When closed, the cancel pushed end surface 45d rises and the cancel end 43c of the cancel lever 43 can no longer be engaged, and the locked state is continuously maintained. That is, keyless locking is performed without using a key plate.

When the striker B1 enters the striker entry groove 34 when the door A is closed, the end of the striker B1 comes into contact with the receiving surface 26a of the wedge 26, and the striker B1 enters and stops while moving the wedge 26. is restrained in the vertical direction by the wedge 26, thereby suppressing wobbling.

In the door lock device 1, the engaging mechanism section 20 and the operating mechanism section 40 are separable, so that the specifications can be varied in various ways by changing the structure of each and combining them. An example of such a device will be explained with reference to FIG.

What is shown in FIG. 20 is a device in which a second inside lever 59 is provided in place of the first inside lever 41 in the operation mechanism section 40. As shown in FIG. The second inside lever 59 is shown in phantom lines in FIGS. 2 and 9, and has a lock release end 59a extending in the radial direction.
is engaged with the pivot pin 45a of the sub-lever 45,
One end of the biasing spring 48 is engaged with the biased end 59b, and an operated end 59c is provided at a position offset from the operated end 41d of the first inside lever 41. As shown in the imaginary line in FIG. 4, the operating cable 42 is wound from the opposite direction to the operated end 59c.
The engaging piece 65 can be engaged from the opposite direction to that described above.

In the door lock device 1 equipped with the operation mechanism section 40 having the second inside lever 59 shown in FIG. Since the sub-lever 45 is actuated via the sub-lever 45, the unlocking operation is performed via the sub-lever 45, and the cancel lever 43 is not rotated. The lock lever 44 is never reversed to the unlocked state. Such a door lock device 1 is generally used for a rear door.

Note that although the pivot parts 50a, 50b, 50c and the pivot portion 36 are locked by a locking member 46, the locking method is merely an example, and other well-known structures may be used. Not even. Further, in the click mechanism provided between the lock/unlock lever 44 and the operating lock body 50, the engaging member 47 is provided with an engaging end 47e, and the operating lock body 50 is provided with an engaging end 47e.
7 is provided, but the cam portion may be provided on the engagement member and the engagement member may be reversed, and the engagement direction may be either inward or outward in the radial direction.

Further, the base plate 10, the meshing mechanism section 20, and the meshing lock body 30 can be combined with each other as appropriate, and it is not necessary to directly combine the meshing mechanism section 20 and the meshing lock body 30.

"Effects of the Invention" According to the automobile door lock device according to the present invention, the engagement member attached to the swing lever and the lock body are provided with an engagement end on one side and a cam portion on the other, so that a turnover spring is generated. The swing lever is restrained in a predetermined position with a light force without being affected by the lever, and the click motion allows it to operate with a slightly stronger force, making assembly easier and allowing the restraint force of the click motion to be set appropriately. Therefore, it is easy to adjust the operating load, and the door lock device is extremely superior in terms of assembly, operation, and quality.
