Definitions

  • the present invention relates to automobile external door handle units, i.e. handle units intended for mounting on the exteriors of automotive vehicle doors.
  • a door handle unit may often be mounted on its door in such a way that the door can be prepared for opening by manually raising, from outside, a door handle proper of the unit and the door can then be actually opened by the person standing outside the vehicle pulling it open, if an internal push button has previously been pushed down within the vehicle.
  • door handle units of this kind have usually been made by zinc die-casting, or from sheet steel by pressing operations. More recently, however, they have been made of plastics materials, so as to achieve weight reduction.
  • the known door handle unit comprises an external door handle proper and at least one, but generally two, operating arms which are mechanically connected with door lock means arranged in or on the automobile door.
  • the handle proper and the operating arms are united rigidly, and in one piece, when of plastics material.
  • an object of the present invention to provide an automobile external door handle unit in which the occurrence of such disadvantageous contraction marks is minimised or substantially obviated.
  • the automobile external door handle unit comprises an outside door handle proper and at least one operating arm which is mechanically connected with door lock means arranged in an automotive vehicle door, the handle proper and the operating arm being united rigidly and in one piece, being of plastics material, is characterised by the provision of a material-thieving bridge structure at the root end of the operating arm where it is united with the handle proper.
  • the conventional external door handle unit is denoted generally by a reference character "A" in Fig. 1.
  • This comprises an external door handle proper 1 made of a hard and rigid plastics material such as phenolic resin.
  • a pair of remote operating arms 2 and 2a are rigidly united with the door handle proper 1.
  • Numeral 3 indicates a housing element, again of a hard and rigid plastics material and adapted for housing the door handle proper 1 as shown.
  • Numerals 4 and 4a represent a pair of mutually- remote supporting stems which are rigid with the rear portion of the housing element 3, although the respective connecting portions therebetween are not specifically shown.
  • Each of the arms 2, 2a and the respective stems 4, 4a are mutually and pivotably connected by means of pivot pin 5, 5a, respectively. Therefore, the handle proper 1 can be manipulated to turn relative to the housing element 3 and around the common axis, not shown, through the two pins 5 and 5 a.
  • One stop end b' of a return spring 6 surrounding the pin 5 abuts the stem 4, while the opposite stop end 6" thereof abuts on the related arm member 2 for preserving return energy within the coil spring 6.
  • a similar arrangement is made with a respective coil spring 6a relative to the corresponding members 2a and 4a. Similar stop ends of the coil spring 6a are denoted with the numerals 6a' and 6a", respectively.
  • the operating arms 2 and 2a are formed with respective connecting openings 8 and 8a which are mechanically linked, through link means B, so as to enable the door lock to be released by raising the handle proper 1. Upon release of the once raised handle proper 1, the door lock will return to its locked condition under the influence of the return springs 6 and 6a.
  • each arm 2 or 2a is formed with a material-thieving bridging portion 7, 7a respectively.
  • These material-thieving bridges 7 and 7a can be seen clearly in Figs. 3 and 4.
  • the provision of these bridging portions is surprisingly effective to prevent the formation of the contraction marks a 1 , a 2 and a handle unit of highly pleasing appearance is thus obtained.
  • the inventively improved automobile external door handle unit configuration obviates the disadvantageous formation of aesthetically undesirable contraction marks such as those shown and indicated at a 1 and a 2 in Fig. 1, in a particularly simple, yet remarkably meritorious manner.
