Abstract:
1. A cab lock mechanism of a cab-over-engine vehicle, which locks on a chassis side the other end of a non-tilted cab tiltable around one end of the cab; said cab lock mechanism comprising: a rod, which is arranged on a cab side and moves in response to a cab lock lever; a link, which is rotatably supported by the other end of the cab, rotates in a locking direction from an initial position in response to movement of the rod, and reaches a locking position; a cab lock hook, which is rotatably supported by the link, moves in a locking direction from an initial position and reaches a locking position in response to rotation of the link toward the locking position, and engages with a pin fixed to the chassis side in the locking position; a switch, which is fixed to the other end of the cab; a locking engagement part, which is formed in the link; a lock close portion, which is rotatably supported by the other end of the cab and is movable between a closing position and a non-closing position; wherein the lock close portion in the closing position engages with the locking engagement part while the link is positioned in the locking position, and prevents movement of the link in a lock release direction, the lock close portion comprises a switch pressure section, which comes in contact with and presses down the switch when the lock close portion reaches the closing position from the non-closing position, and a state of the switch changes to make a passenger recognize that the cab lock mechanism is in a cab locked state, when the switch is pressed down by the switch pressure section, and wherein the lock close portion comprises a cam comprising a curved portion, which comes into direct contact with the link and prevents movement of the lock close portion towards the closing position while the lock close portion is positioned in the non-closing position and the link is positioned in the initial position.
