In an outer handle device for a vehicle door, a cylinder lock having a key hole is mounted on an handle base in an attitude in which the cylinder lock is inclined downward or upward in going outward in a vehicle width direction while the key hole is made to face an outside when an operating handle is in an operated position but the key hole is covered by an handle main body when the operating handle is in a non-operated position. A provisional holding device is provided between the handle base and the cylinder lock, provisionally holds a mounted position and a mounted attitude of the cylinder lock with respect to the handle base, and is formed to guide the cylinder lock inserted into an insertion hole provided in the handle base so that the cylinder lock attains the mounted attitude at the mounted position.

A door handle for a vehicle includes a handle inner member made of a resin, which is arranged on a vehicle inner side, a handle outer member, which is assembled to a vehicle outer side of the handle inner member to form an accommodating portion between the handle outer member and the handle inner member, and a connector provided to the handle inner member. The connector includes a resin connector main body independent of the handle inner member and coupled integrally with the handle inner member. In the connector main body, connector terminals and an electronic component are connected in a component accommodating recessed portion formed on one side thereof and is communicated with the accommodating portion. A connection portion between the connector terminals and the electronic component is protected by potting material filled in the component accommodating recessed portion.

A lock device includes lock portions, a pair of rods, a base member, a rotary member, and a manipulation member. The rotary member has a rod link portion coupled with the rods and transmit rotational power of the rotary member to the rods and a guide wall located inside the rod link portion in the rotary member and guides the rods. The guide wall includes arc walls or a cylindrical wall whose axis coincides with the rotation center of the rotary member. When viewed from a direction perpendicular to a bottom surface of the base member, the erection wall and the guide wall are opposed to each other with a gap. Coming-off-preventive structures for preventing the rod from coming off when the rod is inserted in the gap and coupled with the rod link portion is provided between the rod and the erection wall.

A detection device provided in an interior of a vehicle door handle including an inner casing includes a base portion, a displaceable member, and a sensor. The base portion has a longitudinal shape extending along a longitudinal direction of the door handle, is disposed fixedly to the inner casing, and is configured to deform in response to a pressure applied to the inner casing. The displaceable member has a longitudinal shape extending along the longitudinal direction of the door handle and is provided to face the base portion. Either or both of one end portion and the other end portion of the displaceable member are connected to the base portion. The displaceable member includes a displaceable portion configured to be displaced relatively to the base portion in accordance with deformation of the base portion. The sensor is configured to detect displacement of the displaceable portion.

A vehicle handle device: a resin handle support member having one surface in a vehicle width direction which faces one surface of a metal panel of a vehicle door; a handle rotatably supported by the handle support member and causing a locking device to perform a transition from a latched state to an unlatched state; a metal bolt penetrating through a through-hole and a bolt inserting hole, and having a head portion facing the other surface of the handle support member; a metal nut facing the other surface of the panel and screwed with the bolt; and a metal spacer positioned between the head portion and the other surface of the panel, and whose both end portions come into contact with the head portion and the one surface of the panel.
