ABSTRACT:
A cab locking apparatus engages a striker on a chassis of a truck and holds a cab in a normal standing position, without allowing the cab to be forwardly inclined. To minimize the entire size of the apparatus and the total number of component elements, an input lever is located between a latch member, for engaging and disengaging the striker, and a locking plate, for retaining the latch member in a locking position. When the input lever is moved to a releasing operative position, the input lever is retained in a restricting/releasing holding groove in a base plate so that the latch member can be removed from the striker. When the latch member is engaged with the striker, the input lever is removed from the restricting/releasing holding groove so that the latch member is restricted in the locking position.
