Abstract: A door handle device for a vehicle includes: a handle member attached to a door to be handled by a user, the handle member having a front cover, and a back cover; and a handling detection sensor for detecting the handling of the handle member, wherein the back cover includes: a pair of movement-restricted portions arranged at both ends of the back cover, wherein relative movement of the pair of movement-restricted portions to the front cover is restricted; and a flexible portion arranged between the pair of movement-restricted portions, the flexible portion being bendable according to the handling; and wherein the handling detection sensor detects the bending of the flexible portion.

Abstract: There are provided a lock member configured to be displaced between a locking position for prohibiting rotation of a steering shaft and an unlocking position for permitting rotation of the steering shaft, a first detection switch (SW1) for detecting a locked state of the steering shaft, a second detection switch (SW2) and a third detection switch (SW3) for detecting an unlocked state of the steering shaft, and an electric steering lock controller (30) configured to determine a position of the lock member, based on detection outputs from the first detection switch (SW1) and the second detection switch (SW2), and thus to control driving of the lock member. Lock and unlock information from the electric steering lock controller (30) and detection outputs from the second detection switch (SW2) and the third detection switch (SW3) are outputted to a vehicle-side controller (31).

Abstract: An electric steering lock device includes an operation relay for operating an electric motor, a pair of switching relays for switching the rotating direction of the electric motor, and diodes for energizing each relay connected to a port of a control unit respectively. A steering shaft is unlocked by providing the operation relay in an ON status to allow the electric motor to displace the locking rod in the unlocking direction. The steering shaft is locked by providing the operation relay and the pair of switching relays in an ON status respectively to allow the electric motor to displace the steering rod in the locking direction.

Abstract: An electric steering locker, includes: a lock member moved by means of a drive source between: a locking position preventing a rotation of a steering shaft, and an unlocking position allowing the rotation of the steering shaft; a position sensor sensing that: the lock member moves from the locking position to the unlocking position, and the lock member moves from the unlocking position to the locking position, the position sensor, including: a plurality of pressers moving with the lock member, and a single switch having a contact point turned on and off by the pressers; and a controller sensing the locking position and the unlocking position of the lock member based on the number of ons-offs of the single switch.
