Abstract: A water-proof structure for a cabin cap pull rod handle (1) has a first water-proof rubber ring (30) on the inner edge of a pivot seat (121) for the pull rod (11), and has a plurality of water-proof rubber rings (31,32) on the fixed rod (12) beneath the first water-proof rubber ring (30). When the pull rod main body (1) is inserted into the stepped hole (21) of the positioning seat (2), the first water-proof rubber ring (30) on the fixed rod (12) will be pressed tightly with the top edge of the hole (21). Meanwhile, the other water-proof rubber rings (31,32) on the fixed rod (12) will be inserted inside a second hole (22). The water is therefore prevented from entering into the seal gap of the rod axis (12) and the holes (21,22) by means of such multiple layers of water-proof rubber rings (30,31,32), therefore achieving the object of the invention.
