Abstract
A striker locks two members by engagement with a groove of a hook, wherein the striker is fixed to one of the two members and the hook is rotatably fixed to the other of the two members. The striker includes a mounting plate portion fixed to the one of the two members; a base plate portion which is formed so as to extend perpendicular to the mounting plate portion by a bending process along a bend line; and a folded-back plate portion which is formed by folding over an extended portion. The folded back plate portion extends from one end of the base plate portion in a direction of the bend line, onto the opposite side of the base plate portion from the mounting plate portion side, so that the extended portion overlies the base plate portion. The base plate portion is positioned closer to the hook than the folded-back plate portion. A through-hole is formed in the base plate portion and the folded-back plate portion, which overlie each other, so that a folded end portion between the base plate portion and the folded-back plate portion defines a rod portion serving as an engaging portion engageable with a groove of the hook.
