Abstract:
The present invention provides a handlebar locking device which (i) can be used for a moving body whose traveling direction is changed with a handlebar and (ii) makes it difficult to unlock the handlebar by a forcible method such as breaking. The handlebar locking device ( 20 ) includes (i) a lock unit ( 30 ) which is fixed in a steering column ( 11 ) that rotates along with a handlebar ( 5 ) and (ii) a fixed bracket ( 70 ) which is fixed in a head tube ( 12 ). The lock unit ( 30 ) includes (i) a lock pin ( 31 ) having a tip part ( 31 a ) that protrudes from a guiding long hole ( 11 a ) of the steering column ( 11 ) and (ii) a lock pin drive mechanism which controls the lock pin ( 31 ) to axially move back and forth. The fixed bracket ( 70 ) has an engagement groove ( 71 ) with which the lock pin ( 31 ) is to be engaged.

Claim (Index 7):
The handlebar locking device as set forth in  claim 3 , further comprising:\n a lock status identifying section which identifies, according to a position of the lock pin, a lock status indicative of locking of the handlebar by the lock pin; and a notification processing section which outputs the lock status of the handlebar thus identified by the lock status identifying section, the lock status identifying section including\n a moving part position identifying section which identifies a position of the moving part and \n a lock pin position identifying section which identifies the position of the lock pin, and \n the lock status identifying section being configured to detect an incomplete lock state according to results of the identifying by the moving part position identifying section and of the identifying by the lock pin position identifying section, the incomplete lock state being detected in a case where (i) the moving part is located at the first position and (ii) the lock pin is not reaching a position at which the tip part is to be engaged with the engagement groove.
