Abstract:
1. A latching device capable of disengaging from a rod-like portion in response to a pulling operation by a pull member, the latching device comprising: a base member; a first link which is supported at the base member in a rotatable manner and of which a rotational motion is imparted by the pull member; a second link which is supported at the base member in a manner that permits the second link to rotate about an axis parallel to an axis of rotation of the first link; a latch including a hook-like portion engageable with the rod-like portion; and a transmission mechanism configured to transmit a rotational motion of the second link to the latch and, to cause the latch to make a rotational motion, wherein the first link has a first action surface and a second action surface, wherein the second link has a contact surface disposed to face the first action surface before the pulling operation made by the pull member, and wherein the pulling operation made by the pull member causes the first action surface to push the contact surface, causing the second link to make a rotational motion, and causes a surface of the first link in contact with the second link to be switched, partway through the pulling operation made by the pull member, from the first action surface to the second action surface.
