ABSTRACT:
A latch device in which joggling of a latch main body is prevented and smooth movement of the latch main body is realized. When the latch main body is pushed-in from a first position of an insertion direction of the latch main body, holding of the first position is cancelled. Due to a spring, a stopper moves in a guide hole and abuts an end of the guide hole and the latch main body reaches a second position at a side opposite an insertion side. If the latch main body is pushed-in from the second position, the latch main body returns to the first position. When the latch main body is pushed-in to the first position and moves, an abutting portion extending from the stopper to a latch main body insertion side slides along an inner surface of a case wall, in a direction in which the stopper fits into the guide hole, along a side edge of the guide hole at a region at which the abutting portion misses the guide hole. In this way, when the latch main body moves from the second position to the first position, the latch main body is prevented from entering into the guide hole.
