Abstract
An outer handle device for a vehicle door includes: a base mounted on an outer panel from an inside of the outer panel; an operating handle disposed on an outside of the outer panel and having a support shaft that extends along a swing axis on a support arm part entering the inside of the outer panel from the outside thereof; and a support member that is fitted to the base, engages with the support shaft from a rear, makes a front end of the support arm part abut against an abutment receiving part while the operating handle is swinging, and restrains displacement of the support shaft toward the outer panel. The base is provided with a restricting part that makes contact with the support arm part when the operating handle swings, thus restricting displacement of the operating handle in moving away inwardly from the outer panel.
