Abstract
A vehicle door latch device comprises a casing, an operating lever, an auxiliary cover, and a hinge shaft on the auxiliary cover. The hinge shaft of the auxiliary cover rotatably engages in between a pair of elastic holding portions of the casing. A stopped portion is disposed on the auxiliary cover, and a stopper portion which the stopped portion can contact is disposed on the casing. When the auxiliary cover is rotated to open, the stopped portion gets over an end of the stopper portion and move to an opposite side, thereby holding the auxiliary cover provisionally in an open position.
