Abstract
A vehicle door latch device has a child-proof mechanism provided between an inner lever and an open lever, a powered closing mechanism arranged to rotate a latch toward a full-latched position from a half-latched position by motor power, and a safety mechanism arranged to urgently stop actuation of the powered closing mechanism in response to rotation of the open lever. The child-proof mechanism has a transmitting device which transmits the rotation of the inner lever to the safety mechanism to actuate the safety mechanism, without rotating the open lever in the child-proof state.
