A retractable outside door handle assembly may include a handle unit including a pushing portion and an outside door handle mounted selectively protruded outwardly to a handle housing, an actuator including a drive motor, a worm connected to the drive motor, a worm wheel engaging with the worm, and an operation rod that moves according to rotation of the worm wheel to push the pushing portion, and a door latch lever that is rotatably mounted on the handle housing and rotates during operation of the outside door handle protruded by operation of the actuator.

A vehicle door latch device comprises an outside lever, a locking lever, a holding member, an opening link and a spring. The spring applies an urging force, smaller than an elastic holding force of the holding member in an unlocking direction, to the opening link. A coil is held in a holding recess of a rotation central portion of the opening link. The first arm engages with the outside lever, and the second arm engages with the opening link. If a panic state occurs, the locking lever can rotate to an unlock position, and the opening link returns to an initial position before a releasing action and is moved to the unlock position by the urging force of the spring.

A storage device includes a housing defining a channel, a receptacle, and a first passage. The housing further includes a first magnetic element. A rotatable member is positioned within the receptacle, and the rotatable member is rotatably coupled to the housing and moveable between a first position and a second position. The rotatable member includes a second magnetic element that engages with the first magnetic element in the first position, a third magnetic element that engages with the first magnetic element in the second position, a notch, and a second passage. A cover is at least partially disposed over the housing and the rotatable member. A pin is at least partially disposed within the first passage and within the second passage. The rotatable member is rotatable about an axis extending though the pin.

A handle device for a vehicle in which an operating member linked to a base fixed to a door of a vehicle to be rotatably operable is operated so as to displace an output portion and operate a door lock device in the door linked to the output portion. A displacement amount in the output portion per unit operation angle of the operating member changes according to a rotation position of the operating member.
