Abstract:
1. A striker for locking two members with each other by engagement of said striker with a groove of a hook, wherein said striker is fixed to one of said two members and said hook is rotatably fixed to the other of said two members, said striker comprising: a mounting plate portion fixed to said one of said two members; a base plate portion which is formed so as to extend perpendicular to said mounting plate portion by a bending process along a bend line; and a folded-back plate portion which is formed by folding over an extended portion, extending from one end of said base plate portion in a direction of said bend line, onto the opposite side of said base plate portion from said mounting plate portion side, so that said extended portion overlies said base plate portion, wherein said base plate portion is positioned closer to said hook than said folded-back plate portion, wherein a through-hole is formed in said base plate portion and said folded-back plate portion, which overlie each other, so that a folded end portion between said base plate portion and said folded-back plate portion defines a rod portion serving as an engaging portion engageable with a groove of said hook, and wherein a first portion of a cross section of said rod portion, at said folded end portion, which is taken along a plane orthogonal to the direction of the length of said rod portion is greater in length than a second portion of said cross section of said rod portion, said first portion and said second portion being provided on said base plate portion and said folded-back plate portion, respectively.
