Abstract: A vehicular lock device comprises a main latch engageable with a main striker and rotatable, a main ratchet engageable with the main latch in order to keep an engagement relation between the main latch and the main striker, a subsidiary latch adapted to engage with a subsidiary striker and rotate, a subsidiary ratchet adapted to engage with the subsidiary latch in order to sustain an engagement relation of the subsidiary latch with the subsidiary striker, and a rotation lever engageable with the main latch and rotatable correspondingly to rotation of the main latch. Both the latches, both the ratchets, and the rotation lever, respectively are journalled rotatably to the same body of the lock device. When the latch engages with the main striker and the former rotates, the rotation lever rotates so as to make the subsidiary ratchet released from the subsidiary latch.

Abstract: A roof structure for a vehicular sun-roof device is provided including a roof panel having an upper and lower face and an opening therein. A downwardly bent extension projects downward from the roof panel. A stiffener is mounted between the downwardly bent extension and the lower face of the roof panel. A marginal opening edge is formed by the downwardly bent extension and the stiffener and includes a lower end. A sun-roof frame is operatively positioned and affixed adjacent to and spaced from the marginal opening edge. A seal is provided attached to the lower end of the marginal opening edge for abutting against the sun-roof frame to close the space between the marginal opening edge and the sun-roof frame. The roof structure reduces the space necessary to support a sun-roof device thereby increasing the area of the opening in the roof panel.
