Abstract: An opening and closing device of a vehicle sliding door includes: a fully closed latch mechanism; a fully opened latch mechanism; a power releaser; a power closer; a canceler; a lock mechanism; and a relay control mechanism that includes an inner handle. The lock mechanism, the power releaser, and the canceler are disposed in the fully closed latch mechanism. The relay control mechanism includes a handle lever configured to, when a door opening operation is performed on the inner handle, rotate in a first direction to unlatch the fully closed latch mechanism and activate the cancel mechanism, and when a door closing operation is performed on the inner handle, rotate in a second direction to unlatch the fully opened latch mechanism. The inner handle is pivotally supported by the handle case of the relay control mechanism so as to be rotatable in two directions.

By transmission of rotation of the input lever to the output lever when the input lever rotates along with the door opening operation on the inside door handle, a latch unit provided between a vehicle body and a door performs release operation to allow opening movement of the door with respect to the vehicle body. A sub plate is arranged on the base plate in a form of covering the baseplate, an input support shaft for supporting the inside door handle is rotatably arranged on the sub plate, and the input lever is arranged on the input support shaft so as to integrally rotate with the input support shaft.

Abstract: A vehicle door operating device includes an opening inside lever connected to an inside handle in a door inside a vehicle, a childproof lock lever that moves between a childproof unlock position and a childproof lock position; a switch lever, a childproof sensor and a single engagement pin. When the childproof lock lever is in the childproof lock position, opening action of the inside handle cannot be transmitted to a door latch device, but can be transmitted to the switch lever. When the childproof lock lever is in the childproof unlock position, releasing action of the opening inside lever can be transmitted to door latch devices for holding a door closed via a single engagement pin, but cannot be transmitted to the switch lever. When the childproof lock lever is in the childproof lock position, the releasing action of the opening inside lever cannot be transmitted to the door latch device via the engagement pin, but can be transmitted to the switch lever.

Abstract: A vehicle door latch device includes: a latch unit configured to keep a vehicle door in a door-closed state by engaging with a striker of a vehicle body; a power release mechanism configured to make the vehicle door openable by releasing engagement between the latch unit and the striker; a disengagement mechanism installed in a path coupling the power release mechanism with the latch unit, the disengagement mechanism being configured to be switched between a connected state and a disconnected state; and a lever configured to switch the disengagement mechanism from the connected state to the disconnected state. The lever is configured to be connectable to both of a full-open position holder, operating when the vehicle door reaches a full-open position by door-opening slide, and a disengagement operating unit for manual operation.

Abstract: A switch assembly of a vehicle door latch device, the switch assembly includes: a latch switch detecting a position of a latch, the latch being pivotally supported by a latch shaft to be engaged with a striker; a ratchet switch that detecting a position of a ratchet, the ratchet being pivotally supported by a ratchet shaft to be engaged with the latch and prevented reverse rotation of the latch; and a one common switch case that the latch switch and the ratchet switch are installed in the one common switch case. The latch shaft and the ratchet shaft are arranged to be isolated across a striker moving trajectory of the striker. The one common switch case is arranged on a latch body on one side of a striker moving trajectory.
