Abstract
In a lid opener mechanism having two locking devices for respectively locking two lids such as a fuel lid and a trunk lid of a motor vehicle, a handle device is provided for operating the control wires connected to each lid. The handle device includes a support on which are mounted for rotation two separately moveable levers. Each lever is spring biased to return it to its rest position after use and thereby permit closure of the lid which has been opened. Both levers are rotatably mounted in parallel on a projection extending out from the base of the handle device. Another projection, formed on the outer lever passes through said first projection and connects to the base. This arrangement assists in preventing rattles that might otherwise occur.
