Description

本発明は、扉に設置されるラッチ錠に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a latch lock installed on a door.

扉が開閉するときには、扉内（錠箱内）に退入したラッチが元の姿勢に復帰することに起因するカチッという音が生じる。
この音は、病院や図書館等の静寂な環境下においては耳障りであり、改善が望まれていた。特許文献１、２には、ラッチが錠箱から突出する際の移動速度を遅くし、音が生じにくくなるようにするための構成が開示されている。 When the door opens and closes, a clicking sound is generated due to the latch that has entered the door (inside the lock box) returning to its original posture.
This sound is jarring in a quiet environment such as a hospital or library, and improvement has been desired. Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose a configuration for slowing down the moving speed when the latch protrudes from the lock box and making it difficult for sound to be generated.

特許第３７１０１０４号公報Japanese Patent No. 3710104 特許第５６５９４３６号公報Japanese Patent No. 5659436

ところで、特許文献１、２の様な従来の消音装置は、部品点数が多い上に構造が複雑であるという短所があり改善の余地がある。
そこで本発明は、簡単な構成でラッチの復帰時の移動速度を低減させ、扉の開閉時に音が生じにくいラッチ錠を提供することを課題としている。 By the way, the conventional sound deadening device as described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 has a disadvantage that the number of parts is large and the structure is complicated, and there is room for improvement.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a latch lock which can reduce the moving speed when the latch is returned with a simple configuration and is less likely to generate noise when the door is opened and closed.

上記課題を解決するための請求項１に記載の発明は、錠箱に着脱可能に装着されるラッチユニットを有し、前記ラッチユニットは、ラッチと当該ラッチを収容する収容部材を有し、前記ラッチは、前記収容部材から突出する突出位置と前記収容部材内に退入する退入位置の間をスライド移動可能であり、ラッチが収容部材から突出する突出方向に付勢力を生じさせる付勢部材と、前記付勢部材によってラッチの突出方向に付勢されてラッチを押圧する押圧部材とを有し、前記押圧部材又は前記収容部材のいずれか一方が、ラッチの突出方向に対して傾斜するガイドラインを有し、前記押圧部材又は前記収容部材のいずれか他方が係合部を有し、前記係合部は前記ガイドラインに係合しており、押圧部材が移動する際に、前記係合部が前記ガイドラインに沿って相対移動することを特徴とするラッチ錠である。
本発明に関連する発明は、ラッチと、当該ラッチを保持する保持部を有する錠箱とを有し、前記ラッチは、錠箱から突出する突出位置と錠箱内に退入する退入位置の間をスライド移動可能であり、ラッチが錠箱から突出する突出方向に付勢力を生じさせる付勢部材と、前記付勢部材によってラッチの突出方向に付勢されてラッチを押圧する押圧部材とを有し、前記押圧部材又は錠箱の前記保持部のいずれか一方が、ラッチの突出方向に対して傾斜するガイドラインを有し、前記押圧部材又は前記保持部のいずれか他方が係合部を有し、前記係合部は前記ガイドラインに係合しており、押圧部材が移動する際に、前記係合部が前記ガイドラインに沿って相対移動することを特徴とするラッチ錠である。 The invention according to claim 1 for solving the above problems has a latch unit that is detachably attached to a lock box, and the latch unit has a latch and an accommodating member for accommodating the latch. latch, wherein the projecting position projecting from the receiving member between the entry position retreat to retracts into the accommodating member is slidably movable, a biasing member producing a biasing force to the projecting direction of the latch protrudes from the housing member A guideline that includes a pressing member that is urged by the urging member in the projecting direction of the latch to press the latch, and one of the pressing member and the accommodating member is inclined with respect to the projecting direction of the latch. The pressing member or either one of the accommodating members has an engaging portion, and the engaging portion engages with the guideline, and when the pressing member moves, the engaging portion is engaged. It is a latch lock characterized in that it moves relative to each other according to the guideline.
The invention related to the present invention has a latch and a lock box having a holding portion for holding the latch, and the latch has a protruding position protruding from the lock box and an retracting position for entering and exiting the lock box.

The inner diameter of the hole 21 is large enough to allow the pressing member 8 to pass through, and is smaller than the diameter of the spring 9 described later. Further, the step portion 22 is a portion where the spring 9 is brought into contact with the spring 9.

孔２１には、図１０（ａ）、図１０（ｂ）に示す様に、二つの突起部２３ａ、２３ｂ（係合部）が設けられている。突起部２３ａ、２３ｂは、孔２１の内周面から内向きに突出しており、互いに対向して接近する方向に突出している。すなわち、突起部２３ａ、２３ｂは、孔２１の内周面の１８０度の位置関係にある。換言すると、突起部２３ａの延長上に突起部２３ｂがある。 As shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, the hole 21 is provided with two protrusions 23a and 23b (engagement portions). The protrusions 23a and 23b project inward from the inner peripheral surface of the hole 21 and project in a direction facing each other and approaching each other. That is, the protrusions 23a and 23b are in a 180-degree positional relationship with the inner peripheral surface of the hole 21. In other words, there is a protrusion 23b on the extension of the protrusion 23a.

張出部２０ａ、２０ｂの端部には、それぞれ挿入部２４ａ、２４ｂが設けられている。挿入部２４ａ、２４ｂは、図１３に示すラッチケース７の係合孔１３ａ、１３ｂに挿入する部位である。図７及び図１０（ｂ）に示す様に、挿入部２４ａ、２４ｂの背面側には、それぞれ隆起部２５ａ、２５ｂが設けられている。 Insertion portions 24a and 24b are provided at the ends of the overhanging portions 20a and 20b, respectively. The insertion portions 24a and 24b are portions to be inserted into the engagement holes 13a and 13b of the latch case 7 shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 10 (b), raised portions 25a and 25b are provided on the back surface side of the insertion portions 24a and 24b, respectively.

隆起部２５ａ、２５ｂは、挿入部２４ａ、２４ｂが、図１３に示すラッチケース７の係合孔１３ａ、１３ｂに挿入された際に、係合孔１３ａ、１３ｂに係合し、挿入部２４ａ、２４ｂと係合孔１３ａ、１３ｂの間に抵抗を付与する抜け止め機能を発揮する。 The raised portions 25a and 25b engage with the engaging holes 13a and 13b when the inserting portions 24a and 24b are inserted into the engaging holes 13a and 13b of the latch case 7 shown in FIG. It exerts a retaining function that imparts resistance between the 24b and the engaging holes 13a and 13b.

図２に示す様に、錠箱５内には、係合片５２を有する揺動防止部材５１が設けられている。揺動防止部材５１は錠箱５内で回動可能であり、ばね５３によって一方向に付勢されている。また、揺動防止部材５１は、図示しない操作ハンドルを操作することにより、ばね５３の付勢力に抗して揺動防止部材５１を回動させることができる。 As shown in FIG. 2, a rocking prevention member 51 having an engaging piece 52 is provided in the lock box 5. The rocking prevention member 51 is rotatable in the lock box 5 and is urged in one direction by the spring 53. Further, the rocking prevention member 51 can rotate the rocking prevention member 51 against the urging force of the spring 53 by operating an operation handle (not shown).

係合片５２は、ラッチ６の下方に配置されており、錠箱５（仕切部５ｂ）の長孔５０ｂと、ラッチケース７の底面壁部２８の切欠部２９（図５）を貫通して、ラッチ６の下部に設けた係合部３０の係合溝３０ａ（図５、図８）と係合している。ばね５３は、係合片５２が係合溝３０ａと係合する方向に揺動防止部材５１を付勢している。すなわち、図示しない操作ハンドルを操作すると、係合片５２がラッチ６の係合溝３０ａから外れ、操作ハンドルから手を離すとばね５３によって係合片５２が元の位置に復帰して係合溝３０ａと係合する。 The engaging piece 52 is arranged below the latch 6 and penetrates the elongated hole 50b of the lock box 5 (partition portion 5b) and the notch 29 (FIG. 5) of the bottom wall portion 28 of the latch case 7. , It is engaged with the engaging groove 30a (FIGS. 5 and 8) of the engaging portion 30 provided at the lower part of the latch 6. The spring 53 urges the swing prevention member 51 in the direction in which the engaging piece 52 engages with the engaging groove 30a. That is, when an operation handle (not shown) is operated, the engaging piece 52 is disengaged from the engaging groove 30a of the latch 6, and when the hand is released from the operating handle, the engaging piece 52 is returned to the original position by the spring 53 and the engaging groove is returned. Engage with 30a.

係合片５２が係合溝３０ａに係合するとラッチ６は揺動不能となり、係合片５２が係合溝３０ａから外れるとラッチ６は揺動可能になる。すなわち、係合片５２が係合溝３０ａから外れた状態で当接部３１が扉枠２に当接すると、ラッチ６は揺動する。
揺動防止部材５１の詳しい構造の説明は省略する。 When the engaging piece 52 engages with the engaging groove 30a, the latch 6 cannot swing, and when the engaging piece 52 disengages from the engaging groove 30a, the latch 6 swings. That is, when the contact portion 31 comes into contact with the door frame 2 while the engaging piece 52 is disengaged from the engaging groove 30a, the latch 6 swings.
A detailed description of the structure of the rocking prevention member 51 will be omitted.

ばね９（付勢部材）は螺旋ばねであり、ラッチ側支持部材１０、反ラッチ側支持部材１１の間に配された圧縮ばねである。すなわち、ばね９の正面側の端部はラッチ側支持部材１０の正面壁部１５に当接しており、背面側の端部は反ラッチ側支持部材１１の段部２２に当接している。そのため、ラッチ側支持部材１０が反ラッチ側支持部材１１に接近するほどばね９は圧縮されて付勢力は大きくなる。 The spring 9 (the urging member) is a spiral spring, which is a compression spring arranged between the latch-side support member 10 and the anti-latch-side support member 11. That is, the front end of the spring 9 is in contact with the front wall 15 of the latch side support member 10, and the back end is in contact with the step 22 of the anti-latch side support member 11. Therefore, as the latch-side support member 10 approaches the anti-latch-side support member 11, the spring 9 is compressed and the urging force increases.

次に、ラッチユニット４の各構成部材の関係について説明する。
図１４（ａ）に示す様に、押圧部材８の本体部８ａがラッチ側支持部材１０の正面壁部１５の孔１５ａ（図９）を貫通し、フランジ部８ｂが正面壁部１５に当接している。
また、押圧部材８の本体部８ａは、図１３に示す反ラッチ側支持部材１１の孔２１も貫通しており、図１４（ｃ）に示す様に、孔２１の突起部２３ａ、２３ｂ（係合部）が、押圧部材８の螺旋状の２条の溝１４ａ、１４ｂ（ガイドライン）にそれぞれ係合している。図７では、突起部２３ａが一方の溝１４ａに係合している状態が示されているが、図１４（ｃ）に示す様に、突起部２３ｂも他方の溝１４ｂに係合している。 Next, the relationship between the constituent members of the latch unit 4 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 14A, the main body 8a of the pressing member 8 penetrates the hole 15a (FIG. 9) of the front wall portion 15 of the latch side support member 10, and the flange portion 8b abuts on the front wall portion 15. ing.
Further, the main body 8a of the pressing member 8 also penetrates the hole 21 of the anti-latch side support member 11 shown in FIG. 13, and as shown in FIG. 14C, the protruding portions 23a and 23b of the hole 21 (engaged). The joint portion) is engaged with the spiral two grooves 14a and 14b (guidelines) of the pressing member 8, respectively. FIG. 7 shows a state in which the protrusion 23a is engaged with one groove 14a, but as shown in FIG. 14C, the protrusion 23b is also engaged with the other groove 14b. ..

押圧部材８の本体部８ａには、ばね９（付勢部材）が外嵌されている。ばね９の正面側（ラッチ側）の端部が、ラッチ側支持部材１０の正面壁部１５に当接している。また、ばね９の背面側（反ラッチ側）の端部が、反ラッチ側支持部材１１の段部２２に当接している。 A spring 9 (a urging member) is externally fitted to the main body 8a of the pressing member 8. The front end (latch side) end of the spring 9 is in contact with the front wall portion 15 of the latch side support member 10. Further, the end portion of the spring 9 on the back surface side (anti-latch side) is in contact with the step portion 22 of the anti-latch side support member 11.

図６、図７に示すラッチ６、ラッチ側支持部材１０、反ラッチ側支持部材１１、押圧部材８、ばね９が、図４（ａ）、図４（ｂ）に示すラッチケース７に装着されている。すなわち、ラッチケース７は、ラッチ６を収容する収容部材として機能すると共に、ラッチ６を保持する保持部としても機能する。 The latch 6, the latch-side support member 10, the anti-latch-side support member 11, the pressing member 8, and the spring 9 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 are mounted on the latch case 7 shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b). ing. That is, the latch case 7 functions as an accommodating member for accommodating the latch 6, and also functions as a holding portion for holding the latch 6.

ラッチ６は、図４（ａ）に示す様に、開口７ａの縁３９（抜け止め）に係合してラッチケース７の開口７ａから一部が突出した状態で保持されている。すなわち、図６に示すラッチ６の起立壁部３２が開口７ａの縁３９に当接し、ラッチケース７からのラッチ６のそれ以上の突出が阻止されている。 As shown in FIG. 4A, the latch 6 is held in a state in which a part of the latch 6 is engaged with the edge 39 (retainer) of the opening 7a and partially protrudes from the opening 7a of the latch case 7. That is, the upright wall portion 32 of the latch 6 shown in FIG. 6 abuts on the edge 39 of the opening 7a, and further protrusion of the latch 6 from the latch case 7 is prevented.

また、押圧部材８のフランジ部８ｂが、図７、図１４（ａ）等に示す様に、ラッチ６の被押圧部６ａの側面部６ｂに当接している。
さらに、反ラッチ側支持部材１１の挿入部２４ａ、２４ｂが、ラッチケース７の突出係合部１２ａ、１２ｂの係合孔１３ａ、１３ｂに挿入されている。挿入部２４ａ、２４ｂの隆起部２５ａ、２５ｂが係合孔１３ａ、１３ｂに係合している。そのため、反ラッチ側支持部材１１は、ラッチケース７から容易に外れることがない。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 14 (a), the flange portion 8b of the pressing member 8 is in contact with the side surface portion 6b of the pressed portion 6a of the latch 6.
Further, the insertion portions 24a and 24b of the anti-latch side support member 11 are inserted into the engagement holes 13a and 13b of the protruding engagement portions 12a and 12b of the latch case 7. The raised portions 25a and 25b of the insertion portions 24a and 24b are engaged with the engaging holes 13a and 13b. Therefore, the anti-latch side support member 11 does not easily come off from the latch case 7.

反ラッチ側支持部材１１は、ラッチケース７と一体化されている。すなわち、反ラッチ側支持部材１１は、ラッチケース７の一部とみなすこともできる。
ばね９は、ラッチ側支持部材１０と反ラッチ側支持部材１１の間に縮設されている。そのため、ばね９の付勢力はラッチ６に作用している。 The anti-latch side support member 11 is integrated with the latch case 7. That is, the anti-latch side support member 11 can also be regarded as a part of the latch case 7.
The spring 9 is reduced between the latch-side support member 10 and the anti-latch-side support member 11. Therefore, the urging force of the spring 9 acts on the latch 6.

押圧部材８及びばね９は、ラッチ側支持部材１０と反ラッチ側支持部材１１を介してラッチケース７に対して水平姿勢で支持されている。 The pressing member 8 and the spring 9 are supported in a horizontal posture with respect to the latch case 7 via the latch-side support member 10 and the anti-latch-side support member 11.

さらに、ラッチユニット４は、錠箱５の収容部５ａに収容されて図示しない固定手段によって固定されている。ラッチケース７の底面壁部２８の切欠部２９（図５）と、錠箱５の仕切部５ｂの長孔５０ｂは一致している。さらに、ラッチ６が突出位置にあるときには、図５に示す様に、ラッチ６の係合溝３０ａは、ラッチケース７の底面壁部２８の切欠部２９と一致している。また、係合溝３０ａ及び切欠部２９は、錠箱５の長孔５０ｂ（図２）と一致している。すなわち、ラッチ６が突出位置にあるときには、係合溝３０ａ、切欠部２９、長孔５０ｂが平行な状態で重なっており、係合片５２（図２、図２１（ａ））が切欠部２９、長孔５０ｂを貫通して係合溝３０ａに係合することができる。 Further, the latch unit 4 is housed in the housing portion 5a of the lock box 5 and fixed by a fixing means (not shown). The notch 29 (FIG. 5) of the bottom wall portion 28 of the latch case 7 and the elongated hole 50b of the partition portion 5b of the lock box 5 coincide with each other. Further, when the latch 6 is in the protruding position, as shown in FIG. 5, the engaging groove 30a of the latch 6 coincides with the notch 29 of the bottom wall portion 28 of the latch case 7. Further, the engaging groove 30a and the notch 29 coincide with the elongated hole 50b (FIG. 2) of the lock box 5. That is, when the latch 6 is in the protruding position, the engaging groove 30a, the notch 29, and the elongated hole 50b are overlapped in parallel, and the engaging piece 52 (FIGS. 2 and 21 (a)) is the notch 29. , Can be engaged with the engaging groove 30a through the elongated hole 50b.

次に、ラッチ錠３の動作について説明する。
図１に示す扉１は、図２１（ａ）等に示す様に、建物（扉枠２）にヒンジ４８を介して回動可能に支持されている。すなわち扉１は、図２１（ａ）乃至図２１（ｃ）に示す様に、ヒンジ４８を中心に矢印Ａで示す方向に回動して開き、図２２（ａ）乃至図２２（ｃ）に示す様に、ヒンジ４８を中心に矢印Ｂで示す方向に回動して閉じる。 Next, the operation of the latch lock 3 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 21A and the like, the door 1 shown in FIG. 1 is rotatably supported by a building (door frame 2) via a hinge 48. That is, as shown in FIGS. 21 (a) to 21 (c), the door 1 is rotated around the hinge 48 in the direction indicated by the arrow A to open, and is shown in FIGS. 22 (a) to 22 (c). As shown, the hinge 48 is rotated around the hinge 48 in the direction indicated by the arrow B to close.

図２１（ａ）に示す様な扉１（図１）が閉じた状態では、ラッチ６がラッチケース７の開口７ａから最も突出した突出位置にある。
扉１（図１）が閉じた状態では、ラッチ６の係合溝３０ａに係合片５２が係合しているために、ラッチ６は揺動が不能である。図示しない操作ハンドルを操作すると、係合片５２を係合溝３０ａから外すことができる。この状態では、ラッチ６は揺動することができる。 When the door 1 (FIG. 1) as shown in FIG. 21A is closed, the latch 6 is in the most protruding position from the opening 7a of the latch case 7.
When the door 1 (FIG. 1) is closed, the latch 6 cannot swing because the engaging piece 52 is engaged with the engaging groove 30a of the latch 6. By operating an operation handle (not shown), the engaging piece 52 can be disengaged from the engaging groove 30a. In this state, the latch 6 can swing.

扉１（図１）を開く際、ばね５３（図２）の付勢力に抗して図示しない操作ハンドルを操作し、ラッチ６の係合溝３０ａ（図５、図８）から係合片５２（図２、図２１（ａ））を外し、扉１を矢印Ａ方向に回動させると、図２１（ａ）、図２１（ｂ）に示すラッチ６の当接部３１が扉枠２に押圧されてラッチ６が揺動する。 When opening the door 1 (FIG. 1), an operation handle (not shown) is operated against the urging force of the spring 53 (FIG. 2), and the engagement piece 52 is operated from the engagement groove 30a (FIGS. 5 and 8) of the latch 6. When (FIG. 2 and 21 (a)) are removed and the door 1 is rotated in the direction of arrow A, the contact portion 31 of the latch 6 shown in FIGS. 21 (a) and 21 (b) is attached to the door frame 2. The latch 6 swings when pressed.

図２１（ｂ）に示す状態では、係合溝３０ａが、長孔５０ｂ（図２）及び切欠部２９（図５）と平行ではなくなっており、係合片５２は係合溝３０ａと係合することはできない。また、ラッチケース７の開口７ａの縁３９と、ラッチ６の係合部３０の起立壁部３２も平行ではなくなっている。 In the state shown in FIG. 21B, the engaging groove 30a is not parallel to the elongated hole 50b (FIG. 2) and the notch 29 (FIG. 5), and the engaging piece 52 engages with the engaging groove 30a. You can't. Further, the edge 39 of the opening 7a of the latch case 7 and the upright wall portion 32 of the engaging portion 30 of the latch 6 are not parallel to each other.

図２１（ｂ）に示す状態からさらに矢印Ａ方向に扉１を回動させると、ラッチ６が揺動すると共に当接部３１が扉枠２に対して摺動し、ラッチ６の先端部分が扉枠２に当接した図２１（ｃ）に示す状態となる。すなわち、ラッチ６は図１４（ａ）に示す突出位置から図１４（ｂ）に示す退入位置に、一時的に錠箱５（ラッチケース７）内に最も退入した退入位置にスライド移動する。 When the door 1 is further rotated in the direction of arrow A from the state shown in FIG. 21B, the latch 6 swings and the contact portion 31 slides with respect to the door frame 2, and the tip portion of the latch 6 is moved. The state shown in FIG. 21 (c) is in contact with the door frame 2. That is, the latch 6 slides from the protruding position shown in FIG. 14 (a) to the retracted position shown in FIG. 14 (b) and temporarily to the retracted position most retracted in the lock box 5 (latch case 7). To do.

ラッチ６が突出位置から退入位置に移動すると、押圧部材８及びラッチ側支持部材１０も反ラッチ側支持部材１１側へ移動してばね９が圧縮され、ばね９の付勢力は反ラッチ側支持部材１１とラッチ側支持部材１０に作用する。反ラッチ側支持部材１１はラッチケース７と一体であり、ラッチケース７に対して相対移動しないが、ラッチ側支持部材１０はラッチケース７に固定されておらず、ラッチ側支持部材１０はラッチ６及び押圧部材８と共にラッチケース７に対して相対移動することができる。押圧部材８は、錠箱５の仕切部５ｂに設けられた孔５０ａ（図２）を貫通し、退入側へ移動する。 When the latch 6 moves from the protruding position to the retracting position, the pressing member 8 and the latch side support member 10 also move to the anti-latch side support member 11 side, the spring 9 is compressed, and the urging force of the spring 9 is the anti-latch side support. It acts on the member 11 and the latch side support member 10. The anti-latch side support member 11 is integrated with the latch case 7 and does not move relative to the latch case 7, but the latch side support member 10 is not fixed to the latch case 7, and the latch side support member 10 is the latch 6 And can move relative to the latch case 7 together with the pressing member 8. The pressing member 8 penetrates the hole 50a (FIG. 2) provided in the partition portion 5b of the lock box 5 and moves to the entry / exit side.

本実施形態では、ラッチ６は、ばね９の付勢力に抗して反ラッチ側支持部材１１に近づくように、突出する向き（突出方向）とは逆の退入する向きにスライド移動する。ラッチ６がスライド移動する方向は、押圧部材８の本体部８ａの軸芯方向（長手方向）である。 In the present embodiment, the latch 6 slides in the retracting direction opposite to the projecting direction (protruding direction) so as to approach the anti-latch side support member 11 against the urging force of the spring 9. The direction in which the latch 6 slides is the axial center direction (longitudinal direction) of the main body 8a of the pressing member 8.

図２１（ｃ）に示す様に、ラッチ６が退入位置に移動すると、ラッチ６は揺動して傾斜面部３５ａ、３５ｂがラッチケース７の側面壁部２６ａ（内面）に当接し、ラッチ６の揺動が停止する。 As shown in FIG. 21 (c), when the latch 6 moves to the retracted position, the latch 6 swings and the inclined surface portions 35a and 35b abut on the side wall portion 26a (inner surface) of the latch case 7, and the latch 6 Swing stops.

図２１（ｃ）に示す状態から扉１が矢印Ａ方向にさらに回動すると、図２２（ａ）に示す様に、ラッチ６が扉枠２から外れ、ラッチ６はばね９（付勢部材）の付勢力によって突出方向にスライド移動し、起立壁部３２がラッチケース７の縁３９に当接すると共に、直交面部４４ａ、４４ｂがラッチケース７の側面壁部２６ｂ（内面）に当接する。従来のラッチでは、このときに衝突音が生じる。ところが、本実施形態のラッチ錠３ではラッチ６が後述の理由によってゆっくりと動作し、衝突音の発生は抑制される。 When the door 1 further rotates in the direction of arrow A from the state shown in FIG. 21 (c), the latch 6 is disengaged from the door frame 2 and the latch 6 is a spring 9 (urging member) as shown in FIG. 22 (a). The upright wall portion 32 abuts on the edge 39 of the latch case 7, and the orthogonal surface portions 44a and 44b abut on the side wall portions 26b (inner surface) of the latch case 7. With a conventional latch, a collision noise is generated at this time. However, in the latch lock 3 of the present embodiment, the latch 6 operates slowly for the reason described later, and the generation of the collision sound is suppressed.

衝突音の発生が抑制される理由とは以下の通りである。 The reason why the generation of the collision sound is suppressed is as follows.

図１４（ｃ）に示す様に、押圧部材８の本体部８ａの螺旋状の溝１４ａ、１４ｂ（ガイドライン）には反ラッチ側支持部材１１の突起部２３ａ、２３ｂ（係合部）が係合しており、反ラッチ側支持部材１１はラッチケース７と一体である。
そのため、ラッチ６が本体部８ａの軸芯方向（長手方向）に移動する際には、螺旋状の溝１４ａ、１４ｂが突起部２３ａ、２３ｂから抵抗を受け、押圧部材８がこの抵抗（反力）によって回転する。換言すると、突起部２３ａ、２３ｂ（係合部）が螺旋状の溝１４ａ、１４ｂ（ガイドライン）に沿って相対移動し、押圧部材８が回転しながら直線移動する。
すなわち、ラッチ６が本体部８ａの軸芯方向（長手方向）に移動する際、押圧部材８は直線移動すると共に回転する。 As shown in FIG. 14 (c), the protrusions 23a and 23b (engagement portion) of the anti-latch side support member 11 are engaged with the spiral grooves 14a and 14b (guidelines) of the main body portion 8a of the pressing member 8. The anti-latch side support member 11 is integrated with the latch case 7.
Therefore, when the latch 6 moves in the axial direction (longitudinal direction) of the main body 8a, the spiral grooves 14a and 14b receive resistance from the protrusions 23a and 23b, and the pressing member 8 receives this resistance (reaction force). ). In other words, the protrusions 23a and 23b (engagement portions) move relative to each other along the spiral grooves 14a and 14b (guidelines), and the pressing member 8 moves linearly while rotating.
That is, when the latch 6 moves in the axial center direction (longitudinal direction) of the main body 8a, the pressing member 8 moves linearly and rotates.

そして、突起部２３ａ、２３ｂが溝１４ａ、１４ｂに沿って移動し、この移動距離がラッチ６の突出・退入方向の移動距離よりも長いため、押圧部材８の移動速度が遅くなる。
また、突起部２３ａ、２３ｂと溝１４ａ、１４ｂの間に摩擦力が生じ、この摩擦力がばね９の付勢力に抗するため、押圧部材８の移動速度は抑制される。すなわち、押圧部材８と一体に突出位置へ移動するラッチ６の移動速度が抑制され、ラッチ６は比較的ゆっくりと退入位置から突出位置へ移動する。 Then, the protrusions 23a and 23b move along the grooves 14a and 14b, and the moving distance is longer than the moving distance in the protruding / retracting direction of the latch 6, so that the moving speed of the pressing member 8 becomes slower.
Further, a frictional force is generated between the protrusions 23a and 23b and the grooves 14a and 14b, and the frictional force resists the urging force of the spring 9, so that the moving speed of the pressing member 8 is suppressed. That is, the moving speed of the latch 6 that moves to the protruding position integrally with the pressing member 8 is suppressed, and the latch 6 moves from the retracting position to the protruding position relatively slowly.

そのため、突出時における、起立壁部３２がラッチケース７の縁３９に衝突する際の衝突音、及び、直交面部４４ａ、４４ｂがラッチケース７の側面壁部２６ｂに衝突する際の衝突音が抑制される。 Therefore, the collision sound when the upright wall portion 32 collides with the edge 39 of the latch case 7 and the collision sound when the orthogonal surface portions 44a and 44b collide with the side wall portion 26b of the latch case 7 at the time of protrusion are suppressed. Will be done.

また、ラッチ６（被押圧部６ａの側面部６ｂ）と、ラッチ側支持部材１０（正面壁部１５）は、押圧部材８のフランジ部８ｂと当接しており、押圧部材８が回転すると、押圧部材８とラッチ６の間、及び押圧部材８とラッチ側支持部材１０の間でも摩擦力が発生する。この摩擦力もばね９の付勢力に抗するため、ラッチ６の突出位置への移動速度は抑制される。 Further, the latch 6 (side surface portion 6b of the pressed portion 6a) and the latch side support member 10 (front wall portion 15) are in contact with the flange portion 8b of the pressing member 8, and when the pressing member 8 rotates, the latch 6 is pressed. Friction force is also generated between the member 8 and the latch 6 and between the pressing member 8 and the latch side support member 10. Since this frictional force also resists the urging force of the spring 9, the moving speed of the latch 6 to the protruding position is suppressed.

突起部２３ａ、２３ｂは、押圧部材８の本体部８ａの両側から２条の各溝１４ａ、１４ｂに係合しているため、押圧部材８が移動する際に、押圧部材８にはバランスよくばね９の付勢力に抗する摩擦力が発生する。すなわち、押圧部材８は、水平姿勢を保ったまま
突出位置から退入位置へ、又は退入位置から突出位置へ回転しながら移動する。 Since the protrusions 23a and 23b are engaged with the two grooves 14a and 14b from both sides of the main body 8a of the pressing member 8, when the pressing member 8 moves, the pressing member 8 has a well-balanced spring. A frictional force that opposes the urging force of 9 is generated. That is, the pressing member 8 moves while maintaining the horizontal posture while rotating from the protruding position to the retracting position or from the retracting position to the protruding position.

次に、開いた扉１を閉じる際には、ラッチ６は図２２（ａ）〜図２２（ｃ）に示す様に動作する。 Next, when closing the opened door 1, the latch 6 operates as shown in FIGS. 22 (a) to 22 (c).

開いた扉１を矢印Ｂ方向に回動させて閉じると、図２２（ａ）に示す様に、ラッチ６の閉時当接部３１ｂが扉枠２に当接する。
図２２（ａ）に示す状態から扉１を矢印Ｂ方向に回動させると、図２２（ｂ）に示す様に、ラッチ６はばね９の付勢力に抗して退入位置へスライド移動する。すなわち、ラッチ６は反転することなくスライド移動するのみであり、ラッチケース７のいずれの部位とも衝突しない。さらに図２２（ｃ）に示す様に、扉１が矢印Ｂ方向に回動すると、ラッチ６は受け部２ａに対向し、突出方向にスライド移動して受け部２ａに嵌まり込む。その際、ラッチ６は突出方向にゆっくりと移動し、起立壁部３２が縁３９にゆっくりと当接する。 When the opened door 1 is rotated in the direction of arrow B to close it, the closing contact portion 31b of the latch 6 comes into contact with the door frame 2 as shown in FIG. 22A.
When the door 1 is rotated in the direction of arrow B from the state shown in FIG. 22 (a), the latch 6 slides to the retracted position against the urging force of the spring 9 as shown in FIG. 22 (b). .. That is, the latch 6 only slides without reversing and does not collide with any part of the latch case 7. Further, as shown in FIG. 22C, when the door 1 rotates in the direction of arrow B, the latch 6 faces the receiving portion 2a, slides in the protruding direction, and fits into the receiving portion 2a. At that time, the latch 6 slowly moves in the protruding direction, and the upright wall portion 32 slowly abuts on the edge 39.

すなわち、ラッチ６が受け部２ａの位置に対向すると、扉枠２からの押圧力がなくなる。そのため、ラッチ６はばね９の付勢力によって突出方向にスライド移動し、起立壁部３２がラッチケース７の縁３９に当接する。このときもラッチ６はゆっくりと突出方向にスライド移動するので、起立壁部３２は縁３９にゆっくりと当接し、衝突音の発生は抑制される。 That is, when the latch 6 faces the position of the receiving portion 2a, the pressing force from the door frame 2 is eliminated. Therefore, the latch 6 slides in the protruding direction by the urging force of the spring 9, and the upright wall portion 32 comes into contact with the edge 39 of the latch case 7. At this time as well, since the latch 6 slowly slides in the projecting direction, the upright wall portion 32 slowly abuts on the edge 39, and the generation of collision noise is suppressed.

そして、揺動防止部材５１の係合片５２が係合溝３０ａと係合し、ラッチ６は揺動不能な状態となる。 Then, the engaging piece 52 of the rocking prevention member 51 engages with the engaging groove 30a, and the latch 6 is in a non-swinging state.

ここで、ラッチ側支持部材１０は、ラッチケース７に対して水平方向にのみ移動可能であり、ラッチ６の被押圧部６ａに配置されており、ラッチ側支持部材１０の天面壁部１７と底面壁部１８が、ラッチ６の上面部６ｃと下面部６ｄに当接しているだけである。そのため、押圧部材８が回転してもラッチ側支持部材１０は回転しない。
また、ラッチ側支持部材１０の側面壁部１６ａ、１６ｂが、ラッチケース７の側面壁部２６ａ、２６ｂの内面に近接対向しており、ラッチ側支持部材１０が押圧部材８の回転に追従して回転（揺動）しようとしてもラッチケース７に当接し、回転（揺動）は阻止される。
さらに、ラッチ側支持部材１０は、ラッチ６を突出方向に押圧するのみであり、ラッチ６を退入方向に牽引することはできない。 Here, the latch-side support member 10 is movable only in the horizontal direction with respect to the latch case 7, and is arranged on the pressed portion 6a of the latch 6, and is arranged on the top wall portion 17 and the bottom surface of the latch-side support member 10. The wall portion 18 only abuts on the upper surface portion 6c and the lower surface portion 6d of the latch 6. Therefore, even if the pressing member 8 rotates, the latch side support member 10 does not rotate.
Further, the side wall portions 16a and 16b of the latch side support member 10 are close to each other on the inner surfaces of the side wall portions 26a and 26b of the latch case 7, and the latch side support member 10 follows the rotation of the pressing member 8. Even if it tries to rotate (swing), it comes into contact with the latch case 7, and the rotation (swing) is prevented.
Further, the latch side support member 10 only presses the latch 6 in the protruding direction, and cannot pull the latch 6 in the retracting direction.

図１４（ａ）に示す様に、ラッチ６がラッチケース７（収容部材）又は錠箱５から最も突出する位置がラッチ６の突出位置であり、図１４（ｂ）に示す様に、ラッチ６がラッチケース７（収容部材）内又は錠箱５内に最も退入する位置がラッチ６の退入位置である。すなわち、図１４（ｂ）では、ラッチ６の一部がラッチケース７又は錠箱５から突出しているが、その突出量は図１４（ａ）に示す突出位置におけるラッチ６の突出量よりは少ない。
退入位置におけるラッチ６の突出量は、扉枠２と図１に示す扉１（すなわち、ラッチケース７又は錠箱５）のクリアランス（隙間）と略一致している。 As shown in FIG. 14 (a), the position where the latch 6 protrudes most from the latch case 7 (accommodating member) or the lock box 5 is the protruding position of the latch 6, and as shown in FIG. 14 (b), the latch 6 The most retractable position in the latch case 7 (accommodating member) or the lock box 5 is the retractable position of the latch 6. That is, in FIG. 14 (b), a part of the latch 6 protrudes from the latch case 7 or the lock box 5, but the protruding amount is smaller than the protruding amount of the latch 6 at the protruding position shown in FIG. 14 (a). ..
The amount of protrusion of the latch 6 at the retracting position substantially coincides with the clearance (gap) between the door frame 2 and the door 1 (that is, the latch case 7 or the lock box 5) shown in FIG.

上述の第一実施形態では、反ラッチ側支持部材１１に螺旋状の溝１４ａ、１４ｂに係合する突起部２３ａ、２３ｂを設けた例を示したが、突起部２３ａ、２３ｂは、ラッチケース７や、錠箱５（仕切部５ｂ）等の押圧部材８と相対移動する部位に設けてもよい。すなわち、錠箱５の仕切部５ｂを、ラッチ６を保持する保持部として機能させることも可能である。
また、螺旋状の溝（１４ａ、１４ｂ）は、必ずしも２条（２つ）である必要はなく、１条（１つ）又は３条（３つ）以上であってもよい。
さらに、螺旋状の溝１４ａ、１４ｂの代わりに、押圧部材８の本体部８ａには螺旋状の突条を設け、この突条に係合するコの字形の係合部をラッチケース７や錠箱５等の固定側に設けてもよい。 In the first embodiment described above, the anti-latch side support member 11 is provided with the protrusions 23a and 23b that engage with the spiral grooves 14a and 14b, but the protrusions 23a and 23b are the latch cases 7. Alternatively, it may be provided at a portion that moves relative to the pressing member 8 such as the lock box 5 (partition portion 5b). That is, it is also possible to make the partition portion 5b of the lock box 5 function as a holding portion for holding the latch 6.
Further, the spiral grooves (14a, 14b) do not necessarily have to be two (two), and may be one (one) or three (three) or more.
Further, instead of the spiral grooves 14a and 14b, a spiral ridge is provided in the main body 8a of the pressing member 8, and a U-shaped engaging portion that engages with the ridge is provided as a latch case 7 or a lock. It may be provided on the fixed side of the box 5 or the like.

ラッチケース７は独立したユニットを構成しており、錠箱５の収容部５ａ（図３）に天地逆向きに装着することもできる。この場合には、揺動防止部材５１の係合片５２は、ラッチケース７の天面壁部２７の切欠部２９を介して、ラッチ６の底部側の係合部３０の係合溝３０ａと係合する。
また、本発明は、反転しないラッチであっても実施可能である。 The latch case 7 constitutes an independent unit, and can be mounted upside down on the accommodating portion 5a (FIG. 3) of the lock box 5. In this case, the engaging piece 52 of the rocking prevention member 51 engages with the engaging groove 30a of the engaging portion 30 on the bottom side of the latch 6 via the notch 29 of the top wall portion 27 of the latch case 7. It fits.
Further, the present invention can be carried out even with a latch that does not reverse.

次に図１５乃至図２０を参照しながら本発明の第二実施形態について説明する。
図１５に示すラッチユニット３４は、図１に示すラッチユニット４と同様に錠箱５に装着され、ラッチ錠３３として使用されるものである。 Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 to 20.
The latch unit 34 shown in FIG. 15 is mounted on the lock box 5 in the same manner as the latch unit 4 shown in FIG. 1 and is used as the latch lock 33.

以下、ラッチ錠３３の特徴的な構成であるラッチユニット３４について説明する。
ラッチユニット３４は、図１５乃至図１９に示す様に、ラッチ６、ラッチケース３７、押圧部材４０、支持部材４１、ばね９等を有する。 Hereinafter, the latch unit 34, which is a characteristic configuration of the latch lock 33, will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 15 to 19, the latch unit 34 includes a latch 6, a latch case 37, a pressing member 40, a support member 41, a spring 9, and the like.

ラッチ６は、図１２に示す第一実施形態で採用されたものと同様のものである。 The latch 6 is the same as that adopted in the first embodiment shown in FIG.

図１６に示すラッチケース３７は、図４等に示す第一実施形態のラッチケース７と同様の外形を有しているが、側面壁部４６ａに長孔４５（ガイドライン）が設けられている点がラッチケース７と相違している。長孔４５は、側面壁部４６ａを正面視して略Ｗ字形を呈すると共に側面壁部４６ａを貫通する孔である。すなわち、長孔４５は、図１５（ａ）、図１５（ｂ）に示す様に、ラッチ６の突出又は退入する方向に対してジグザグ状に傾斜して連続する孔である。 The latch case 37 shown in FIG. 16 has the same outer shape as the latch case 7 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 4 and the like, but the side wall portion 46a is provided with an elongated hole 45 (guideline). Is different from the latch case 7. The elongated hole 45 is a hole that has a substantially W shape when the side wall portion 46a is viewed from the front and penetrates the side wall portion 46a. That is, as shown in FIGS. 15 (a) and 15 (b), the elongated hole 45 is a continuous hole that is inclined in a zigzag shape with respect to the direction in which the latch 6 protrudes or retracts.

図１７乃至図１９に示す様に、押圧部材４０は、正面壁部５５、側面壁部５６ａ、５６ｂ、天面壁部５７、底面壁部５８を有し、背面側が開放された略直方体の外形を呈する箱状部４０ａと、真っ直ぐな棒状の軸部３８を有している。軸部３８は、図２０に示す様に、正面壁部５５に一体化されている。 As shown in FIGS. 17 to 19, the pressing member 40 has a front wall portion 55, side wall portions 56a and 56b, a top wall portion 57, and a bottom wall portion 58, and has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped outer shape with the back side open. It has a box-shaped portion 40a to be presented and a straight rod-shaped shaft portion 38. As shown in FIG. 20, the shaft portion 38 is integrated with the front wall portion 55.

すなわち、箱状部４０ａの外形は、第一実施形態におけるラッチ側支持部材１０の様な略直方体形状を呈しており、軸部３８は押圧部材８の本体部８ａの様な棒状を呈しており、両者は一体化されている。換言すると、押圧部材４０は、第一実施形態におけるラッチ側支持部材１０と押圧部材８とが一体化された様な構造を有している。 That is, the outer shape of the box-shaped portion 40a has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape like the latch-side support member 10 in the first embodiment, and the shaft portion 38 has a rod shape like the main body portion 8a of the pressing member 8. , Both are integrated. In other words, the pressing member 40 has a structure in which the latch-side supporting member 10 and the pressing member 8 in the first embodiment are integrated.

押圧部材４０の箱状部４０ａは突出側から退入側にのびる幅（長さ）を有しており、図２０に示す様に、軸部３８の一端は箱状部４０ａの内部にあって正面壁部５５に一体固着されており、軸部３８の他端は、箱状部４０ａの外側へ突出している。軸部３８には、第一実施形態の押圧部材８の本体部８ａの様な螺旋状の溝１４ａ、１４ｂ（図９）は設けられていない。 The box-shaped portion 40a of the pressing member 40 has a width (length) extending from the protruding side to the retracting side, and as shown in FIG. 20, one end of the shaft portion 38 is inside the box-shaped portion 40a. It is integrally fixed to the front wall portion 55, and the other end of the shaft portion 38 projects to the outside of the box-shaped portion 40a. The shaft portion 38 is not provided with spiral grooves 14a and 14b (FIG. 9) like the main body portion 8a of the pressing member 8 of the first embodiment.

側面壁部５６ａには、図１７乃至図１９に示す様に、下側傾斜段部５９と上側傾斜段部６０が設けられている。下側傾斜段部５９は、側面壁部５６ａの下部側であって、退入側から突出側へいくほど低くなる様に傾斜した段を構成している。上側傾斜段部６０は、側面壁部５６ａの上部側であって、退入側から突出側へいくほど高くなる様に傾斜した段を構成している。すなわち、側面壁部５６ａの下部側と上部側には側面壁部５６ａの肉厚が厚い部位があり、側面壁部５６ａの中央部分には肉厚が薄い部位があり、側面壁部５６ａは中央部分が凹んだ様な構造を呈している。換言すると、側面壁部５６ａの中央部分には、退入側から突出側へいくほど高さ方向の幅が大きくなる凹みがある。この凹みは扇状に拡がっており、扇状の根元部分（退入側の端部付近）には支持軸部６１が設けられている。支持軸部６１は、側面壁部５６ａの厚み方向に突出する突起状の部位である。 As shown in FIGS. 17 to 19, the side wall portion 56a is provided with a lower inclined step portion 59 and an upper inclined step portion 60. The lower inclined step portion 59 is on the lower side of the side wall portion 56a, and constitutes a step that is inclined so as to be lowered from the entry side to the protruding side. The upper inclined step portion 60 is on the upper side of the side wall portion 56a, and constitutes a step that is inclined so as to become higher from the entry side to the protruding side. That is, the lower side and the upper side of the side wall portion 56a have a thick portion of the side wall portion 56a, the central portion of the side wall portion 56a has a thin portion, and the side wall portion 56a is in the center. It has a structure in which the part is dented. In other words, the central portion of the side wall portion 56a has a dent whose width in the height direction increases from the entry side to the protrusion side. This recess extends in a fan shape, and a support shaft portion 61 is provided at a fan-shaped root portion (near the end on the retracting side). The support shaft portion 61 is a protruding portion protruding in the thickness direction of the side wall portion 56a.

下側傾斜段部５９と上側傾斜段部６０は、ラッチケース３７の側面壁部４６ａ、４６ｂの内側面と近接対向し、摺動部としても機能する。 The lower inclined step portion 59 and the upper inclined step portion 60 face each other in close proximity to the inner side surfaces of the side wall portions 46a and 46b of the latch case 37, and also function as sliding portions.

支持軸部６１には、揺動部材４２が装着されている。
揺動部材４２は、細長い板状の部材であり、一方の端部には軸孔４２ａが設けられており、他方の端部には係合突起４２ｂ（係合部）が設けられている。
軸孔４２ａの中心と係合突起４２ｂの中心は同方向を向いている。すなわち、軸孔４２ａは、揺動部材４２の厚み方向に穿設された孔であり、係合突起４２ｂは、揺動部材４２の厚み方向に突出した突起である。
揺動部材４２の幅は、側面壁部５６ａの下側傾斜段部５９と上側傾斜段部６０の間隔よりも狭く、下側傾斜段部５９と上側傾斜段部６０の間に揺動部材４２を配置することができる。
揺動部材４２の係合突起４２ｂは、側面壁部５６ａの下側傾斜段部５９及び上側傾斜段部６０よりも側面壁部５６の厚み方向外側へ突出している。 A swing member 42 is mounted on the support shaft portion 61.
The swing member 42 is an elongated plate-shaped member, and a shaft hole 42a is provided at one end thereof, and an engagement protrusion 42b (engagement portion) is provided at the other end portion.
The center of the shaft hole 42a and the center of the engaging protrusion 42b face in the same direction. That is, the shaft hole 42a is a hole formed in the thickness direction of the swing member 42, and the engagement protrusion 42b is a protrusion protruding in the thickness direction of the swing member 42.
The width of the swing member 42 is narrower than the distance between the lower inclined step portion 59 and the upper inclined step portion 60 of the side wall portion 56a, and the rocking member 42 is between the lower inclined step portion 59 and the upper inclined step portion 60. Can be placed.
The engaging projection 42b of the rocking member 42 projects outward in the thickness direction of the side wall portion 56 from the lower inclined step portion 59 and the upper inclined step portion 60 of the side wall portion 56a.

図１７、図１８に示す様に、揺動部材４２の軸孔４２ａに支持軸部６１が挿通されており、揺動部材４２は、支持軸部６１を中心に円滑に揺動可能である。すなわち、揺動部材４２は、支持軸部６１を中心に下側傾斜段部５９と上側傾斜段部６０の間で揺動することができる。すなわち、下側傾斜段部５９と上側傾斜段部６０の間の扇形の凹部は、揺動部材４２の揺動範囲を確保しており、これによって係合突起４２ｂが長孔４５に沿って移動することができるようになっている。 As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the support shaft portion 61 is inserted into the shaft hole 42a of the swing member 42, and the swing member 42 can swing smoothly around the support shaft portion 61. That is, the swing member 42 can swing around the support shaft portion 61 between the lower inclined step portion 59 and the upper inclined step portion 60. That is, the fan-shaped recess between the lower inclined step portion 59 and the upper inclined step portion 60 secures the swing range of the swing member 42, whereby the engaging projection 42b moves along the elongated hole 45. You can do it.

支持部材４１は、図９に示す第一実施形態の反ラッチ側支持部材１１と同様の構造を有しているが、孔２１に半径方向内方へ突出する突起部２３ａ、２３ｂが設けられていない点のみが相違している。支持部材４１のその他の構造は反ラッチ側支持部材１１と同様であり、反ラッチ側支持部材１１の各部と同じ符号を付し、説明を省略する。 The support member 41 has the same structure as the anti-latch side support member 11 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 9, but the holes 21 are provided with protrusions 23a and 23b protruding inward in the radial direction. The only difference is that there is nothing. Other structures of the support member 41 are the same as those of the anti-latch side support member 11, and the same reference numerals are given to the respective parts of the anti-latch side support member 11, and the description thereof will be omitted.

ばね９は、螺旋状のばねであり、第一実施形態のばね９と同じ部材である。 The spring 9 is a spiral spring and is the same member as the spring 9 of the first embodiment.

次に、ラッチユニット３４の組立構造について説明する。
ラッチケース３７内には、ラッチ６と押圧部材４０が収容されている。ラッチ６の被押圧部６ａの側面部６ｂには押圧部材４０の正面壁部５５が当接している。 Next, the assembly structure of the latch unit 34 will be described.
The latch 6 and the pressing member 40 are housed in the latch case 37. The front wall portion 55 of the pressing member 40 is in contact with the side surface portion 6b of the pressed portion 6a of the latch 6.

押圧部材４０は、ラッチケース３７内で突出方向又は退入方向にのみ往復移動可能にガイドされている。具体的には、ラッチケース３７の内側面に押圧部材４０の天面壁部５７と底面壁部５８が係合するガイドレールが設けられており、このガイドレールに沿って押圧部材４０が突出方向及び退入方向に往復移動する。
また、図１５（ａ）に示す様に、揺動部材４２の係合突起４２ｂが、ラッチケース３７の長孔４５に係合している。 The pressing member 40 is guided in the latch case 37 so as to be reciprocally movable only in the projecting direction or the retracting direction. Specifically, a guide rail is provided on the inner surface of the latch case 37 to engage the top wall portion 57 and the bottom wall portion 58 of the pressing member 40, and the pressing member 40 extends in the protruding direction and along the guide rail. Move back and forth in the retreat direction.
Further, as shown in FIG. 15A, the engaging projection 42b of the swinging member 42 is engaged with the elongated hole 45 of the latch case 37.

図２０に示す様に、押圧部材４０の軸部３８にばね９が外嵌されており、ばね９の一端は押圧部材４０の正面壁部５５の内面に当接している。また、ばね９の他端はラッチケース３７に取り付けられた支持部材４１の段部２２に当接している。 As shown in FIG. 20, a spring 9 is fitted on the shaft portion 38 of the pressing member 40, and one end of the spring 9 is in contact with the inner surface of the front wall portion 55 of the pressing member 40. Further, the other end of the spring 9 is in contact with the step portion 22 of the support member 41 attached to the latch case 37.

押圧部材４０の正面壁部５５と支持部材４１の段部２２の距離は、ばね９の自然長よりも短い。すなわち、ばね９は縮設された圧縮ばねであり、押圧部材４０を介してラッチ６を突出方向へ押圧している。 The distance between the front wall portion 55 of the pressing member 40 and the step portion 22 of the supporting member 41 is shorter than the natural length of the spring 9. That is, the spring 9 is a contracted compression spring, and presses the latch 6 in the protruding direction via the pressing member 40.

次に、ラッチ錠３３（ラッチユニット３４）の動作について説明する。
扉１（図１）に取り付けられた錠箱５のラッチ錠３３（ラッチユニット３４）は、通常は図１５（ａ）に示す様に、ラッチ６がばね９の付勢力によってラッチケース３７から突出した姿勢を保っており、ラッチ６は揺動可能である。このとき、揺動部材４２の係合突起４２ｂはラッチケース３７の長孔４５の突出側にある。 Next, the operation of the latch lock 33 (latch unit 34) will be described.
In the latch lock 33 (latch unit 34) of the lock box 5 attached to the door 1 (FIG. 1), the latch 6 normally protrudes from the latch case 37 by the urging force of the spring 9 as shown in FIG. 15 (a). The latch 6 is swingable. At this time, the engaging protrusion 42b of the swinging member 42 is on the protruding side of the elongated hole 45 of the latch case 37.

扉１を開閉し、ラッチ６が扉枠２側に押圧されるとラッチ６はばね９の付勢力に抗してラッチケース３７（錠箱５）内に揺動して退入し、図１５（ｂ）に示す状態となる。すなわち、係合突起４２ｂが長孔４５の退入側へ移動している。 When the door 1 is opened and closed and the latch 6 is pressed toward the door frame 2, the latch 6 swings in and out of the latch case 37 (lock box 5) against the urging force of the spring 9 and moves in and out of FIG. The state shown in (b) is obtained. That is, the engaging projection 42b has moved to the retracting side of the elongated hole 45.

揺動部材４２の揺動範囲は、図１７、図１８に示す下側傾斜段部５９と上側傾斜段部６０によって確保されており、揺動部材４２はこの確保された揺動範囲内で揺動することができ、係合突起４２ｂがＷ字形の長孔４５に沿って移動することができる。 The swing range of the swing member 42 is secured by the lower tilt step portion 59 and the upper tilt step portion 60 shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, and the swing member 42 swings within the secured swing range. It can be moved and the engaging projection 42b can move along the W-shaped elongated hole 45.

図２０に示す様に、ばね９は軸部３８に外嵌しているため、略真っ直ぐな姿勢を保って圧縮されている。
また、軸部３８は、支持部材４１の孔２１を貫通しており、図１５（ｂ）に示す様に、孔２１の右側（退入側）に突出している。 As shown in FIG. 20, since the spring 9 is fitted on the shaft portion 38, it is compressed while maintaining a substantially straight posture.
Further, the shaft portion 38 penetrates the hole 21 of the support member 41 and projects to the right side (entry side) of the hole 21 as shown in FIG. 15 (b).

扉１が閉じられると、ラッチ６の扉枠２側からの押圧力がなくなり、ばね９の付勢力によってラッチ６及び押圧部材４０が突出方向に移動する。その際、押圧部材４０の揺動部材４２の係合突起４２ｂがラッチケース３７の長孔４５に係合しているので、係合突起４２ｂは長孔４５に沿いながら突出側へ移動する。すなわち、揺動部材４２は、図１７、図１８に示す様に支持軸部６１を中心に揺動し、係合突起４２ｂが上下に移動しながらＷ字形の長孔４５に沿って移動する。 When the door 1 is closed, the pressing force of the latch 6 from the door frame 2 side disappears, and the latch 6 and the pressing member 40 move in the protruding direction by the urging force of the spring 9. At that time, since the engaging projection 42b of the swinging member 42 of the pressing member 40 is engaged with the elongated hole 45 of the latch case 37, the engaging projection 42b moves to the projecting side along the elongated hole 45. That is, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the swing member 42 swings around the support shaft portion 61, and the engaging projection 42b moves along the W-shaped elongated hole 45 while moving up and down.

よって、揺動部材４２の係合突起４２ｂが長孔４５に沿って移動する距離は、ラッチ及び押圧部材４０が突出側から退入側（又はその逆）に移動する距離よりも長い。そのため、ラッチ及び押圧部材４０の実質的な移動距離が長くなっており、換言すると移動速度が遅くなる。 Therefore, the distance that the engaging projection 42b of the swinging member 42 moves along the elongated hole 45 is longer than the distance that the latch and the pressing member 40 move from the protruding side to the retracting side (or vice versa). Therefore, the substantially moving distance of the latch and the pressing member 40 is long, in other words, the moving speed is slowed down.

また、係合突起４２ｂは長孔４５の縁に押し付けられながら長孔４５内を移動するため、両者の間には摩擦力が作用する。そのため、ラッチ６及び押圧部材４０の突出方向への移動速度が抑制される。よって、ラッチ６はゆっくりと図１５（ｂ）に示す退入位置から図１５（ａ）に示す突出位置に復帰する。その結果、ラッチ６が復帰することに起因する音の発生が良好に抑制される。 Further, since the engaging projection 42b moves in the elongated hole 45 while being pressed against the edge of the elongated hole 45, a frictional force acts between the two. Therefore, the moving speed of the latch 6 and the pressing member 40 in the protruding direction is suppressed. Therefore, the latch 6 slowly returns from the retracting position shown in FIG. 15B to the protruding position shown in FIG. 15A. As a result, the generation of sound caused by the return of the latch 6 is satisfactorily suppressed.

側面壁部４６ａには、長孔４５の代わりに側面壁部４６ａの内側に長孔４５と同様の略Ｗ字形を呈する溝（有底穴）を形成してもよい。また、側面壁部４６ａには、Ｗ字形状の長孔４５の代わりに、一方向にのみ傾斜（例えば、側面壁部４６ａを正面視して上側から下側へ傾斜、又は下側から上側へ傾斜）した長孔又は溝を形成してもよい。さらに、長孔４５は、Ｗ字形に限らず、Ｖ字形やＮ字形等であってもよく、直線や曲線で構成されていてもよい。 In the side wall portion 46a, instead of the elongated hole 45, a groove (bottomed hole) having a substantially W shape similar to that of the elongated hole 45 may be formed inside the side wall portion 46a. Further, instead of the W-shaped elongated hole 45, the side wall portion 46a is inclined only in one direction (for example, the side wall portion 46a is inclined from the upper side to the lower side or from the lower side to the upper side when viewed from the front. An elongated hole or groove may be formed. Further, the elongated hole 45 is not limited to the W shape, but may be V-shaped, N-shaped, or the like, and may be formed of a straight line or a curved line.

押圧部材４０の側面壁部５６ａの下側傾斜段部５９と上側傾斜段部６０の傾斜の向きを逆にして、支持軸部６１を側面壁部５６ａの突出側端部付近に設け、揺動部材４２の突出側と退入側を入れ替えてもよい。
すなわち、下側傾斜段部５９は、突出側から退入側へいくほど高さが低くなるように傾斜し、上側傾斜段部６０は、突出側から退入側へいくほど高さが高くなるように傾斜し、側面壁部５６ａの凹部が、突出側から退入側へいくほど高さ方向の幅が大きくなるように構成すると共に、揺動部材４２が、突出側を起点に退入側が下側傾斜段部５９と上側傾斜段部６０の間で上下に揺動できるようにしてもよい。 The lower inclined step portion 59 of the side wall portion 56a of the pressing member 40 and the upper inclined step portion 60 are inclined in opposite directions, and the support shaft portion 61 is provided near the protruding side end of the side wall portion 56a to swing. The protruding side and the retracting side of the member 42 may be exchanged.
That is, the lower inclined step portion 59 is inclined so that the height becomes lower from the protruding side to the retreating side, and the upper inclined step portion 60 becomes higher as it goes from the protruding side to the retreating side. The concave portion of the side wall portion 56a is configured so that the width in the height direction increases from the protruding side to the retreating side, and the swing member 42 has the retreating side starting from the protruding side. It may be possible to swing up and down between the lower inclined step portion 59 and the upper inclined step portion 60.

押圧部材４０の側面壁部５６ｂにも揺動部材４２を設け、ラッチケース３７の両側に長孔４５を設けてもよい。すなわち、ラッチ錠３３の両側に長孔４５（ガイドライン）と揺動部材４２（係合部）を設けてもよい。 The swing member 42 may also be provided on the side wall portion 56b of the pressing member 40, and elongated holes 45 may be provided on both sides of the latch case 37. That is, elongated holes 45 (guidelines) and swinging members 42 (engaging portions) may be provided on both sides of the latch lock 33.
