PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify a structure and improve operability by dispensing with a sliding structure in a ground operation tool, and further, prevent rotational turning of the ground tool unless the ground operation tool is operated for a traveling operation outside the vehicle.SOLUTION: A ground operation tool 10 can freely changes an attitude among: a storage attitude where a handle part 48 is erected along the front end of a traveling machine body 2 an operation preparation attitude where the handle part 48 is rotationally turned forward from the storage attitude and a traveling operation attitude where the arm part 47 is rotationally downward turned according to the depressing operation of the handle part 48 in the operation preparation attitude. The ground operation tool includes, between the handle part 48 and the traveling machine body 2, a locking mechanism 63 that restricts the downward turning of the arm part 47 and the forward turning of the handle part 48 when the depressing force is applied to the handle part 48 in the storage attitude.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】地上操作具におけるスライド構造を不要にして構造の簡略化や操作性の向上を図り、さらには、車外における走行操作を目的とする地上操作具の操作時以外に、地上操作具が回動することを防止する。【解決手段】地上操作具10は、ハンドル部48が走行機体2の前端部に沿って起立する収納姿勢と、ハンドル部48が収納姿勢から前方に回動された操作準備姿勢と、操作準備姿勢におけるハンドル部48の押し下げ操作に応じて、アーム部47が下方に回動した走行操作姿勢とに変姿自在でり、ハンドル部48と走行機体2との間には、収納姿勢のハンドル部48に押し下げ力が作用しているとき、アーム部47の下方への回動及びハンドル部48の前方への回動を規制するロック機構63が設けられる。【選択図】図6
