Abstract:
1. A locking device for an openable/closable member to be mounted openably/closably to a cavity portion in a platform member, the locking device comprising: a mounting base which is mounted on one of the platform member and the openable/closable member; a pivot which projects from the mounting base; a rotor which is mounted rotatably on the mounting base via the pivot, the rotor integrally including a pair of arms which extend radially outwards from the rotor having distal end portions; a pair of sliding pins which includes: a return spring which rotationally urges the rotor in a direction in which the sliding pins are inserted into the engagement holes; and a lock release unit which moves the rotor or the sliding pins against an urging force of the return spring so as to draw the sliding pins out of the engagement holes, wherein there is provided a guide portion which causes the sliding pins to slide straight along the lengthwise direction, wherein the pair of arms further include connecting members disposed at each of the distal end portions of the pair of arms, wherein end portions of the connecting members expand into a spherical shape, wherein the proximal end portions of the pair of sliding pins include a recess portion, wherein a width of the recess portion in the lengthwise direction of the sliding pins is substantially equal to a diameter of the spherical shape of the connecting member so as to have no play in the lengthwise direction of the sliding pins, and wherein a width of the recess portion in a direction perpendicular to the lengthwise direction of the sliding pins is greater than the diameter of the spherical shape of the connecting member so as to have a given play in the direction perpendicular to the lengthwise direction.
