Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a latch release device for a vehicle door according to the preamble of claim 1, as shown, e.g. in DE 10 2004 058 874 A1 .
  • a device that can release a latch state of a vehicle door electrically and mechanically by manipulation of an open button is known by Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-35091 , and in this device, an electric switch is constructed by a contactor which is provided at a tip end portion of the open button which is urged to an non-operation position side with a first spring, and a switch contact which is supported by a second spring to be in contact with the contactor when the open button is pressed in by a predetermined small stroke.
  • the electric switch is made electrically continuous by pressing in the open button which is disposed in a vehicle compartment by a small stroke at a normal time, whereby a latch state of a vehicle door is electrically released, and at an emergency when electrical release of latch is disabled due to battery being dead or the like, a latch release operation force is inputted into the latch device via an arm and a cable which are connected to the open button by pressing in the open button more than that at the normal operation time.
  • the second spring which supports the switch contact exhibits a spring force which holds the switch contact at the position where the switch contact is in contact with the contactor when the open button is pressed in by a predetermined small stroke, and the spring force of the second spring is set to be extremely small. Accordingly, when at an emergency, the open button is pressed in more than that at the time of a normal operation, only the spring force of the first spring substantially acts on the open button, and the open button and the arm are always connected to be linked with each other. Therefore, a difference does not occur to the operation loads at the time of a normal operation and at a time of an emergency operation. Accordingly, even at the time of a normal operation, an emergency operation of pressing in the open button more deeply is sometimes performed, which is not preferable in operation.
  • the present invention is made in view of such circumferences, and has an object thereof to enhance operability by enabling an unnecessary emergency operation to be avoided by generating an obvious difference in operation loads at a time of a normal operation and at a time of an emergency operation.
  • a latch release device for a vehicle door according to claim 1.
  • the latch release device includes a latch device that has an electric actuator which operates to release a latch state of a vehicle door and that also enables release of the latch state in response to a mechanical input of a latch release operation force; an operation member; a first spring that urges the operation member to a non-operation position side; a switch that is connected to the electric actuator so as to be made electrically continuous in response to an operation of the operation member from the non-operation position to a first operation position; and latch release operation force transmitting means that mechanically transmits a latch release operation force to the latch device in response to an operation of the operation member to a second operation position, an operation amount from the non-operation position to the second operation position being larger than an operation amount from the non-operation position to the first operation position, wherein the latch release device further comprises: a rotary lever that constitutes a part of the latch release operation force transmitting means to rotate by being linked with an operation of the operation member from the first operation position to the second operation position; and a second spring that directly urges the rotary lever to a
  • the rotary lever in response to the operation member being further operated from the first operation position to the second operation position side, the rotary lever starts to rotate by being linked with the operation member. Therefore, at a normal operation time when the operation member is operated to the first operation position, only the spring force of the first spring acts on the operation member, and thus operation of the operation member can be performed lightly. Meanwhile, at an emergency operation time when the operation member is further operated from the first operation position to the second operation position side, the operation member and the rotary lever are linked with each other, the spring force of the second spring acts on the operation member in addition to the spring force of the first spring, the operation becomes heavy as compared with that at the normal operation time. Accordingly, an obvious difference occurs to the operation loads at the normal operation time and at the emergency operation time, and an unnecessary emergency operation can be prevented from being performed at the normal operation time, whereby enhancement in operability can be promoted.
