LINK MECHANISM, VEHICLE UPPER STORAGE-RACK STRUCTURE AND SEAT SUSPENSION MECHANISM

The operation in a closing direction and the operation in an opening direction of a storage rack are performed efficiently with small force. Fixed frames and a storage rack are connected by link mechanisms, and the link mechanism includes fixed-side links linked to the fixed frame and movable-side links linked to the storage rack. When a position of one ends of the movable-side links is located closer to one ends of the fixed-side links than a balanced point, the elastic member biases the storage rack in an open-position direction. In the open position, since the elastic member biases the storage rack in the opening direction, an open state is maintained as long as the position of the one ends of the movable-side links does not return to the change point position. Accordingly, the open position can be held by a simple structure without using electric power.
