<p>A door-opened-prevention mechanism comprises a lever member, and a biasing member biasing the lever member toward a set position thereof. The lever member is assembled to a connection lever above a connection pin. The lever member is movable between the set position and a fallback position which is in an outer direction of the vehicle to the set position. when an inertia force, exerted on an outer handle toward an outer direction of the vehicle at the time of impact of the vehicle, is not exerted on the outer handle, the lever member is kept to be in the set position so as to enable a necessary and sufficient movement of the connection lever in a direction for opening a door in response to a movement of the outer handle for opening the door to be transmitted to the connection pin via the lever member, and when the inertia force is exerted on the outer handle, the lever member moves to the fallback position from the set position prior to the movement of the outer handle for opening the door so as not to enable the necessary and sufficient movement of the connection lever in the direction for opening the door in response to the movement of the outer handle for opening the door to be transmitted to the connection pin via the lever member. With this, at the time of impact of the vehicle, specifically in a state in which the inertia force is exerted on the outer handle, the door-opened-prevention mechanism makes a movement of structural members of a linkage mechanism in a direction for opening the door in response to the movement of the outer handle for opening the door invalidated, so as to prevent the door from being opened.</p> |
