The support frame 214 is provided with a stopper 218 for restricting the counterclockwise rotation end of the catcher 210 due to the elastic force of the coil spring 212, and the coil spring 212. A stopper 219 is provided for restricting the clockwise rotation end of the engaging member 211 by the elastic force.

  When the striker 209 is detached from the guide recess 213 as shown in FIG. 16, the catcher 210 rotates to the rotation restricting end that contacts the stopper 218 by the elastic force of the coil spring 212. In the state, the opening end of the engaging recess 215 is at a position facing the guide recess 213. In addition, a locking step portion 210a facing the front side along the rotation biasing direction (counterclockwise direction in FIGS. 15 and 16) by the elastic force of the coil spring 212 is provided on the portion of the catcher 210 on the engaging member 211 side. The engaging member 211 is provided with an engaging protrusion 211a that restricts the rotation of the catcher 210 in the rotation biasing direction of the catcher 210 by engaging with the locking step portion 210a. Provided.

  Thus, when the striker 209 is detached from the guide recess 213 as shown in FIG. 16 with no unlocking force applied to the engaging member 211, the engaging member 211 is engaged with the engaging step of the engaging protrusion 211a. When the engagement with the portion 210 a is released and the catcher 210 moves from the position indicated by the striker 209 to the position where it enters the guide recess 213 as shown in FIG. 15, the catcher 210 moves to the engagement protrusion 211 a of the engagement member 211. By abutting, the engaging member 211 is moved counterclockwise against the elastic force of the coil spring 212, thereby getting over the engaging protrusion 211a. Thus, after the catcher 210 gets over the engaging protrusion 211a, the engaging member 211 is rotated clockwise by the elastic force of the coil spring 212 to contact the stopper 219, and the engaging protrusion 211a is It engages with the locking step portion 210a of the catcher 210. In this state, an external force in the opening direction is applied to the storage case 193, and the engagement protrusion 211a is engaged with the locking step portion 210a even if the catcher 210 is rotated counterclockwise via the striker 209.

The fully closed state of 193 is locked by the case lock mechanism 208.

  In order to release the locked state of the case lock mechanism 208, it is only necessary to apply an unlocking force to the engaging member 211 so that the engaging member 211 is rotated away from the stopper 219, that is, counterclockwise. The force is applied from the first electric actuator 221 via the transmission cable 220 connected to the engaging member 211.

  The first electric actuator 221 exhibits unlocking force in the direction of pulling the transmission cable 220 during its operation, and when the transmission cable 220 is pulled by the first electric actuator 221 while the case lock mechanism 208 is locked. The engaging member 211 rotates the catcher 210 in the clockwise direction against the elastic force of the coil spring 212, and counterclockwise so that the engaging protrusion 211a gets over the locking step part 210a. When the engaging projection 211a rotates over the locking step 210a, the catcher 210 pushes the striker 209 toward the side away from the guide recess 213 as shown in FIG. 16 by the spring force of the coil spring 212. Then, it rotates counterclockwise and comes into contact with the stopper 218.

  That is, by operating the first electric actuator 221 in the locked state of the case lock mechanism 208, the lock release force acts on the case lock mechanism 208 to release the lock state, and the striker 209, that is, the storage case 193, The spring force of the coil spring 212 is slightly pushed out from the fully closed position to the open side.
