Abstract
A latch mechanism opening and closing detection system for accurately detecting the open and closed state of a door including a claw configured to be pushed by a striker and rotated in a fastening direction; a pawl member configured to contact the claw and rotate in an interlocked manner such that the claw engages at a half-lock point corresponding to a middle portion of a rotation range of the claw and at a full-lock point corresponding to an end portion of the rotation range, thereby limiting rotation of the claw in an unfastening direction; and a full-lock detection switch configured not to be manipulated at the half-lock point and configured to be switching-manipulated at the full-lock point by the claw and the pawl member, thereby detecting a state in which the claw is fully fastened to the striker.
