Lock for a vehicle tail-gate, has a locking lever pivotally mounted on the base plate and connected with a key lock through a key locking rod and a tail-gate latch via a tail-gate latch locking rod

摘要

The base plate (100) has three mounting portions, a connecting flange (40) and two limit flanges. The locking lever (60) is pivotally mounted on the base plate and connected with a key lock through a key locking rod and a tail-gate latch via a tail-gate latch locking rod. The open lever (70) is pivotally mounted on the base plate and connected with a glass latch through a glass locking rod (78) and a glass open handle. It is operated by the glass open handle. The locking lever has a stopper to limit operation of the open lever, and the open lever has a stopper (74) for limiting the operation of the locking lever. A protrusion on the base plate is used to reduce the friction force that occurs when the open lever is pivoted. The protrusion of the locking lever is contacted with the protrusion of the open lever, when the tail-gate is unlocked so that the glass latch can be unlocked.
