<p>A latch (33) engages with a striker (2) fixed to a vehicle when a door of the vehicle is closed. A latch lever (36) that turns together with the latch (33) has an engagement portion (3). A closing lever (46) forced by a spring (50) has a pressing portion (46b) and has the same axis as a sector gear (45) driven by a motor (42). If the door is incompletely closed or in a half-latched position, the closing lever (46) turns by the sector gear (45) driven by the motor (42), so that the pressing portion contact and press the engagement portion of the latch lever (36) to allow the door to close completely. Even if the pressing portion (46b) inadvertently engages with the engagement portion, the sector gear (45) and the closing lever (46) can return to the original position independently. Then, the door can normally be closed.</p> |
