Abstract
An outside handle device for a vehicle includes an outside handle being rotatably supported at a vehicle door between an initial position and an operation position, the operation position in which a lock device being provided at the vehicle door is switched from a latched state to an unlatched state, a first actuator generating a drive force that rotates the outside handle to a grip position that corresponds to a position between the initial position and the operation position, a first switch being disposed at a portion of the outside handle, the portion disposed inwardly of the vehicle, the first switch operating the first actuator when being pressed, and a switch operation lever rotating when the outside handle rotates inwardly of the vehicle from the initial position and pressing the first switch.
Claims11
An outside handle device for a vehicle, comprising:
- a lock device provided at a vehicle door;
- an outside handle rotatably supported at the vehicle door between an initial position and an operation position, the operation position being defined at a vehicle outer position relative to the initial position, the operation position in which the lock device is switched from a latched state to an unlatched state;
- a first switch disposed at a portion of the outside handle, the portion disposed inwardly of the vehicle;
- a second switch separately provided from the first switch;
- a switch operation lever configured to operate the first switch and the second switch;
- a first actuator configured to be operated by the first switch to generate a drive force that rotates the outside handle to a grip position that corresponds to a position between the initial position and the operation position when the switch operation lever rotates in response to rotation of the outside handle inwardly of the vehicle from the initial position and causes the switch operation lever to rotate and cause the first switch to operate the first actuator;
- a second actuator configured to be operated by the second switch to generate a drive force that rotates the outside handle from the grip position to the initial position when the second switch is pressed by the switch operation lever;
- and
- an unlock lever that is separately provided from the switch operation lever, the outside handle causing the unlock lever to move the lock device to be unlatched when the outside handle rotates to the operation position, and the unlock lever allowing the lock device to be latched when the outside handle rotates inwardly of the vehicle from the initial position.

- a second switch separately provided from the first switch;
- a switch operation lever configured to operate the first switch and the second switch;
- and
- an actuator configured to be operated by the first switch to generate a first drive force that rotates the outside handle to a grip position that corresponds to a position between the initial position and the operation position, and to be operated by the second switch generate a second drive force that rotates the outside handle from the grip position to the initial position, the actuator generating the first drive force when the switch operation lever rotates in response to rotation of the outside handle inwardly of the vehicle from the initial position and causes the switch operation lever to rotate and cause the first switch to operate the actuator, the actuator generating the second drive force when the second switch is pressed by the switch operation lever;
- and
- an unlock lever that is separately provided from the switch operation lever, the outside handle causing the unlock lever to move the lock device to be unlatched when the outside handle rotates to the operation position, and the unlock lever allowing the lock device to be latched when the outside handle rotates inwardly of the vehicle from the initial position.
