第1桿48之另一端部朝箭號L方向(反箭號L方向爲後述 的馬達5 9之驅動力的作用方向)移動時,則第1桿4 8之一 端部是朝與該箭號L方向呈垂直的箭號K方向移動者。 前述緩衝裝置51是具備呈矩形箱狀之前述外殼52、桿 56、及由壓縮螺旋彈簧所構成的彈簧57來構成。在傳動機 構5 6的一端部,形成彈簧承受部5 6a,進一步在此彈簧承 受部56a的一部分,形成朝外殼52外突出之引動器作動部 (actuator operating portion ) 56b (參照第 6圖)° 又此 桿56的另一端部56c是由外殼52突出。前述彈簧57是在壓 縮狀態下設置於前述彈簧承受部56a與外殻52的內面之間 〇 在此緩衝裝置51,當桿56的另一端部56c朝箭號L方 向被拉引時,則通常,如第1 1圖所示,該緩衝裝置51整個 移動使連桿47作動,但在例如連桿47側受到某種理由所鎖 -13- 1242618 (9) 定的情況時,如第1 2圖所示,桿5 6對於外殻5 2相對地抵抗 彈簧5 7的彈力,而朝箭號L方向移動。 在前述桿5 6的另一端部5 6 c,連結有金屬線(w i r e ) 5 8,此金屬線5 8的另一端部是連結於如第6圖所示的驅動 源之例如馬達5 9的未圖示之輸出部。此馬達5 9是配設於內 蓋10之轉動軸12a附近部位。又,此馬達59是由齒輪馬達 (geared motor )所構成者,輸出部是以低速·高轉矩( h i g h t 〇 r q u e )旋轉。然後,此馬達5 9的電力供給用導線 5 9 a是如第7圖所示,由內蓋1 0的導線導出部(1 e a d' w i r e lead -out portion) 10a導出。即,電力供給用導線59a是 由轉動軸1 2a部分導出至外部。此馬達59是當通點時則旋 轉,根據該旋轉捲繞前述金屬線5 8。 在前述內蓋1 〇之金屬線5 8的途中部,藉由托架( bracket) 61安裝經路變換用滑輪(pulley) 60,前述金屬 線5 8是經由此滑輪6 0的上部。在前述托架6 1,於上端部, 形成由用來防止由前述金屬線58的滑輪60脫離之水平狀片 部所構成的制動部6 1 a。 又,在前述緩衝裝置5 1之箭號L方向側的部分,設有 用來檢測關閉構件之按壓構件44的關閉動作的滾筒蓋用關 閉檢測手段之微動開關62 (參照第6圖),這是其引動器 62a在箭號L方向與前述緩衝裝置51之引動器作動部56b 相對向。當前述緩衝裝置5 1受到馬達59所移動至如第1 ]圖 所示的位置時,即按壓構件44關閉滾筒蓋16時,藉由引動 器作動部5 6b導通(ON )微動開關62,藉此檢測按壓構件 1242618 (10) 44之關閉動作,以此檢測來檢測滾筒蓋1 6之關閉。根據此 微動開關62導通,將前述馬達59斷電,當馬達59被斷電時 ,則由於解除對於朝按壓構件44之連桿47的按壓力,故按 壓構件44可藉由彈簧46返回到原來的狀態(參照第1圖) 〇 在第7圖,在內蓋10的蓋外板11,形成工具插通孔63 ,在此工具插通孔6 3的內側,如第1 3及1 4圖所示,設有解 除桿(unlock lever ) 64,在此解除桿64的一端部下面, 形成在前端具有彈性爪部64a之插入軸部64b,其是可轉 動地插通於形成在蓋內板1 2之轂部(b 〇 s s ) 6 5,藉由彈性 爪部64a來防止脫落。解除桿64是另一端部64c可朝箭號 Μ方向轉動。且,在此解除桿6 4的一端部的轉動中心上面 ,形成支柱部64d,在其上端形成螺旋旋轉用溝槽64e。此 解除桿64的上端部是可轉動地嵌合於前述工具插通孔63, 螺旋旋轉用溝槽6 4 e是由此工具插通孔6 3面臨於外部。 前述解除桿64之另一端部64c是經由解除用金屬線66 連結於前述內蓋鎖定裝置13的鎖定解除體36之下部。再者 ,解除用金屬線66是藉由方向變換構件67a、67b:適宜地 變換方向。 如第1 3圖所示,當由內蓋1 〇外部藉由例如螺絲起子( driver ) 68將解除桿64朝箭號Μ方向轉動操作時,則鎖定 解除體3 6朝反箭號G方向轉動,形成鎖定體3 7可對於棘 輪14解除卡合。 再者,前述滾筒蓋]6在旋轉停止時,其開口部15c與 -15- 1242618 (11) 前述水槽8的開口部8 a —致地加以定位。 其次說明關於前述結構的作用。在第1圖,顯示關閉 滾筒蓋1 6,且受到滾筒蓋鎖定手段1 9所鎖定,內蓋1 〇被內 蓋鎖定裝置1 3鎖定著之狀態。 在由此狀態打開內蓋1 0時的情況時,使用者握持手把 2 6的握持部2 8 b之全周外面朝箭號D方向轉動操作。於是 ’藉由凸部27b朝箭號D’方向轉動使得桿31朝反箭號E方 向轉動,而桿3 3朝反箭號F方向移動。藉此,鎖定解除承 受部23被按壓,輔助板16b的鎖定片21由被鎖定孔22脫離 ,解除滾筒蓋1 6的關閉狀態之鎖定。在解除後,滾筒蓋i 6 的蓋主板1 6a藉由未圖示的彈簧朝箭號B方向轉動,.抵接 於內蓋1 〇的內面(參照第8圖)。 又,藉由桿31朝反箭號E方向的轉動,使鎖定解除體 3 6朝反箭號G方向轉動,制動部3 6b由鎖定體3 7的被制動 部3 7b脫離,容許鎖定體37朝箭號Η方向的轉動(參照第 8圖)。在此狀態,內蓋1 0尙未進行開放動作。 當由此第8圖的狀態,如第9圖所示地打開內蓋1 〇時, 則被朝箭號Η方向轉動彈推之鎖定體3 7 —邊朝該方向旋 轉一邊由棘輪1 4脫離。然後,進一步打開內蓋〗〇則形成第 4圖的狀態。 在由此第4圖的狀態關閉內蓋1 0的情狀時,將內蓋1 〇 朝箭號A ’方向(箭號Α方向)關閉操作。當經過關閉途 中的第9圖之狀態,進一步進行關閉操作時,則鎖定體3 7 的鎖定溝槽37a之上邊部37c與棘輪14遭遇後朝反箭號Η 1242618 (12) 方向轉動,如第1 〇圖所示,鎖定體3 7的鎖定溝槽3 7 a對於 棘輪14加以嵌合。此時,藉由鎖定體37的被制動部37b通 過鎖定解除體3 6的制動部3 6b,使得鎖定解除體3 6朝箭號 G方向轉動,鎖定解除體36的制動部36b與被制動部37b 卡合。其結果,內蓋1 0的關閉被鎖定。此時,銷4 0受到鎖 定解除體36的銷按壓部36c所朝反箭號I方向按壓移動, 而將中間銷42朝反箭號J方向推壓。藉此,微動開關4 1被 導通(ON ),檢測內蓋1 〇之關閉。 藉由此微動開關4 1導通(ON ),通電驅動馬達5 9,· 經由金屬線5 8及緩衝裝置5 1,將連桿4 7的第1桿4 8朝箭號 L方向拉引。藉此,第1桿4 8的一端部朝與箭號L方向呈 垂直的方向動作。藉此,按壓構件4 4朝箭號K方向移動 (參照第1 1圖)。 藉由此按壓構件4 4之移動,滾筒蓋1 6的蓋主板1 6 a按 壓於輔助板1 6b。此時,蓋主板1 6 a的最前端部1 6 d形成暫 時乘載於輔助板16b的鎖定解除承受部23之狀態,進一步 按壓,則最前端部1 6 d落下到鎖定解除承受部2 3下側,此 時輔助板1 6 b的鎖定片2 1卡合於被鎖定孔2 2。 當已朝箭號L方向移動之前述緩衝裝置5 ;[的引動器作 動部56b按壓微動開關62的引動器62a時,導通而檢測按 壓構件4 4之關閉動作,根據此檢測,來檢測滾筒蓋I 6之關 閉。根據此檢測將馬達5 9斷電,形成如第1圖所示的狀態 〇 若根據如此的本實施例的話,具有輸出關閉滾筒蓋j 6 -17- 1242618 (13) 的驅動力之馬達5 9,設置根據此馬達5 9的動作自動關閉前 述滾筒蓋1 6之滾筒蓋自動關閉裝置4 3 °藉此’不須麻煩使 用者的手而可自動地進行滾筒蓋1 6之關閉’提昇實用性, 並且能確實地關閉滾筒蓋1 6。 又,若根據本實施例的話,由於在內蓋1〇設置馬達59 ,故容易進行導線5 9 a的配線。 特別是由於將馬達59設置於內蓋10的轉動軸12a附近 ,故能夠縮小打開內蓋1 0所需之操作力。 又,在滾筒蓋自動關閉裝置43,由於藉由連桿47將馬 達5 9的驅動力之作用方向變換成大致垂直後傳達至按壓構 件44,故能夠以小的空間(space )變換動力傳達方向, 因此能有助於內蓋1 0之薄型化。 且,由於設置金屬線5 8作爲由馬達5 9對於連桿4 7之動 力傳達構件,故在馬達59的配置位置設定上具有自由度。 又’若根據本實施例的話,由於設置檢測滾筒蓋自動 關閉裝置4 3的關閉動作之微動開關6
