Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (1) Purpose of the invention (industrial application field) This invention relates to an outside handle device for an automobile door that can be opened and closed by pulling it up by hand.

(Prior art and problems to be solved) Conventionally, in this type of handle device, the handle part, which is biased to one side by the action of a spring on a bracket fixed to the door side, is operated by hand against this action. In order to attach movable parts such as the latch release lever of a door lock that interlocks with this, it was common to connect the two with a knurled pin.

For this reason, over long-term use, force is applied particularly to the release lever that operates the door latch, and the knurling that supports the lever wears out, making it difficult to open and close the door, or causing the crimping to loosen. This caused the problem of looseness and, in extreme cases, pins falling out.

If such a situation occurs, with the above configuration, it is not possible to easily replace just the pin on the spot, and it is necessary to disassemble the mechanism around the handle, replace the pin, and assemble it, so it will take a little time. The reality is that the failure of a single pin imposes a large cost burden.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the opening/closing operation part of a conventionally known handle device, in which screws 2,
2, a bracket 1 having bent portions 3, 3 at both ends is fixed to the bent portions 3, 3.
A hole 1a is formed in each.

A handle 5 that is operated by hand to open and close the door (only its base attachment part is shown in the figure)
is arranged opposite to the bracket 1, and two arms 8, 8 are disposed on the inner wall surface 6 of the bracket 1 so as to be arranged as close as possible to the bent parts 3, 3, respectively.
8 and the arms 7, 7 are integrally formed on the opposite side of the arms 8, 8 with respect to the bent portions 3, 3, respectively.

A hole 1a is formed in each of the bent portions 3, 3, and holes 9, 10 are formed in each of the arms 7, 8, respectively.

The holes 9 and 10 formed in these arms 7 and 8 are
The handle 5 is attached to the bracket 1 by aligning the positions with the holes 1a formed in the bent portions 3, 3, and inserting a pin 4 (with a loose fit into the hole 1a).

The pin 4 has knurling 4a carved at its upper and lower ends in the figure, and is formed integrally with the arms 7, 7, and the end of each pin on the arm 8 side is caulked 4b. The handle 5 and the pins 4, 4 can be rotated together with respect to the bent portions 3, 3, while preventing the pin from being pulled out.

Furthermore, a release lever 11 is engaged with one of the pins (the lower pin in the figure), and the end knurled portion 4a of the pin 4 is locked in the hole 12 of the release lever 11, and the arm 7 and release lever 11
are fixed integrally. Therefore, when the handle 5 is rotated, the release lever 11 is also rotated, thereby actuating the door latch (not shown).

Because of this configuration, as mentioned above, if the locking portions formed by knurling and caulking are damaged due to frequent use, it is inevitable that a great deal of effort will be required to manage the damage.

The present invention was developed in order to cope with the above-mentioned situation, and the above-mentioned handle device has sufficient durability for frequent use, and can be easily repaired if it becomes loose. It is an object of the present invention to provide an out-handle device for an automobile door that can be used in a particular manner.

(2) Structure of the invention (technical means for solving the problem, its function) In order to achieve the above object, the invention is fixed to the door side of the automobile, protrudes toward the door handle, and has holes 1a and 1'a. A pair of bent portions 3 forming
3, and an arm 8 having a hole 10, which is arranged so as to sandwich one bent part 3.
, an arm 7 provided with a hole 9, and the other bent portion 3.
The handle 5 includes an arm 8' having a hole 10' and an arm 7' having a hole 9', and a release lever 11 that is displaced as the handle 5 is displaced. In the outside handle device, the pin 4 is inserted through the hole 10 of the arm 8, the hole 9 of the arm 7, and the hole 1a of one of the bent parts 3, and the pin 4 is inserted through the hole 10' of the arm 8'.
Then, the threaded rod 15 is inserted through the hole 9' of the arm 7' and the hole 1'a of the other bent part 3, so that each arm, and therefore the handle 5, is inserted into the bent part 3, 3.
is rotatably mounted, and the threaded rod 15
A further feature is that the threaded end portion 14 of the release lever 11 is screwed at a position where the arm 7' is held.

By configuring in this way, the connection between the handle and the release lever is strengthened, and
Even if this bond becomes loose, it can be easily and quickly repaired with minimal effort.

(Explanation of Embodiment) Figure 2 shows the present invention applied to a handle device configured such that actuation of a hand-operated handle directly drives a release lever that actuates a door latch. It is a sectional view showing an example.

In the figure, parts corresponding to those shown in the first figure are designated by the same reference numerals, and explanations thereof will be omitted unless necessary.

As shown in the figure, holes 9' and 10' formed in the arms 7' and 8' of the bent parts 3 and 3 of the bracket 1 on which the release lever 11 is mounted, and holes 9' and 10' formed in the bent part 3 The threaded rod 15 is inserted from the direction of the arm 7' across the hole 1'a formed in the hole 1'a and the end threaded part 14 provided in the thick part 13 formed near the end of the release lever 11. the holes 9', 10', 1'a
At the same time, the screw rod 15 and the release lever 1
1 and then fix the handle 5 and release lever 1 with screws.
1 is rotatably attached to the bending portion 3.

On the side that does not have the release lever 11 (the upper part in the figure), there is no member such as a release lever that is subjected to particular force, so either the structure shown in the figure or the hole 9 with a screw inserted therein can be used. The arms 7 and 8 on the handle 5 side may be rotatably supported on the bending portion 3 by an appropriate method that prevents the pins from coming off, such as by screwing the pins together.

Since it is configured in this way, the screw rod 15
By tightening, the release lever 11 and the arm 7', and therefore the handle 5, are screwed and fixed to each other, so that the release lever 11 can be operated by operating the handle, and there is no space between them. Even when loosening occurs, it can be easily repaired by tightening the screw rod 15,
Furthermore, since no caulking work is required, assembly is easy.

(3) Effects of the invention Since the invention has the above-described configuration, frequent use, vibration, etc. can cause the engagement between the outside handle of the automobile door and the release lever that drives the latch of the door lock. Even if the stop should come loose, the need to disassemble part of the handle device or replace parts can be minimized, and the function can be restored very easily.
It is possible to ensure stable operation of the door at all times, and since there is no need for caulking work, assembly is easy, and the simple structure greatly contributes to cost reduction.
