To make noise or the like hardly generated while suppressing an increase of a material cost, in a lock release device arranged on a seatback for releasing a lock state of a lock mechanism which can adjust an angle of the seatback.SOLUTION: A lock release device 20 has a case part 21, a turning shaft 23 arranged at the case part 21, a lever part 22 supported to the turning shaft 23 so as to be turnable, and having a left salient part 22b extending in a radial direction from the turning shaft 23, and a cable 24 for connecting the lever part 22 and a reclining device 15. An engagement member 24a1 is attached to an upper end part of the cable 24. A pressing face 22b15 for pressing the cable 24 in a direction vertical to a center axis of the cable in a state that the engagement member 24a1 is inserted into a round hole 22b11 and a round hole 22b21 when the lever part 22 is in a non-operation state, and making the engagement member 24a1 abut on a peripheral edge part 22b111 and a peripheral edge part 22b211 is arranged at the left salient part 22b.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】シートバックの角度調整を可能とするロック機構のロック状態を解除するためのシートバックの上部に配設されたロック解除装置において、材料費のアップを抑制して異音等が発生しにくくする。【解決手段】ロック解除装置２０は、ケース部２１と、ケース部２１に配設された回動軸２３と、回動軸２３に回動可能に支持され回動軸２３から径方向に延びる左突出部２２ｂを有するレバー部２２と、レバー部２２とリクライニング装置１５とを連結するケーブル２４と、を有する。ケーブル２４の上端部には係合部材２４ａ１が取付けられている。左突出部２２ｂには、レバー部２２が非操作状態において、丸孔２２ｂ１１及び丸孔２２ｂ２１に係合部材２４ａ１が挿入された状態で、ケーブル２４をその中心軸に対し垂直な方向に押圧して係合部材２４ａ１を周縁部２２ｂ１１１及び周縁部２２ｂ２１１に当接させる押圧面２２ｂ１５が設けられている。【選択図】図２
