Definitions

  • This invention relates to automobile door handle assemblies.
  • the door handle Upon opening of the door, the operator's pressure on the door handle is released. The door handle then automatically returns to an initial position within the casing, under the action of a return spring. It is not unusual, during the return movement of the handle for the tip of one or more of the user's fingers, or his finger nails to be squeezed in the gap which has been created between the inside edge of the handle and the inside wall surface of the casing normally housing the latter (hereinafter referred to as an "escutcheon") or a corresponding part of the door panel, thereby injuring or damaging the finger(s). This is a particularly significant risk when the handle includes a portion directed inwards of the space or recess to terminate at an inside edge which, in its normal position corresponding to door closure, closely confronts the panel or escutcheon.
  • an object of the present invention to provide an improved automobile door handle assembly the construction of which is effective to preventing such physical injury or damage being caused to the operator's finger end(s) during door-opening manipulation, the inside edge of the door handle being designed in its cross-sectional configuration, so as positively to prevent the operator's finger end(s) from entering into the gap as above discussed.
  • the present invention provides a door handle assembly comprising a door panel or escutcheon, said panel or escutcheon being formed to provide a handle-containing space or recess accommodating a pivotable handle so as to be substantially contained therein in its normal position corresponding to door-closure and adapted partially to emerge therefrom in a pulled-out position corresponding to door-opening, said handle including a portion directed inwards of the said space or recess to terminate at an inside edge which, in said normal position, closely confronts the panel or escutcheon, characterised in that said handle is formed at its said inside edge with a thickened portion for the prevention of otherwise possible entry into any gap present or arising between said inside edge of the handle and the confronting part of the escutcheon or door panel resulting in physical injury and/or damage to operator's finger end(s).
  • DE-A-2418712 discloses a door handle assembly in which the handle is formed at its lower inside edge with a thickened portion. This portion is however well spaced from the escutcheon, entry of the finger into the intervening space being essential to operate the handle.
  • the reference numeral 1 indicates an escutcheon which, in the installed condition of the assembly, is attached to an automobile door panel 7 of which only a part is shown.
  • the escutcheon 1 is shaped to provide a recessed open space or recess 1a opening towards the exterior of the vehicle.
  • the reference numeral 2 indicates a handle which in its normal position is contained substantially wholly within the open space or recess 1a.
  • Two arms 3 are formed integrally with the handle 2 and are pivotably mounted by two pivot pins 4 respectively on the upstanding limbs of a stationary U-shaped mounting bracket 16 which is formed integrally with the escutcheon 1 and has its limbs projecting upwards therefrom.
  • a respective return coil spring 5 is mounted on each of the pivot pins 4.
  • the handle 2 is formed, in accordance with this invention, and as shown specifically in Fig. 3, with a thickened end portion 2a at its inside edge 2' when considered in cross- section.
  • the thickened portion 2a it is most preferable for the thickened portion 2a to extend in a downwardly and inwardly inclined direction as shown. In this way, particularly effective safety for the user's finger end(s) can be positively achieved.
  • the door panel 7 per se can be shaped in a manner corresponding to the illustrated escutcheon, in which case the handle 2 will, of course, be mounted so as to be accommodated in a handle-accommodating space or recess formed directly in the door panel, without the use of an intervening escutcheon.
  • This possibility has not been illustrated, since its form will readily be appreciated by those skilled in the art having read the present application.
