Title:
COVER LOCK MECHANISM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/006210
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
There has been a problem that when a cover (2) for a box body (1) for storing various control units to be attached to the underside of the floor of a vehicle or the like is left unlocked or imperfectly locked, this is dangerous since the cover (2) will open by itself due to vibrations produced by the traveling vehicle. There is provided a latch (4) which is held by a plate spring (4b) attached to the back of the cover (2) and which is urged from the center of an opening (10) in the box body (1) to the periphery. When the cover (2) opens, a hook (4Y) provided in the latch (4) is caught around the periphery of the opening (10) under the urging force of the plate spring (4b), thereby preventing the cover (2) from further opening. Unfastening the hook (4Y) by inserting a finger through a small clearance makes it possible to freely open he cover (2).
