Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial field of application> The present invention relates to an outside door handle for unlocking an automobile door lock.

<Prior Art> Outside door handles of automobiles are mainly used for unlocking door locks, and various proposals have been made.
Among them, the lever type and the bar type are now widely used.

FIG. 4 shows a conventional lever type outside door handle.

As shown in the figure, the door handle 101 has a pair of curved arms 102 integrally formed on the back surface,
The base end of each arm 102 is rotatably attached to a support pin 103 fixed to a door (not shown). The door handle 101 is connected to a door lock release lever via a connecting lever and a rod (not shown). The door handle 101 is biased in the locking direction by a spring (not shown).

To open the door, the door handle 101 is gripped and pulled in the direction of the arrow in the figure. Then, the pivotal movement of the door handle 101 operates the door lock release lever via the connecting lever and the rod to unlock the door lock.

FIG. 5 shows a conventional bar type outside door handle.

As shown in the figure, the door handle 105 is in the shape of a square rod, and both ends thereof are bent inward. Then, one end is rotatably attached to a support pin 106 fixed to a door (not shown). On the other hand, an engagement hole 107 is formed at the other end,
The upper end of the connecting lever 108 is engaged with the engaging hole 107. The connecting lever 108 is pivotally supported on the door,
The lower end is connected to a door lock release lever (not shown) via a rod 109. The door handle 105 is biased in the locking direction by a spring (not shown).

In order to open the door, the door handle 105 is gripped and pulled in the direction of the arrow in the figure. Then, the door handle 105 rotates about the support pin 106 as a fulcrum, and the rotation operation operates the door lock release lever via the connecting lever 108 and the rod 109 to unlock the door lock.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> When an automobile door is to be opened, it is necessary to unlock the door by rotating the door handle and open the door by pulling the door handle.

In the conventional outside door handle mentioned above,
The door handle 101 shown in FIG. 4 was opened by an operator pulling up the door handle 101 from below to unlock the door lock and then grasping and pulling the door handle 101 when the door was opened. This continuous operation was difficult, and children had to use both hands to open the door, and the operability was poor.

Further, the door handle 105 shown in FIG. 5 is opened by the operator holding the door handle 105 when the door is opened, unlocking the pulling door lock, and then pulling the door handle as it is. This operation is easier to operate than the one described above,
The direction in which the door handle 105 is pulled (front of the vehicle) is limited, and it becomes difficult to operate depending on the operation position.

The present invention solves such a problem,
It is an object of the present invention to provide an outside door handle with improved operability of the door handle.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The outside door handle of the present invention for achieving the above-mentioned object is provided with an outside straight portion that is swingably supported by a door of an automobile to perform an unlocking operation of a door lock. Bifurcated restricting portions formed to face each other with the curved portions are provided on both side portions of the door handle, and the restricting portions engage with a pair of left and right support pins fixed to the door,
Both side portions of the door handle are rotatably and slidably supported outwardly with respect to the support pins, and one end portion of a connecting lever is connected to a central portion of the door handle. The other end of the door lock and the door lock are connected via a rod.

<Operation> The door handle is operated so that the straight and curved portions of the left and right restricting portions are engaged with the support pins of the door, so that both side portions are supported rotatably and slidably outward. The operator can unlock the door lock by pulling any position of the door handle, which improves the operability.

<Example> Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2 show an outside door handle according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 shows an automobile equipped with the outside door handle.

As shown in FIG. 3, the front door 2 of the automobile 1 can be opened forward by a pair of door hinges 3 attached to the front portion. A door lock 4 and an outside door handle 5 for unlocking the door lock 4 are attached to the rear portion of the door 2. In addition, this door lock 4
The outside door handle 5 and the outside door handle 5 are connected by a rod 6.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the outside door handle 5 is formed by a pair of frame bodies 11 and 12 in a ring shape, and its flange portions 13 and 14 are fixed by bolts 15. Has been done.

The door handle 5 is formed with bifurcated restricting portions 16 on both inner sides, and the restricting portion 16 has a straight portion 17 and a curved portion 18 on its inner side surface. Then, by fitting the restriction portion 16 to the support pins 19 and 20 fixed to the door 2,
The door handle 5 is rotatable and slidable with respect to the support pins 19 and 20.

An engagement hole 21 is formed in the center of the inside of the door handle 5. The engaging hole 21 has a connecting lever 22 whose one end is connected to the door lock 4 via the rod 6.
The other end of the is engaged.

The connecting lever 22 is rotatably supported on the door 2 by a support shaft 23 and is urged in a direction to pull up the rod 6 by a spring (not shown). Therefore, the door handle 5 is biased by the biasing force in the locking direction, that is, the direction of the arrow in FIG.

This door handle 5, as shown in FIG.
In the state of being attached to, the flange portions 13 and 14 are restrained by the bracket 25 fixed to the door panel 24, and the movement amount thereof is restricted.

When opening the door 2, the operator holds the door handle 5 and pulls it toward you. At this time, for example, when the front portion (left side in FIGS. 1 and 2) of the door handle 5 is grasped and pulled, the door handle 5 is supported by the support pin 20.
Rotate around as a fulcrum. Then, the connecting lever 22 is rotated via the engaging hole 21 in the central portion, and this operating force is transmitted to the release lever of the door lock 4 via the rod 6 to unlock the door lock 4.

Further, when the rear portion of the door handle 5 (right side in FIGS. 1 and 2) is grasped and pulled, the door handle 5
Rotates about the support pin 19 as a fulcrum, and its operating force is transmitted to the door lock 4 and unlocked as in the above.

Further, when the center portion of the door handle 5 is grasped and pulled, the door handle 5 slides by using the support pins 19 and 20 as support members, and the operation force thereof is transmitted to the door lock 4 and released in the same manner as described above. Lock.

Then, after the door lock 4 is unlocked, the door 2 is opened by pulling the door handle 5 while holding the door handle 5 as it is.

In this way, when the door 2 is opened,
The door lock 4 can be unlocked at any position on the periphery or by pulling any part of the door handle 5.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above in detail with reference to the embodiments, according to the outside door handle of the present invention, the outside linear handle and the curved portion for locking and unlocking the door lock of the automobile are provided. Bifurcated restricting parts are provided on both sides of the door handle, and by engaging these restricting parts with a pair of left and right support pins of the door, both side parts of the door handle are pivoted outward with respect to each supporting pin It supports freely and slidably, and since the center part of the door handle is connected to the door lock via the connecting lever and the rod, the door lock can be unlocked no matter where the operator pulls the door handle. Can
The operability of the door handle can be improved.
