Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to an automobile door lock release device.
More specifically, the present invention relates to a door lock release tool for a car that can easily release the door lock from outside the car in cases where the door is locked while the car's start switch key is inserted into the start switch, or when the start switch key is lost. .

[Conventional technology]

The car door lock key usually doubles as the car's start switch key, so if you lock the car door with the key inserted in the car start switch, you will be at a loss if you don't have the duplicate key. . In such cases, you would normally ask a "key specialist" to unlock the lock.

However, ``key experts'' tend to be paid a high fee due to their special skills.

Therefore, in recent years, an automobile door lock release tool has been proposed to solve the above problem. That is, the door lock release tool has a structure in which a rod holding part for holding the rod of a car door lock is formed at the tip of a metal plate. According to this door lock release tool, by inserting it through the gap at the lower end of the glass window of the automobile door, even the door lock rod holding part formed at the tip of the tool can be inserted.
This has the advantage that the door lock can be easily released by inserting the rod and pulling it up.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, since the automobile door lock release tool having the above-mentioned structure is formed in the shape of an insert, the rod holding part and the automobile rod cannot be held together.
Engagement and lifting are insufficient and therefore
There are problems such as the effect may not be as expected.

The present invention was devised in response to the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to solve cases where the car door is locked while the start switch key is inserted into the start switch, or when the start switch key is lost. By providing a car door lock release tool that can easily release the door lock from the outside of the car, and having the release tool available at gas stations, auto repair shops, sheet metal painting shops, or privately. This eliminates the monopoly of "key experts" and allows door locks to be unlocked quickly and inexpensively.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The automobile door lock release tool as a means for achieving the above object has a band-shaped elastic plate whose tip end is curved in an arc shape, and the curved tip end is The structure includes a rod holding portion for holding the rod of an automobile door lock.

Here, in the above structure, the rod clamping part is usually provided with a rod insertion opening at the center of the tip, groove-shaped clamping parts on both left and right sides of the rod insertion opening, and groove-shaped clamping parts on both the left and right sides. Each of the holding parts is formed into a substantially U-shaped groove, and the rod insertion opening is formed into a narrow opening by V-shaped pieces on both sides.

[Effect]

If the car door is locked while the car start switch key is inserted into the start switch, the car door lock release tool of the present invention is effective. That is, the curved tip of the door lock release tool is directed toward the vehicle, and the curved tip is slightly stretched by hand against the elastic restoring force of the curved portion, and the curved tip is inserted through the gap at the lower edge of the glass window of the automobile door. Insert the band-shaped elastic plate, insert the rod into the rod-clamping part of the door lock formed at the curved tip of the band-shaped elastic plate, and lift it upward to ensure that the rod is elastically clamped by the rod-clamping part. , it acts so that the rod can be pulled up.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments embodying the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Here, FIGS. 1 to 4 show embodiments of the present invention,
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention, FIGS. 2 and 3 are explanatory diagrams, respectively, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view of another embodiment.

The door lock release tool of this embodiment uses a band-shaped elastic plate 10 which is bent 11.

That is, the distal end of the band-shaped elastic plate 10 is curved 11 in an arc shape, and the rod holding part 12 of the door lock mechanism is formed at the distal end of the curved 11.

The band-shaped elastic plate body 10 is made of spring steel with a large elastic limit. A handle 13 is provided at the rear, and the length when the band-shaped elastic plate 10 is made straight is
20cm, width 2cm, thickness 0.6mm, radius of curvature at tip 7
cm. The rod clamping part 12 is widened to a width of 3.2 cm, and has a rod insertion opening 121 at the center of the tip, groove-shaped clamping parts 122, 122 on both left and right sides of the rod insertion opening 121, and grooves on both the left and right sides. Each of the shaped clamping parts 122 is formed into a substantially U-shaped groove,
As a result, the rod insertion opening 121 is formed into a narrow opening by the V-shaped pieces 123, 123 on both sides.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained based on the above configuration.

Normally, the door locks with the car's start switch key inserted in the start switch, and if you do not have a duplicate key, you will have to call the nearest gas station and ask them to bring you the car door lock release tool of this invention. . Then, you can easily and quickly unlock the door by following the steps below.

That is, the tip of the curved part 11 of the door lock release tool is directed toward the car side, and the curved part 11 is stretched by hand so that it becomes slightly straight against the elastic restoring force of the curved part 11. The tip of the curved part 11 is attached to the upper end knob 15 of the locking mechanism rod 14 of the automobile door.
The gap between the lower end of the glass window 16 in this area (normally this gap is sealed with a rubber material 17, but since the glass window 16 is opened and closed up and down)
A thin plate material can be freely inserted and removed between the rubber member 6 and the rubber member 17. ), insert the rod 14 into the groove-shaped clamping part 122 on either the left or right side of the rod clamping part 12 formed at the tip of the curved part 11 of the belt-shaped elastic plate 10, and then tighten the rod 14. When lifted up, the groove-shaped clamping part 1 of the rod clamping part
22 securely elastically clamps the rod 14, and the rod 1
4, thereby allowing the door lock to be released from outside the vehicle.

After pulling up the rod 14, when the hand is relaxed, the elastic grip is released due to elastic restoration, and the door lock release tool can be pulled out.

In the above release operation, remove the rod 14 from outside the vehicle.
You can't see it at all, but the knob 15 on the top of the rod 14
It is possible to securely hold the object by using this as a guideline.

In the above embodiment, the rod holding portions are provided on the left and right sides, but a U-shaped groove (with a taper) in the lateral direction may be used as shown in FIG.

Incidentally, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned configuration, and it is clear that modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[Effect of idea]

As is clear from the above description, according to the automobile door lock release tool of the present invention, the tip of the band-shaped elastic plate forming the release tool is curved in an arc shape, so that the rod holding part and the rod This has the effect that the door lock of the automobile can be easily released from the outside of the automobile.

Therefore, according to the car door lock release tool of the present invention, if the door is locked while the car start switch key is inserted into the start switch, or if the start switch key is lost, the door lock can be easily released from the outside of the car. By equipping gas stations, automobile repair shops, sheet metal painting shops, or individuals with the unlocking tool, the monopoly of "key experts" can be eliminated, and door locks can be unlocked quickly and inexpensively. has.
