  • Publication number: 20150345178
    Abstract: A cylinder lock device includes a body, a rotor rotatably arranged inside the body, a first sleeve rotatably arranged between the body and the rotor, a rotatable holder lever arranged to face a side of the rotor opposite to the key insertion side, a second sleeve that is arranged between the rotor and the holder lever, is axially movable relative to the holder lever and rotates in conjunction with the holder lever, and a biasing member pressing the second sleeve toward the rotor so as to engage the second sleeve with the rotor, the biasing member applying a force in a circumferential direction of the second sleeve or the holder lever. The body includes a region that serves both as a stopper against an end portion of the biasing member and as a contact portion for restricting the second lever or the holder lever from moving in a rotation direction.
