ABSTRACT:
A trunk lid of a motor vehicle is closed by engagement of a striker secured to the trunk lid with a latch body of a locking mechanism secured to the trunk of the vehicle. When the trunk lid is closed, the lowering thereof to its closed position is electrically detected by a trunk lid sensor and, in response to it an electrical driving device including an electric motor, is operated to rotate a claw pivotably secured to the latch body so as to move the striker in a guide slot of the claw to a locking position of the latch body. The operation of the electric motor is transmitted to the claw to rotate the same through wire means, link mechanism or gear arrangement.
