ABSTRACT:
A locking device for a detachable panel fitted in a roof opening of automobiles comprises a pivotable lever mounted to the panel, a stationary body fixed to the vehicle roof, and a link mechanism securely fixed to the lever while pivoted to the stationary body. The link mechanism includes a pair of links each provided with a recess while the stationary body includes a pair of arms each provided with a pin resiliently urged to fit in the recess to lock the position of the panel at the partially open state. The recess includes two lateral edges one of which extends higher than the other other to act as the stopper of the pin, to thereby limit excessive rotational movement of the panel with respect to the stationary body.
