Abstract
A safety locking mechanism is applicable to an elastically expandable baton including a plurality of hollow tubes that can be collapsed into a short baton or expanded into a long baton. The safety locking mechanism includes a positioning portion that can be fixed to one of the hollow tubes, a locking-releasing button pivotally connectable to the positioning portion, and a safety locking key arranged to the locking-releasing button. A user only needs to push the safety locking key with a finger and makes the safety locking key to be in a locking position, the locking-releasing button will not be able to move as a lever, thereby keeping the elastically expandable baton in the short-baton state.

A safety locking mechanism applicable to an elastically expandable baton and comprising:
- a positioning portion configured to be arranged at an outer periphery of an outermost hollow tube of the elastically expandable baton at a position adjacent to a front end of the outermost hollow tube;
- a locking-releasing button pivotally connectable to the positioning portion, having a locking hook, a slide groove and two ends configured to move as a lever on the positioning portion, and configured to:
- lock an impact head of the elastically expandable baton through the locking hook and keep the elastically expandable baton in a short-baton state;
- and
- release the impact head of the elastically expandable baton through a lever movement when being pressed and allow the elastically expandable baton to be expanded into a long-baton state;
- and
- a safety locking key mountable to and bidirectionally slidable in the slide groove of the locking-releasing button, and configured to be slid to a locking position and keep the locking-releasing button from moving as the lever and in a locked state when the elastically expandable baton is in the short-baton state, and be slid to an unlocking position and keep the locking-releasing button in an unlocked state where the lever movement of the locking-releasing button is not blocked by the safety locking key.
