JP3546354B2 - Wire lock for motorcycle - Google Patents

Description

[0001]
[Industrial applications]
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a wire lock for a two-wheeled vehicle in which a cover made of an elastic material (elastomer) such as rubber is attached to a substantially cylindrical lock main body so as not to damage a vehicle body.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Unlike ordinary wire locks that use relatively long wires, motorcycle wire locks that use short and thick wires are not stored when not in use, and the wire locks can be placed at appropriate positions on the vehicle body, for example, at the loading platform. It is often used to run a motorcycle while being hung and wound in a locked state.
[0003]
This type of wire lock used as described above has a disadvantage that unlike a general wire lock, it is strong and heavy, so that the metal lock body easily hits the car body due to vibrations during running and is easily damaged. .
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In view of the above, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to develop a wire lock for a two-wheeled vehicle that makes it difficult for the vehicle body to be damaged when the motorcycle is run while being attached to the vehicle body when not in use.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a fixing end of a flexible rod at one end, a locking hole for inserting a locking rod provided at a tip of the rod at a side surface, and a keyhole at the other end surface. A cover formed of an elastomer is elastically fitted to a lock body having an appropriate thickness and a bottomed cylindrical shape along the outer periphery of the lock body, with the tip end of the lock mechanism having a The opening at the tip of the cover is biased toward the fixed end of the flexible rod to abut on the step provided on the lock body, and the opening provided on the side surface is integrally formed on the side surface of the lock body. The short cylindrical fitting portion, which is fitted on the strip and is also provided on the side surface, is matched with the locking hole of the lock body, and the leading end of the locking mechanism of the lock body is opened from the opening provided on the bottomed end surface. At the same time, cover the lock body with an elastic cover so that the keyhole is exposed. It is intended to provide a motorcycle wire lock according to claim.
[0006]
According to the present invention configured as described above, the lock body that is wound by winding the wire portion around the vehicle body, along with the short cylindrical fitting portion that covers the locking hole, has a large part of the outer periphery elastically. As described above, even if the motorcycle is run with the wire lock attached thereto as described above, the collision or abrasion due to vibration is buffered by the cover, and the vehicle body is hardly damaged.
[0007]
Also, since the cover having an appropriate thickness is elastically opened and attached to the lock body, it does not require much trouble to attach the cover and requires less labor. Is advantageous in that the adhered state is sufficiently fixed in both the length direction and the circumferential direction, and the durability is high.
Further, since the keyhole is exposed at the opening on the end face of the bottomed cover, the unlocking operation is not hindered by the attachment of the cover.

【Example】
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view showing a locked state, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a lock main body part without an internal structure.
[0009]
In the drawing, reference numeral 1 denotes a lock body having a substantially cylindrical outer shape similar to a conventional wire lock, and 2 denotes a wire 2a having a fixed end attached to one end (left side in the figure) of the lock body 1 and a transparent body. A flexible rod 3 made of a resin-coated tube 2b is opened on the side surface (the lower surface in the figure) of the lock body 1 and a locking hole for inserting a pseudo-beaded locking rod 4 provided at the tip of the rod 2 is provided. The lock mechanism 7 of the cylinder lock type, which is mounted in the lock body 1 with the keyhole 6 protruding from the other end surface of the lock body 1 together with the tip end, has an appropriate thickness, and has an outer shape of the lock body 1. It is a cover that has an inner shape along the bottom and is formed in a cylindrical shape with a bottom.
[0010]
The cover 7 is formed of an elastomer such as rubber and is elastically fitted to the lock body 1, and the opening 8 at the tip is provided on the lock body 1 so as to be biased toward the fixed end of the flexible rod 2. The opening 10 provided on the left and right side surfaces is brought into contact with the step portion 9 and fitted into a pair of left and right convex ridges 11 integrally formed on the side surface of the lock body 1. The part 12 is aligned with the locking hole 3 provided on the lower side surface of the lock body 1 in the figure, and the opening part 14 provided on the bottomed end surface 13 is connected to the tip of the locking mechanism 5 built in the lock body 1. The lock body 1 is elastically encapsulated so that the keyhole 6 is exposed.
In the figure, reference numeral 16 denotes a key of the wire lock, which can be carried out of the keyhole 6 so as to be portable when locked.
[0011]
The cover 7 has such an elasticity that it can be fitted without requiring much force when it is attached to the lock body, and has the same thickness as the stepped portion 9, so that the outer surface of the lock body 1 It is desirable that the side surfaces be flush with each other so that the side surfaces are not caught.
In addition, a pair of left and right ridges 11 formed on the side surface of the lock main body 1 is provided. In any case, the shape of the cover 7 is not limited to the illustrated embodiment because it is for preventing the attached cover 7 from rotating and preventing the cover 7 from shifting in the length direction. In the embodiment, since the periphery of the lock hole 3 of the lock body 1 is made smooth, the ridge 11 acts to prevent the displacement of the lock hole 3 from the fitting portion 12 on the cover side. May be formed so that the alignment of the fitting position and the rotation prevention are combined.
[0012]
Further, in the embodiment, the end of the lock body is opened so that the tip of the locking mechanism 5 and its support 15 are exposed when the cover 7 is not attached. The cover is covered by the cover 7 so that the use of the lock is not hindered. Although the tip of the locking mechanism 5 is provided on one side of the opening of the lock body 1, the keyhole 6 provided at the center may be exposed to the opening provided at the same position. The length of the cover 7 to be attached is appropriately changed according to the gist of the present invention and in accordance with the outer shape of the lock body 1 to be attached.
[0013]
【The invention's effect】
The wire lock for a motorcycle according to the present invention configured as described above and used as described above is, as described above, a lock body that is in a suspended state by winding the wire around the vehicle body when not in use. Most are covered by an elastic cover. Further, the periphery of the metal locking rod that is locked in the locking hole and protrudes outside the body is also covered by the elastic short cylindrical fitting portion. Therefore, there is an excellent effect that the shock when the lock body collides with or rubs against the vehicle body due to vibrations during running is buffered and a wire lock that does not damage the vehicle body can be used.
