Abstract
A vehicle handle apparatus is provided with: a handle base fixed to a door of a vehicle; an operation handle rotatably connected to the handle base; and a relay lever which is rotatably connected to the handle base, and which is driven to rotate around a pivot by operating the operation handle. The relay lever is provided with: a sub-lever member including a connecting portion connected to an operating force transmitting member coupled to a door lock device in the door; and a main lever member which is driven to rotate by operating the operation handle. The sub-lever member and the main lever member are pivotally supported around the pivot so as to relatively rotate with respect to each other. The main lever member is connected with the sub-lever member by a connecting element when the connecting element is in a connecting position. The connecting element is withdrawn from said connecting position by inputting a predetermined acceleration, so that a connection of the main lever member with the sub-lever member is released.
