The base plate 12 has a caulking hole 12a.
By means of a shaft 20 which is caulked, the cable lever 2
1 is pivotally attached. The cable lever 21 has a cable hanging arm 21a and a spring hanging arm 21b, and the cable assembly 2 is attached to the cable hanging arm 21a.
One end of the second inner cable 22a is connected.
The outer cable 22b of the cable assembly 22 is
It is fixed to the cut and raised piece 12b of the base plate 12.
The other end of the cable assembly 22 is guided into the vehicle, and its inner cable 22a is connected to an opener lever (not shown). A tension spring 23 is stretched between the spring hook arm 21b and the cut-and-raised piece 12c of the base plate 12 to urge the cable lever 21 to rotate counterclockwise in the drawing. The cable lever 21 has two driving interlocking rotary parts (faces) 21c and 21d for transmitting the rotary motion about the shaft 20 to the two open levers 24 and 25 having different shapes. . The ratchet 18 does not have an engaging portion with the engaging portion 18d.

In FIG. 1, these two open levers 2
Although 4 and 25 are drawn together, in reality, they are selectively supported between the cable lever 21 and the base plate 12 depending on the difference in the position of the key device provided near the trunk lid. 2 to 6 are lock devices in which the open lever 24 and the cable lever 21 are combined, and FIGS. 7 to 10 are the open lever 25 and the cable lever 21.
It shows a locking device that is a combination of.

Now, assuming that the open lever 24 is a vertical open lever and the open lever 25 is a horizontal open lever, both the open levers 24, 25 are different in position and shape, and the shaft 20 is relatively movably inserted. The elongated holes 24a, 25a in the central portion and the rod hanging arm 24
b and 25b, and the driving interlocking rotating portion 2 of the cable lever 21.
Driven interlocking rotating portion (cut-and-raised portion) 24 corresponding to 1c and 21d
c and 25c and ratchet pressing portions 24r and 25r.

The rod hanging arms 24b and 25b of the vertical and horizontal open levers 24 and 25 are passed through the holes formed in the base plate 12 to the rear surface (the surface opposite to the surface on which the hook 17 and the ratchet 18 are pivotally attached). One ends of key interlocking rods 26 and 27, which extend and have different movement directions depending on the position of a key device provided near the trunk lid, are connected to the rod hanging arms 24b and 25b. Key interlocking rod 2
When the key device 6 is rotated in the unlocking direction, the key 6 moves generally in the downward direction (arrow A direction) in FIGS. 1 and 4, and in the canceling direction, it moves upward (arrow B direction). To do. The key interlocking rod 27 moves substantially in the right direction (direction of arrow A) in FIGS. 1 and 8 when the key device is rotated in the unlocking direction, and moves in the left direction (direction of arrow B) in the canceling direction. ) Move to.

The vertical open lever 24 has an elongated hole 24.
By "a", it is possible to move between a coaxial rotation position where it rotates coaxially with the cable lever 21 and a cancellation position. That is, as shown by the solid line (broken line) in FIG.
The position where the shaft 20 is relatively positioned at the upper end of a is the coaxial rotation position, and when the key interlocking rod 26 moves in the direction of arrow A at this coaxial rotation position, the ratchet pressing portion 24r.
Presses the engaging portion 18d of the ratchet 18 to rotate it to the unlocked position.

Further, in this coaxial rotation position, when the cable lever 21 is rotated in the clockwise direction in the figure through the inner cable 22a, the driving interlocking rotary part 21c and the driven interlocking rotary part 24c are engaged. Vertical open lever 24
As a result, the ratchet pressing portion 24r presses the engaging portion 18d in the same manner as when the key interlocking rod 26 moves in the A direction, thereby releasing the lock.

On the other hand, as shown by a chain line in FIG. 4, the cancel position is a position where the shaft 20 is relatively positioned at the lower end of the vertically elongated slot 24a of the vertical open lever 24.
At the cancel position, the driven interlocking rotation portion 24c moves to a non-engagement position with the drive interlocking rotation portion 21c of the cable lever 21 (see a chain line in FIG. 4). Therefore, even if the cable lever 21 is turned (even if the open lever is operated in the vehicle), the turning force is not transmitted to the vertical open lever 24 and the unlocking is not performed. FIG. 6 shows a vertical open lever 24.
Shows the positional relationship with the cable lever 21 when is in the cancel position.

Like the vertical open lever 24, the horizontal open lever 25 can be moved between a coaxial rotary position where it is coaxially rotated with the cable lever 21 and a cancel position by its elongated hole 25a.

The ratchet pressing portion 25r similarly presses the engaging portion 18d to release the lock.

On the other hand, as shown by the chain line in FIG. 8, the position where the shaft 20 is relatively positioned at the right end of the horizontally elongated slot 24a is the cancel position.
The driven interlocking rotation part 25c moves to a non-engagement position with the drive interlocking rotation part 21d of the cable lever 21 (see the chain line in FIG. 8). Therefore, even if the cable lever 21 is turned (even if the open lever is operated in the vehicle), the turning force is not transmitted to the horizontal open lever 25 and the unlocking is not performed. FIG. 10 shows the positional relationship with the cable lever 21 when the horizontal open lever 25 is in the coaxial rotation position.

The vertical open lever 24 is moved between the coaxial rotation position and the cancellation position by operating the key device (key interlocking rod 26). For this reason, a swing assist arm 24f is formed on the vertical open lever 24, a swing assist arm 21f is formed on the cable lever 21, and a swing fulcrum cut-and-raised piece 12f is formed on the base plate 12. As apparent from FIGS. 4 and 5, the swing assist arm 24f is sandwiched between the swing fulcrum cut-and-raised piece 12f and the swing assist arm 21f, and the key interlocking rod 26 (rod hanging arm 24b). Is moved in the direction of arrow B, the vertical open lever 24 swings around the tip end portion of the swing assist arm 24f, and the shaft 2
The relative position of the long hole 24a with respect to 0 is changed. Slot 2
Reference numeral 4a is an arcuate hole whose center is near the tip of the swing assist arm 24f. When the key interlocking rod 26 is moved from the cancel position in the direction of arrow A by the key device, the vertical open lever 24 returns to the coaxial rotation position by the operation reverse to the above.

The horizontal open lever 25, like the vertical open lever 24, is a key device (key interlocking rod 27).
Is moved between the coaxial rotation position and the cancel position. For this reason, a swing assist arm 25g is formed on the horizontal open lever 25, a swing assist arm 21g is formed on the cable lever 21, and a swing fulcrum cut-and-raised piece 12g is formed on the base plate 12. As apparent from FIGS. 8 and 9, the swing assist arm 25g is sandwiched between the swing fulcrum cut-and-raised piece 12g and the swing assist arm 21g, and the key interlocking rod 27 (rod hanging arm 25b). When is moved in the direction of arrow B, the horizontal open lever 25 swings around the swing assist arm 25g, and changes the relative position of the elongated hole 25a with respect to the shaft 20. The long hole 25a is a swing assist arm 25g.
It is an arc hole centered around the vicinity of. When the key interlocking rod 27 is moved from the cancel position in the direction of arrow A by the key device, the horizontal open lever 25 returns to the coaxial rotation position by the operation opposite to the above.

As described above, the cable lever 21 of the present embodiment is a common cable lever that can be commonly used for both the vertical open lever 24 and the horizontal open lever 25. Therefore, it is not necessary to design and manufacture the cable lever for each of the vertical and horizontal open levers, and the cost can be reduced. In the above embodiment, the vertical interlocking lever 26 moves the vertical open lever 24 in the substantially vertical direction between the simultaneous pivoting position and the cancel position, and the key interlocking rod 27 causes the horizontal open lever 25 to move simultaneously. Although it is assumed that the key interlocking rods are moved in the substantially left-right direction between the cancel positions, the moving directions of these key interlocking rods are examples, and the elongated holes 24a and 25a, the rod hanging arms 24b and 25b, Driven interlocking rotating portions 24c, 25c, swing assist arms 24f, 25g, ratchet pressing portions 24r, 2
The position of 5r can be determined, and the positions of the plurality of driving interlocking rotating portions 21c, 21d of the cable lever 21 can be determined accordingly.
