Abstract

A lock device structure includes an assembly of a case body and an actuator body, a linking member and a slide body mounted on the case body. The actuator body has two arm sections and a notch section positioned between the two arm sections. An operation member and an elastic member are disposed in the notch section. The elastic member serves to make the operation member reciprocally move in an axial direction of the actuator body. The linking member has a first end pivotally connected with the actuator body (or the operation member) and a second end connected with the slide body. When an operator pulls (and pushes) the operation member to move, the actuator body is permitted to move from a closed position to an open position to drive the linking member and the slide body to move.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A lock device structure comprising:
an assembly of a case body 10 and an actuator body 20 , and a linking member 30 and a slide body 40 mounted on the case body 10 , the actuator body 20 being defined with an axial direction X, the actuator body 20 having a free end 21 and a pivoted end 22 pivotally connected with the case body 10 in cooperation with an elastic unit 50 , whereby the actuator body 20 can reciprocally move, the free end 21 of the actuator body 20 having two protruding arm sections 25 and a notch section 26 positioned between the two arm sections 25 , an operation member 80 and an elastic member 55 being disposed in the notch section 26 , the elastic member 55 serving to make the operation member 80 reciprocally move in the axial direction X of the actuator body 20 , the linking member 30 having a freely rotatable first end 31 and a second end 32 connected with the slide body 40 , the first end 31 being pivotally connected with the free end 21 of the actuator body 20 , wherein two rails 95 are disposed on inner sides of the arm sections 25 in parallel to the axial direction X of the actuator body 20 , tail sections of the arm sections 25 being formed with pinholes 27 for correspondingly pivotally connecting with a shaft pin 77 , a mounting section 96 being disposed on a section of the actuator body 20 inside the notch section 26 distal from the tail sections of the arm sections 25 for assembling with the elastic member 55 , the mounting section 96 being in the form of a stake or a socket structure, whereby when the operation member 80 reciprocally moves in the axial direction X, the actuator body 20 is permitted to move from a closed position to an open position to drive the linking member 30 and the slide body 40 to move, a direction of an application force for moving the operation member 80 in the axial direction X being the same as a direction of a horizontal component of a force for moving the actuator body 20 toward the open position.

2 . The lock device structure as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the case body 10 has a bottom wall 11 , two sidewalls 12 extending in a direction in parallel to the axial direction of the case body 10 and a main end wall 13 and a subsidiary end wall 14 connected with the sidewalls 12 and perpendicular to the axial direction of the case body 10 , the bottom wall 11 , the sidewalls 12 , the main end wall 13 and the subsidiary end wall 14 together defining an open chamber 15 of the case body 10 for accommodating the actuator body 20 , the linking member 30 and the slide body 40 , each of the sidewalls 12 of the case body 10 being formed with a slot 16 , a raised structure 12 a being disposed on an inner side of each of the sidewalls 12 of the case body 10 , the main end wall 13 being formed with an opening 18 , the subsidiary end wall 14 being formed with a subsidiary locating section 19 in the form of a window, the actuator body 20 being a plate body structure, the pivoted end 22 of the actuator body 20 having a shafted section 23 and two recessed sections 24 formed at two ends of the shafted section 23 for accommodating the elastic unit 50 , the elastic unit 50 is selectively in the form of a torsion spring having two coiled sections 53 , two first sections 51 and two second sections 52 connected with the coiled sections 53 and an extension section 54 perpendicularly connected with the second sections 52 , the shaft section 23 being assembled with a shaft 70 , which is fitted through the coiled sections 53 of the elastic unit 50 and two shaft holes 17 formed on the sidewalls 12 of the case body 10 , the first sections 51 of the elastic unit 50 abutting against the bottom wall 11 of the case body 10 , while the second sections 52 of the elastic unit 50 abutting against the recessed sections 24 of the actuator body 20 , the arm sections of the actuator body 20 being in parallel to each other, the arm sections 25 being formed with dented sections 25 a , tail sections of the arm sections 25 being formed with pinholes 27 .

3 . The lock device structure as claimed in claim 2 ,
wherein the operation member 80 includes an operable base body 83 and a main section 81 and a subsidiary section 82 positioned at two ends of the base body 83 , two subsidiary rails 85 being disposed on two sides of the operation member 80 , the operation member 80 being formed with a subsidiary mounting section 86 for assembling with the elastic member 55 , the subsidiary section 82 being formed with a hook-shaped locating section 84 , when the actuator body 20 is positioned in the closed position, the locating section 84 is engaged with the case body 10 , whereby the actuator body 20 is securely engaged with the case body 10 , after the operation member 80 is moved, the locating section 84 is disengaged from the subsidiary locating section 19 of the case body 10 , the elastic member 55 being selectively in the form of a coiled spring and having a first section 56 and a second section 58 .

4 . The lock device structure as claimed in claim 3 ,
