The vehicle lock device of the present invention comprises a combination of a vehicle lock and a holder. The vehicle lock is integrally provided with a lock main body in which a pair of arms are formed by bifurcating the body portion, and a connecting ring for connecting the tips of the respective arm portions of the lock main body, and one arm portion is provided. A hook that is hooked on the wheel is formed by being formed so as to be separable from the other arm portion and the body portion. The holder is
An attachment portion that is attached to the vehicle body, and a holding portion for holding a vehicle lock are provided, and the holding portion has both arm portions of the lock body on a support surface that follows the planar shape of the lock body of the vehicle lock. A support wall that supports the lock body from the inside and a grip wall that grips the body of the lock body from both sides are integrally formed.

In the vehicle lock device of the second aspect, the holding portion of the holder is bendable with respect to the mounting portion.

[0009]

[Operation] The holder is attached to the proper place of the vehicle body by the attaching portion. The vehicle lock removed from the vehicle is held by the holder of the holder. The lock body of the vehicle lock is supported on the support surface, both arms are supported from the inside by the support wall, and the body is gripped by the grip walls from both sides. When removing the vehicle lock from the holder, the trunk is released above the grip walls on both sides, and then both arms are released from the support state of the support walls.

In the vehicle lock device according to the second aspect of the present invention, if the holding portion is bent in accordance with the mounting angle of the mounting portion to the vehicle body, the holding portion is set in a stable posture in which the supporting surface is horizontal.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A vehicle lock device according to the present invention is shown in FIGS.
The vehicle lock 1 shown in FIG. 2 and the holder 10 shown in FIG. 1 are combined. The configuration of vehicle lock 1 has already been described, and the same description will not be repeated here.

FIG. 1 shows the appearance of the holder 10, and FIGS. 2 and 3 show the vehicle lock 1 held by the holder 10. The holder 10 is a synthetic resin molded body that integrally includes a mounting portion 11 that is mounted at a proper position on the vehicle body and a holding portion 12 that holds the vehicle lock 1.

The mounting portion 11 is provided with a pair of fitting pieces 13 and 13 facing each other, and the connecting end portion 1 is provided at the tip edge of each fitting piece 13.
4 are formed respectively. Each of the fitting pieces 13 has a cylindrical shape in a state of being abutted with each other. The fitting pieces 13 are elastically deformed and pushed open, and fitted into the pipe portion 15 of the vehicle body from both sides, and the connecting end portions 14, 14 are screwed together. The mounting portion 11 is fixed by tightening with 16.

The holding portion 12 is flexibly connected to the mounting portion 11 via a connecting shaft 17, and is provided with a support surface 18 that follows the planar shape of the lock body 4 of the vehicle lock 1. The supporting surface 18 includes a bifurcated arm supporting surface 19 that supports the lower surfaces of both arms 3A and 3B, and a body supporting surface 20 that supports the lower surface of the body 2, and the arm supporting surface 19 A support wall 21 for supporting both arms 3A, 3B of the lock body 4 from the inside, and a pair of opposing gripping walls 22A for gripping the body 2 of the lock body 4 on both sides of the body support surface 20. , 2
2B are integrally formed. The support wall 21 and each of the gripping walls 22A and 22B are the arms 3A of the lock body 4,
3B and the outer shape of the body 2 are formed in a curved shape,
The tip ends of the support wall 21 and each of the gripping walls 22A and 22B project over the arm support surface 19 and the trunk support surface 20, respectively.

In the holder 10 having the above-mentioned structure, the mounting portion 11 is mounted on a proper place of the vehicle body, for example, on the pipe portion 15, and the holding portion 12 is bent in accordance with the mounting angle to the pipe portion 15 to hold the holding portion. 12 support surfaces 18
To the horizontal state.

The vehicle lock 1 removed from the vehicle is held by the holding portion 12 of the holder 10, and both arm portions 3A and 3B of the lock body 4 are on the arm supporting surface 19 of the supporting surface 18 and the trunk portion. 2 are respectively supported on the body support surface 20. At this time, both arms 3A, 3B are supported from the inside by the support wall 21 in a fitted state, and the body 2 is grasped by the gripping walls 22A, 2 from both sides.
Since the vehicle lock 1 is firmly held by the holder 10 because it is gripped at 2B, it does not fall off from the holder 10 while the vehicle is traveling.

When the vehicle lock 1 is removed from the holder 10, as shown by the chain line in FIG. 3, if the connecting ring 5 is grasped and pushed down, the body 2 is tilted and pushed up, and the gripping wall 22A, 22B is released from the gripped state and escapes upward. Then, when the vehicle lock 1 is pushed out in the opposite direction to the support wall 21, the body portion 2 is held by the grip walls 22 on both sides.
The two arms 3A and 3B are released from the restraint state by the support wall 21 while being completely slanted upward from A and 22B. In this way, the vehicle lock 1 is removed from the holder 10, and then the hook 5 of the vehicle lock 1 is opened.
Is extracted from the pipe portion 15.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, the holder is attached at a proper position on the vehicle body and the vehicle lock is held on the supporting surface of the holder. Therefore, it is not necessary to carry the vehicle lock after the removal, and the vehicle lock is lost. There is no fear of. Also, since both arms of the lock body are supported by the support walls from the inside and the body is gripped by the grips from both sides, the vehicle lock is firmly held in the holder, and the vehicle lock is held by the holder while the vehicle is running. There is no danger of falling off.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the holding portion of the holder is bendable with respect to the mounting portion, if the holding portion is bent in accordance with the mounting angle to the vehicle body, the supporting surface becomes horizontal. There is an effect that the holding portion can be set in a stable posture.
