Abstract:
1. A vehicle door lock device comprising: a latch mechanism including a latch and a pawl, the latch mechanism adapted to be capable of holding a vehicle door in a closed state relative to a vehicle body; a lock mechanism including an open lever linked with the pawl so that the door can be locked, the lock mechanism combined with the latch mechanism; a latch-side axial support portion provided in a latch housing of the latch mechanism which rotatably supports a coil portion of a pawl spring for biasing the pawl toward a default position; and a lock-side axial support portion provided in a lock housing of the lock mechanism which rotatably supports a coil portion of an open lever spring for biasing the open lever toward a default position, wherein at least part of the latch-side axial support portion overlaps with the lock-side axial support portion so that pulling out of the open lever spring is prevented by means of the latch-side axial support portion, and the lock-side axial support portion and the latch-side axial support portion are disposed off-center relative to each other, and pulling out of the pawl spring is prevented by means of the lock-side axial support portion.
