ABSTRACT:
A push-lock device has a damper mechanism 9 which includes a strip body 17; protruding portions 14, 16; a protruding portion 26; and a rubber ring 23. The strip body 17 is arranged in the moving direction of the sliding body 4 housed in the case 2 and has a meandering groove 22 formed therein. The protruding portions 14, 16 support rotatably the ends of the strip body 17. The protruding portion 26 is arranged to the sliding body 4 and engages to the meandering groove 22. The rubber ring 23 is arranged between the base 2b of the case 2 and one end of the strip body 17. The damper mechanism 9 can brake the movement of the sliding body 4 to prevent the sliding body from returning quickly from the locking position. The shock noise of the sliding body is reduced and the knob can be prevented from slipping out from the operating shaft.
