Abstract
A rotating speed of the motor is reduced at a high reduction ratio by using a reduction gear (the first and the second reduction gear), and the unlatch mechanism for conducting unlatch operation of the door lock and the closer mechanism for conducting closer operation of the door lock are separated from each other by the normal and the reverse rotating direction of the second reduction gear. Due to the foregoing, even in the middle of a closing operation conducted by the reverse rotation of the second reduction gear, when the closing operation is stopped and then the motor is normally rotated, it is possible to switch from the stopping position of the closing operation to unlatch operation.
