Latch release device for vehicle door

摘要

A latch release device for a vehicle door includes: an operation member (24); a first spring (25) that urges the operation member (24) to a non-operation position side; a switch (26) that is connected to an electric actuator (50) so as to be made electrically continuous in response to an operation of the operation member (24) from the non-operation position to a first operation position; and latch release operation force transmitting means (56) that mechanically transmits a latch release operation force to a latch device (19) in response to an operation of the operation member (24) to a second operation position. In the latch release device, a rotary lever (27) that constitutes part of the latch release operation force transmitting means (56) to rotate by being linked with an operation of the operation member (24) from the first operation position to the second operation position is urged by a second spring (28) to a non-rotation position side. Accordingly, it is possible to avoid an unnecessary emergency operation by generating an obvious difference in operation loads at a time of a normal operation and at a time of an emergency operation.
