  (Operation Effect 3) The first cam means 37 includes the first cam groove 51 and the first copying portion 52 as described above. The second cam means 39 includes the second cam groove 53 and the second copying portion 54 as described above.

  The first lock pin 36 and the second lock pin 38 are separately housed according to the operation direction of the operation lever 31. As a result, by selecting the operation direction and operating the operation lever 31, the first lock mechanism 17 and the second lock mechanism 18 can be used properly, and unlocking can be performed individually by different operations on the operation lever 31. Can be performed.

  For example, when the operation lever 31 is pressed, the first lock pin 36 is moved and the main body storage unit 13 is opened, and when the operation lever 31 is pulled, the second lock pin 38 is moved and moved so that the opening / closing lid 16 is opened. Can do.

  On the other hand, when the operation lever 31 is pulled, the first lock pin 36 is retracted and the main body accommodating portion 13 is opened, and when the operation lever 31 is pressed, the second lock pin 38 is retracted and the open / close lid 16 is opened. You can also.

  (Effect 4) The 1st cam groove 51 and the 2nd cam groove 53 shall have the inclined surface from which the directions of inclination mutually differ. As a result, the first lock pin 36 and the second lock pin 38 are reversely operated, so that the first lock mechanism 17 and the second lock mechanism 18 can be selectively used depending on the operation direction of the operation lever 31. .

  At this time, for example, when the first cam groove 51 is inclined upward and the second cam groove 53 is inclined downward, the first lock is activated when the operating member 31 is pushed and the slide member 32 is raised. When the pin 36 is retracted (the second lock pin 38 is left protruding) and the operating lever 31 is retracted and the slide member 32 is lowered, the second lock pin 38 is retracted (first operation). One lock pin 36 can be left protruding).

  On the other hand, when the first cam groove 51 is inclined outwardly downward and the second cam groove 53 is inclined upwardly outward, the first lock pin 36 is retracted when the operation lever 31 is pulled down and the slide member 32 is lowered. Is retracted (the second lock pin 38 is left protruding), and the second lock pin 38 is retracted when the slide member 32 is raised by pushing the operating lever 31 (first lock). The pin 36 can be left protruding).

It was made smaller than the inclination angle of the inclined surface of the groove. Thereby, the operation stroke until unlocking when the operation lever 31 is pushed down can be made shorter than the operation stroke until unlocking when the operation lever 31 is pulled in.

  And when humans use tools, it is common to use muscles that bend arms, so retraction operations that bend arms tend to feel easier than push operations that extend arms. . That is, the response felt by the push operation is not sensibly equal to the response felt by the pull-in operation. Therefore, the operation stroke of the push-in operation (feeling difficult to do) is made shorter than the operation stroke of the pull-in operation (feeling easy to do). As a result, it is possible to obtain an operational feeling that is equally felt by humans.

  Further, the opening / closing lid 16 is provided on the front side of the operation lever 31 and a sufficient operation space cannot be secured. Since this can be ensured, the operation stroke can be adjusted in accordance with the space before and after the operation lever 31, which is advantageous in terms of structure.

  (Operation effect 6) A moderation feeling imparting portion for the slide member 32 is provided. Thereby, a moderation feeling can be given when the slide member 32 is raised or lowered by the moderation feeling imparting unit. In addition, since the moderation feeling imparting unit gives a moderation feeling to the up and down movement of the slide member 32, the vertical position of the slide member 32 is restricted, so that the operation lever 31 is indirectly rattled via the slide member 32. It can also be suppressed.

  (Effect 7) The locking device 19 is interposed between the outer panel 91 and the inner panel 92 of the opening / closing lid 16. Thereby, the above-described locking device 19 can be assembled to the opening / closing lid 16 without hindrance.

  (Effect 8) After attaching the inner panel 92 to the outer panel 91, the locking device 19 was attached to the back side of the inner panel 92, and the locking device 19 was covered with the cover member 95. Thereby, the above-described locking device 19 can be assembled to the opening / closing lid 16 without hindrance.
