Abstract
The present invention discloses an improved locking device for a vehicle's trunk, door and seat which is simple in structure with a minimized number of parts, assembly steps and likelihood of deformation caused by weight pressure. This locking device includes shafts, each having a large diameter portion at its middle part and a small diameter portion at both ends thereof. The small diameter portions have a smaller diameter than the large diameter portions. The locking device also includes a latch and a pawl revolvably combined on each of the shafts. The shafts are used to affix the whole device to a vehicle body.
