Door handle device for vehicle

1. A door handle device for a vehicle comprising:

a handle base;

an operation handle;

first and second link members disposed at an interval and rotatably pin-connected to the handle base, respectively, each of the first and second link members consisting of a single link; and

an electric actuator configured to rotatably drive the first link member,

wherein the operation handle is connected to the handle base so as to be able to protrude from an initial position to a use position,

wherein the operation handle is rotatably connected to end portions of the first and second link members,

wherein the handle base, the first and second link members, and the operation handle form a link mechanism in which the operation handle at the use position maintains a posture parallel to the initial position, and

wherein the link of one of the first and second link members is pin-connected to the operation handle, and the link of the other is connected to the operation handle by a slide hole and a connecting pin attached to the operation handle, which connecting pin fits in the slide hole.

2. The door handle device for a vehicle according to claim 1 ,

wherein a torsion spring restraining the link mechanism is attached to the operation handle or the link of one of the first and second link members.

3. The door handle device for a vehicle according to claim 2 ,

wherein the operation handle is swingable around a connection point with one of the first and second link members at the initial position,

wherein a cylinder lock is fixed to the handle base, and

wherein the cylinder lock is covered by the operation handle at the initial position and capable of being operated by an unlocking key in a swinging state.

4. The door handle device for a vehicle according to claim 3 ,

wherein the operation handle includes a pressing operation portion at an end portion of a swing center side, and

wherein the pressing operation portion is configured to shift the operation handle to the swinging state by a pushing operation.

5. The door handle device for a vehicle according to claim 2 ,

wherein connecting pins of the first and second link members, the operation handle, and the handle base are arranged in positions forming a parallel crank, and

wherein a connection portion of the second link member and the operation handle includes the slide hole, which is a triangular slide hole into which the connecting pin of the operation handle is movably fitted.

6. The door handle device for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting pin moves from the predetermined portion of the slide hole to a second portion of the slide hole against a force of the torsion spring so that the operation handle moves from the use position to the unlatched position at which a door latch device is unlatched.

7. The door handle device for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the slide hole has a triangular shape.
