Abstract
A hood lifting mechanism includes a housing and a piston rod movably mounted in the housing so as to be extendible from the housing in a first direction. A retainer is secured to an exterior of the housing so as to define a cavity between the housing and the retainer. A locking member is positioned in the cavity and structured to contact the piston rod so as to impede motion of the piston rod in a second direction opposite the first direction.
