Abstract: A door opening and closing apparatus including a lock mechanism that is configured to hold the door in a fully closed state, and that has an engaging member which engages with a lock member provided in the door when in the fully closed state. A link mechanism having a plurality of link members is configured to be able to undergo deformation into a linear state and a bent state, and restricts rotation of the engaging member by being brought into the linear state. In the link mechanism, a first face is pressed by a projecting shaft moved by the actuator in order that the link mechanism changes from the linear state to the bent state, and a second face is pressed by the projecting shaft in order that the link mechanism changes from the bent state to the linear state.

The present invention has: a handle device (5) that is affixed to the door (1) of a vehicle and that causes the operation force to an operation handle (3) rotatably connected to a handle base (2) to be output from an output section (4); a door lock device (6) that is disposed in proximity to the output section (4) of the handle device (5); and an operation cable (7) that couples the output section (4) of the handle device (5) and the door lock device (6).

Abstract: When a thickest part of a flange is being inserted into an attachment portion of a weather strip, a main body portion of a holding lip having a smaller coefficient of dynamic friction than that of a contact portion firstly contacts with the flange. Therefore, a frictional force of the holding lip (main body portion) with respect to the flange is made small, and the insertion force is made small to that extent. When the attachment portion is attached to a thinnest part of the flange, the contact portion of the holding lip having a greater coefficient of dynamic friction than that of the main body portion contacts with the flange. Therefore, the frictional force of the holding lip (contact portion) is made large, and the holding lip is made difficult to slip with respect to the flange.

Abstract: A door opening and closing apparatus includes a lock mechanism having an engaging member that engages with a lock member provided in a door when the door is in a fully closed state, and a link mechanism that has three link members, is configured to be able to undergo deformation into a linear state and a bent state, and restricts rotation of the engaging member by being brought into the linear state. A central link member among the three link members has a first face and a second face that are pressed by a projecting shaft. The link mechanism changes to the bent state when the first face is pressed, and changes to the linear state when the second face is pressed. The first face and the second face are provided so as to have a positional relationship in which the first face and the second face intersect each other.

Abstract: A waterproofing structure for a vehicle door having a cover member for closing a service hole formed in an inner panel, and a clip for detachably mounting the cover member to the inner panel. The cover member includes a seat portion and a tool hole. The seat portion is formed on an outer side of the cover member facing the inner panel, and the clip is mounted thereto. To detach the clip from the inner panel, a tool is inserted into the tool hole from an inner side. The clip includes a countersunk head covering the tool hole to seal the hole while the clip is mounted to the seat portion. The seat portion serves as a canopy with respect to the tool hole, and changes a course of water entering an interior of the door and falling toward the tool hole from the outer side of the cover member.

Abstract: The invention described herein relates to a utility vault door, or access door, positionable between closed, partially opened, and fully opened orientations and including at least one compression spring lift-assist mechanism for countering the weight of the vault door when positioning between the various orientations. The door may be selectively locked in the partially opened orientation and opened sufficiently for the convenient ingress and egress of large equipment therethrough.
