ABSTRACT:
A locking device comprises a lever pivotally mounted to a panel which is detachably fitted in a roof opening of automotive vehicles, a stationary body fixed to the vehicle roof and provided with a pair of parallel arms each having a hole therein, and a link mechanism including a stationary bracket fixed to the lever, a pair of links pivoted to the bracket and each having a pin for fitting in the hole in the arm and a spring interposed between the links to urge the links to move in opposite directions. The resilient engagement of the pins of the mechanism with the holes in the arms of the stationary body will avoid any rattle caused between the detachable panel and the vehicle roof.
