Abstract

The invention relates to locking devices for vehicles, preferably bicycles, and improves usability. The lock includes a housing 1, a clamping plate attached to the housing with screws 4 located inside the housing, a rotatable locking element 6 and a lever locking mechanism. The lock is mounted on the fork of the bike. In the closed position of the lock, the ends of the locking element 6 are located between the spokes of the wheel. To unlock the key, the key 13 is inserted into the key opening of the locking mechanism, manually rotates the locking element 6, set the flats 8 so that they can move the flaps 5, opening access to the connecting screws 4. 6 Il.

Description

The invention relates to locking devices for vehicles, mainly bicycles, and is used to prevent unauthorized use of bicycles.

The purpose of the invention is to improve ease of use.

Figure 1 shows the lock with the front cover removed, general view; figure 2 is the same, a top view; in Fig. 3 - section aa in FIG. 1, in the closed position of the lock; figure 4 is a section bB in figure 1, in the closed position of the lock; figure 5 is a section aa in figure 1, at the time of unlocking the lock; in Fig.6 section BB in Fig.1. in the transport position of the lock (the locking element is located in an upright position, the curtains are shifted up).

The device comprises a housing 1, equipped with a recess for placement on the fork 2 of the bicycle and a component in the form of a clamping bar 3 connected to the housing 1 by screws 4. Coaxially to the screws 4 in the housing 1 there are rectangular slots, opposite which the shutters 5 are mounted in the housing with the possibility of return translational% of vertical movement. The locking element 6 is freely installed 8 openings of the housing 1 and is provided in the middle part with a section 7 with a square cross section, and at the locations in the housing 1 of the shutters 5 - flats 8 made parallel to the plane of placement of the bent end 9 of the locking element 6. The locking mechanism is made in the form of levers 10, spring-loaded with springs 11 and placed in guides 12 with the possibility of interaction between the side surfaces and the surface of the middle section 7 of the locking element 6, and with the ends with the curbs of the key 13. On the side surfaces of the level 10 Semicircular recesses 14 are also made. The oval surfaces of the housing 1 and the pressure bar 3 in contact with the surface of the bicycle fork 2 can be provided with gaskets made of an elastic material, for example rubber, to avoid scratches.

The device operates as follows.

If the key 13 is absent in the key hole, the levers 10 interact with their lateral planes with the surface of the middle portion 7 of the locking element 6 (Fig. 3) and fix the horizontal locking element 6, the ends of which are between the spokes of the bicycle wheel (not shown). The lock is locked. In this case, the shutter 5 cannot be shifted upwards, i.e. impossible to steal a bicycle to unscrew the screws 4 and remove the lock from the fork of the bicycle (figure 4).

To unlock the lock, the key 13 is inserted into the key hole and, compressing the springs 11, slide the levers 10 down to align the recesses 14, then manually turn the locking element 6 down 90 °) and remove the key 13 (Fig. 5). Spring-loaded levers 10 occupy the initial position and fix the locking element 6 in a vertical (transport) position. The flats 8 on the locking element 6, also occupying a vertical position, provide unhindered displacement of the flaps 5 upwards (Fig.6). In the open position, the lock can be removed by the owner from the bike.

The invention improves the usability when using the lock on vehicles.

Claims (1)

Claim A locking device for a vehicle, comprising a housing, a rotatable locking element disposed therein with a bent end perpendicular to the axis of rotation, and a locking mechanism, characterized in that, in order to improve ease of use, the housing is made up of two parts connected between by itself with the possibility of a connector by connecting elements, and has slots made of water from its parts to provide access to the connecting elements, and the locking mechanism is equipped with installed in the housing opposite slots with the possibility of reciprocating movement of the shutters, while the locking element has flats made in a plane parallel to the plane of placement of its bent end, to ensure movement of the shutters when opening.
