Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a locking device for locking a sliding window of an automobile.

Generally, in automobiles, especially trucks, there is a space between the driver's seat and the cargo bed in the direction of the arrow A, as shown in Fig. 1.
Double-opening sliding windows 1 and 2 that can be slid are adopted, and these sliding windows 1 and 2 have
A locking device 3 is fixed to the driver's seat side. However, even if the conventional locking device is locked, there is a possibility that a skilled person may use clever means to unlock it from the loading platform side.

FIG. 2 shows a sectional view of a conventional sliding window lock device for an automobile. This lock device is roughly divided into a catch unit 4 attached to window 1 and a lock handle unit 5 attached to window 2. It is configured. The catch unit 4 consists of a catch main body plate 6, a mounting plate 8 for attaching the plate 6 to the sliding window 1 with screws 7, and a catch piece 9 protruding from the main body plate 6. On the other hand, the lock handle unit 5 includes a lock handle body plate 10, a mounting plate 12 for attaching this to the other sliding window 2 with screws 11, and this body plate 1.
a link 13 swingably supported at one end at 0;
It consists of a lock handle 14 rotatably supported at the other end of this link 13. An engagement piece 15 is provided on the lock handle 14 in a protruding manner. As shown in the figure, both windows 1 and 2 are locked by engaging the engaging piece 15 of the lock handle 14 with the catch piece 9 with both sliding windows 1 and 2 closed. On the other hand, by lifting the handle 14 as shown by the two-dot chain line, the engagement is disengaged and the lock is released.

However, as shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 3, a channel 16 and a weather strip 17 are attached to the ends of the sliding window. For this reason, even if the windows are closed and locked, a wire or the like can be inserted between the windows 1 and 2 from the loading platform using the elasticity of the weather strip 17 or from below. It is not impossible to release the lock by inserting this wire or the like into the gap between the lock handle 14 shown in FIG. 2 and the catch body plate 6, and lifting the lock handle 14. There are also concerns that this may be the case.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a sliding window lock device for an automobile in which there is absolutely no possibility of wires or the like entering the gap between the lock handle and the lock handle and the catch body plate. The purpose and feature of this device is that the lock handle is provided with sloped surfaces at both ends to allow the wire to slide outward.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail based on the drawings. Note that the same members as in FIG. 2 are given the same reference numerals.

As is clear from FIG. 4, the lock body plate 10 of the lock handle unit 5 is provided with a screw hole 10a for attaching it to a sliding window.
It is fixed to the sliding window as shown in FIG. 2 using screws and a mounting plate (not shown). A link 13 is attached to one end 13a of the lock handle body plate 10.
A pair of shaft support parts 18 and 19 that are swingably supported by
is installed protrudingly.

The lock handle 14 has a pair of pivot supports 22 and 23.
It is rotatably supported by the other end 13b of the link 13. Further, the lock handle 14 has protrusions 24, 25, and 26 protruding toward the lock handle body plate 10, respectively, at both ends parallel to the sliding direction A and one end perpendicular thereto. An engagement piece 15 is formed on this protrusion 26 .

Next, the catch unit 4 will be explained.

The catch body plate 6 has screw holes 6a drilled therein for attaching it to the sliding window, and is fixed to the sliding window using screws and a mounting plate (not shown) in the same manner as in FIG. 2. This catch body plate 6 has a catch piece 9 that can engage the above-mentioned engaging piece 15.
is installed protrudingly.

FIG. 5 is a sectional view of the lock handle 14 and the lock handle body plate or catch body plate along a line perpendicular to the sliding direction A. An inclined surface 29 is formed at approximately the center of the protrusions 24 and 25 of the lock handle 14, and even if a wire is inserted between the weather strips 17, this inclined surface 29
9 and slides to prevent the wire from being inserted between the lock handle 14 and the catch unit 4.

With such a configuration, for example, even if a wire or the like is inserted between the weather strips 17 of the sliding windows 1 and 2 shown in FIG. prevent intrusion. Therefore, there is no possibility that the lock device will be released from the outside.

In this example, the lock device is attached to a double-hung window, so the lock handle unit was fixed to one sliding window and the catch unit was fixed to the other sliding window. However, if the window is not a double-hung window, , attach one of both units to the sliding window and the other to the fixed member.

As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, the lock handle and the catch plate body are provided with protruding portions that overlap each other or come close to each other, so that wires, etc. This has the advantage that it does not intrude into the gap between them.
