Therefore, it is possible to improve the assembling property and reduce the cost of each wire harness (not shown) assembled to each switch S1, S2 and derived from each switch S1, S2, and each wire harness.
- the ground wire can be shared, and the wire harness can be substantially made of three wires (one ground wire and two signal (power supply) wires). However, it is possible to reduce the cost.
- the opening operation switch S2 and the closing operation switch S1 are integrated via a connecting body Sc (see FIG. 42) such as a mounting bracket indicated by a two-dot chain line.
- a connecting body Sc such as a mounting bracket indicated by a two-dot chain line.
- the close operation switch S1 and the open operation switch S2 are configured separately, and the close operation switch S1 and the open operation switch S2 can be easily assembled as compared with the case of assembling each of them (assembly man-hours). Can be reduced).
- a bus bar may be employed instead of the electric wire inside the configuration.
- each actuator is not attached to the front lock (201) and the rear lock (202), for example, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-132771. It is also possible to provide a single actuator (close actuator) for releasing the front lock (201) and the rear lock (202) via a remote controller. In implementing the present invention, the full-open lock (203) is not attached to the full-open lock (203), and the full-open lock (203) is connected via a remote controller, as described in, for example, JP-A-2011-132771. It is also possible to provide an actuator for release (release actuator). In implementing the present invention, it is also possible to employ one actuator having functions and operations equivalent to these instead of employing the above-described close actuator and release actuator.

Abstract
Description
ところで、特許文献1に記載されている車両用ドアハンドル装置では、スライドドアのアウタパネルを挟んでそのドア内側とドア外側にそれぞれ配置されるフレームとハンドグリップをリンク機構を介して連係する際の組付方法について何ら言及されていない。現実的には、特許文献1に記載されている車両用ドアハンドル装置では、フレームとハンドグリップをリンク機構を介して連係する際の組付に苦慮するものと予測される。

前記レバーに対して傾動可能な慣性ストッパと、
前記慣性ストッパを前記レバーに対して初期位置に付勢する第3付勢部材とを備え、
前記スライドドアの閉扉方向に所定の慣性が作用したとき、前記慣性ストッパは前記第3付勢部材の付勢力に抗して前記レバーから離間し、この離間した慣性ストッパに前記ハンドグリップの前記アーム部が係合することにより、前記ハンドグリップの閉扉方向への移動が規制されるように構成されていることも可能である。
前記ハンドグリップが前記スライドドアの閉扉方向に操作されたことを前記閉操作スイッチが検出したとき、前記全開ラッチ機構における前記スライドドアを全開状態に保持する固定が電動アクチュエータにより解除されるよう構成した。
