1. A fuel lid opener comprising:
a case that is mounted to a lid box at which a fuel lid is pivotally supported so as to be able to open and close;
a lifter that is supported so as to be able to advance or withdraw with respect to the case, and that contacts the fuel lid, which is in a closed state, from a reverse surface side;
a push lifter mechanism that is provided within the case, and that is structured so as to cause the lifter to alternately repeat advancing-out and withdrawing, each time the lifter is push-operated via the fuel lid, and so as to push the fuel lid open due to advancing-out of the lifter; and
a locking mechanism having a stopper, which is supported at the case so as to be movable between a locking position, at which the stopper restricts operation of the push lifter mechanism, and a lock releasing position, at which the stopper releases the restricting, and having a drive source that can move the stopper from the locking position to the lock releasing position, wherein, at a time when the stopper is moved to the lock releasing position, the stopper engages with the push lifter mechanism, operates the push lifter mechanism, and causes the lifter to advance-out.
