EARTHQUAKE-RESISTANT LATCH STRUCTURE

摘要

An earthquake-resistant latch structure which has a simple structure enabling an easy embodiment of the structure, which can reliably latch a movable member, such as a drawer, a sliding door, or a swing door, when vibration acts on it, and which can be easily and reliably released from a latched state. The earthquake-resistant latch structure has a restriction slot (53) consisting of a standby passage (55) and an action passage (56) that extends in the direction intersecting with the standby passage (55) and provided in a stationary member (1), a detection pin (51) movably provided in the restriction slot (53) and projecting from the restriction slot toward the movable member (2), and a stopper provided on the movable member (2) and not engaging with the detection pin (51) set in the standby passage (55) of the restriction slot (53) but engaging only with the detection pin (51) set in the action passage (56).
