ABSTRACT:
A lid locking device for a vehicle has a pawl attached to the lid and engaged by a retractable plunger. The plunger is retracted by contacting a projection of a rotatable worm-wheel to permit opening of the lid. The worm-wheel is rotated into position by a worm gear mounted on a rotating shaft. The worm-wheel and plunger are returned to their original positions by the release of energy stored in springs during the retraction of the plunger.
