Abstract:
The present invention provides a handlebar locking mechanism and a handlebar locking device, each of which (i) can be used for a moving body whose traveling direction is changed with a handlebar and (ii) which makes it difficult to unlock the handlebar by a forcible method such as breaking. The handlebar locking device ( 20 ) includes an engagement hole ( 11 c ) made in a steering column ( 11 a ), a lock pin ( 31 ) which locks a handlebar ( 5 ) in a case where a pin tip part ( 31 a ) of the lock pin ( 31 ) is engaged with the engagement hole ( 11 c ), and a lock pin drive mechanism which (i) moves, in a case where the handlebar ( 5 ) is to be locked, the lock pin ( 31 ) so that the pin tip part ( 31 a ) is engaged with the engagement hole ( 11 c ) and (ii) moves, in a case where the handlebar ( 5 ) is to be unlocked, the lock pin ( 31 ) so that the pin tip part ( 31 a ) is removed from the engagement hole ( 11 c ). The engagement hole ( 11 c ), the lock pin ( 31 ), and the lock pin drive mechanism being contained and provided in a frame ( 2 ) of a bicycle ( 1 ) so as to be not viewable from outside of the bicycle ( 1 ).

Claim (Index 5):
A handlebar locking device on a moving body, comprising a lock pin and a lock pin drive mechanism which are included in a handlebar locking mechanism recited in  claim 3 ,\n the handlebar locking device further comprising: 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 push-out section position identifying section which identifies a position of the push-out section and \n a lock pin position identifying section which identifies the position of the lock pin, \n the lock status identifying section being configured to detect an incomplete lock state and an incomplete unlock state according to results of the identifying by the push-out section 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 push-out section is located at a position at which the push-out section is completely pushing out the rear side support member and (ii) the lock pin is not reaching a position at which the tip part is to be engaged with the engaging section, and the incomplete unlock state being detected in a case where (i) the push-out section is located at a home position at which the push-out section is located before pushing out the rear side support member and (ii) the lock pin is located at the position at which the tip part is engaged with the engaging section.
