As shown in the above drawings, the rear side of the vehicle body 1 serves as a door to allow access of cargo. The tail gate 2 is provided to be opened and closed. Meanwhile, in order to prevent the tail gate 2 from being freely opened and closed behind the vehicle body 1, the tail gate 2 is shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B. The lock 15 is locked to one side of the vehicle body by means of a lock 15, which is a common known means as shown. The lock 15 includes a striker 16 fixed to one side of the vehicle body 1 and a tailgate corresponding to the striker. Latch assembly fixedly installed at one side That is, when the tail gate 2 is closed, the latch assembly 17 provided at the lower portion of the tail gate 2 is locked by the striker 16 provided at the vehicle body 1, thereby locking the tail gate 2. ), The latch assembly 17 is largely elastically mounted to the latch base 18 and the latch base, as shown in detail in FIGS. 7A and 7B. The latch plate 19, the pawl 20 elastically installed by restraining the latch plate to be locked, and the rod 13 forcibly rotating the pawl to release the restraint of the latch plate. As shown in the drawing, a guide groove 18a through which the striker 16 enters is formed, and is rotated by the striker 16 entering through the guide groove near the guide groove 18a, so that the striker 16 is rotated. Will be bound, "U &Quot; Latch plate 19 having a shaped locking groove 19a is provided. At this time, the latch plate 19 is the direction in which the striker 16 is released as shown in Fig. 7A by the spring force of the latch plate (Fig. Up clockwise), but once pushed by the striker 16 and rotated as shown in FIG. 7B, the striker 16 is latched by a pawl 20 that is also elastically installed near the latch plate 19. The pawl 20 is rotated in a direction (counterclockwise in the drawing) such that the latch plate 19 is caught by the pawl 20 by the spring s2 force of the pawl. Since the latch plate 19 rotated toward the pawl 20 by the striker 16 is always caught by the pawl 20 as shown in Fig. 7B. In order to release the striker 16 restrained by 19, the latch plate 19 is first moved to the pawl 20. In order to release the latch plate 19 from the pawl 20, the rod 13 connected to the pawl 20 must be pulled by an external force. When the pulley 13 is pulled, the pole 20 is rotated about the hinge.
