  • Tail gate locking system
    Patent number: 6902213
    Abstract: The invention relates to a coupling structure between a lock and a latch in a vehicular tail gate locking system. The coupling structure of the invention comprises a key lever rotated depending on displacement of a first rod coupled to the lock and a remote lever rotated depending on rotation of the key lever to shift the position of the second rod. A control latch is further provided which allows the second rod to maintain its position as the lock is further rotated by any angle while the lock is in a locked position so that the further rotational force of the lock lever caused by a user is not transmitted to the latch.
