Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention relates to an improvement of the vehicle opener handle device mounting structure, and more specifically, it aims to save space, improve the appearance, and prevent the intrusion of foreign objects as much as possible. The present invention relates to a vehicle opener handle device mounting structure.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there have been structures for mounting an opener handle device on a vehicle, such as those shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, for example. In the figure, 1a is a sill inner, which together with a sill outer 1b constitutes a sill 1, and an opener handle device 2 is attached to this sill inner 1a. Opener handle device 2
consists of a handle base 3 fixed to the sill inner 1a with screws B ₁ and B ₂ , a handle 4 rotatably attached to the handle base 3, and a handle protruding from the side where the handle 4 is attached to the handle base 3. A spring shaft 5 is provided with a spring 5a attached thereto to urge the actuator 4 to a non-operating state, that is, to a neutral position. The handle 4 has an operating part 4a at its upper end, and a cable attachment part 4 at its lower end.
It has b. A carpet 6 covers the opener handle device 2 with the operating portion 4a of the handle 4 protruding, and the handle 4 passes through a handle through hole 6a provided in the carpet 6. Further, a polypropylene retainer 7 is attached to the back surface of the carpet 6.
The bent portion 7a is the sill inner 1a and the sill outer 1b.
It is engaged with the joint part 1c with. Reference numeral 8 denotes a kicking plate made of polypropylene that covers the end of the carpet 6 and the sill outer 1b.

A cable 9 is attached to the cable attachment portion 4b of the handle 4, and this cable 9 is connected to an intermediate bracket 10 fixed to the vehicle body. In addition, a cable 1 is attached to the intermediate bracket 10 so as to be linked to the pull/push operation of the cable 9.
1 and 12 are connected, with cable 11 being connected to fuel lid 13 and cable 12 being connected to back door lock 14.

Because of the above-described configuration, when the occupant grasps the operating portion 4a of the handle 4 and rotates it upward or downward from the non-operating state, the cable 9 is pushed or pulled as the handle 4 rotates. Since the operation is transmitted to the fuel lid 13 or the back door lock 14 via the cable 11 or cable 12, the opening operation of the fuel lid 13 or the release of the back door lock 14 can be performed inside the vehicle.

However, such a conventional opener handle device mounting structure has the following problems.

That is, since the handle through hole 6a provided in the carpet 6 to allow the handle 4 to pass therethrough faces upward, the internal structure is visible through the handle through hole 6a, resulting in an unsightly appearance. Another problem is that foreign objects accidentally dropped by a passenger can easily get stuck inside.

Furthermore, the spring shaft 5 protruding from the handle base 3 protrudes toward the interior of the vehicle, thereby reducing the available interior space.

This invention was made in view of these problems, and the purpose is to provide a mounting structure for a vehicle opener handle device that saves space, has a good appearance, and prevents the intrusion of foreign objects as much as possible. It is said that

To achieve this purpose, this invention has a spring shaft inserted into an insertion hole formed in the sill inner so that it protrudes into the sill, and a handle that extends from the part attached to the handle base to the operating part. The handle is shaped such that it has an offset portion that does not rise directly upwards, and a handle through hole is provided on the rising surface of the carpet covering the sill inner to allow the offset portion of the handle to pass through.

This invention will be explained below based on the drawings.

FIGS. 4 and 5 are diagrams showing an embodiment of this invention. In the drawings, parts or members that are the same or equivalent to those of the conventional example are given the same reference numerals and redundant explanations will be omitted.

As shown in the figure, an embossment 1d is formed on the sill inner 1a of the sill 1, and an insertion hole 1e is provided on the embossed surface. 15 is the collar part 15
a and a covering portion 15b, the flange portion 15a is fixed to the sill inner 1a together with the handle base 3 of the opener handle device 2 with screws B ₁ and B ₂ , and the sill inner 1a and the handle base are screwed together. 3, and the covering portion 15b covers the spring shaft 5 protruding from the back surface of the handle mounting surface 3b of the handle base 3, and is inserted into the insertion hole 1e together with the spring shaft 5, and the sill 1 is inserted into the insertion hole 1e. It is protruding inward. This sealing member 15 achieves rust prevention of the opener handle device 2 and dust prevention of the vehicle compartment.

The opener handle device 2 is characterized by the shape of the handle 4, which is attached to the handle base 3 at a portion A.
The upper portion L of the handle from the handle to the operating portion 4e has an offset portion 4c extending in the horizontal direction. On the other hand, the carpet 6 has a handle through hole 6a on the rising surface S covering the sill inner 1, and the handle 4 passes through the handle through hole 6a at an offset portion 4c.

Further, the polypropylene retainer 7 attached to the back surface of the carpet 6 has a sufficient size,
Cut-and-raised portion 3 provided on the handle base 3
a, 3a and the lower part 1f of the sill inner 1b, the carpet 6 will not hit the handle 4 and interfere with the operation of the handle.

Further, in order to prevent the carpet 6 from shifting and interfering with handle operation, the claws 7b and 7c protruding from the retainer 7 are fitted into the claw fitting holes 1g and 1h provided near the embossing 1d of the sill inner 1a, respectively. There is.

The opener handle device 2 having such a mounting structure operates in exactly the same way as the conventional example.

The offset portion 4c of the handle 4 is covered with a carpet 6.
This is to prevent the handle through hole 6a from facing upward, so it is sufficient that it does not stand up directly above, and it does not necessarily have to extend horizontally as in this embodiment. .

As explained above, in this invention, the handle base is fixed to the sill inner, the spring shaft is protruded from the back of the handle mounting surface of the handle base, and is inserted into the insertion hole formed in the sill inner to protrude into the sill. Because of this configuration, the spring shaft does not protrude toward the indoor side, resulting in the effect that the installation space is small. Further, the handle has an offset part bent toward the indoor side at the upper part of the handle from the part attached to the handle base to the operating part, and the offset part is formed on the rising surface of the carpet covering the sill inner. Since the handle through-hole is inserted through the handle through-hole, the handle through-hole does not face upward, and the appearance is improved and the possibility of foreign matter entering is extremely reduced.
