<p>A cover (2) of a housing (1) for contain various control devices mounted under floor of a vehicle is opened by itself due to vibration during traveling of the vehicle in the case of forgetting to lock the cover (2) or improper locking, resulting in a problem of danger. A latch (4) is held by a leaf spring (4b) that is mounted on backside of the cover (2) and the latch is biased from a center of an opening (10) of the housing (1) toward a periphery thereof. When the cover (2) is opened, a hook (4Y) formed at the latch (4) is hooked on a periphery of the opening (10) by bias force from the leaf spring (4b), thus preventing the cover (2) from being opened further. By inserting a finger through a slightly open gap to release the hook (4Y), the cover (2) can be opened easily.</p> |
