Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily discriminate locked state or unlocked state for a lock by a method wherein letters or patterns different from each other are attached separately to a turning member and a fixed member of the lock. SOLUTION: A pattern a2 is attached to a turning member 1 of a lock while a pattern b4 is attached to a non-turning or fixed member 3 of the lock. As a key is inserted into a keyhole 7 provided at the turning member 1 and turned for locking, the pattern a2 turns concurrently. With the key extracted after locking, positions of the pattern a2 and the pattern b4 are varied as compared with positions before locking. Therefore, discrimination between the locked state and the unlocked state can be made easily only by confirming positional relation between the pattern a2 and the pattern b4.

【０００１】[0001]

【産業上の利用分野】この発明は、鍵が施錠状態か、鍵
がかかっていない状態かを一目でわかるように鍵穴の表
に付ける目印に関するものである。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mark attached to a front surface of a keyhole so that whether a key is locked or unlocked can be seen at a glance.

【０００２】[0002]

【従来の技術】従来の鍵は、施錠を行っても鍵自体には
何の変化もなく、鍵が施錠されているか見ただけではわ
からなかった。2. Description of the Related Art With conventional keys, even if the key is locked, there is no change in the key itself, and it was not possible to know just by checking whether the key is locked.

【０００３】[0003]

【発明が解決しようとする課題】従って、施錠状態か鍵
がかかっていない状態かを調べるには、ドア等の取っ手
等を動作することにより確認しなければならなかった。Therefore, in order to check whether it is in the locked state or the unlocked state, it is necessary to confirm it by operating a handle such as a door.

・鍵がかかっていない状態を区別しようとするものであ
る。その構成を図１において説明すると、（イ）鍵の回転する側の部品１に図柄ａ２を張り付け
る。（ロ）鍵の回転しない側または鍵の取り付けられている
側３に図柄ｂ４を取り付ける以上のような構成とする。In order to solve this drawback, in order to solve this drawback, characters and patterns are attached to visible portions so as to distinguish between the locked state and the unlocked state. The structure will be described with reference to FIG. 1. (a) The symbol a2 is attached to the part 1 on the rotating side of the key. (B) The design b4 is attached to the non-rotating side of the key or the side 3 to which the key is attached.

る。Next, the operation of the present invention will be described. (A) From the state shown in FIG. 1, the keyhole 7 of the component 1 on the rotating side
When the key is inserted and rotated for locking, the pattern a2 also rotates at the same time. (B) When the key is pulled out after locking, the positional relationship between the symbol a2 and the symbol b4 becomes the state of FIG. Therefore, the positional relationship between the symbols a2 and b4 is different between the locked state and the unlocked state, and it is possible to determine whether the locked state or the unlocked state is seen from a distance.

たり差し込んでかぶせても良い。EXAMPLE The purpose can be achieved even if FIG. 1 is in the locked state and FIG. 2 is in the unlocked state. Further, by combining the symbols c5 and d6 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the locked state of FIG. 3 and the unlocked state of FIG. 4 can be distinguished by whether one symbol is completed or not. . It should be noted that FIG. 3 is in the unlocked state, FIG.
May be locked. Further, the characters may be completed by combining the symbols c5 and d6. Further, it is also possible to omit the symbols b4 and d6 and make a judgment based on the positions of the symbols a2 and c5. Also, design a
b, c, and d may be written with paint or the like, and may be adhered with glue or may be inserted and covered.
