Abstract
A door handle stroke change structure includes a latch mechanism, an electric latch drive mechanism, a mechanical latch drive mechanism, and an operation member which operates the electric latch drive mechanism and the mechanical latch drive mechanism. The operation member is moveable among a closed position, a first position at which the electric latch drive mechanism is operated, and a second position at which the mechanical latch drive mechanism is operated. A motion to move the operation member from the closed position to the first position is a same motion as a motion to move the operation member from the closed position to the second position. A movement amount of the operation member from the closed position to the first position is greater than a movement amount of the operation member from the closed position to the second position by the motion.
