Abstract: An opening and closing device couples together a vehicle body having an opening and an opening and closing body that opens and closes the opening, and extends to perform an opening operation of the opening and closing body, at least one of the vehicle body and the opening and closing body including a ball stud including a ball, the opening and closing device including: a shaft member having a shaft shape and being telescopic in an axial direction; a socket fixed to at least one end portion of the shaft member and constituting a ball joint together with the ball; an elastic body supported by the socket and configured to hold the ball together with the socket; and a cover mounted on the socket at one of an allowing position where displacement of the elastic body with respect to the socket is allowed and a restricting position where the displacement of the elastic body with respect to the socket is restricted.

Abstract: A vehicular door structure includes a door handle provided in a door panel that configures a part of a vehicular door, a latch mechanism provided in the vehicular door and configured to be engaged with a striker provided on a vehicle body, an unlatch portion provided in the door handle and configured to be at least partially exposed to an outside and swing with respect to the door handle, an electric unlatch operation mechanism having an actuator that is configured to disengage the latch mechanism from the striker as the unlatch portion is made to swing, and a lock sensor portion provided in a part of the unlatch portion, the part being exposed to the outside, the lock sensor portion being configured to detect a change in an electrostatic capacity.

Abstract: A vehicle door lock device includes: a first member moving from an initial position to an actuated position so as to switch a latch mechanism, from a latched state to an unlatched state; a second member moving between a mechanical link position and a mechanical link cut position; a third member linked to the second member and holding the second member at the mechanical link cut position and holding the second member at the mechanical link position; a driving force source selectively moving the third member to one of the first and second positions; an operating member moving from an initial position to an actuated position, and moving the third member from the first position to the second position; and a control unit driving the driving force source. The control unit drives the driving force source to move the third member from the first position to the second position.

Abstract: Provided is a vehicle spoiler including a front spoiler provided on a vehicle lower side of a front bumper, an air bag, which is connected with a bottom part of the front bumper and the front spoiler, causes the front spoiler to be in a deployed state by expanding, and causes the front spoiler to be in a stored state by contracting, and a relief valve that reduces inner pressure of the air bag when inner pressure of the air bag increases due to interference of an obstacle on a road with the front spoiler.

Abstract: In a door closed state, a first locking section of a first pole abuts a latch, and the latch is kept in a full-latch position. In addition, a second locking section of a second pole abuts the first pole, and the first pole is kept in an abutting state against the latch. When a door handle is operated, the second pole pivots, the first pole and the latch are unlocked, and a door opening operation is thereby permitted. An arm of moment that is generated around a first pole axis by a force exerted on the first locking section from the latch is shorter than an arm of moment around the first pole axis that generates a force exerted on the second locking section from the first pole.
