Abstract

An improved rear seat back locking arrangement, in which in a motor vehicle adapted to communicate its passenger compartment with its trunk room when a rear seat back is turned down forwardly, a key cylinder or cylinder lock is provided on the seat back, so that when the key cylinder is operated for locking, with the seat back held in the erected state, the seat back can not be released from the locked state, whereby such possibilities that a mischievous child enters the trunk room from the compartment without permission or baggage in the trunk room is taken out from the compartment side may be positively prevented.
