Description

[Detailed description of the invention] In this invention, the opening of the recessed part of the base member can be closed by the handle plate, which smooths the surface of the vehicle body, reduces air resistance, and prevents dust from accumulating during parking. The present invention relates to a door handle device for an automobile.

In a conventional automobile door handle device, a main handle and a cover handle are pivotally supported on a base member having a recessed portion, and when the door is locked, the handle plate of the main handle and the handle plate of the cover handle close the opening of the recessed portion. When unlocking, the handle plate of the cover handle tilts by key operation to form an opening for inserting your finger under the handle plate of the main handle, and when turning the lock, the cover handle is fixed immovably. It was designed to prevent the lock from being unlocked by the user and to keep the invaginated part closed.

However, in such conventional car door handle devices, the cover handle is fixed when the door is locked, so if the handle plate is pressed too hard while the car is parked, it may deform or damage the lock or connection mechanism. There was a problem.

The present invention was developed by focusing on these conventional problems.When the handle plate of the cover handle is pressed, it does not interfere with other parts and prevents the cover handle from tilting inadvertently. This is how it was done.

In order to achieve such an object, in the present invention, a main handle and a cover handle are pivotally supported on a base member having an indentation, and when the lock is locked, the handle plate of the main handle and the handle plate of the cover handle close to the opening of the inset. In a steering wheel device for an automobile, in which the cover handle is tilted by key operation when unlocking to form an opening for inserting a finger under the handle plate of the main handle, the cover handle is biased and held in the closed position, and the cover handle is held in the closed position. A relay member is interposed between the actuating lever and the actuated end of the cover handle to enable the cover handle to tilt against biasing force even during turning, and the relay member is a part of the cover handle. The end of the actuating lever is engaged with the actuated end of the cover handle, and the other part is engaged so that it can come into contact with the actuated end of the cover handle only from one direction, and when only the cover handle is tilted, the actuated end This is a door handle device for an automobile, characterized in that the door handle device is arranged so as to be spaced apart from a part of the door handle device.

When locked, the handle plate of the cover handle is biased and held in the closed position to close the opening of the invagination. If the handle plate of the cover handle is pushed, the actuated end of the cover handle is displaced away from the relay member, no movement is transmitted from the cover handle to the actuating lever, and the cover handle tilts inadvertently.

To unlock the lock, when the operating lever of the lock is moved in the release direction by key operation, the relay member engaged with it is also moved, and the actuated end that is in contact with the relay member is pushed and the cover handle rotates. Then, the handle plate opens to form an opening for inserting fingers.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

An opening/closing end 24 extends from 2 to the back side of the base member 1, and is rotatable clockwise in FIG. 3, but is held in the closed position of the opening 16 by a spring 25.

The cover handle 3 covers the remaining opening 16 that is not covered by the handle plate 21 of the main handle 2.
The base 32 of the handle plate 31 that covers the pivot 3
3 to the base member 1, an actuated end 34 protrudes from the base 32, and is biased by a spring 35 so that the opening 16 can be rotated clockwise in FIG. is held in

An intermediate lever 26 is pivotally supported on the back side of the base member 1 by a shaft pin 26a, and one end 26 of the intermediate lever 26
b engages with the opening/closing end 24 of the main handle 2, and the other end 26c is locked to the end of the transmission cable 27. The transmission cable 27 is extended along the back side of the base member 1 to the end surface A3 of the door A, and is rotatably supported by a support piece 17 protruding from the tip of the fixing arm portion 15 of the base member 1. It is wound around a pulley 28 and connected to a door lock (not shown).

One corner of the handle plate 31 of the cover handle 3 is cut out, and the lock 4 is fitted into the support part 18 of the base member 1, and a key insertion slot 41 is opened on the front side and rotated to the back side. A shaft 42 is provided to protrude, and an operating lever 43 is fixed to the rotating shaft 42, and one end 43a of the operating lever 43 is connected to a door lock locking/unlocking mechanism (not shown).

The base end 51 of the relay member 5 is loosely fitted into the pivot 33 of the cover handle 3, and the other end 43b of the operating lever 43 of the lock 4 is engaged with the distal end 52, which is a part of the relay member 5. The middle part 5 which is another part of
3 is provided with an engaging pin 54 protrudingly provided, and the engaging pin 54 engages with the actuated end 34 of the cover handle 3 so as to be able to abut only from one direction. It is interposed between the actuated end 34 and the operating lever 43 of the lock 4 to relay the two,
The cover handle 3 is made tiltable even when the door is locked.

The actuation lever 43 and the relay member 5 are always biased to either the locked position or the unlocked position by a turnover spring (not shown) provided in the locking/unlocking mechanism, and this biasing force is set to be stronger than the urging force of the cover handle 3 by the spring 35.
