Abstract
A locking device comprising a handle rotatably supported on a body through a support shaft, a catch hook rotatably supported by said handle through a rotary shaft, and a hook secured to a counterpart member to be fastened to or detached from said body and engageable with said catch hook at the time of locking, said rotary shaft for rotatably supporting the catch hook on the handle being provided at a position closer to the body than a straight line passing through the support shaft and a portion of engagement between the catch hook and the hook when the handle approaches the body to take a locking position, and the counterpart member being locked against the body through the catch hook through a turnover action of the catch hook, said action occurring when the handle rotates, wherein there is provided a retainer to be projected to a position close to an opposite side portion of the handle during locking, said opposite side portion being substantially opposite to the rotary shaft with the support shaft interposed therebetween and including the support shaft, and to be disposed at a position where the retainer abuts against the opposite side portion when the hook together with the counterpart member move relative to the handle in a direction of the handle.
