Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent any damage to each part at time of locking two gates by converting a pillar in the gate on one side with a protector, while covering a tip part of a hook being hooked on a curved piece in the gate on the other, with a cladding material. CONSTITUTION:When a side gate 13 and a rear pillar 15 both are locked, first these gates are made to come nearer to each other, and a curved piece 16 is situated in a notch 17b of a base 17. Next, a handle is pulled, moving a hook 19 to the outside of a car body, and it is hooked on the curved piece 16. At this time, damage due to direct contact between the hook 19 and the curved piece 16 is prevented by a cladding material 21 installed in a tip part 19b of the hook 19. Successively a tip part 17a of the base 17 is pressed to the side of the rear pillar 15 by the tip part of the hook 19 being moved along the curved piece 16, and is contacted with the rear pillar 15 via a protector 20. At this time, a direct contact between the tip part 17a of the base 17 and the rear pillar 15 is eliminated, thus any possible mutual damage is prevented from occurring.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] a. Industrial application field The present invention relates to a gate lock structure for a vehicle.

b. Prior art FIG. 12 shows a conventional vehicle gate ivy structure.

This gate lock structure has a curved piece 4 protruding rearward from a rear pillar 3 of a side gate 2 of a vehicle 1 such as a truck, and a base 6 having a notch 6b at its tip 6a is directly fixed to the rear gate 5. , a handle 7 is rotatably supported on the base, and a substantially U-shaped hook 8 is attached to the handle.
It has a structure in which it is rotatably supported.

By this, by hanging the hook 8 on the curved piece 4 while keeping it located in the notch 6b of the base 6,
The side gate 2 and rear gate 5 are locked together.

A rubber cushion 1@ is provided on the side pillar 9 of the rear gate 5 so that when the side gate 2 and the rear gate 5 are locked, they will not come into contact with each other and cause damage.

C0 Problem to be Solved by the Invention By the way, in the conventional gate locking structure as described above, when the side gate 2 and the rear gate 5 are locked together, the tip 6a of the base 6 hits the rear biller 3 of the side gate 2. The curved piece 4 and the hook 8 would scratch each other and cause damage to the paint film when they came into contact with each other.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gate lock structure for a vehicle that can prevent the occurrence of rust.

d. Means for Solving the Problems In the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, a curved piece is provided protruding from the gate pillar of one gate, and a base having a notch at the tip is provided for the other gate. A handle is rotatably supported on the base, and a substantially U-shaped hook is rotatably supported on the handle, so that the curved piece is positioned in the notch of the base. In a vehicle gate lock structure in which both gates are locked to each other by hooking the hook to the curved piece, a resin protector having a hole passing through the curved piece is fitted to the gate pillar of one of the gates. At the same time,
The tip of the hook is covered with a resin covering material.

e. Example Hereinafter, an example of the gate lock structure for a vehicle according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 to 11 show an embodiment of the present invention.

The gate lock structure of this embodiment is applied to a vehicle 11 such as a truck.
The side gate 13 that forms the loading platform 12. 13 and the rear gate 14, a curved piece 16 is provided rearwardly protruding from the rear villa 15 of the side gate 13, and a base 17 has a notch 1.7b at the tip 17a.
is directly fixed to the rear gate 14, and a gate lock handle 18 is rotatably supported by a pair of support pieces 17c, 17c provided in the center of the base, and a substantially U-shaped hook 19 is attached to the handle at both ends thereof. 19a and 19a are rotatably supported.

Here, the curved piece 16 is arranged so as to be curved toward the outside of the vehicle 11.

Further, the notch 17b is formed to be open in the front of the base 17, that is, on the side of the vehicle 11.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the hole 20 through which the curved piece 16 is inserted is
a, and locking claws 20b at both ends.

Resin protector 20 with a U-shaped cross section having a diameter of 20c
is used. As shown in FIG. 3, this protector 20 is fitted onto the rear villa 15 of the side gate 13 by hand. In this fitted state, as shown in particular detail in FIG.
The curved piece 16 is penetrated, and the locking claw 20b
, 20c wrap around behind the rear villa 15 and are hung on its rear ends 15a, 15b.

As a result, the protector 20 cannot be removed from the rear villa 15 unless the locking claws 20b, 20c are removed from the rear ends 15a, 15b of the rear villa 15.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the tip end 19b of the hook 19
is further covered with a resin covering material 21 after painting.

Further, in this embodiment, a protrusion 17d is formed on the tip end L7a of the base 17 so as to surround the notch 17b. The protrusions 17d are formed by extruding upward, but of course they may be formed by mounding meat. Tip part f7 of base 17
a is formed a little higher than its base 17e (see Fig. 6), so that when the side gate 13 and rear gate 14 are locked, as will be described later,
This prevents the tip from coming into contact with and damaging the rear villa 15 of the sight gauge 13.

In addition, in FIG. 2, 22 is a side pillar 23 of the rear gate to prevent the side gate 13 and rear gear 14 from coming into contact with each other and being damaged when they are locked.
It is a rubber cushion placed on the inside. Further, in FIG. 5, 17f and 17f are holes through which bolts (not shown) for fixing the base 17 to the rear gate 13 are inserted, and in FIGS. 6 and 7, 17g, 1
7g is a hole provided to support the handle 18.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained, and the configuration of this embodiment will be further clarified.

First, the side gate 13 and rear gate 15 are moved toward each other in order to lock them. Along with this, curved piece 1
6 is positioned in the notch 17b of the base 17.

At this time, as is clear from the above, the tip 17a of the base 17 does not come into direct contact with the rear biller 15.Next, pull the handle 18 toward you and attach the hook 1.
9 is moved to the outside of the vehicle 11 and hung on the curved piece 16. At this time, the coating material 21 on the tip end 19b of the hook 19 reliably prevents the hook from coming into direct contact with the curved piece 16 and damaging the paint films of each other. Further, push the handle 18 as it is to bring it into the state shown in FIG. 2. Along with this, the tip 17a of the base 17 is pushed toward the rear pillar 15 by the tip 19b of the hook 19 that is moved along the curved piece 16, and is fixed in contact with the rear villa 15 via the protector 20. Ru. At this time, the tip 17a of the base 17 does not come into direct contact with the beam capillary 15, so the paint films will not be damaged. In the state shown in FIG. 17b
Since the side gate 13 and the rear gate 15 are irremovably fixed to the curved piece 16 by the front end portion 19b of the hook 19, the side gate 13 and the rear gate 15 are in a locked state.

To release the locked state, pull the handle 18 toward you and remove the hook 19 from the curved piece 16, and the tip 17a of the base 17 will be released and the base 17 will be in the unlocked state.

f. As described in detail, according to the vehicle gate lock structure according to the present invention, the gate pillar of one gate is covered using a protector that can be fitted by hand, and the gate pillar of one gate is covered with Since the tip of the hook that is hung on the protruding curved piece is covered with a covering material, the gate pillar and the tip of the base do not scratch each other when locking both gates together. At the same time, the curved piece and the hook do not scratch each other, so that it is possible to effectively prevent the respective paint films from being damaged and causing rust.

In addition, the present invention has a structure where it is only necessary to fit the protector to the gate pillar and cover the tip of the hook, so it can be implemented with the conventional structure without any special design changes, and the manufacturing cost is reduced. This is very advantageous in that it can minimize the amount of damage.
