As disclosed in the prior art, the cover may be configured to receive the cap from the converter latched position to the unlocked position of the actuator. The drive mechanism for actuating the latch between the latched and unlocked states. Radial side portion 22 is configured to preferentially radially projecting between the transition portion and the base circle surface of convergence by a cam shape.
[0022]Both of the passive indicator 3b and the active indicator 3a extend in the center axis 21, the passive indicator 3b rotates about the distal end 3b-3 and the active indicator 3a of the passive indicator 3b rut to the active indication. The distal 3a-3 of the rotation of the 3A rut to each other is adjacent, so that the active indicator and the passive indicator are remote from the one end of the center of the self-supporting, and the passive indicator 3b is provided on the passive indicator 3b. The positions 3b-1 extending circumferentially circumferentially circumferentially in the center axis 21, which is sliding along the radial side convex portion 22, and then reaches the active indicator and the passive indicator synchronous open, let the position 3B-1 can be taken to the radial side convex portion 22, the cover 2 rotates from the latch position to the unlocked position, the radial side convex portion 22 can slide out of the cam mating surface 3a-1 and enter the passive indicator The bit 3b-1 of 3B is located, and the bit portion 3b-1 and the radial side convex portion 22 correspond to constitute the passive indicator 3b to confut the radial side convex portion 22 to remain in the lid around the convex pivot. 2 The opening position of the central axis 21. It is possible to make the passive indicator to be bonded to the position of the cam mating surface on the active indicator to the position of the passive side convex portion, and the radial side convex portion can be rotated from the active indicator. Enter the position where the passive indicator is located, expands the rotation angle range value of the latch position to the unlock position, and achieve more flexible angle design, the open-side convex portion on the passive indicator is restricted. Therefore, the active indicator and the passive indicator are always in the expanded state when the cover is in a non-latch position.
[0023] The lid is required to be defined, thereby reaching the knob angle of the lock mechanism opening and closing operation, the present invention is mainly defined for the lid to the unlocking direction, and can rely on the external defined structure to the cover rotation limit angle It is defined to facilitate the implementation of the defined, and the passive indicator 3b connects the stop portion 3B-2, the stop portion 3b-2 and the radial direction of the stop portion 3b-2, the stop portion 3b-2 and the radial direction at one end of the movable indicator 3b pivot center. The side convex portion 22 abuts, thereby constituting the limit position of the unlocking direction of rotation of the cover 2.
