ABSTRACT:
A latch device for use with a vehicle trunk lid comprises a base plate and an actuator unit mounted on the base plate. The base plate has a latch adapted to engage with a striker and a ratchet arranged to engage with the latch for maintaining engagement between the latch and the striker. The actuator unit has a motor, an output gear turned by means of the motor, a cam lever connected to the output gear with a lost motion coupling and a connection shaft which rotates together with the cam lever as one body. The cam lever is adapted to make the ratchet leave the latch when turned. The latch device further has an open lever engaged with a rod leading to a key cylinder of a trunk. The open lever is secured on the connection shaft. The connection shaft and the cam lever are formed from synthetic resin in such a manner to be integral with each other.
