Abstract

A vehicular door device includes an inclinable lever provided at an open-side end portion of a door opening being opened and closed by a door, based on an operation of a link mechanism formed of first and second link arms, a biasing member that biases the inclinable lever and holds the inclinable lever in an erect state, and a check mechanism that engages with the inclinable lever in the erect state by movement of the door to a full opened position, and holds the door at the full opened position. The first link arm is provided at a position close to the open-side end portion of the door opening by an opening operation of the door, and the check mechanism is provided integrally with the first link arm. Then, the inclinable lever is stored in a clearance between the door and the open-side end portion of the door opening.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A vehicular door device comprising:
a first link arm and a second link arm that include a first rotary coupling point with respect to a vehicle body, and a second rotary coupling point with respect to a door of a vehicle;
an inclinable lever provided at an open-side end portion of a door opening being opened and closed by the door, based on an operation of a link mechanism formed of the first and second link arms;
a biasing member that biases the inclinable lever, and holds the inclinable lever in an erect state; and
a check mechanism that engages with the inclinable lever in the erect state by movement of the door to a full opened position, and holds the door at the full opened position, wherein
the first link arm is provided at a position close to the open-side end portion of the door opening by an opening operation performed by the door,
the check mechanism is provided in the first link arm, and
the inclinable lever is stored in a clearance between the door and the open-side end portion of the door opening by being pressed by the door moving to a full closed position, and the inclinable lever is inclined in the erect state by being released by the door moving out of the full closed position.

2. The vehicular door device according to claim 1 , wherein the check mechanism includes
a pair of engagement members disposed at positions facing each other, and
biasing members that bias the pair of engagement members in a direction where the pair of engagement members are brought close to each other, and
engages with the inclinable lever in a state where the inclinable lever is inserted between the pair of engagement members.

3. The vehicular door device according to claim 1 , wherein
an outer-side seal member and an inner-side seal member are disposed away in a vehicle width direction, in the clearance between the door and the open-side end portion of the door opening, and
the inclinable lever is stored at a position between the outer-side seal member and the inner-side seal member.

4. The vehicular door device according to claim 1 , wherein
the check mechanism includes an abutment portion, provided at the open-side end portion of the door opening, against a support member of the inclinable lever, and a cushion member is provided in at least one of the abutment portion and the support member of the inclinable lever.
