Abstract
A rope hook arrangement for a vehicle has a case fixed to the vehicle body and a movable member slidable rectilinearly in the case. A rope hook fixed to one end of the movable member can be projected from the vehicle body and retracted. A spring is disposed between the case and movable member so that the movable member is always urged outwardly. A latch lever is swingably mounted on the movable member, and first and second pins are fixed to the case. The first pin engages with the latch lever and holds the movable member in a middle position in which the rope hook is snugly retracted. If the movable member is pushed down to a depressed position by hand, and unhanded at that position, the first pin pushes the latch lever to a release position, so that the movable member is lifted up by the spring to a projected position in which the rope hook is projected from the vehicle body. When the movable member is pushed down from the projected position to the middle position, the second pin pushes the latch lever to a lock position, so that the rope hook can be easily retracted.
