A vehicle door lock device includes an active lever freely switchable between an unlock position and a lock position, a switching actuator, and a switching lever receiving drive force of the switching actuator to move a bushing. The active lever includes a first engagement piece and a second engagement piece. When the active lever is located at the unlock position, the second engagement piece engages with the first engagement piece located at a set position of the bushing to limit movement of the switching lever so that movement of the bushing is restricted within a range between an unset position and the set position. When the active lever is located at the lock position, the first engagement piece is arranged at a position avoiding engagement with the second engagement piece to allow the switching lever to move the bushing between the unset position and a double lock position.

Disclosed is a fine particle dispersion which is superior in dispersibility and storage stability. Specifically disclosed is a fine particle dispersion in which a fine particle (P) comprised of one type or not less than two types of a metal, an alloy, and/or a metallic compound, having a mean particle diameter of between 1 nm and 150 nm for primary particles thereof, with being coated at least a part of a surface thereof with a polymer dispersing agent (D), is dispersed in a mixed organic solvent. This fine particle dispersion is characterized in that a weight ratio of (D/P) between the polymer dispersing agent (D) coating the surface of the fine particle (P) and the fine particles (P) in the dispersion is between 0.001 and 10, and the mixed organic solvent is one of: (i) a mixed organic solvent which contains an organic solvent (A) as between 50% and 95% by volume having an amide group, and a low boiling point organic solvent (B) as between 5% and 50% by volume having a boiling point of between 20° C. and 100° C. at a normal pressure; (ii) a mixed organic solvent which contains the organic solvent (A) as between 50% and 95% by volume having the amide group, and an organic solvent (C) as between 5% and 50% by volume having a boiling point of higher than 100° C. at a normal pressure and comprised of an alcohol and/or a polyhydric alcohol having one or not less than two hydroxyl groups in a molecule thereof; or (iii) a mixed organic solvent which contains the organic solvent (A) as between 50% and 94% by volume having the amide group, the low boiling point organic solvent (B) as between 5% and 49% by volume having the boiling point of between 20° C. and 100° C. at the normal pressure, and the organic solvent (C) as between 1% and 45% by volume having the boiling point of higher than 100° C. at the normal pressure and comprised of the alcohol and/or the polyhydric alcohol having the one or not less than the two hydroxyl groups in the molecule thereof.

Disclosed is a method for producing a fine particle dispersion such as a dispersion of metal fine particles which is superior in dispersibility and storage stability. Specifically disclosed is a method for producing a fine particle dispersion wherein fine particles of a metal or the like, having a mean particle diameter of between 1 nm and 150 nm for primary particles, are dispersed in an organic solvent. This method for producing a fine particle dispersion is characterized by comprising the steps of: reducing a metal ion by liquid phase reduction in an aqueous solution wherein the metal ion and a polymer dispersing agent are dissolved, thereby forming a fine particle dispersion aqueous solution wherein fine particles having a mean particle diameter of between 1 nm and 150 nm for the primary particles and dispersed with being coated by the polymer dispersing agent (Process 1); adding an aggregation accelerator into the fine particle dispersion aqueous solution, the resulting solution is agitated for agglomerating or precipitating the fine particles, and then the agglomerated or precipitated fine particles are separated from the aqueous solution, thereby obtaining fine particles comprised of one type or not less than two types of a metal, an alloy and a metallic compound (Process 2); and re-dispersing the thus-obtained fine particles into an organic solvent or the like which contains an organic solvent (A) as between 25% and 70% by volume having an amide group, a low boiling point organic solvent (B) as between 5% and 25% by volume having a boiling point of between 20° C. and 100° C. at a normal pressure, and an organic solvent (C) as between 5% and 70% by volume having a boiling point of higher than 100° C. at a normal pressure and comprised of an alcohol and/or a polyhydric alcohol having one or not less than two hydroxyl groups in a molecule thereof (Process 3).
