ABSTRACT:
A vehicle door having an outer panel, an inner panel, a reinforcement provided between the outer and inner panels for absorbing a side impact and a door locking apparatus including a lock lever for changeover the vehicle door from a locking condition to an unlocking condition and vise versa, comprises a bracket for securing the reinforcement to the outer panel, a cam-shaped projection provided on the bracket and an end portion of the lock lever opposedly close to the cam-shaped projection for rotating the lock lever so as to changeover from the locking condition to the unlocking condition, in the event of a sideways collision, when the reinforcement is deformed inwardly and as a result the cam-shaped projection strikes the end portion of the lock lever. Thus constituted door locking apparatus enables to rescue a passenger caught in a car through a door unlocked.
