Abstract
A rod linkage includes a mount member, a pivotable body, a handle rod, and a front rod. The mount member has left and right lateral walls extending rearwardly from two ends of an upright front wall, an upward abutment wall between the left and right lateral walls, and an upright rear wall which extends downward from a distal side of the upward abutment wall to define an upright bore extending in a first axial direction for receiving an upper end of the front rod. The mount member further has left and right rear lateral walls which extend respectively from the left and right lateral walls and which are disposed below the upright rear wall to form seat portions. The pivotable body includes an elongated member provided with a second upright front wall, and a lower abutment portion supported on the seat portions. The elongated member has a through-hole to permit extension of the handle rod such that a lower end of the latter is pivoted on the rear lateral walls. A forward anchoring portion extends forwardly from the second upright front wall and includes a downward abutment wall to mate with the upward abutment wall when the linkage is in an unfolded position.
