A vehicle door device, comprising:
- a latch mechanism provided on a door body for a vehicle and configured to be switchable between a latch state and an unlatch state when the door body is in a closed state, the latch state being a state in which the latch mechanism is engaged with a striker on a vehicle body side to restrict opening of the door body and the unlatch state being a state in which the latch mechanism is disengaged with the striker so as not to restrict opening of the door body;
- a door handle provided in an opening formed in the door body and configured to be movable between a first position and a second position, the first position being a position in which an outer surface of the door handle is flush with an outer surface of the door body, and the second position being a position in which at least a part of the door handle projects to outside of the vehicle with respect to the door handle in the first position so that an operator can hold the door handle;
- a door handle projecting mechanism configured to move the door handle from the first position to the second position when a press portion provided on the outer surface of the door handle is pressed;
- an electrical unlatch operation mechanism including a switch and an electric actuator, the switch being operated by the door handle, and the electric actuator being configured so that, when the switch is operated during a single action of pressing the press portion, the electric actuator is operated to switch the latch mechanism from the latch state to the unlatch state;
- and
- a mechanical unlatch operation mechanism selectively connected to the door handle, and configured to switch the latch mechanism from the latch state to the unlatch state in conjunction with a predetermined movement of the door handle,
- wherein when the latch mechanism is in the unlatch state, the door body is openable by one of the door handle or an edge of the opening formed in the door body,
- wherein the door handle is configured so as to move to a third position when operated from the second position in a direction in which the door body is opened, the third position including a position located further to the outside of the vehicle than the second position, and
- wherein the mechanical unlatch operation mechanism is configured so that, when the latch mechanism is in the latch state and the door handle is moved from the second position to the third position, the mechanical unlatch operation mechanism switches the latch mechanism from the latch state to the unlatch state in conjunction with the movement of the door handle.
