Abstract

A frame assembly of a trunk lid locking device comprises a lower frame of vessel-shaped formed by bending four sides of a base plate about at a right angle, a latch placed in an interior of the lower frame and engaged with a striker to be rotated, a ratchet for preventing the latch from reversely rotating, an upper frame of approximately flat plate-like for closing an upper opening of the lower frame. An engagement hole extending in a left-and-right direction is formed on one of a front side of the upper frame and a top end of the lower frame, and a L-shaped engagement portion is formed on the other of the top end of the lower frame and the front side of the upper frame so as to engage with the engagement hole.
