  More specifically, first, the base body 1 is composed of a frame body 1A having a rectangular frame shape and a bottom plate 1B having a similar plate shape, and the frame 1A and the edge of the bottom plate 1B are used to form the floor. By holding the hole edge of the mounting hole drilled in the boat from the inside and outside and fastening it with the screw 5, it is securely fixed to the floor board side.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the former frame 1 </ b> A has a pair of bearing holes into which a common support shaft 6 that supports the handle 2 and the operation plate 3 is fitted on an inner peripheral surface having a rectangular frame shape. In addition to forming the portion 7, a concave groove 8 opened in the direction toward the operation plate 3 on the back side of the operation plate 3 is formed in the middle portion of each bearing hole portion 7. The slit 9 perpendicular to the axial direction is formed in the wall defining the concave groove 8, and the rib 15 of the operation plate 3 described later is inserted into the slit 9. It has a configuration. Further, the latter bottom plate 1B has a configuration in which a bearing portion 10 into which a shaft portion 20 of the lever 4 described later is rotatably fitted is formed near one side of the inner surface.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the handle 2 has a U-shape having a straight grip portion 2A and a pair of arms 2B extending in parallel from both ends of the grip portion 2A. A tapered shape 11 for facilitating the holding is provided, and each arm portion 2B is formed with a bearing hole portion 12 into which the common support shaft 6 is fitted at the tip, and the arm portion 2B is attached to the base body 1 with the arm portion 2B. It is configured to be pivotally supported. In addition, a bulging portion 13 is provided integrally with the arm portion 2B on the side facing the lever 4 out of the pair of arm portions 2B, and a second working rod 19 of the lever 4 described later is provided on the bulging portion 13. Is configured to abut. The handle 2 itself is always urged toward the non-use position by the urging spring pressure of the torsion coil spring 14 mounted on the common support shaft 6.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the operation plate 3 is formed in a size that can be accommodated inside the handle 2 having a U-shape, and is formed with three ribs 15 at intervals on the back surface thereof. A bearing hole 16 for fitting the common support shaft 6 is formed on the base end side of each rib 15, that is, on the same side as the bearing hole 12 of the handle 2, and the base end of the central rib 15 is formed. By entering the slit 9 formed in the wall defining the concave groove 8, the movement of the operation plate 3 in the axial direction is restricted. Therefore, when the operation plate 3 is pivotally supported on the base body 1 via the common support shaft 6, the operation plate 3 is movable on the grip 2 A side of the handle 2.
