In a door opening and closing device for a vehicle in which a cylinder body of a cylinder lock having a rotor turned in response to a key operation and a casing of a door-locking device which has a door-locking lever shaft turned in response to the turning of the rotor and is switched over between a locking state and an unlocking state in response to the turning of the door-locking lever shaft are mounted to a door, a turning movement-transmitting member having a flexibility is disposed between the cylinder lock and the door-locking device so as to transmit a turning force of the rotor to the door-locking lever shaft by its twisting motion responsive to the turning of the rotor. Thus, it is possible to increase the degree of freedom for the relative dispositions of the cylinder lock and the door-locking device, while eliminating the need for a protector for preventing the unauthorized access from the outside.
A door opening and closing device for a vehicle in which a cylinder body of a cylinder lock having a rotor turned in response to a key operation and a casing of a door-locking device which has a door-locking lever shaft turned in response to the turning of said rotor and is switched over between a locking state and an unlocking state in response to the turning of said door-locking lever shaft are mounted to a door, characterized in that a power-transmitting mechanism is accommodated in a case detachably connected to said cylinder body mounted to the door, said power-transmitting mechanism including a transmitting wheel relatively non-turnably connected to said rotor in response to the mounting of said case to said cylinder body, and a turning movement-transmitting member having a flexibility is connected at one end thereof to said power-transmitting mechanism so as to perform twisting motion responsive to the turning of said transmitting wheel (39), and said turning movement-transmitting member is operatively connected at the other end thereof to said door-locking lever shaft in such a manner that said door-locking device and said turning movement-transmitting member are constructed in the form of a unit.
