Abstract
An outer handle device for a vehicle door includes: an outer handle having a supported portion on one end part thereof in a longitudinal direction; a support member having paired leg portions sandwiching the supported portion from opposite sides; and a base having paired support side walls sandwiching the leg portions from opposite sides. The supported portion is pivotably supported on the support member attached to the base by the leg portion engaging with the support side wall. A restriction device is provided between the supported portion and the support member, the restriction device restricting displacement of the support member toward a side on which engagement of the support member with the base is released at least when pulling the outer handle. Accordingly, it is possible to maintain a state in which the support member is attached to the base, even when the outer handle is forcibly pulled.
