Abstract
A door latch device includes a base having an insertion groove, a fork pivotally supported by a fork shaft on one side of the insertion groove, a claw pivotally supported by a claw shaft on the other side of the insertion groove, an opening lever disposed in a manner spaced apart from the claw in an axial direction of the claw shaft, and a driving mechanism for rotating the opening lever. After the opening lever is rotated to cause the fork restricting portion to restrict a rotation of the fork toward the open position, and to cause the claw actuating portion to rotate the claw from the abutting position to the non-abutting position, the fork restricting portion ceases to restrict the rotation of the fork toward the open position, with the claw actuating portion restricting the rotation of the claw toward the abutting position.
