  Here, in general, the side handle is attached to the door panel by the operator holding the side handle in one hand, inserting the bolt of the bezel through the bolt insertion hole, and engaging the nut with the other hand. Done. Further, the bolt insertion hole provided on the door panel side is formed in a relatively large shape (for example, a long hole shape or the like) in order to improve the insertability of the bolt into the bolt insertion hole. For this reason, when fastening a bolt and a nut, the attachment position of the side handle with respect to a vehicle body panel may shift. In such a case, an operation for correcting the positional deviation occurs, so that the assembly operation of the side handle to the door panel becomes complicated.

  Further, for example, if a gap is formed between the outer peripheral portion of the bezel of the side handle and the peripheral edge portion of the door panel opening due to the position shift of the side handle, it may affect the appearance of the appearance. In particular, when the side handle is displaced laterally, if the shape of the side handle is horizontally long, the amount of gap between the lateral outer periphery of the bezel and the outer peripheral edge of the opening is relatively small. However, when the shape of the side handle is vertically long, it may be larger than the gap amount of the horizontally long side handle, which may affect the appearance.

  Accordingly, the present invention provides a side handle assembly that can improve the assembly workability and appearance of the vehicle body panel by preventing the side handle position shift, particularly the lateral position shift. The purpose is to provide a structure.

In order to achieve the above object, a side handle assembly structure according to the present invention includes a vehicle body panel, a side handle, and a gasket. The vehicle body panel has an opening. The side handle includes a bezel that is fixed to the periphery of the opening and covers the opening, and a door handle that is rotatably supported by the bezel. The gasket is sandwiched between the peripheral edge of the opening and the bezel. The bezel is provided with an interval in the vertical direction on one end side in the horizontal direction, and can be inserted into one side of the peripheral edge of the opening from the horizontal direction, and the other side in the horizontal direction. At least one provided on the end side, and after inserting the first insertion part into one side of the peripheral part of the opening, a second insertion part that can be inserted from the lateral direction into the other side of the peripheral part of the opening; And is temporarily held with respect to the vehicle body panel in a state where the first insertion portion and the second insertion portion are inserted into the peripheral edge portion of the opening. The gasket has an elastically deformable protrusion that protrudes rearward on one end side of the bezel. The first insertion portion and the protruding portion are disposed at different vertical positions in the vertical direction of the bezel with the gasket mounted on the bezel. The protrusion is formed integrally with the gasket, and when the first insertion part is inserted into one side of the peripheral part of the opening, the protrusion comes into contact with one side of the peripheral part of the opening and elastically deforms, and the second insertion When the portion is inserted to the other side of the peripheral edge of the opening, the lateral movement of the bezel with respect to the vehicle body panel is restricted to define the position of the bezel.

  In the above configuration, the side handle is attached to the vehicle body panel by first inserting the first insertion portion of the bezel into one side of the peripheral portion of the opening, and then connecting the second insertion portion to the other side of the peripheral portion of the opening. This is done by plugging in. When the first insertion part is inserted into one side of the peripheral part of the opening, the protrusion formed on the gasket comes into contact with one side of the peripheral part of the opening and elastically deforms, and the second insertion part is changed to the peripheral part of the opening. When it is inserted into the other side, the lateral movement of the bezel is restricted by the protrusion, and the position of the bezel is defined. Moreover, in the state which inserted the 1st insertion part and 2nd insertion part of the bezel in the peripheral part of each opening, a side handle is temporarily hold | maintained with respect to a vehicle body panel. For this reason, when the first insertion portion and the second insertion portion are respectively inserted into the peripheral edge portion of the opening, the bezel is positioned at a predetermined position of the vehicle body panel by the protrusion, and in this state, the first insertion portion and the second insertion portion It is temporarily held with respect to the vehicle body panel by the two insertion portions. Accordingly, when the side handle is fixed (fixed) to the vehicle body panel with a bolt or the like, the position of the side handle is difficult to shift, so that the workability of assembling the side handle can be reliably improved.

  Further, in the state where the bezel is temporarily held at a predetermined position of the vehicle body panel, the lateral movement of the bezel is restricted by the protrusion. That is, it is possible to effectively prevent a gap from being formed between the lateral end of the bezel and one side or the other side of the peripheral edge of the opening. Accordingly, it is possible to reliably prevent the appearance from being deteriorated due to the gap formed in the lateral direction of the side handle.

  Moreover, you may form in the protrusion part the taper-shaped end surface which inclines toward the one end part side of this bezel toward the bezel.

  In the above configuration, when the first insertion part of the bezel is inserted into one side of the peripheral part of the opening, the peripheral part moves in the insertion direction on the end face formed in a tapered shape, and the first insertion part Plugged into. Therefore, the insertion of the first insertion part into one side of the peripheral part of the opening is not hindered by the projection part, so the first insertion part is easily and smoothly inserted into one side of the peripheral part of the opening. be able to.

  Further, in a state where the first insertion portion is inserted into one side of the peripheral portion of the opening, that is, in a state where the peripheral portion is disposed on the end surface of the protrusion, the second insertion portion of the bezel is connected to the peripheral portion of the opening. When inserted into the other side of the part, one side of the peripheral part of the opening moves on the end surface of the projecting part toward one end of the projecting part. That is, when the second insertion portion is inserted into the other side of the peripheral portion of the opening, one end of the peripheral portion of the opening is not sandwiched between the first insertion portion and the protrusion, and the end surface of the protrusion It is possible to move up towards its one end. Accordingly, even when the second insertion portion is inserted into the other side of the peripheral portion of the opening, it can be easily and smoothly inserted as in the case where the first insertion portion is inserted into one side of the peripheral portion of the opening.

  Moreover, you may arrange | position a projection part in the approximate center position of the height direction of two 1st insertion parts.

  In the above configuration, when the bezel is moved and one side of the peripheral edge of the opening is inserted into the two first insertion parts, one side of the peripheral edge of the opening is set to 2 without applying excessive force to the bezel. It is possible to insert into one first insertion part. Therefore, the assembly workability of the side handle can be further improved.

  According to the present invention, since it is possible to suppress the displacement of the side handle with respect to the vehicle body panel, it is possible to reliably improve the assembling workability and appearance of the side handle.
