Actuation transmission mechanism, detection device equipped with concerned mechanism, and motor-vehicle door locking device equipped with concerned detection device

An actuation transmission mechanism comprising:

• a transmitting member that is pivotably supported to pivot in a plurality of driving directions from a predetermined initial position and configured to transmit a pivoting motion of the transmitting member to a transmitted member that is pivotably supported in a vicinity of the transmitting member to pivot in a plurality of driven directions from a predetermined driven initial position, the transmitting member comprising:
• a first abutting portion that abuts against the transmitted member to make the transmitted member pivot in one of the driven directions from the predetermined driven initial position when the transmitting member pivots in one of the driving directions from the predetermined initial position,
• a second abutting portion that abuts against the transmitted member to make the transmitted member pivot in another one of the driven directions from the driven initial position when the transmitting member pivots in another one of driving directions from the initial position, and
• an inserted portion which is formed between the first and second abutting portions and into which a tip end portion and its vicinity of the transmitted member are able to be inserted,
• wherein, when the transmitting member pivots from the initial position in the one driving direction, the transmitting member abuts against the transmitted member to make the transmitted member pivot in the one driven direction from the driven initial position to one predetermined detection position of a plurality of predetermined detection positions, and thereafter, though the transmitting member subsequently pivots in the one driving direction further, the transmitting member does not make the transmitted member pivot beyond one predetermined maximum pivoting angle of a plurality of predetermined maximum pivoting angles in the one driven direction, and
• wherein, when the transmitting member pivots from the initial position in the other driving direction, the transmitting member abuts against the transmitted member to make the transmitted member pivot in the other driven direction from the driven initial position to another predetermined detection position of the plurality of detection positions, and thereafter, though the transmitting member subsequently pivots in the other driving direction further, the transmitting member does not make the transmitted member pivot beyond another one of the predetermined maximum pivoting angles in the other driven direction.
