  However, the above-described conventional indoor / outdoor air pressure difference elimination structure has a drawback of reducing airtightness and appearance of the door because a window hole must be provided in the door. In addition, the door must be provided with an open / close plate that opens and closes the window hole, and an interlocking device such as a lifting bar that operates the open / close plate in conjunction with the operation of the operation handle, which complicates the mechanism and allows easy installation. However, there was a disadvantage that the cost increased. Furthermore, if the door is provided with a window hole, there is a possibility that the crime prevention performance against the thumb turn which has been increasing rapidly in recent years may be lowered. Moreover, it is not preferable from the viewpoint of safety that the opening / closing plate for opening and closing the window hole may be pinched by fingers.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and provides an opening assisting lock capable of eliminating the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the room without providing a window hole or an opening / closing plate, and thus, looks, airtightness, crime prevention and safety. The purpose is to easily open the door which is difficult to open due to negative pressure without lowering the pressure.

Next, means for solving the above problems will be described with reference to the drawings corresponding to the embodiments.

A reaction force member 39 provided in the notch 41;
A peg opening latch 83 which is provided so as to be able to advance and retreat from the door opening / closing end 19 and abuts against the reaction force member 39 by advancing movement, and pegs the door 13 in the opening direction;
The latch bolt 65 is fixed to the operation shaft 79 and locked to the latch bolt 65, and the latch bolt 65 is retracted by rotating the operation shaft 79, the retracted state of the latch bolt 65 is maintained, and the latch bolt A retraction cam 81 for moving the retraction latch 83 forward by further rotating operation of the operation shaft 79 after retracting 65;
And having
The peg opening latch 83 and the latch bolt 65 are advanced and retracted in the same direction from the door opening / closing end 19,
An inclined surface 103 is formed on the side of the door closing direction at the tip of the peg opening latch 83 to gradually reduce the thickness of the peg opening latch 83 toward the tip,
The reaction force member 39 is formed with a corner portion 109 that is sandwiched between a surface 105 parallel to the advancing and retreating direction of the prying latch 83 and a surface 107 orthogonal to the parallel surface 105 and in sliding contact with the inclined surface 103. And
The latch bolt 65 is retracted by the rotational operation of the operation shaft 79 in the door closed state, and after the door 13 is released from the closed state, the retracted state of the latch bolt 65 is maintained. In a series of rotation operations, the peg opening latch 83 advances and the inclined surface 103 of the peg opening latch 83 comes into contact with the corner portion 109 of the reaction force member 39 to generate a reaction force that pegs the door 13 in the opening direction. Along with the advancing movement of the pry opening latch 83, a gap is formed between the door opening / closing end 19 and the entire peripheral edge and the door frame 11.

  In the opening assisting lock 100, when the operation shaft 79 is rotated and the latch bolt 65 is removed from the strike plate 33, the pry opening latch 83 is advanced by the pry opening cam 81 by the series of rotation operations, and the advanced pry opening latch 83 is moved to the door frame. The reaction force which abuts the 11 reaction force member 39 and pry the door 13 in the opening direction is generated. By this opening, a gap is generated between the door opening / closing end 19 of the door 13 and the entire periphery and the door frame 11. For example, when the door 13 is opened in the outdoor direction and the room has a negative pressure, the negative pressure in the room disappears. Even if the door 13 has a negative pressure in the room and requires a large force to open, the door 13 can be easily opened. Further, the components can be accommodated in the lock box 21. Further, since the pry opening latch 83 operates between the door mouth and the door frame 11, the sliding contact portion is not exposed to the outside.

  Further, in the opening assisting lock 100, the pry opening latch 83 is advanced, and when the inclined surface 103 of the pry opening latch 83 is in sliding contact with the corner 109 of the reaction force member 39, the inclined surface 103 of the peg opening latch 83 is A reaction force that squeezes the door 13 in the opening direction is received from the corner portion 109, and this reaction force becomes an assisting force in the door opening direction. That is, the opening assist force can be obtained as a component force from the moving operation in the same direction as the latch bolt 65.

The opening assisting lock 200 according to claim 2 is provided with a latch bolt 65 that moves forward and backward from the door opening / closing end 19 on the side opposite to the suspension base, an operation shaft 79 that moves the latch bolt 65 forward and backward, and the latch bolt provided on the door frame 11. An opening assisting lock 200 for assisting the opening of the door 13 from a state in which the door 13 is in a closed state and the latch bolt 65 is detached from the strike plate 33;
A reaction force member 121 provided on the door frame 11, provided with a mountain-shaped convex portion 141 having inclined surfaces 133, 135 on the surface facing the outdoors, the convex portion 141 facing the door 13 in the closed state;
The operation shaft 79 protrudes radially outward and is fixed in parallel to the surface of the door 13, and is brought into contact with the reaction force member 121 by the rotation operation of the operation shaft 79. Prying barge 123 on board 141,
Comprising
The latch bolt 65 is retracted by the rotational operation of the operation shaft 79 in the door closed state, and after the door 13 is released from the closed state, the retracted state of the latch bolt 65 is maintained. In a series of rotation operations, the prying bar 123 rotates to contact the reaction force member 121 and ride on the convex portion 141 from the inclined surfaces 133 and 135 to generate a reaction force that squeezes the door 13 in the opening direction. Along with the rotation of the prying bar 123, a gap is created from the door opening / closing end 19 to the entire periphery and the door frame 11.

  In the opening assisting lock 200, when the operation shaft 79 is rotated and the latch bolt 65 is removed from the strike plate 33, the revolving force 123 comes into contact with the reaction force member 121 of the door frame 11 by this series of rotation operations, and this reaction force Riding on the convex portion 141 from the inclined surfaces 133 and 135 of the member 121, that is, a prying rod 123 enters between the convex portion 141 on the door frame 11 side and the door surface, and the door 13 is moved against the stationary door frame 11 side. Creates a reaction force that opens in the opening direction. This opening causes a gap from the door opening / closing end 19 of the door 13 of the door 13 to the entire periphery and the door frame 11. For example, when the door 13 is opened in the outdoor direction and the room has a negative pressure, Even if the door 13 has no pressure and has a negative pressure in the room and requires a large force to open, the door 13 can be easily opened. Further, the constituent members are provided outside the operation shaft 79, and the lock box structure is simplified.

  The opening assisting lock 200 according to claim 3 is the opening assisting lock according to claim 2, wherein a rotatable roller 143 is provided coaxially on the prying opening 123, and the prying opening 123 causes the roller 143 to roll. However, it contacts the reaction force member 121 and rides on the convex portion 141.

  In the opening assisting lock 200, when the operation shaft 79 is further rotated after the pry opening lever 123 comes into contact with the reaction force member 121, and the pry opening lever 123 is slidably contacted with the reaction force member 121, the roller 143 is moved to the reaction force member. The frictional force at the time of contact between the prying bar 123 and the reaction force member 121 becomes small while rolling 121.

  According to the opening assisting lock of claim 1 according to the present invention, the door frame is provided with a reaction force member, and the door opening / closing end is provided with a peg opening latch that abuts against the reaction force member by advancing movement to pry the door in the opening direction, Even if it is a door that has a negative pressure in the room and a large force is required for opening because the opening cam that moves the latch forward by moving the operating shaft after retracting the latch bolt is fixed to the operating shaft. When the operating shaft is rotated and the latch bolt comes out of the strike plate, a series of rotational operations causes the pry-out cam to pry out and the peg-opening latch abuts against the reaction force member of the door frame to open the door. Creates a reaction force that squeezes in the direction. This prying opens a gap between the entire peripheral edge of the door and the door frame, eliminating the negative pressure in the room. As a result, the door that is difficult to open due to the action of negative pressure can be easily opened by a series of opening operations that actuate the latch bolt without providing an opening window or the like that reduces airtightness and crime prevention. . Moreover, since a structural member can be stored in a lock box, while being easy to attach to a door, an appearance is not reduced. Furthermore, since the pry opening latch operates between the door mouth and the door frame, it is possible to ensure high safety without pinching fingers.

  Further, according to this opening assist lock, since the inclined surface is formed at the tip of the open latch that is advanced and retracted in the same direction as the latch bolt, and the corner portion that is in sliding contact with the inclined surface is formed on the reaction member, When the latch is advanced and the inclined surface of the pry-out latch slides into contact with the corner of the reaction member, the peg-open latch receives a reaction force to pry the door in the opening direction from the reaction member, and this reaction force assists the door in the opening direction. It becomes. Therefore, the assisting force generating mechanism can be configured in a simple and small space and without being exposed to the outside. In addition, the notch portion prevents interference when the door is opened in a state in which the peg opening latch protrudes from the door.

  According to the opening assisting lock of claim 2, the reaction force member is provided on the door frame, and the door is opened in the opening direction by contacting the reaction force member by rotating the operation shaft after the latch bolt is retracted. Is fixed to the operating shaft, so even if the door has negative pressure and requires a large force to open, if the operating shaft is turned and the latch bolt comes off the strike plate, a series of rotation operations are performed. As a result, the prying hook comes into contact with the reaction force member of the door frame to generate a reaction force that pry the door in the opening direction. This prying opens a gap between the entire peripheral edge of the door and the door frame, eliminating the negative pressure in the room. As a result, the door that is difficult to open due to the action of negative pressure can be easily opened by a series of opening operations that actuate the latch bolt without providing an opening window or the like that reduces airtightness and crime prevention. . In addition, since the constituent members are provided outside the operation shaft, the lock box structure is simplified, the attachment to the door is facilitated, and the apparatus cost and the installation cost can be reduced.

  According to the opening assisting lock of the third aspect, since the roller that abuts while rolling on the reaction force member is rotatably provided on the opening force lever, the operation shaft further moves after the opening force contact with the reaction force member. When the pry bar is rotated and slidably contacted with the reaction force member, the roller makes contact while rolling the reaction force member, so the frictional force at the time of contact decreases, and as a result, the pry force is rotated by a small rotation of the operating shaft. It can be obtained by operating force.

  According to the opening assisting lock, the reaction force member is substantially integrated with the strike plate, which makes it easy to attach to the door frame side, and also provides a peg opening latch and a peg opening lever. Can be easily set.

  On the other hand, the strike plate 33 shown in FIG. 2 is attached to the door frame 11 by a fixing member 35 such as a screw. The strike plate 33 is provided with an engagement hole 37 into which a dead bolt 49 and a latch bolt 65, which will be described later, enter, and a reaction force member 39 with which the knurling latch 83 slides. The reaction force member 39 is screwed by a fixing member 43 such as a screw into a notch 41 having a U-shaped notch on one side of the strike plate 33 in the opening direction.

  On the rear end surface of the cylinder lock 45 disposed inside the lock box 21, an operating rod 47 that rotates by the operation of the key is protruded toward the outside of the rotation radius. The lock box 21 is provided with a dead bolt 49 below the cylinder lock 45, and the dead bolt 49 is engaged with a support pin 53 fixed to the lock box 21 in a horizontally long slot 51 so that the front plate 29 It is free to advance and retreat. A recess 55 is formed in the upper part of the dead bolt 49, and the dead bolt 49 is advanced and retracted by rotating the key by engaging the operating rod 47 with the recess 55.

  Inside the lock box 21, a lock plate 59 is swingably provided around the support pin 57 below the dead bolt 49, and the lock plate 59 is unlocked in the unlocking direction via a connecting rod 61 interlocking with the operating rod 47. Is swung. That is, the lock plate 59 is disposed so as to engage with the notch 63 of the dead bolt 49 and restrict the backward movement of the dead bolt 49 in a state where the operating rod 47 advances the dead bolt 49. This restriction is released by the connecting rod 61 when the operating rod 47 moves the dead bolt 49 in the backward direction.

  Inside the lock box 21, a latch bolt 65 that moves forward and backward in the same direction as the dead bolt 49 is provided below the dead bolt 49. The latch bolt 65 is urged by the compression spring 67 so that the tip portion protrudes from the front plate 29. In the present embodiment, the front end of the latch bolt 65 has a side surface (a side surface on the indoor side or a side surface in the closing direction of the door 13) facing the door stop 15 as an inclined surface 69. Therefore, when the door 13 is closed from the opened state of the door 13, the latch bolt 65 in the protruding state is abutted against the end of the strike plate 33 and retracted, and at the same time the door 13 is closed, the strike plate 33 is engaged. The hole 37 is entered and the door 13 is kept closed.

  A trapezoidal member 71 having a curved inclined surface on the lower side is fixed to the rear end portion of the latch bolt 65. The latch bolt 65 is retracted by a later-described prying cam 81 through the trapezoidal member 71.

  Inside the lock box 21, a support pin 73 is provided below the latch bolt 65, and a latch restricting plate 75 is swingably supported by the support pin 73. The latch regulating plate 75 is connected to the dead bolt 49 on the opposite side to the support pin 73 via a rotation pin 77. When the dead bolt 49 is advanced, the abutment surface 75a abuts against the rear surface of the front end of the latch bolt 65. It works to regulate the retraction of the bolt 65. That is, in a state where the dead bolt 49 protrudes, the latch bolt 65 cannot be retracted and protrudes.

  A rotatable operating shaft 79 is passed through the lock box 21 below the latch bolt 65. At both ends of the operation shaft 79 penetrating the lock box 21, lever handles or knobs are fixed on the outdoor side surface and the indoor side surface of the door 13. That is, the operation shaft 79 is rotated by a rotation operation of a lever handle or the like. A pry cam 81 is fixed to the operation shaft 79 in the lock box 21.

  Inside the lock box 21, a peg opening latch 83 that moves forward and backward in the same direction as the dead bolt 49 is provided below the operation shaft 79. A support bolt 85 extends from the rear of the peg opening latch 83, and this support bolt 85 is slidably supported by a U-shaped support plate 87 fixed to the lock box 21. A seat plate 89 is fixed to the rear end of the support bolt 85, and a compression spring 91 is externally inserted into the support bolt 85 between the seat plate 89 and the support plate 87. The compression spring 91 urges the seat plate 89 in the direction away from the support plate 87, thereby retreating the peg opening latch 83 into the lock box 21.

  The pry opening cam 81 has an engaging projection 93 that engages with the trapezoidal member 71 and a pressing portion 95 that advances the pry opening latch 83 project outward from the rotation radius. One end of the pegging cam 81 is hooked on a support pin 97 erected on the lock box 21 and the other end is hooked on a hooking piece 99 formed on the pegging cam 81. The cam 81 is urged counterclockwise in FIG. As will be described in detail in the description of the operation to be described later, the prying cam 81 rotates clockwise to move the trapezoidal member 71 in the right direction in FIG. 1 and retract the latch bolt 65. Further, the seat plate 89 is pressed by the pressing portion 95.

  An inclined surface 103 is formed on the side surface on the door closing direction side at the front end portion of the pry opening latch 83. This inclined surface 103 becomes an inclined surface that gradually pricks the open latch 83 toward the tip.

  The reaction force member 39 attached to the strike plate 33 is sandwiched between a surface 105 parallel to the advancing and retreating direction of the prying latch 83 and a surface 107 orthogonal to the parallel surface 105, and a corner portion 109 in sliding contact with the inclined surface 103. have. The corner portion 109 of the reaction force member 39 is brought into sliding contact with the inclined surface 103 by the advancement of the prying latch 83. The surface of the corner 109 is preferably a curved surface.

  Therefore, when the peg opening latch 83 is advanced and the inclined surface 103 of the peg opening latch 83 is in sliding contact with the corner 109 of the reaction force member 39, the inclined surface 103 of the peg opening latch 83 moves the door 13 from the corner 109 of the reaction force member 39. In response to the reaction force squeezing in the opening direction, this reaction force becomes an assisting force in the direction of opening the door 13 (door opening direction). That is, the opening assist force can be obtained as a component force from the moving operation in the same direction as the latch bolt 65. For this reason, the mechanism for generating the assisting force is configured in a simple and small space and without being exposed to the outside.

The operation of the opening assisting lock 100 configured as described above will be described.
FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the operation when the latch bolt is advanced according to the first embodiment, FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the operation when the latch bolt is retracted according to the first embodiment, and FIG. 6 is a peg opening latch according to the first embodiment. FIG. 7 is a plan view of the door opening / closing end that has been pry open by the advance of the pry opening latch.
When the cylinder lock 45 is in the locked state in the lock box 21, the dead bolt 49 is advanced, and the latch restricting plate 75 prevents the latch bolt 65 from retreating (see the state in FIG. 1). As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, the prying cam 81 in which the engagement protrusion 93 is brought into contact with the trapezoidal member 71 of the latch bolt 65 becomes non-rotatable, and the lever handle fixed to the operation shaft 79 cannot be rotated. It becomes.

  When the cylinder lock 45 is unlocked by the key lock, the dead bolt 49 is retracted into the lock box 21 and the restriction to the latch bolt 65 by the latch restriction plate 75 is released. That is, the operation shaft 79 can be rotated.

  When the lever handle is rotated in the direction in which the latch bolt 65 is moved backward in this state, the operation shaft 79 is rotated clockwise as shown in FIG. 5, and the engaging projection 93 of the pry cam 81 is brought into contact with the trapezoidal member 71. Then, the latch bolt 65 is retracted into the lock box 21.

  Simultaneously with the completion of the retraction of the latch bolt 65, the pressing portion 95 comes into contact with the seat plate 89 of the open latch 83. When the operation shaft 79 is further rotated clockwise from this state, as shown in FIG. 6, the pressing portion 95 presses the seat plate 89, and the peg opening latch 83 is protruded from the front plate 29. At this time, while the curved surface 71a of the trapezoidal member 71 is pressed against the edge 93a of the engaging protrusion 93, the latch bolt 65 is brought into a sliding contact state between the curved surface 71a and the end surface of the engaging protrusion 93, and is held in the retracted state.

  When the pry-out latch 83 is advanced, the inclined surface 103 comes into contact with the corner portion 109 of the reaction force member 39 as shown in FIG. When the inclined surface 103 of the peg opening latch 83 is in sliding contact with the corner portion 109 of the reaction force member 39, the inclined surface 103 of the peg opening latch 83 receives a reaction force that pry the door 13 in the opening direction from the corner portion 109. Helps in the opening direction. Thereby, the door 13 is pry open and the door 13 is separated from the gasket 17. As a result, a gap S is created between the door opening / closing end 19 of the door 13 and the entire periphery of the door 13 and the door frame 11, the indoor and outdoor ventilation is performed, the negative pressure on the indoor side is eliminated, and the indoor is opened with a negative pressure. Even if the door 13 requires a large force, it can be easily opened.

  According to the opening assisting lock 100, the door frame 11 is provided with the reaction force member 39, and the door opening / closing end 19 is provided with the peg opening latch 83 that abuts against the reaction force member 39 by the advancing movement to pry the door 13 in the opening direction. Since the pry cam 81 that moves the peg opening latch 83 is moved forward by the rotation operation of the operation shaft 79 after the bolt 65 has been retracted is fixed to the operation shaft 79, the door has negative pressure and requires a large force to open. 13, when the operation shaft 79 is rotated and the latch bolt 65 is removed from the strike plate 33, the pry opening cam 81 advances the peg opening latch 83 by the series of rotation operations, and the advanced peg opening latch 83 moves into the door frame 11. The reaction force 39 is abutted against the reaction force member 39 to generate a reaction force that squeezes the door 13 in the opening direction. In other words, the closed state of the door 13 by the latch bolt 65 is released at the initial stage during the operation of rotating the operation shaft 79 in the opening operation of the door by a lever handle or the like. You will be prying open. By this opening, a gap S is generated between the entire periphery of the door 13 and the door frame 11, and the negative pressure in the room is eliminated. As a result, by providing a series of opening operations to operate the latch bolt 65 without providing an opening window or the like that lowers the airtightness and crime prevention property on the door 13, that is, by performing a very natural operation to open the door 13, The door 13 that has become difficult to open due to the negative pressure can be easily opened.

  Moreover, since a structural member can be stored in the lock box 21, while being easy to attach to the door 13, an appearance is not reduced.

  Furthermore, since the pry opening latch 83 operates between the door mouth and the door frame 11, it is possible to ensure high safety without pinching fingers.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the inclined surface 103 is formed in the pry opening latch 83 and the reaction member 39 has the corner 109 and the peg opening is performed by sliding contact with each other has been described. Further, a roller member or the like may be provided at the position of the corner 109 of the reaction force member 39 so as to roll by contact with the inclined surface 103 of the pry opening latch 83 to guide it. It is also possible to provide a configuration in which a roller is provided on the reaction force member 39 and an inclined surface is formed on the reaction force member 39 so that the roller at the tip of the reaction force member 39 rolls on the inclination surface of the reaction force member in accordance with the advancing movement of the peg opening latch 39.

Next, a second embodiment of the opening assisting lock according to the present invention will be described.
8 is a front view of the opening assisting lock according to the second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 9 is a plan view of the opening assisting lock shown in FIG. 8, and FIG. 10 is a door end of the opening assisting lock shown in FIG. FIG. 11 is a longitudinal sectional view of a lock box of the opening assisting lock shown in FIG. In addition, the same code | symbol shall be attached | subjected to the member and site | part same as the member and site | part shown to FIGS. 1-7, and the overlapping description shall be abbreviate | omitted.

  The opening assisting lock 200 according to the second embodiment includes a reaction force member 121 provided on the door frame 11 and an operation shaft after the latch bolt 65 is retracted and fixed to the operation shaft 79 so as to protrude radially outward. A peg opening bar 123 that abuts against the reaction force member 121 by the rotation operation 79 and pegs the door 13 in the opening direction is provided. Therefore, the difference from the opening assisting lock 100 of the first embodiment is that it does not have the pry opening latch 83, the pry opening cam 81, the pry opening lever 123, and the reaction member 121. The shape is different.

  For this reason, the lock box 125 shown in FIG. 11 used in the present embodiment omits the peg opening latch 83 and the peg opening cam 81 from the lock box 21 of the first embodiment, and newly adds a latch bolt retraction cam 127. It is comprised by providing. Here, the latch bolt retracting cam 127 has a shape in which only the pressing portion 95 is omitted from the pry opening cam 81, and other functions are the same as the pry opening cam 81. In FIG. 8, reference numeral 129 denotes a thumb turn that allows the dead bolt 49 to move forward and backward by a rotating operation, and 131 denotes a lever.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the reaction force member 121 is formed in a mountain shape having two inclined surfaces 133 and 135 when viewed from the front. As shown in FIG. 10, a chevron-shaped convex portion 141 having two inclined surfaces 137 and 139 is formed on the back side of the surfaces 133 and 135, which is a surface facing the outdoors. Accordingly, when the operation shaft 79 is rotated clockwise in FIG. 8 and the pry bar ridge 123 rides on the convex portion 141 of the reaction member 121, an assisting force in the door opening direction acts on the door 13 via the operation shaft 79. It is like that.

  It is preferable to attach a cap or the like of a low friction material to the tip of the prying bar 123. Further, the pry bar 123 may be provided with a rotatable roller 143 coaxially. In the configuration including such a roller 143, the prying bar 123 contacts the convex portion 141 of the reaction force member 121 while rolling the roller 143. As a result, after the prying bar 123 comes into contact with the reaction force member 121, when the operation shaft 79 is further rotated and the peg opening bar 123 is slidably contacted with the reaction force member 121, the rollers 143 are inclined surfaces of the reaction force member 121. , The frictional force at the time of contact is reduced, and as a result, a pry-off force can be obtained by a small rotational operating force of the operating shaft 79.

The operation of the opening assisting lock 200 configured as described above will be described.
FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining the operation when the latch bolt is advanced according to the second embodiment, FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining the operation when the latch bolt is retracted according to the second embodiment, and FIG. FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining the operation in plan view when the second embodiment is pry open.

  When the operation shaft 79 is rotated in the direction in which the latch bolt 65 is retracted by the lever 131 in a state where the cylinder lock 45 is unlocked by the key and the dead bolt 49 is retracted into the lock box 21, as shown in FIG. Then, the operating shaft 79 is rotated clockwise, the engaging projection 93 of the latch bolt retracting cam 127 comes into contact with the trapezoidal member 71, and the latch bolt 65 is retracted into the lock box 121.

  Simultaneously with the completion of the retraction of the latch bolt 65 shown in FIG. 13, the roller 143 of the prying bar 123 comes into contact with the inclined surface 139 of the convex portion 141. When the operation shaft 79 is further rotated clockwise in the figure from this state, the roller 143 rides on the convex portion 141. At this time, as shown in FIG. 14, the latch bolt 65 is held in the retracted state while the curved surface 71 a of the trapezoidal member 71 is pressed against the edge 93 a of the engagement protrusion 93.

  As the roller 143 rides on the convex portion 141 in this way, the prying bar 123 receives a reaction force that pricks the door 13 in the opening direction from the reaction force member 121, and this reaction force becomes an assisting force in the door opening direction. Thereby, the door 13 is pry open and the door 13 is separated from the gasket 17. As a result, as shown in FIG. 15, a gap S is generated between the door opening / closing end 19 of the door 13 and the entire periphery and the door frame 11. Even the door 13 that has a negative pressure and requires a large force to open can be easily opened.

  According to the opening assisting lock 200, the reaction force member 121 is provided on the door frame 11, and the door 13 is opened in the opening direction by contacting the reaction force member 121 by the rotation operation of the operation shaft 79 after the latch bolt 65 is retracted. Since the prying lever 123 is fixed to the operation shaft 79, the operation shaft 79 is rotated and the latch bolt 65 is moved to the strike plate 33 even if the door 13 has a negative pressure in the room and requires a large force to open. When it comes off, the prying bar 123 comes into contact with the reaction force member 121 of the door frame 11 by the series of rotation operations, and generates a reaction force that pry the door 13 in the opening direction. By this opening, a gap is created between the entire periphery of the door 13 and the door frame 11, and the negative pressure in the room is eliminated. As a result, the door 13 that is difficult to open due to the action of negative pressure is easily opened by a series of opening operations that actuate the latch bolt 65 without providing an opening window or the like that lowers the airtightness and crime prevention in the door 13. be able to.

  Further, since the constituent members are provided outside the operation shaft 79, the lock box structure is simplified, the attachment to the door 13 is facilitated, and the apparatus cost and the installation cost can be reduced.
