DOOR HANDLE DEVICE

摘要

A door handle device capable of operating a door opening/closing mechanism of a vehicle is disclosed. The door handle device includes a support member 21, door handle 10, lock detection electrode 31, and capacitance sensor 41. The door handle 10 includes a first end 12b, second end 12d, pivot portion 12a, and operation portion 12c. The capacitance sensor 41 detects issuance of a door lock command from a change in capacitance between an outer panel 20 and the lock detection electrode 31. The door handle 10 includes a first handle case 11 and second handle case 12, which covers the first handle case 11. The lock detection electrode is arranged proximal to and facing toward an inner surface of an upper wall 12e or lower wall 12f of the second handle case 12. The lock detection electrode 31 is encompassed by a waterproof elastic body 50.
