LOCKING DEVICE

摘要

A locking device for locking a closure member of a vehicle including a pivotal locking member having a slot for receiving a rod-like engaging member with a slight spacing between the slot and engaging member. A jackplate is provided which is pivoted coaxially with the locking member and is urged by a spring toward the engaging member thereby absorbing any play produced due to the slight spacing between the engaging member and locking member. This locking arrangement absorbs any vibrations applied to the locking device which may cause rattling sounds.
