ABSTRACT:
A rope hook arrangement for a vehicle has a case fixed to a vehicle body, and a movable member slidable rectilinearly in the case so that a rope hook fixed to the movable member can be projected from the vehicle body and retracted. A spring is disposed between the case and movable member for urging the movable member to a projected position. A push-lock-push-release mechanism is provided for holding the movable member in a middle position in which the rope hook is retracted, allowing the movable member to move to the projected position when the movable member is depressed from the middle position to a depressed position and unhanded at the depressed position, and allowing the movable member to return to the middle position when the movable member is depressed from the projected position to the depressed position and unhanded. The push-lock-push-release mechanism comprises a rotatable member mounted on the case, and engaging and actuating projections formed in the movable member. The rotatable member is rectangular, and has two longer sides which are flat and parallel, and two shorter sides which are notched. The actuating projection abuts on the rotatable member when the movable member is moved to the depressed position, and rotates the rotatable member from a lock position to a release position or vice versa. The engaging projection engages with one of the notched shorter sides of the rotatable member and holds the movable member in the middle position only when the rotatable member is in the lock position.
