A pawl lever (13) is pivoted by a pivotal pin (14) to central portions of bearing arms (4,5). The latch member (7) has an arcuate edge formed on the side of its pivotal pin (6) opposite its guide projection (10) and about its pivotal pin (6), the arcuate edge being formed with a train of ratchets (12). The pawl lever (13) has its rear end portion provided with a check latch for engagement and disengagement with respect to the ratchet train (12), The latch member (7) is urged against the pawl lever by a torsion spring (27). <IMAGE></p> |
