<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To compact a device by particularly reducing the front-rear size of the device. SOLUTION: The locking device 1 with a housing 2, a movable knob 3, a key cylinder 4 and an external cylinder 5 and a latch 7 changed over at a locked place engaged with an engaging member 71 on the box body side and an unlocked place where the engagement of the latch is released under the unlocked state of the key cylinder is used as the object. The key cylinder 4 has a projection 9b projected to the front corresponding section of the latch 7, and can be rotated by the movable knob 3 to the housing 2 together with the external cylinder 5. The latch 7 is slidably assembled to the housing 2 in the vertical direction approximately crossing the pushing direction of the movable knob 3 while being urged in the locked direction, can be changed over at the unlocked place in the case of the unlocked state of the key cylinder 4 by the change of a position by the pushing operation of the movable knob 3 of the projection 9b, and cannot be changed over at the unlocked place in the case of the locked state.</p> |
