- seat 15 formed on the lever, and heads 18 and 19 may differ from those indicated by way of example.
- seat 15 may be formed on frame 5, and heads 18 and 19 be carried by the lever, still, however, in such a manner as to prevent translation of the lever in directions perpendicular to the hinge axis.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a vehicle door handle.
- Vehicle doors in general, and motor vehicle doors in particular, are opened by means of a handle, wherein an elongated frame is fitted inside the door and supports an operating lever. The lever normally has a control end portion connected, in use, to the respective lock, and an opposite end portion connected to the frame to rotate, with respect to the frame, between an extracted lock-release position and a withdrawn rest position.
- The hinge of known handles of the above type must allow the operating lever to rotate with respect to the frame, and also permit connection of the lever to the frame when the frame is fitted inside the door. For which reason, the frame of known handles normally has a fixed hinge pin parallel to the hinge axis; and the lever terminates in a fork, the arms of which extend substantially perpendicularly to the pin to define an extension of the lever, and house the pin in between. The pin is retained between the arms by one or more portions of the lever, which, when the lever is connected to the frame, face respective shoulders or contact surfaces on the frame at all times.
- Though widely used, known handles of the above type are unsatisfactory, mainly on account of the way in which the handle is hinged to the frame failing to ensure pure rotation of the lever about a fixed hinge axis. That is, the slack always present between the pin and the fork, and the distance between the lever surfaces and the shoulders on the frame, allow the lever to translate freely in directions perpendicular to the pin, thus resulting, when rotating the lever, in annoying, undesired vibration and relative sliding of the lever and frame, which increase release resistance and, therefore, the force required of the user on the lever, and result in scoring and/or abrasion of the sliding surfaces, which, when visible, impair the appearance of the handle.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a handle designed to provide a straightforward, low-cost solution to the above problems.
- According to the present invention, there is provided a handle for a vehicle door, the handle comprising a frame fittable to the door; a control lever which is gripped by a user; and hinge means for hinging said lever to said frame; characterized in that said hinge means comprise at least one cylindrical seat coaxial with a fixed hinge axis and carried by one of said frame and said lever; and at least one substantially cylindrical first head carried by the other of said frame and said lever; the first head being defined laterally by a lateral surface complementary to at least one portion of the surface defining said seat and coaxial with said axis to engage the seat in rotary manner; and elastic forcing means being provided to maintain mutual contact of said surfaces regardless of the position of the lever with respect to the frame, and being deformable to permit withdrawal of the first head from said seat.
- In the handle defined above, said first head, said seat, and said elastic means preferably form part of a releasable click-on connecting device.
- A non-limiting embodiment of the invention will be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Figures 1 and 2 show two different sections, with parts removed for clarity, of a preferred embodiment of the handle according to the present invention;
- Figure 3 shows a view in perspective, with parts removed for clarity, of an end portion of the Figure 1. and 2 handle.
-
- Number 1 in the accompanying drawings indicates as a whole a handle fittable to a
body 2 of a door 3 (shown partly) of a vehicle (not shown) to control a lock (not shown) ondoor 3. - Handle 1 comprises a
frame 5 fittable insidedoor 3 and in turn comprising anend portion 6 having an end wall 7, and two facinglateral walls 8 extending from end wall 7. - The frame is fitted with a lock-
control lever 9 comprising an elongatedintermediate portion 10 which is gripped by the user; an end portion (not shown) connected to the lock; and anopposite end portion 11 hinged toportion 6 offrame 5 by a releasable click-onhinge device 13 to rotate about afixed hinge axis 14 perpendicular towalls 8 and parallel to wall 7. - As shown in Figure 3 and particularly in Figures 1 and 2,
hinge device 13 comprises an elongatedcylindrical seat 15 coaxial withaxis 14, formed inportion 11 oflever 9, and communicating with the outside through a flared, elongated inlet opening 16 facing end wall 7 and defining, together withcylindrical seat 15, an axial keyhole-shaped groove. -
Seat 15 is engaged by twoheads 18 and by ahead 19, which are all substantially semicylindrical, form part ofdevice 13, and are arranged side by side alongaxis 14. More specifically,heads 18 are lateral heads, extend on opposite axial sides of head 19 (Figure 3), and are defined laterally by respective identicalcylindrical surfaces 18a, each complementary to a respective portion of the cylindricalsurface defining seat 15, so as to engageseat 15 solely in rotary manner aboutaxis 14.Heads 18 are each connected integrally to a respectivelateral wall 8 and to end wall 7, are conveniently formed in one piece withframe 5, and have respective outer lateral milledportions 20 lying in a common plane P parallel toaxis 14 and perpendicular towalls 7 and 8. As shown, particularly in Figure 1, plane P extends facing aflat surface 22 connectingcylindrical seat 15 to inlet opening 16 (Figures 1 and 3), and at such a distance fromsurface 22 that, when milledportions 20 are positioned contactingsurface 22,heads 18 can be detached fromseat 15 by simply withdrawingheads 18 in a direction substantially perpendicular toaxis 14. - As shown in the accompanying drawings,
head 19 is the same shape and size asheads 18, but rotated 180° with respect toheads 18 about an axis perpendicular toaxis 14 and wall 7. More specifically,head 19 is defined laterally by acylindrical surface 19a complementary to a respective portion of the cylindricalsurface defining seat 15, so as to engage 15 solely in rotary manner aboutaxis 14. Likeheads 18,head 19 also has an outer lateral milledportion 24, which lies in a plane P1 parallel to and at a distance from plane P and on the diametrically opposite side ofaxis 14 to plane P, and extends facing a portion ofseat 15 adjacent to opening 16 (Figure 2). -
Head 19 is connected integrally to the end of anelastic arm 25, which projects from wall 7, perpendicularly toaxis 14 and to wall 7, to define, together withhead 19, anelastic device 26 for keepingheads 18 insideseat 15, and which is deformable elastically to permit withdrawal ofheads 18 fromseat 15.Arm 25,head 19,frame 5, andheads 18 conveniently define a one-piece body. - As of the condition in which
heads seat 15 in rotary and transversely fixed manner,lever 9 is disconnected fromframe 5 as follows: to begin with, usingportion 10,portion 11 oflever 9 is rotated and at the same time conveniently moved in a direction parallel towalls 7 and 8 to detach it fromfixed heads 18; during this movement, the force exerted byhead 19 onarm 25 gradually flexes arm 25 (Figure 2), gradually detachessurfaces 18a ofheads 18 from the surface defining the inside ofseat 15, and gradually moves milledportions 20 towardssurface 22; upon milledportions 20 contactingsurface 22,lever 9 is pulled in a direction substantially perpendicular toaxis 14, so thathead 19 and milledportions 20 slide alongflat surface 22, andheads seat 15 to releaselever 9 angularly fromframe 5. -
Lever 9 is reassembled toframe 5 by simply insertingheads lever 9 towards end wall 7. When so doing, the force exerted onhead 19flexes arm 25 to allowportion 11 oflever 9 to be pushed towards end wall 7 untilheads seat 15. - The presence of
heads heads frame 5 therefore provide, on the one hand, for simply clickinglever 9 ontoframe 5, and, on the other, once the connection is made, for rotatinglever 9 about a fixed hinge axis, thus preventing any translation oflever 9 in directions crosswise to the hinge axis. - Providing an elastic member for maintaining contact between
heads cylindrical seat 15 eliminates any vibration oflever 9 and, therefore, any annoying noise. - Finally, the fact that the hinge method described prevents any translation of the lever with respect to the frame, the resulting handles, as compared with known types, are more attractive in appearance by eliminating scoring and/or abrasions on the mating surfaces in relative motion.
- Clearly, changes may be made to handle 1 as described herein without, however, departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular,
seat 15 formed on the lever, andheads seat 15 may be formed onframe 5, andheads - Finally, the lever may be formed otherwise than as shown by way of example, and be hinged to a different portion of
frame 5; different elastic means may be provided for forcing the heads inside the seat; and, obviously, a cylindrical seat may be provided for each head.
