Abstract

A self-guided locking device for a motorcycle disk brake piece includes a lock body provided with an insertion slot to receive a motorcycle disk brake piece. A locking bolt and a locking location pin are disposed in the lock body. The locking bolt and the locking location pin can be forced by a spring to extend to the insertion slot. When the motorcycle disk brake piece inserts into the insertion slot. The locking location pin first comes into contact with the motorcycle disk brake piece to release the locking bolt. The blocking bolt is forced by a spring to penetrate through a hole of the motorcycle disk brake piece so as to seal off the insertion slot.

Claims

1. An self-guided locking device for motorcycle disk brake comprising:

a lock body, defining the main body for assembling of the lock as a whole and having an insert slot formed thereon to receive the disk brake;

a lock sleeve, provided in the lock body and controllable through a key to lock or unlock the disk brake;

a lock bolt, provided in the lock body to be forced into the insert slot formed on the lock body by an effort applied by an elastic member; and

a locating bolt, an end of which is urged against by an elastic reset member into the insert slot;

wherein upon putting the disk brake into the insert slot, the lock bolt enters into the insert slot urged by the elastic reset member, as result of that the locating bolt, poked by the disk brake, sets the lock bolt free from the confinement thereon, and the lock bolt, in turn, is urged against the disk brake, and the lock body and the lock bolt are moved to align with a through hole on the disk brake, such that the lock bolt enters into the through hole to incapacitate the motorcycle disk brake.

2. The self-guided locking device according to claim 1, wherein two intercepted parallel columned holes are formed above the insert slot on the lock body for housing the lock sleeve and the lock bolt respectively;

a rotatable body is engaged on the lower end of the lock sleeve to bring interaction to the lock sleeve and lock bolt;

a through hole is centered in the rotatable body and a tubing hole is formed at the bottom of said through hole;

in a columned hole of the lock body a protruded seat which can be engaged with the tubing hole of the rotatable body is formed at the bottom thereof, allowing the rotatable body to be positioned on the seat through the tubing hole and the lock sleeve to be seated in the through hole by the end of a lock core;

a pair of ears are formed on the top surface of said rotatable body, with a pole provided laterally on the lock core for operatively poking the ears;

the lock bolt, structured as a shaft, covered by an end cap, is housed within the columned hole and contacts the insert slot through a guiding hole situated on the bottom of the columned hole;

a guiding pole formed on the top of the lock bolt can be inserted directly into a guiding hole on the bottom of the end cap;

a compression spring is engaged on the guiding pole of the lock bolt to urge against the lock bolt so that the lock bolt is applied with a force to insert the lock bolt into the insert slot automatically;

a protruded block is formed in the middle of the lock bolt and a slanted guiding edge is formed on the outer surface thereof to drive the rotatable body of the lock bolt, such that the lock bolt is engaged with a slanted guiding edge by means of the protruded block; and

a locating bolt is provided between the rotatable body and the insert slot.

3. The self-guided locking device according to claim 2, wherein said locating bolt shaped as a plate having a push-poking surface formed at the bottom thereof engages in a guiding slot which is formed on the center of the protruded seat below the rotatable body;

a pair of ears are formed on both sides on the top of the locating bolt;

on the top of the ears a notch recess is formed to confine a compression spring;

urged by the compression spring, an end of the locating bolt is inserted in the insert slot, and the locating bolt is prevented from falling down by a stop functioned by the lateral ears on both sides of the locating bolt;

in the tubing holt at the bottom of the rotatable body, a torsional spring is provided, which enables the rotatable body rotating automatically in a predetermined direction to urge the lock bolt insert into the insert slot;

an inner ring is formed in the middle of a through hole of the rotatable body, a pair of notches of which ring are formed thereon in the direction towards the locating bolt, such that the ears of the locating bolt can be passed through the inner ring or located just at the notch of the inner ring, and so serve as a confinement preventing the rotatable body from following the elastic reset member.

4. The self-guided locking device according to claims 2 or 3, wherein a flange is formed at the outer top edge of the lock sleeve;

an end cap to depress the lock bolt is formed adjacent the lock sleeve to form a concave arc for engaging a convex edge of the lock sleeve, such that a depression is acted on the end cap by the lock sleeve;

the lock sleeve is fixed on the lock body by a fix pin to complete the assembling of the lock sleeve, the lock bolts and the end cap.

5. The self-guided locking device according to claim 1, wherein three intercepted parallel columned holes are formed above the insert slot on the lock body housed in one of the columned holes by an end cap;

a lower end of the lock sleeve is provided with a rotatable body;

a torsional spring is provided between the lock sleeve and the rotatable body;

a slant slot and an inverted-L guiding slot are provided on the opposite side walls of the rotatable body respectively;

the lock bolt and the locating bolt, both shaped as shafts, are situated in the other two columned holes on the opposite sides of the rotatable body respectively, and on the sides of the lock bolt and the locating bolt a few protruded shafts are formed which correspond to the slant slot and the guiding slot respectively;

between the top ends of the lock and locating bolts and the top cap a compress spring is provided which allows to be inserted into the insert slot via a guiding hole at the bottom of the columned hole;

a
