The upright plate 25 extends in the vehicle width direction. A mounting hole 26 of the first pivotal support portion 4 made of a hinge pin or the like is formed. A stopper member 27 facing the rear surface of the protrusion 17 provided on the side plate 9 of the hood side bracket 7 is provided on the upper surface of the front end portion of the mounting substrate 24 together with the mounting substrate 24 by a mounting bolt (not shown). It is fixed to the vehicle body side member (front fender 2), and is configured such that rearward displacement of the protrusion 17 provided on the hood side bracket 7 is restricted by the stopper member 27.

そして、通常には、上記リンク部材5の中央部に設けられた係止部材8が、上記フード側ブラケット7に設けられたガイド部16の前端位置(規制位置)に係止されることにより、リンク部材5の中間部とフード1の後部とが一体に連結されるとともに、リンク部材5の先端部とフード側ブラケット7の前端部とが上記第2枢支部13により一体に連結された状態で、ヒンジブラケット3に設けられた第1枢支部4を支点としてフード1の開閉操作が行われる。   Usually, the locking member 8 provided at the center of the link member 5 is locked at the front end position (regulation position) of the guide portion 16 provided at the hood side bracket 7. While the intermediate portion of the link member 5 and the rear portion of the hood 1 are integrally connected, the front end portion of the link member 5 and the front end portion of the hood side bracket 7 are integrally connected by the second pivotal support portion 13. The opening / closing operation of the hood 1 is performed with the first pivotal support 4 provided on the hinge bracket 3 as a fulcrum.

すなわち、上記係止部材8およびガイド部16からなる規制手段により、上記第2枢支部13を支点としてフード1からリンク部材5が離間するのを規制した状態で、フード1の前端部に設けられた図外のロック機構によるフード1のロック状態を解除した後、図1および図7に示す閉止位置にあるフード1の前端部を上方に押し上げることにより、図8に示すように、第1枢支部4を支点に上記リンク部材5の先端部を上昇させる方向に揺動変位させてフード1を開放状態に移行させることができる。また、上記規制手段を介してフード1の後部とリンク部材5とを一体に連結した状態でフード1を規制位置に係止することにより、車両の走行時にフード1の後部が上下動するのを規制してフード1を安定したロック状態に係止することができる。   That is, it is provided at the front end of the hood 1 in a state in which the link member 5 is separated from the hood 1 with the second pivotal support portion 13 as a fulcrum by the restricting means including the locking member 8 and the guide portion 16. After releasing the locked state of the hood 1 by a lock mechanism (not shown), the front end portion of the hood 1 in the closed position shown in FIGS. 1 and 7 is pushed upward, as shown in FIG. The hood 1 can be shifted to the open state by swinging and displacing the tip of the link member 5 in the direction of raising the support member 4 as a fulcrum. In addition, the rear portion of the hood 1 is moved up and down when the vehicle is running by locking the hood 1 at the restriction position in a state where the rear portion of the hood 1 and the link member 5 are integrally connected via the restriction means. By restricting, the hood 1 can be locked in a stable locked state.

また、車両の走行時に車体の前端部が障害物に当接したことが図外のセンサにより検出された場合には、図9に示すように、リンク部材5の下方に配設された押上駆動手段31のインフレータ等が作動して伸縮押動部32が伸長状態となり、上記リンク部材5の上面板21が上方に付勢されることにより、上記第1枢支部4を支点としてリンク部材5の先端部が上方に押し上げられるとともに、前端のロック部を支点としてフード1の後部が上方に押し上げられる。この結果、上記リンク部材5に設けられた係止部材8が、フード側ブラケット7のガイド部16に沿ってその開口端部側(車体の後方側)にスライド変位することにより係止部材8がガイド部16から離脱し、上記第2枢支部13を支点にリンク部材5がフード1から離間する方向に揺動変位することが許容される。 Further, when it is detected by a sensor (not shown) that the front end of the vehicle body is in contact with an obstacle when the vehicle is running, as shown in FIG. 9, the push-up drive disposed below the link member 5 The inflator or the like of the means 31 is actuated so that the telescopic pushing portion 32 is in an extended state, and the upper surface plate 21 of the link member 5 is biased upward, so that the link member 5 has the first pivot portion 4 as a fulcrum. The front end portion is pushed upward, and the rear portion of the hood 1 is pushed upward with the lock portion at the front end as a fulcrum. As a result, the locking member 8 provided on the link member 5 slides and displaces along the guide portion 16 of the hood side bracket 7 toward the opening end side (rear side of the vehicle body), so that the locking member 8 is moved. The link member 5 is allowed to oscillate and displace in the direction away from the hood 1 with the second pivotal support portion 13 as a fulcrum.

上記のようにしてフード1の前端部がロック手段により閉止位置に係止されつつ、押上駆動手段31の付勢力に応じ、上記第1枢支部4を支点としてリンク部材5が揺動変位することが許容されるため、図9および図10に示すように、フード1の後部が押し上げられるとともに、上記第2枢支部13がリンク部材5の長孔からなるガイド溝部22に沿って車体の前方側にスライド変位しつつ、上記第1枢支部4を支点としてリンク部材5が揺動変位することによりその先端部が所定位置まで上昇する。   While the front end of the hood 1 is locked at the closed position by the locking means as described above, the link member 5 swings and displaces with the first pivotal support 4 as a fulcrum according to the urging force of the push-up drive 31. 9 and FIG. 10, the rear portion of the hood 1 is pushed up, and the second pivotal support portion 13 is located on the front side of the vehicle body along the guide groove portion 22 formed of a long hole of the link member 5. As the link member 5 swings and displaces with the first pivotal support 4 as a fulcrum while being slid, the distal end of the link rises to a predetermined position.

次いで、上記押上駆動手段31により押し上げられたフード1の後部を下方に押圧すると、上記第2枢支部13を介してフード側ブラケット7の前端部とリンク部材5の先端部とが連結された状態で、このリンク部材5によりフード1の後部が支持されつつ下方に移動するとともに、これに対応して上記第1枢支部4を支点にリンク部材5が揺動変位することにより、リンク部材5の先端部が図1に示す初期位置に下降する。このようにしてフード1およびリンク部材5がそれぞれ初期位置に下降すると、車幅方向に延びる上記係止部材8がガイド部16の開口端部からガイド部16内に導入されて車体の前部上方側に案内されることにより、上記係止部材8およびガイド部16からなる規制手段を介してリンク部材5がフード1の後部に一体に連結された状態に復帰する。   Next, when the rear portion of the hood 1 pushed up by the push-up driving means 31 is pressed downward, the front end portion of the hood side bracket 7 and the tip end portion of the link member 5 are connected via the second pivotal support portion 13. The link member 5 moves downward while the rear portion of the hood 1 is supported, and the link member 5 swings and displaces with the first pivotal support portion 4 as a fulcrum corresponding thereto. The tip end portion is lowered to the initial position shown in FIG. When the hood 1 and the link member 5 are respectively lowered to the initial position in this way, the locking member 8 extending in the vehicle width direction is introduced into the guide portion 16 from the opening end portion of the guide portion 16 and is located above the front portion of the vehicle body. By being guided to the side, the link member 5 returns to a state in which the link member 5 is integrally connected to the rear portion of the hood 1 via the restricting means including the locking member 8 and the guide portion 16.

上記のように車体の前部に配設されて開閉可能に支持されたフード1と、車体に設けられた第1枢支部4を支点として揺動可能に枢支されリンク部材5とを備え、このリンク部材5に設けられた係止部材8と、フード側ブラケット7に設けられたガイド部16とからなる規制手段により上記リンク部材5がフード1から離間する方向に揺動変位するのを規制するように構成したため、通常時には、フード1の後部をリンク部材5に連結した状態で、ヒンジブラケット3に設けられた第1枢支部4を支点としてフード1の開閉操作をスムーズに行うことができるとともに、車両の走行時には、フード1の後部が上下動するのを防止してフード1を安定したロック状態に保持できるという利点がある。   The hood 1 disposed at the front of the vehicle body as described above and supported so as to be opened and closed, and the link member 5 pivotally supported by the first pivotal support portion 4 provided on the vehicle body as a fulcrum, The restricting means including the locking member 8 provided on the link member 5 and the guide portion 16 provided on the hood side bracket 7 restricts the link member 5 from swinging and moving in a direction away from the hood 1. Therefore, in a normal state, the hood 1 can be opened and closed smoothly with the first pivotal support 4 provided on the hinge bracket 3 as a fulcrum while the rear portion of the hood 1 is connected to the link member 5. At the same time, when the vehicle is running, there is an advantage that the rear portion of the hood 1 can be prevented from moving up and down to keep the hood 1 in a stable locked state.

そして、車体の前端部が障害物に当接する衝突事故が発生した場合には、上記押上駆動手段31を作動させてリンク部材5を上方に付勢することにより、上記係止部材8をガイド部16から離脱させてリンク部材5とフード1との連結状態を解除することができる。したがって、図9および図10に示すように、上記押上駆動手段31の付勢力に応じてフード1の後部を上昇させることにより、上記障害物がフード1上に倒れ込んだ場合等におけるフード1の下降量を充分に確保し、このフード1を変形させて障害物に作用する衝撃荷重等を効果的に緩和できるという利点がある。   When a collision accident occurs in which the front end portion of the vehicle body comes into contact with an obstacle, the push-up drive means 31 is operated to urge the link member 5 upward, whereby the locking member 8 is guided to the guide portion. The connection state between the link member 5 and the hood 1 can be released by detaching from the link 16. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the hood 1 is lowered when the obstacle falls on the hood 1 by raising the rear portion of the hood 1 in accordance with the urging force of the push-up driving means 31. There is an advantage that a sufficient amount can be secured and the impact load or the like acting on the obstacle can be effectively reduced by deforming the hood 1.

しかも、衝突事故の発生後には、上記のように上昇したフード1の後部を下方に押圧して上記フード側ブラケット7およびリンク部材5を初期位置に下降させることにより、上記係止部材8をガイド部16に沿って車体の前部上方側、つまり規制位置にスライド変位させて係止することができるため、新たな連結部材を使用して上記リンク部材5とフード側ブラケット7とを連結する等の繁雑な作業を要することなく、容易に元の状態に復帰させることができる。したがって、上記衝突事故の発生時に押上駆動手段31が作動状態となり、または押上駆動手段31に誤作動が生じることにより、後端部が上昇したフード1を元の状態に復帰させた後、車両を走行させる際において、フード1の後部が上下動するのを上記規制手段により規制してフード1を安定したロック状態に保持することにより、車両の走行時にフード1のがたつきが発生するのを簡単な構成で効果的に防止できるという利点がある。   In addition, after the occurrence of the collision accident, the rear portion of the hood 1 raised as described above is pressed downward to lower the hood side bracket 7 and the link member 5 to the initial position, thereby guiding the locking member 8. Since it can be slid to the front upper side of the vehicle body along the portion 16, that is, can be locked by being displaced to the restriction position, the link member 5 and the hood side bracket 7 are connected using a new connecting member, etc. It is possible to easily return to the original state without requiring complicated work. Therefore, the push-up drive means 31 is activated when the collision accident occurs, or a malfunction occurs in the push-up drive means 31 so that the hood 1 with the rear end raised is returned to the original state, and then the vehicle is When the vehicle is traveling, the rear portion of the hood 1 is moved up and down by the regulating means, and the hood 1 is held in a stable locked state. There is an advantage that it can be effectively prevented with a simple configuration.

また、上記実施形態では、ガイド部16の一端を開口するとともに、この開口端を介してガイド部16内に係止部材8を係脱するように構成したため、簡単かつコンパクトな構成で上記係止部材8およびガイド部16からなる規制手段によりリンク部材5がフード1から離間する方向に揺動変位するのを規制した状態と、この規制を解除した状態とに容易に変位させることができるという利点がある。   Moreover, in the said embodiment, since it comprised so that the locking member 8 might be engaged / disengaged in the guide part 16 via this opening end while opening the end of the guide part 16, it is the said latching by simple and compact structure. Advantage that the link member 5 can be easily displaced between a state where the link member 5 swings and displaces in a direction away from the hood 1 and a state where the restriction is released by the restricting means including the member 8 and the guide portion 16. There is.

すなわち、図1に示す係止部材8の規制位置から、図9に示す規制解除位置まで延びる長孔からなるガイド部を設け、このガイド部(長孔)に沿って上記係止部材8をスライド変位させることにより、リンク部材5がフード1から離間する方向に揺動変位するのを規制した状態と、この規制を解除した状態とに変位させるように構成することも可能であるが、このように構成した場合には、上記長孔からなるガイド部が形成されるフード側ブラケット7の寸法が大きくなることが避けられない。これに対して上記のようにガイド部16の一端を開口するとともに、この開口端を介してガイド部16内に係止部材8を係脱するように構成した場合には、上記ガイド部16が形成されるフード側ブラケット7が大型化するのを防止しつつ、上記係止部材8をガイド部16の前部上端に係止した位置から、ガイド部16外の規制解除位置とに容易に移行させることができる。なお、上記切欠き溝からなるガイド部16に代えて、車体の外方側に凹入する凹溝を設け、車幅方向に延びる上記係合ピンからなる係止部材8の側端部を上記凹溝内に係脱可能に係止するようにしてもよい。   That is, a guide portion comprising a long hole extending from the restriction position of the locking member 8 shown in FIG. 1 to the restriction release position shown in FIG. 9 is provided, and the locking member 8 is slid along the guide portion (long hole). By displacing, the link member 5 can be configured to be displaced between a state in which the link member 5 is rocked and displaced in a direction away from the hood 1 and a state in which the restriction is released. In the case of the configuration, it is inevitable that the size of the hood side bracket 7 in which the guide portion composed of the long hole is formed is increased. On the other hand, when the one end of the guide portion 16 is opened as described above and the locking member 8 is engaged and disengaged in the guide portion 16 via the opening end, the guide portion 16 is While preventing the formed hood side bracket 7 from increasing in size, it easily shifts from the position where the locking member 8 is locked to the upper end of the front portion of the guide portion 16 to the restriction release position outside the guide portion 16. Can be made. In place of the guide portion 16 formed of the notch groove, a concave groove is provided to be recessed on the outer side of the vehicle body, and the side end portion of the locking member 8 formed of the engagement pin extending in the vehicle width direction is provided as described above. You may make it latch in a recessed groove so that engagement / disengagement is possible.

さらに、上記実施形態に示すように、ガイド部16のガイド幅(溝幅)を、その開口側端部に向かうにしたがって増大させるように構成した場合には、上記係止部材8をガイド部16の規制位置(車体の前部上方位置)にスライド変位させることにより、係止部材8のがたつきを防止してリンク部材5をフード側ブラケット7の後部に安定して係止させることができるとともに、上記係止部材8を、図9に示す規制解除位置から図1に示す規制位置に移行させる際に、上記ガイド部16内に係止部材8をスムーズに導入させることができるという利点がある。   Further, as shown in the above embodiment, when the guide width (groove width) of the guide portion 16 is configured to increase toward the opening side end portion, the locking member 8 is connected to the guide portion 16. By sliding and displacing to the restricting position (upper front position of the vehicle body), rattling of the locking member 8 can be prevented and the link member 5 can be stably locked to the rear portion of the hood side bracket 7. In addition, there is an advantage that the locking member 8 can be smoothly introduced into the guide portion 16 when the locking member 8 is moved from the restriction release position shown in FIG. 9 to the restriction position shown in FIG. is there.

また、上記実施形態では、リンク部材5の一端部(基端部)を第1枢支部4により車体に枢支するとともに、リンク部材5の他端部(先端部)を第2枢支部13によりフード1(具体的にはフード側ブラケット7)に枢支し、この第2枢支部13を支点にリンク部材5が揺動変位してフード1から離間するのを上記規制手段により規制するように構成したため、上記衝突事故の発生時にリンク部材5の中間部とフード側ブラケット7の後端部との連結状態を適正に解除することができるとともに、連結解除状態となったリンク部材5の中間部とフード側ブラケット7の後端部とを元の状態に復帰させる作業を容易に行うことができる。   In the above embodiment, one end portion (base end portion) of the link member 5 is pivotally supported on the vehicle body by the first pivotal support portion 4, and the other end portion (tip end portion) of the link member 5 is pivoted by the second pivotal support portion 13. The hood 1 (specifically, the hood side bracket 7) is pivotally supported, and the second pivotal support portion 13 is used as a fulcrum so that the link member 5 swings and displaces away from the hood 1 by the restriction means. Since it comprised, when the said collision accident generate | occur | produced, while the connection state of the intermediate part of the link member 5 and the rear-end part of the hood side bracket 7 can be cancelled | released appropriately, the intermediate part of the link member 5 used as the connection cancellation | release state And the rear end of the hood side bracket 7 can be easily returned to the original state.

すなわち、上記第2枢支部13を省略し、リンク部材5の先端部側面に設けられた凹部にフード側ブラケット7の前端部側面に設けられた突部を圧入する等により、リンク部材5をフード側ブラケット7に連結してフード1からリンク部材5が離間するのを規制した状態と、リンク部材5とフード側ブラケット7とを完全に離間させた状態とに変位させるように構成することも可能であるが、このように構成した場合には、リンク部材5から離間したフード1の跳ね上がりを防止するためのワイヤー部材等を設ける必要があるとともに、連結解除状態となったリンク部材5とフード側ブラケット7とを位置決めしつつ、両者を一体に連結するという煩雑な作業が必要である。   That is, the second pivot portion 13 is omitted, and the link member 5 is attached to the hood by, for example, press-fitting a protrusion provided on the side surface of the front end portion of the hood side bracket 7 into a recess portion provided on the side surface of the front end portion of the link member 5. It is also possible to configure to displace the link member 5 and the hood side bracket 7 from being completely separated from each other by connecting to the side bracket 7 and restricting the separation of the link member 5 from the hood 1. However, in the case of such a configuration, it is necessary to provide a wire member or the like for preventing the hood 1 separated from the link member 5 from jumping up, and the link member 5 and the hood side which are in the disconnected state are provided. While positioning the bracket 7, a complicated operation of connecting the two together is necessary.

これに対して上記のようにリンク部材5の先端部を第2枢支部13によりフード側ブラケット7に枢支した場合には、この第2枢支部13を支点に上記フード側ブラケット7を揺動変位させてリンク部材5から離間させる方向に付勢することにより、上記係止部材8のガイド部16からスムーズに離脱させることができるとともに、上記第2枢支部13によりフード1およびフード側ブラケット7とリンク部材5との連結状態を維持してフード1の跳ね上がり等を防止できるという利点がある。   On the other hand, when the distal end portion of the link member 5 is pivotally supported on the hood side bracket 7 by the second pivotal support portion 13 as described above, the hood side bracket 7 is swung around the second pivotal support portion 13 as a fulcrum. By displacing and biasing in a direction away from the link member 5, the locking member 8 can be smoothly detached from the guide portion 16, and the hood 1 and the hood side bracket 7 can be separated by the second pivotal support portion 13. There is an advantage that the hood 1 can be prevented from jumping up by maintaining the connection state between the hood 1 and the link member 5.

さらに、上記実施形態では、リンク部材5に、車体の前部下方側に延びる長孔からなるガイド溝部22を設けるとともに、フード1側に設けられた車幅方向に延びる連結ピンからなる第2枢支部13を上記ガイド溝部22に沿って摺動可能に支持するように構成したため、上記押上駆動手段31の付勢力に応じてフード1の後端部を上昇させる際に、上記第2枢支部13をガイド溝部22に沿ってスライド変位させることにより、前端部を支点にフード1を揺動変位させてフード1の後端部を上昇させるとともに、第1枢支部4を支点にしてリンク部材5を揺動変位させてリンク部材5の先端部を上昇させる動作をスムーズに行わせることができる。しかも、フード1の後端部を上昇位置から下降させて初期状態に移行させる際に、上記係止部材8の移動軌跡を安定させて上記ガイド部16内に係止部材8を確実に導入させることができるという利点がある。   Further, in the above-described embodiment, the link member 5 is provided with the guide groove portion 22 formed of a long hole extending to the lower front side of the vehicle body, and the second pivot formed of the connecting pin provided in the vehicle width direction provided on the hood 1 side. Since the support portion 13 is configured to be slidably supported along the guide groove portion 22, when the rear end portion of the hood 1 is raised in accordance with the urging force of the push-up drive means 31, the second pivot support portion 13. Is slid along the guide groove 22 to oscillate and displace the hood 1 with the front end as a fulcrum, and raise the rear end of the hood 1, and the link member 5 with the first pivot 4 as a fulcrum. The operation of swinging and displacing the tip of the link member 5 can be smoothly performed. Moreover, when the rear end portion of the hood 1 is lowered from the raised position and shifted to the initial state, the movement locus of the locking member 8 is stabilized and the locking member 8 is reliably introduced into the guide portion 16. There is an advantage that you can.

また、上記実施形態では、フード側ブラケット7に設けられたガイド部16に、下方へ突出する突出部17を設けるとともに、この突出部17の後方変位を規制するストッパ部材27を車体側に設けたため、前突事故の発生時に作用する衝撃荷重に応じてフード1を車体の後方側に押動された場合に、上記突出部17がストッパ部材27に当接した時点でフード1の後退を規制することができる。したがって、上記前突事故の発生時に、フード1がフロントガラスに当接してフロントガラスが損傷するという事態の発生を、簡単な構成で効果的に防止できるという利点がある。特に、上記実施形態に示すように、突出部17の下端部に、車体の後方に向けて突出する係止片18を設けた場合には、上記前突事故の発生時に、ストッパ部材27により突出部17の上方移動を規制することにより、フード1の後端部が浮き上がるという事態の発生を確実に防止できるという利点がある。   Further, in the above embodiment, the guide portion 16 provided on the hood side bracket 7 is provided with the protruding portion 17 protruding downward, and the stopper member 27 for restricting the rearward displacement of the protruding portion 17 is provided on the vehicle body side. When the hood 1 is pushed to the rear side of the vehicle body according to the impact load that acts when the front collision accident occurs, the backward movement of the hood 1 is restricted when the protrusion 17 contacts the stopper member 27. be able to. Therefore, there is an advantage that it is possible to effectively prevent the occurrence of a situation in which the hood 1 comes into contact with the windshield and the windshield is damaged when the front collision occurs. In particular, as shown in the above embodiment, when the locking piece 18 that protrudes toward the rear of the vehicle body is provided at the lower end of the protruding portion 17, it protrudes by the stopper member 27 when the front collision accident occurs. By restricting the upward movement of the portion 17, there is an advantage that it is possible to reliably prevent the occurrence of a situation in which the rear end portion of the hood 1 is lifted.

なお、車体に設けられた押上駆動手段31によりリンク部材5を上方に付勢してフード1の後部を強制的に押し上げるように駆動するように構成した上記実施形態に代え、衝突時に作用する衝撃荷重の反力に応じてフード1の後部を自動的に上昇させて上記係止部材8をガイド部16の規制位置から離間させるように構成することも可能である。しかし、上記実施形態のように車体の前端部が障害物に当接する衝突事故が発生した場合に、上記押上駆動手段31を作動させてリンク部材5を上方に付勢する等により、上記係止部材8をガイド部16の規制位置から離間させるように構成した場合には、リンク部材5とフード側ブラケット7との連結状態を容易かつ適正に解除できるという利点がある。   Instead of the above-described embodiment in which the link member 5 is urged upward by the push-up drive means 31 provided on the vehicle body and the rear portion of the hood 1 is forcibly pushed up, the impact acting at the time of the collision is replaced. The rear portion of the hood 1 can be automatically raised according to the reaction force of the load so that the locking member 8 is separated from the restricting position of the guide portion 16. However, when a collision accident occurs such that the front end of the vehicle body abuts on an obstacle as in the above-described embodiment, the above-described locking is performed by operating the push-up driving means 31 to urge the link member 5 upward. When the member 8 is configured to be separated from the restriction position of the guide portion 16, there is an advantage that the connected state between the link member 5 and the hood side bracket 7 can be easily and appropriately released.

また、図11に示すように、フード側ブラケット7に設けられた車幅方向に延びる係合ピン等からなる係止部材8aと、リンク部材5の側板20等に形成された車体の後部下方側に延びる切欠き溝等からなるガイド部16aとにより、上記リンク部材5がフード1から離間するのを規制する規制手段を構成してもよい。この場合、上記係止部材8aに下方へ突出する突出部を設け、この突出部の後方変位をストッパ部材27により規制するように構成することが好ましい。   Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the rear lower side of the vehicle body formed on the locking member 8 a formed of an engaging pin or the like provided in the hood side bracket 7 extending in the vehicle width direction, the side plate 20 of the link member 5, and the like. A restricting means for restricting the link member 5 from being separated from the hood 1 may be constituted by a guide portion 16a formed of a notch groove or the like extending in the direction. In this case, it is preferable that the locking member 8 a is provided with a protruding portion that protrudes downward, and the rearward displacement of the protruding portion is restricted by the stopper member 27.
