Examples are shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.

In such a door lock device, the push button 1 is formed in a key cylinder, and when the key 2 is inserted from the outside and rotated, the inner end 1a of the push button 1 stands up as shown by the two-dot chain line. It's becoming like that. As a result, pushing of the push button 1 from the outside is restricted, and opening of the folding door from the outside is restricted.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

Therefore, with conventional door lock devices, it is possible to lock the outside of the folding door by operating from the outside of the vehicle, but it is impossible to lock the outside of the folding door by operating from the inside of the vehicle. It is possible. The object of the present invention is to make this possible without making major changes to conventional door lock devices.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention provides a door lock device for a folding door of the above type, and includes an intermittent means for selectively intermittent transmission of the pushing force of the button to the operating lever between the operating lever and the push button on the inside of the folding door. It is characterized by the provision of an operating lever for operating the.

[Functions and effects of the idea]

According to this configuration, when the pushing force intermittent means is operated by the operation lever, the pushing force of the push button to the operating lever is selectively interrupted, and when the pushing force is interrupted, the rod is not engaged even if the push button is pushed. It is impossible to move it in the direction of release. Therefore, in this state, it is impossible to open the folding door from the outside of the vehicle, and the situation is the same as if it were locked from the inside. Furthermore, when this state is released using the operating lever, the pushing force of the push button is transmitted to the operating lever, and the lever can be rotated to move the rod in the unlatching direction. Therefore, in this state, it is possible to open the folding door from the outside of the vehicle.

In addition, this configuration is based on a conventional door lock device and has a push force disconnection means and an operating lever for operating the same means, so that it can be implemented without making any major changes to the lock device. I can do it.
