Abstract
A locking apparatus for vehicles of the present invention is constituted by a rigid lock body and a hook. The hook is connected to the lock body in a ring shape such that, at least one end thereof can be separated from the lock body. The lock body includes a moving plate which engages with and disengages from the separating end side of the hook, responding to the external operation for unlocking and locking, and an operating shaft capable of reciprocating in an interlocking fashion with the moving plate. On the operating shaft, a plurality of dials are respectively disposed rotatably via bushes. Between the dials and the bushes, an unlocking code sequence setting mechanism for setting an unlocking code sequence freely is formed, and between the operating shaft and the bush, a lock mechanism is formed. The lock mechanism allows reciprocating motion of the operating shaft when the dial codes are in an aligned state constituting the unlocking code sequence, and restricts reciprocating motion of the operating shaft in a misaligned state.
