Abstract: An operation rod includes a first rod and a second rod. A one-end portion of the first rod is connected to a lock closer to be rotationally movable. The second rod is supported so as to be slidingly movable relative to a hand lever. A connecting portion connects an opposite-end portion of the first rod and a one-end portion of the second rod to each other. The connecting portion includes: a long hole which is formed in the opposite-end portion of the first rod; and a pin which is formed on the one-end portion of the second rod and which engages with the long hole to be slidingly movable therein. While the hand lever is moving rotationally, the connecting portion allows the opposite-end portion of the first rod to move rotationally and slidingly relative to the one-end portion of the second rod.

Abstract: An operation rod 70 includes a first rod 71 and a second rod 72. A one-end portion 71a of the first rod 71 is connected to a lock closer 60 so as to be rotationally movable. The second rod 72 is supported so as to be slidingly movable relative to a hand lever 8. A connecting portion 73 connects an opposite-end portion 71b of the first rod 71 and a one-end portion 72a of the second rod 72 to each other. The connecting portion 73 includes: a long hole 80 which is formed in the opposite-end portion 71b of the first rod 71; and a pin 81 which is formed on the one-end portion 72a of the second rod 72 and which engages with the long hole 80 so as to be slidingly movable therein. While the hand lever 8 is moving rotationally, the connecting portion 73 allows the opposite-end portion 71b of the first rod 71 to move rotationally and slidingly relative to the one-end portion 72a of the second rod 72.
