[Problems to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional device as described above, there is a problem that the internal mechanism is complicated and large in size, and in particular, the width in the horizontal direction and the thickness in the vertical direction are large.

Further, in the conventional device, when the manual knob is released, the operating rod is completely free to rotate in an undesired direction due to its own weight, or the resistance force is too low when the operating rod is rotated, so that the operation lever is operated instead. There was a problem such as poor performance.

In view of the above-mentioned problems of the conventional technique, the present invention improves the operability of the operating rod, simplifies the structure, and makes it possible to manufacture the locking device for an automobile at a low cost. Is intended to provide.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a pair of lock pins for engaging with a vehicle body at both ends of an opening / closing body so as to be retractable, and an operating rod pivotally attached to the opening / closing body with a pivot shaft.
By rotating the lock rod by a required angle, the operating rod and the lock pins are linked to each other so that both the locking pins are projected and retracted in synchronization with each other, and the operating rod is engaged with the opening / closing body by the operating rod. In a locking device for an automobile opening / closing body, which is provided with a locking device that can prevent the rotation of the operating rod, the operating rod and the opening / closing body-side base plate on which the operating rod is pivotally mounted are bored, and A cam groove having an engaging groove formed in at least one end of a guide groove oriented in a circumferential direction centered on the pivot of the operating rod or a direction slightly inclined thereto, and a pivot of the operating rod. A guide pin which is provided between the base plate and the opening / closing body so as to be movable relative to and away from the base plate, and which is slidably fitted in the cam groove, and biases the guide pin in a direction approaching the pivot of the operating rod. The urging means and the guide pin are connected to the operating rod. It is characterized in having an operation means for perspective move that constitute the locking device with respect to the axis.

In carrying out, by disposing the pivot of the operating rod and the locking device substantially on a straight line connecting both lock pins, the operating means of the locking device is relatively moved in the direction along the straight line. , It is preferable that the guide pin is moved far and near with respect to the pivot of the operating rod.

[Operation] In the lock device for an automobile opening / closing body of the present invention, both lock pins are opened and closed by rotating the operating rod by a required angle in a state where the locking device is relatively disengaged from the operating rod. You can make them appear and disappear in sync with each other from both ends.
As a result, it is possible to lock the opening / closing body in a state where the opening / closing body is mounted on the vehicle body, or to release the lock for opening the vehicle body from the vehicle body.

When the locking device is engaged with the operating rod, rotation of the operating rod is prevented, and the operating rod may inadvertently collide with a human body or another object,
