ABSTRACT:
A vehicle door open-close device which makes it possible to achieve a reduction in numbers of parts and also make the deflection width size of a member5small, to thereby allow an effective use of a vehicle compartment to be aimed at, is produced, comprising a driving mechanism positioned inwardly from a door opening, an operation transfer mechanism to connect this driving mechanism and the vehicle door, the operation transfer mechanism being equipped with a slider member reciprocatingly and linearly moving by the aid of the driving means, and a link member connecting this slider member and the vehicle door, wherein the link member is rotatably connected to the slider member and the vehicle door, and the link member includes a straight portion and a curved portion outwardly and protrudingly curved away from a center of rotation of the vehicle door, and a straight portion5bformed in substantially straight line in a connection part8. And in a process of fully-opening-state or fully-closing-state of the door, the curved portion passes across the door opening seen from the rotation axis direction.
