ABSTRACT:
An automotive door latch device comprises a latch body having a horizontal passage into which a striker enters, a latch rotatably mounted to the latch body by a latch shaft, a ratchet rotatably mounted to the latch body by a ratchet shaft, a lock lever switched between an unlocked position and a locked position, a block lever rotatably mounted to the latch body by a block shaft and engaging with the lock lever when the latch is in an unlatched position to prevent the lock lever from moving from the unlocked position to the locked position. The latch and the ratchet is substantially arranged along a vertical direction. A straight line connecting the ratchet shaft and the block shaft is substantially in parallel to the horizontal passage of the latch body. The block lever is connected to the ratchet lever by a connection pin.
