A fender structure of a motor vehicle. A fender includes a vertical wall portion, a mounting portion adapted to be mounted on an apron upper member of the vehicle, and an inclined portion formed between the vertical wall and the mounting portion, the inclined portion extending downward and inward as
A fender structure of a motor vehicle. A fender includes a vertical wall portion, a mounting portion adapted to be mounted on an apron upper member of the vehicle, and an inclined portion formed between the vertical wall and the mounting portion, the inclined portion extending downward and inward as viewed in a width direction of the vehicle. The fender structure also includes first ribs formed on a lower surface of the inclined portion of the fender such that the first ribs face the apron upper member, fragile portions formed at a boundary between the vertical wall portion and the inclined portion, and second ribs formed on a portion of the vertical wall portion of the fender which is located above the apron upper member so as to extend in the vertical direction of the vehicle.

An electric door lock device comprising: a lock device including a latch plate engageable with a striker and a locking plate engageable with the latch plate to lock the same; a drive device including a reversible electric motor, a moving member driven by the electric motor, and a half-latch switch capable of sensing a half-latch position of the latch plate relative to the locking plate, the half-latch switch being arranged to issue a half-latch representing signal when the latch plate is about to take the half-latch position during a movement thereof that is induced when the door is being closed; a closure mechanism which, upon sensing of the half-latch position by the half-latch switch, induces rotation of the electric motor in a normal direction to move the moving member from a neutral position thereby moving the latch plate to a full-latch position relative to the locking plate, and upon arrival of the moving member at a reverse rotation position, induces rotation of the electric motor in a reversed direction thereby to return the moving member to the neutral position and stops rotation of the electric motor; and a control unit which is configured to carry out a given controlling of the electric motor when a given operation is carried out, the given operation being an operation wherein under operation of the closure mechanism, the door is moved in a close direction passing through the operative position of the half-latch switch and then moved back in an open direction at a position just before the half-latch position. the given controlling being so made that when the moving member takes a position other than the neutral position upon completion of the given operation, the electric motor is rotated in a reversed direction to move the moving member to the neutral position, and when the moving member takes the neutral position upon completion of the given operation, the electric motor is stopped to keep the moving member at the neutral position; wherein two swing turns of the latch plate sensed by the half-latch switch at the time when the door is moved in a close direction passing through the operative position of the half-latch switch and moved back in an open direction at the position just before the half-latch position are used as an information signal for controlling the electric motor; wherein said lock further comprises an opening mechanism which, upon sensing manipulation of a handle, induces rotation of the electric motor in a reversed direction to move the moving member from the neutral position in a direction to cancel a locked engagement between the latch plate and the locking plate, and upon arrival of the moving member at the reverse rotation position, induces rotation of the electric motor in a reversed direction to return the moving member to the neutral position and stops rotation of the electric motor; and wherein said door lock device further comprises: a cam possessed by the moving member; a close detecting switch engageable with the cam, and an open detecting switch engageable with the cam, wherein when the close and open detecting switches assume respective operative positions, the control unit stops operation of the electric motor judging that the moving member has taken the neutral position, when the close detecting switch assumes an operative position and the open detecting switch assumes an inoperative position, the control unit continues rotation of the electric motor in a normal direction judging that the moving member has taken a first position other than the neutral position, when the close detecting switch assumes an inoperative position and the open detecting switch assumes an operative position, the control unit continues rotation of the electric motor in a reversed direction judging that the moving member has taken a second position other than the first and neutral positions, and when the close and open detecting switches assume respective inoperative positions,
