<p>A latch device 10 for a vehicle tailgate having a main door 11 and a sub door 12, comprises a latch lever 26 moving from an initial position to an operating position by a contact with a sub latch 23, a return spring 41 urging the latch lever from the operating position toward the initial position, and a block lever 39 connected to the latch lever. The block lever is displaced to a blocked position where the door-opening of the main door by the main open handle is impossible when the latch lever is restored to the initial position by the return spring and to be displaced to an unblocked position where the door-opening of the main door by the main open handle is possible when the latch lever is moved to the operating position by the contact with the sub latch against the elasticity of the return spring.</p> |
