Except for the case of moving from the inside to the outside of the movement locus, the second lock pin arm 43 is in contact. Therefore, except in this case, the lock release knob 50 is urged toward the vehicle compartment side (vehicle rear side) with respect to the fixing member 20 by the lock spring 44. Therefore, the device 10 is not provided with an urging member only for urging the lock release knob 50, and the number of parts is reduced.

Here, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described.
[When the movable member 30 is in the closed position 30a]
As shown in FIG. 4, the opposite side surface 42 a 1 of the lock pin side engaging portion 42 a of the lock pin 40 abuts (engages) with the side surface 32 c 1 of the arm side engaging portion 32 c, and the lock pin 40. It is locked by. Therefore, the movable member 30 is held at the closed position 30 a with respect to the fixed member 20.

[When opening the movable member 30 in the closed position 30a]
As shown in FIG. 5, the lock release knob 50 is pushed and the second lock pin arm 43 of the lock pin 40 is pushed directly by the lock release knob 50 so that the lock pin 40 resists the urging force of the lock spring 44. Rotate. As a result, the lock pin side engagement portion 42a of the lock pin 40 deviates from the movement locus of the arm side engagement portion 32c of the movable member 30, and the engagement between the lock pin side engagement portion 42a and the arm side engagement portion 32c is performed. Release (the lock by the lock pin 40 is released). As a result, the movable member 30 moves from the closed position 30a to the open position 30b by its own weight (or by its own weight and a biasing force of a biasing member not shown). Further, by releasing the push operation of the lock release knob 50, the lock pin 40 and the lock release knob 50 are returned to the state before the push operation by the urging force of the lock spring 44.

[When closing the movable member 30 in the open position 30b]
As shown in FIG. 6, when the movable member 30 at the open position 30b is lifted and closed by hand, and the movable member 30 reaches just before the closed position 30a, the side surface of the arm side engaging portion 32c opposite to the vehicle compartment 32c2 begins to contact the vehicle compartment side surface 42a2 of the lock pin side engaging portion 42a. When the movable member 30 is further closed, the first lock pin arm is caused by the action of the inclined surfaces of the opposite side surface 32c2 of the arm side engaging portion 32c and the side surface 42a2 of the lock pin side engaging portion 42a. 42 is pushed by the movable member arm 32, and the first lock pin arm 42 moves from the movement locus of the movable member arm 32 to the outside of the movement locus.
When the arm-side engaging portion 32c gets over the lock pin-side engaging portion 42a, the movable member 30 reaches the closed position 30a and before the lock pin 40 is pushed by the arm-side engaging portion 32c by the urging force of the lock spring 44. Return to the state.

  Next, effects of the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, since the lock pin 40 includes the second lock pin arm 43 that is directly pushed by the lock release knob 50 when the lock release knob 50 is operated, the movement of the lock release knob 50 is changed to the lock pin 40. Can communicate directly. Therefore, a remote device such as a motor or a wire for transmitting the movement of the lock release knob 50 to the lock pin 40 is unnecessary. Therefore, the mechanism for unlocking by moving the lock pin 40 can be simplified.

The lock pin 40 is moved by the first lock pin arm 42 because the first lock pin arm 42 is biased by the lock spring 44 in the direction in which the first lock pin arm 42 moves from the movement locus of the movable member arm 32 to the movement locus. The lock pin 40 that restricts the movement of the member 30 to the open position 30b side moves from the movement locus of the movable member arm 32 to the outside of the movement locus against the user's intention, and the movable member 30 opens to the open position 30b. It can suppress moving to the side.

At least one of the movable member arm 32 and the first lock pin arm 42 is configured such that when the movable member 30 is moved from the open position 30b to the closed position 30a, the first lock pin arm 42 is pushed by the movable member arm 32. Inclined surfaces 32c2 and 42a2 are formed for moving the first lock pin arm 42 from the movement locus of the movable member arm 32 to the outside of the movement locus. Therefore, the first lock pin arm 42 can be moved from the movement locus of the movable member arm 32 to the outside of the movement locus only by moving the movable member 30 from the open position 30b to the closed position 30a. Therefore, even when the lock pin 40 is urged by the lock spring 44 in the direction in which the first lock pin arm 42 moves from outside the movement locus of the movable member arm 32 into the movement locus, the movable member 30 is moved. Only by moving from the open position 30b to the closed position 30a, the movable member 30 can be moved from the open position 30b to the closed position 30a by pushing away the first lock pin arm 42.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the case where the inclined surfaces 32c2 and 42a2 are provided on both the movable member arm 32 and the first lock pin arm 42 has been described. However, the inclined surface has the movable member arm 32 and the first lock pin. What is necessary is just to be provided in at least one of the pin arms 42. FIG.
