ABSTRACT:
A door closing apparatus has a latch mechanism that holds a door in a half-closed state and a fully-closed state to a vehicle body. An actuator drives the door when the door is in the half-closed state, a sector gear rotates as the actuator is driven. A first close lever performs closing action according to rotation of the sector gear, and a second close lever performs a door closing action according to the closing action to cause the latch mechanism to perform the closing action. A cancel lever is swingably disposed to the first close lever via a first spring. The cancel lever comes in engagement with the sector gear in a normal state, while performing a door opening action against the biasing force of the first spring to cancel the engagement with the sector gear when an opening operation of an operation handle is performed.
