Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) This invention relates to a door inside handle device provided inside an automobile door for opening and closing the door from the inside.

(Conventional technology) The door trim installed inside the door of a passenger car has
A handle assembly is provided which is configured by combining a handle lever for opening and closing a door and a handle cover that makes the mounting part of the handle lever look beautiful.

Conventionally, a structure as shown in FIG. 1 has been used for this purpose.

That is, the handle cover a includes a flexible member,
For example, it is made of synthetic resin, and has a flange c parallel to the peripheral wall of the cover body b on the peripheral edge of the cover body b, which is formed into a rectangular, approximately saucer shape, and the bottom wall of the cover body b. There is a rectangular notch d for attaching the handle lever on one side, that is, on the right side.
It has a structure with

A handle lever e is rotatably provided within the cover body b. Specifically, the support side of the handle lever e faces the notch d, and this part is rotatably supported on the right peripheral wall portion facing across the notch d. This constitutes a handle assembly f.

In addition, there is a cover mounting hole h in the door trim g of the door.
is provided, into which the bottom side of the cover body b is fitted, and the tip of the flange c is brought into contact with the opening edge.

Arranged in parallel on the outside of this door trim g,
On the door trim side surface of the door inner panel i of the door, there is a base plate j corresponding to the position of the notch d.
is fixed, and the cover body b is attached to the door trim g.
The opening of the notch d is closed when the notch d is provided.

This base plate j and the bottom wall of the cover body b are fixed, and the handle assembly f is supported by the door inner panel i.

Further, on the outer surface of the peripheral wall portion of the cover main body b adjacent to the notch portion d, for example, the right peripheral wall portion, a shielding member k configured in a plate shape is provided along the same portion. The tip of the shielding member k protrudes from the opening edge of the notch d toward the base plate j, and shields the gap between the notch member d and the base plate j.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, the right end part m of the cover body b of the handle assembly f attached in this way has considerably more rigidity than other parts due to the formation of the notch part d. descend.

For this reason, if the end portion m of the cover main body b is pushed strongly by operating the handle lever e, etc., the end portion m may be deformed.

This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a door inside handle device that can suppress deformation of the cover body.

(Means for Solving the Problem) According to the door inside handle device of this invention, the tip of the shielding member that shields the gap between the opening edge of the notch and the base plate is extended until it comes into contact with the base plate. This is due to the provision of an extending portion.

(Function) According to the door inside handle device of this invention, since the tip of the shielding member is in contact with the base plate, even if the part of the handle cover where the notch is strongly pressed, the handle cover is supported by the shielding member and deforms. prevent the occurrence of

(Embodiment of the invention) This invention will be described below based on an embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 to 4. FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the door inside handle device, and FIGS. 3 and 4 show cross-sectional views of each part of the device. Similarly, a door trim is provided on the outer side of the door inner panel 1.

The door trim 2 is provided with a rectangular cover attachment hole 3. Further, a recessed portion is formed in the plate portion of the inner panel 1 facing the cover attachment hole 3, and a cover accommodating portion 4 is formed in the same portion.

The handle cover 5 of the handle assembly A that is attached to the cover attachment hole 3 is made of a flexible material, such as synthetic resin. This handle cover 5 has a flange portion 7 parallel to the periphery of the cover body 6, which is formed in a rectangular substantially saucer shape, on the periphery of the cover body 6, and has a bottom wall 5a of the cover body 6.
It has a structure in which a rectangular notch 8 for attaching a handle lever is provided on one side, that is, on the right side.

The bottom portion of the cover body 6 of the handle cover 5 is fitted into the cover attachment hole 3 and housed in the housing portion 4. Further, the flange portion 7 of the handle cover 5 is locked to the opening edge of the cover attachment hole 3. Note that 9 is a locking frame provided on the back surface of the bottom wall 5a of the cover body 6.

A handle lever 20 is rotatably provided within the cover body 6. Specifically, the support side of the handle lever 20 faces the notch 8, and this part is rotatably supported on the right peripheral wall portion facing across the notch 8. The handle assembly A is thus constructed.

A base plate 10 is interposed between the door inner panel 1 and the handle cover 5. The base plate 10 has a pedestal part 11 in the center having a size corresponding to the outer shape of the opening of the notch part 8, and has a mounting flange 12 on the right side. The plate 10 also has a bottom wall 5a of the cover body 6 on the left side.
It has a mounting flange 13 and an arm portion 14.

The base plate 10 has a mounting flange 12 and an arm portion 14 with screws 1 at the base.
It is attached to the door inner panel 11 with fixing devices such as 5 and 15, and the base portion 11 is arranged at a position facing the notch portion 8. Thereby, when the cover main body 6 is provided on the door trim 2, the opening of the notch portion 8 is closed by the base portion 11.

The mounting flange 13 of the base plate 10 is
A tapping screw 16 is screwed to the bottom wall 5a of the overlapping cover body 6. Also, the arm portion 14
The tip is inserted and locked into the locking frame 9 of the bottom wall 5a, and these support the handle assembly A on the door inner panel 11.

Further, on the outer surface of the right peripheral wall portion of the cover main body 6 adjacent to the notch portion 8, a shielding member 17 configured in a plate shape is provided along the same portion. The tip of the shielding member 17 protrudes from the opening edge of the notch 8 toward the base plate 10 as in the conventional case, and the protruding tip portion shields the gap between the notch 8 and the base plate 10.

At the tip of the shielding member 17, a rib-shaped extending portion 1 is formed by extending a portion of the tip, for example, portions on both sides of the tip until it comes into contact with the plate surface of the base plate 10.
9 and 19 are provided. More specifically, the lengths of the extending portions 19, 19 are such that when the handle cover 5 is attached to the cover mounting hole 3, the length of the extending portions 19, 19,
The tip end of the door inner panel 19 is dimensioned so as to come into contact with the base plate 10 fixed to the door inner panel 1. These extending portions 19, 19 allow the shielding member 17 to support the side of the handle cover 5 where the notch 8 is located, that is, the right side of the handle cover 5 from below.

According to the door inside handle device configured in this manner, since the tip of the shielding member 17 is in contact with the base plate 10, even if the collar portion 7 on the right side of the handle cover 5 where the cutout portion 8 is pushed strongly, By supporting the handle cover 5 by the shielding member 17, deformation of the same portion can be prevented.

Thereby, the quality of the handle assembly A can be improved.

(Effects of the invention) As explained above, according to this invention, by supporting the handle cover with the shielding member, deformation of the cover body can be suppressed, thereby improving the quality of the handle assembly. can.
