<p>This vehicle door handle is provided with a door opening preventing mechanism which is configured to prevent the vehicle door from opening during a vehicle collision. The door opening preventing mechanism includes: a rotating lever which is rotatably provided on a bellcrank, and which is biased by the elastic biasing force of a coil spring towards the initial position about the rotation shaft; and a lock pin which is provided in a base member and which allows rotation of the bellcrank when there is no vehicle collision by allowing relative movement of the rotating lever which is set in the initial position by the elastic biasing force of the coil spring, but limits relative motion of the rotating lever which during vehicle collision is rotated about the rotation shaft by the inertial force generated on the vehicle, said rotation going against the elastic biasing force of the coil spring from the initial position to a locked position, thereby preventing rotation of the bell crank which is linked to the operation by which the door lock mechanism is switched from the door lock state to the door lock released state. By this means, the vehicle door can be reliably prevented from opening during vehicle collision.</p> |
