Abstract
A stopping apparatus includes a drum that rotates in a first rotation direction during opening of a back door and rotates in a second rotation direction during closing of the back door; a locking member that shifts between a locking position where the locking member prevents the rotation of the drum in the first rotation direction and an unlocking position where the locking member allows the rotation of the drum in the first rotation direction; and a shifting mechanism to shift a position of the locking member from the unlocking position to the locking position when a shifting operation is performed in a situation where the locking member is located at the unlocking position, and maintain the position of the locking member at the locking position when the shifting operation is performed in a situation where the locking member is located at the locking position.
