Patent number: 7931312Abstract: A door-operating lever is disposed on a base plate of a control unit. A door-operating knob includes an operation output portion that engages with a door-operating lever. When the door-operating knob is operated to open or close a door of a vehicle, the operation output portion engages with the door-operating lever in such a manner that the door-operating lever is rotated in a desired direction to cause a closed-door holding unit or an opened-door holding unit to release the door.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2005Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Assignee: Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shintaro Mochizuki, Masashi Shimizu

Patent number: 7540541Abstract: An apparatus for opening and closing a door of a vehicle includes a knob that is arranged on one door panel, a holding unit that holds the door in a fully closed state, a control unit that is arranged on other door panel, and allows opening and closing of the door by releasing the holding unit in response to an operation of the knob, a link unit that is arranged outside of a moving area of an opening/closing member that opens and closes a window opening of the door, a first wire cable that connects the link unit to the knob, and a second wire cable that connects the link unit to the control unit. The operation of the knob is transmitted to the link unit, and the operation transmitted is relayed by the link unit to the control unit, making the control unit operate.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2004Date of Patent: June 2, 2009Assignee: Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co., Ltd.Inventors: Fumihiro Yoneyama, Shintaro Mochizuki
