ABSTRACT:
A lock device has a striker and a lock proper. The lock proper includes a base member having a striker receiving slot into which the striker can be led. A latch plate is pivotally connected to the base member. A locking plate is pivotally connected to the base member. A striker restraining member is pivotally connected through a pivot shaft to the base member. The striker restraining member is pivotal between a restraining position, where a contact edge thereof abuts against the striker, and a releasing position, where the contact edge disengages from the striker. Springs are employed for biasing the latch plate to pivot toward a stand-by position, biasing the locking plate to pivot toward a lock position, and biasing the striker restraining member to pivot toward the restraining position. A link mechanism is employed for causing the striker restraining member to take the restraining position when the latch plate and the locking plate take latching and lock positions respectively. The pivot shaft of the striker restraining member is positioned at the back of the striker receiving slot, so that the contact edge of the striker restraining member can abut against a front side of the striker.
