The lock mechanism may include a first contact point in which a pawl contacts a hook in the unlocked condition by an elastic force of a lock spring and a second contact point in which a cam contacts the hook in the unlocked condition by an elastic force of a push spring. The hook, the pawl and the cam are arranged and constructed such that these contact points are separately set at different positions. Further, the second contact point is in a certain position.
