Return to Figure 2. A key cylinder 30 is provided on the cover member 26 of the handle 20. The key cylinder 30 can restrict the rotation of the handle 20. When the key cylinder 30 rotates the handle 20 from the closed state to the open direction in the key locked state, the contact portion 30a hits the stopper 37 and restricts the rotation of the handle 20. The key cylinder 30 is positioned so that the contact portion 30a does not hit the stopper 37 in the key lock released state, and does not restrict the rotation of the handle 20.

Since the key cylinder 30 is provided on the cover member 26, when the cover member 26 is removed from the handle main body 28, both are removed from the handle main body 28. For example, if the user loses the key of the key cylinder 30, the key cylinder 30 may be replaced. However, the key cylinder 30 can be easily replaced by removing the cover member 26.

FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the removal work of the cover member 26. In order to slide the cover member 26 with respect to the handle main body 28, the user rotates the handle 20 in the opening direction and pulls it out to expose the opening 66. The opening 66 is located on the side surface of the handle 20 and is not exposed unless the handle 20 is rotated in the opening direction. Therefore, the key cylinder 30 is configured not to be removed in the key lock state. The user inserts the tool 74 into the exposed opening 66 and slides the cover member 26.

FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the operation of sliding the cover member 26. As shown in FIG. 6A, the opening 66 and the hole 50 are both semicircular, and the arc portion of the opening 66 is located on one end side, and the arc portion of the hole 50 is located on the other end side. The string side parts overlap to form a linear gap. As described above, the opening 66 communicates with the hole 50 formed in the handle main body 28 in the fitted state. As a result, the tip of the flat-blade screwdriver can be inserted into the opening 66 as the tool 74 and can enter the hole 50.

When the tool 74 rotates around the axis, the area where the opening 66 and the hole 50 overlap is increased by being guided by the arc portion of the opening 66 and the hole 50, and the cover member 26 slides relative to the handle body 28.

FIG. 7 is a view for explaining the cover member 26 that slides with respect to the handle main body 28. In Fig.7 (a), the 1st insertion part 52a is inserted and fitted in the 1st fitting part 68a, and the 2nd insertion part 52b is inserted and fitted in the 2nd fitting part 68b. ing.

When the handle 20 is rotated in the opening direction with the cover member 26 shown in FIG. 7A fitted to the handle body 28, the cover member 26 receives a force in a direction away from the handle body 28. 68 restricts the movement of the cover member 26 away from the handle body 28. Thereby, even if the handle 20 is operated, the cover member 26 and the handle body 28 are maintained integrally.

1st fitting part 68a and 2nd fitting part 68b are shifted and located in the slide direction of cover member 26. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the cover member 26 from rattling with respect to the handle main body 28.

By rotation of the tool 74, the cover member 26 slides from one end side to the other end side with respect to the handle main body 28, as shown in FIG. From the fitted state fitted to the handle body 28, the fitted state is released. Accordingly, the cover member 26 can be easily slid in the direction in which the handle 20 is pulled out at the position where the handle 20 is pulled out.

The holding cylinder portion 64 of the cover member 26 holds the key cylinder 30 and is inserted through the insertion hole 46 of the handle body 28. The insertion hole 46 has a gap between the holding cylinder portion 64 and the holding cylinder portion 64 in a state where the holding cylinder portion 64 and the key cylinder 30 are inserted, and is a long hole that can move in the sliding direction while the key cylinder 30 is inserted. It is formed in a shape. The gap in the sliding direction between the insertion hole 46 and the holding cylinder portion 64 is set to be larger than the amount of protrusion of the second fitting portion 68b in the sliding direction, and the cover member 26 holding the key cylinder 30 can be easily removed. Thus, the insertion hole 46 is formed.

As shown in FIG. 7C, the cover member 26 can be removed from the handle main body 28 in a disengaged state. Thus, the cover member 26 can be easily removed by sliding the cover member 26 with respect to the handle main body 28. Thereby, when the design surface of the cover member 26 is damaged, the cover member 26 can be replaced. Alternatively, the key cylinder 30 can be removed from the handle device 10 by removing the cover member 26 when replacing the key cylinder 30.

If the handle body 28 is removed from the base 22, the connection between the handle body 28 and the rotor 24 is released, and the rotor 24 is rotated by being biased by the spring member. When attaching the handle body 28, the user needs to rotate the rotor 24 to connect the transmission unit 60 of the handle body 28 and the rotor 24. In the embodiment, since the handle body 28 is not removed, the connection between the handle body 28 and the rotor 24 is maintained, and the assembly work of the cover member 26 is easy.

FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the engaging portion 54 and the engaged portion 70 when the cover member 26 slides. In the fitted state shown in FIG. 8A, the engaging portion 54 is engaged with the engaged portion 70. This restricts the movement of the cover member 26 in the sliding direction.

When the cover member 26 is moved in the sliding direction, the engaging portion 54 is bent inward in the width direction, and the convex portion 54a gets over the engaged portion 70, and as shown in FIG. It moves to the guidance part 72 to connect. Due to the inclined surface of the guiding portion 72, the cover member 26 receives a force that moves in a direction away from the handle body 28.

As a result, when the cover member 26 is slightly shifted by the rotation of the tool 74 and the engagement of the engaging portion 54 and the engaged portion 70 is released, the guide portion 72 guides the cover member 26 to fit from the fitted state. It can be set to the unlocked state. As shown in FIG. 8C, the convex portion 54 a is accommodated in the guide portion 72 in the disengaged state.
