Abstract
In a latch mechanism of an open-close member for a vehicle, a latch plate to be inlaid on a striker when a lid is closed and a detent lever for holding the latch plate in latched condition are pivotally supported by a base plate whose lower portion branches out in a forked shape abutting against the striker. An open lever for separating the latch plate from the striker by abutting against the detent lever is provided. Further, provided are a stopper lever pivotally supported by the base plate and used for controlling the pivoting of the detent lever toward the latch plate by abutting against the upper end of the detent lever, and a spring for urging and pivoting the stopper lever toward the detent lever at all times. Further, a reset lever rotatably supported by the base plate, with one end mating with the stopper lever and other end having a lock-releasing knob, is pivoted through the operating of the knob between two positions including a first position where the pivoting of the detent lever is controlled by the stopper lever and a second position where control of the pivoting of the detent lever is released by the stopper lever.
