ABSTRACT:
A power-closing vehicle door lock device comprises a spring-returned latch rotatably mounted on a base plate and having a U-shaped groove for engaging a striker, a spring-returned ratchet rotatably mounted on the plate and engaged to the latch after the latch rotates to a closed-lid position thereby preventing the latch from rotating to an open-lid position, a pressing link slidably engaged to the latch for rotating the latch to the closed-lid position from the open-lid position, an open lever rotatably engaged to the ratchet for reliefing the ratchet from the latch and permitting the latch to rotate to the open-lid position, an actuator for moving the pressing link to rotate the latch into the closed-lid position when moving in a first direction and rotating the lever to permit the latch to rotate to the open-lid position when moving in a second direction, a manual-open handle connected to the lever, and a deformed oval opening formed in the lever so as to guide motion of the pressing link. The opening is made from a first guide for leading the pressing link until the latch rotates to the closed-lid position, and a second guide for leading the pressing link along a direction for making the pressing link leaved from the latch after the latch rotates to the closed-lid position.
