[0035]
Thus, when the operation shaft 27 occupies the “OFF” position, the engine switch 22 is turned off, and the lock lever 35 swings to the unlock position D when pushed in the axial direction at the “lid open” position. The engine switch 22 is turned on when it is moved to the “ON” position, and the handle lock means 23 is activated when it is rotated to the “handle lock” position. The key 20 can be inserted into and removed from the key hole 41 at the “OFF” and “handle lock” positions of the operation shaft 27.
[0036]
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
[0037]
Now, in order to open the open / close lid 3 of the luggage box 2, the key 20 is inserted into the key hole 41 of the cylinder lock 21 and the operation shaft 27 is rotated to "lid open". Press. When the operation shaft 27 slides toward the engine switch 22 by such an operation, the lock lever 35 swings from the lock position C to the lock release position D as shown in FIG. Therefore, the locking lever 15 of the lid locking means 10 swings to the locking release position B with the urging force of the release spring 19 and releases the locked ring 17 of the opening / closing lid 3. Therefore, the luggage box 2 can be opened by rotating the open / close lid 3 upward. At this time, since the set load of the latch release spring 19 is set to be larger than that of the cable return spring 40, the operation cable 7 and the locked target are associated with the swing of the latch lever 15 to the latch release position B. The lever 36 is pulled toward the locking lever 15, and the front end surface of the first arm 36 a of the locked lever 36 is opposed to the lock claw 39.
[0038]
In this state, when the pressing force applied to the operation shaft 27 by the key 20 is released, the operation shaft 27 tries to return to the original position in the axial direction by the urging force of the return spring 31, and the lock lever 35 is moved from the lock release position D. While attempting to swing to the lock position C, as shown in FIG. 6, the lock claw 39 comes into contact with the distal end surface of the first arm 36 a of the locked lever 36 and stops swinging.
[0039]
Therefore, if the opening / closing lid 3 is rotated downward to close the luggage box 2, the pressure receiving arm 16a is engaged because the locked ring 17 pushes down the pressure receiving arm 16a of the auxiliary lever 16 while entering the guide groove 18. By pressing the protrusion 15c of the stop lever 15 downward, the lock lever 15 is swung to the lock position A, and the hook 15a is engaged with the locked ring 17 as shown in FIG.
[0040]
By the way, the swinging of the locking lever 15 to the locking position A causes the operation cable 7 to move toward the locked lever 36 by the pressing force from the locking lever 15. In particular, since the cable return spring 40 urges the operation cable 7 together with the locked lever 36 toward the locked lever 36 side, the operation cable 7 can move smoothly toward the locked lever 36 side. As a result, as soon as the locked lever 36 swings to the first position E and the tip of the first arm 36a moves above the lock claw 39 of the lock lever 35, the retracting force of the operating shaft 27 by the return spring 31 As a result, the lock lever 35 swings to the lock position C, the lock claw 39 is engaged with the second arm 35b, and the lock lever 36 is restrained to the first position E as shown in FIG.
[0041]
Thus, the locking state of the lid locking means 10 can be locked to prevent the opening / closing lid 3 from being opened. In this state, even if the middle portion of the operation cable 7 is pulled by mischief, the locked lever 36 locked to the lock lever 35 does not move from the first position E, and the locking lever 15 Since 15a is swung in a direction in which the engagement with the locked ring 17 is strengthened, it is possible to prevent the lid locking means 10 from being released due to mischief, and thus the locked state of the open / close lid 3 is kept locked. be able to.
