A lid locking device comprising a cylindrical case having an opening at one end thereof, a stopper slidably contained in the hollow interior of said case and normally energized with a compressed spring and consequently enabled to keep an engaging head portion at the leading end thereof protruding from the opening of said case, a panel for permitting attachment of said case thereto, and a cap for covering the opening side end of said case, said stopper being provided at the rear end portion thereof with a connection member permitting connection thereto of a release wire passed through the rear end side of said case and adapted to impart a rearward motion to said engaging head portion upon application thereto of a pull, said case being provided with a contact flange outwardly diverged from the outer peripheral surface of the case surrounding the opening, a cylindrical insertion member extended axially from the peripheral edge of the case around the opening, and engaging portions formed around the peripheral surface of said engaging member and opposed to said contact flange, said panel being provided with a circular perforation containing along the edge thereof notches for permitting passage of said engaging portions, said perforation enabling said insertion member to be inserted therethrough and said contact flange to be brought into contact with one side of said panel and further enabling the insertion member inserted past the panel to be rotated around the axis thereof and consequently enabling the engaging portions passed through the notches to be brought into engagement with the opposite sides of the panel thereby causing the panel to be nipped between said engaging portions and said contact flange, said cap being provided with a window for permitting passage therethrough of the engaging head portion of said stopper, projections for engagement with engaging projections formed on the outer peripheral surface of the insertion member of said case, and protuberances for engagement with said notches formed in the panel, whereby the engagement between said engaging projections and said projections will fasten said cap to the insertion member of the case from the opposite side of the panel and consequently prevent the case from being rotated relative to the panel and secure the case to the panel.
