DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a pull-out vehicle door outside handle.

[Prior Art] A door outside handle, which is an operation unit of a door lock opening mechanism, is provided on the outside of a vehicle door.

This door outside handle is actually open Sho 57-4206
In the pull-handle type as disclosed in No. 0, etc., the outside handle is pivotably supported by the handle case, and the handle case is fixed to the door.

FIGS. 10 to 12 show a door outside handle of this kind. On the back surface of the handle case 10, a pair of end standing walls 12 and an intermediate standing wall 13 adjacent to one end standing wall 12 are shown. Is integrally formed with the outside handle 14, and an open lever 16 integrally formed with the outside handle 14 penetrates the handle case 10 and is pivotally supported on the standing walls 12 and 13 on the rear surface of the handle case 10 via a shaft 18. . A coil portion of a torsion coil spring 20 is wound around the shaft 18, and both hook portions of the torsion coil spring 20 are respectively in the handle case 10 and the open lever 16.
The outside handle 14 to the 12th position.
It is biased in the direction of the arrow in the figure.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11, one end of an open rod 24 is pivotally supported by one open lever 16 via a snap 22 and the other end of the open rod 24 is engaged with a link mechanism portion of a door lock. It is supposed to be done.

A reference numeral 26 in FIG. 10 denotes a cylindrical cylinder case portion integrally formed with the handle case 10, into which a key cylinder is inserted. A rod engaged with the link mechanism of the door lock is attached to the key cylinder.

Further, reference numeral 28 in FIG. 10 denotes a projection which is integrally formed with the handle case 10 and which engages with the hook portion of the torsion coil spring 20 to prevent lateral movement of the hook portion.

10 and 12 is a stopper rubber attached to the handle case 10. The open lever 16 is biased by the torsion coil spring 20 and swings in the direction of the arrow in FIG. At that time, it is possible to prevent the rattling sound from being generated by swinging beyond the original stop position by the momentum and coming into contact with the handle case 10.

The door outside handle is shipped in a state where the parts are assembled as described above, and as shown in FIG. 12, the handle case 10 is fixed to the outer panel 36 of the door 34 via a bracket (not shown) and is attached to the door 34. It can be assembled.

In FIG. 12, reference numeral 38 is a door glass, and reference numeral 40 is a door inner panel.

By the way, in the open lever 16, when a "burr" is generated in the edge portion indicated by the thick line in FIG. 10, the penetrating portion of the handle case 10 interferes with the handle case 10 or the standing wall 12 or the like. , Outside handle 14
It becomes impossible to perform a smooth rocking operation. Therefore, when "burrs" occur in the manufacturing process of the outside handle 14, finishing by grinding is performed.

However, when the handle case 10 is assembled to the vehicle body, the outside handle 14 is stored in the handle case 10 while passing through the opening of the outer panel 36 from the outside of the vehicle body toward the diagonally upper side from below. Since it is carried out by being carried out, the upper part of the open lever 16 is likely to come into contact with the opening edge to cause burrs during assembly.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle door outside handle capable of preventing burrs from being generated at the upper portion of an open lever when assembled to a door. I am trying.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention is a handle case including a pair of standing walls that are fitted into an opening provided in an outer panel of a vehicle door from the outside of the vehicle compartment and are erected on the back surface in a direction perpendicular to the surface. And a pair of open levers that are arranged so as to project in the same direction as the pair of standing walls of the handle case, and these open levers are pivotally supported by the pair of standing walls to be stored in the handle case in a swingable manner. A pull-handle type vehicle outside handle including an outside handle, wherein the outside handle is opened when the outside handle is stored in the handle case and the outside handle is viewed in a swing axis direction. The upper part of the standing wall is positioned further above the upper part of the open lever so that at least the upper contour of the lever is covered by the standing wall. It is characterized by protruding to the side.

[Operation] Hereinafter, the operation of the present invention will be described through the assembly procedure.

The outside handle is attached to the handle case in advance. As a result, the pair of open levers of the handle case are pivotally supported by the pair of standing walls, and the outside handle is swingably stored in the handle case. Then, in this state, the handle case is assembled to the outer panel of the vehicle door.

Here, the handle case is fitted into the opening provided in the outer panel from the outside of the vehicle compartment. At this time, the assembling work is performed while the pair of open levers of the outside handle are submerged in the opening. Therefore, the upper portions of the pair of open levers may come into contact with the opening edge of the outer panel, and burrs may occur at this portion.

However, according to the present invention, when the outside handle is stored in the handle case and the outside handle is viewed in the swinging axial direction, at least the outer shape of the open lever is covered by the standing wall so that at least the outer shape of the open lever is covered by the standing wall. Is projected further upward than the upper part of the open lever, the upper part of the standing wall only contacts the opening edge, and the upper part of the open lever does not contact the opening edge. Thereby, the upper portion of the open lever is protected by the protruding portion of the standing wall. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent burrs from being generated in the upper portion of the open lever, and consequently to maintain the smooth swinging operation of the outside handle.

[Embodiment] Next, an embodiment of the vehicle door outside handle according to the present invention will be described. In the following description, the same parts or portions as those described above are basically designated by the same reference numerals. Detailed description is omitted.

FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, as can be seen from the comparison with FIG. 10, both the pair of end standing walls 12 are extended upward in the drawing. It has a shape. Therefore, the open lever 16 is covered by the end standing wall 12 when viewed from the axial direction of the shaft 18 on the back surface of the handle case 10.

Therefore, the edge portion of the open lever 16 is less likely to hit other objects, and particularly the edge portion on the side facing the end standing wall 12 is extremely difficult to hit, so that the edge portion may have a flash during assembly. Is significantly reduced.

In addition, in FIG. 1, a part of the open lever 16 on the right side of the drawing appears to project from the inside of the end standing wall 12 on the right side of the drawing and is not covered by the standing wall 12, but this is the end standing wall 12 on the right side of the drawing. And the open lever 16 are opposed to each other with a slight distance, and in the case of this embodiment, the pair of open levers 16 are completely covered by the pair of end standing walls 12. Has been done.

2 and 3 show the essential parts of a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, as shown in the comparison between FIG. 11 and FIG. It has a shape extending upward and rearward of the back surface of the handle case 10 (rightward in FIG. 3) and covers the upper portion of the open lever 16 from the inside. Therefore, similar to the first embodiment, it is difficult for other objects to come into contact with the upper edge portion of the open lever 16.

In addition, with respect to the other open lever 16 (not shown), the edge standing wall 12 may be extended as in the first embodiment so that the edge portion is not easily hit by other objects.

Further, the intermediate portion standing wall 13 faces the shaft support portion of the open rod 24 to the open lever 16. Therefore, it is prevented that the door cannot be opened due to mischief from the outside of the vehicle. That is, since the snap 22 is rotatable in the direction of the arrow A as shown in FIG. 11 in the conventional structure, a ruler or the like is inserted between the door glass and the weather strip to insert the snap 22.
If the open rod 24 is pulled out in the direction of arrow B after rotating the arrow rod in the direction of arrow A, the outside handle 14 and the open rod 24 are separated from each other, and the door lock cannot be opened.

On the other hand, in the structure of the present embodiment, even if the snap 22 is rotated in the above-mentioned direction, the open rod 24 abuts the intermediate portion standing wall 13 and is prevented from moving in the above-mentioned direction. The outside handle 14 and the open rod 24 cannot be separated by operating the inserted ruler or the like.

4 to 6 show a third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, instead of the pair of end standing walls 12 and the intermediate standing wall 13, a pair of gate-shaped standing walls 42 is used as a handle. It is formed integrally with the case 10. Pair of open levers 1
Each of 6 is pivotally supported by the middle portion of the shaft 18 whose both ends are supported by both side walls 42A of the standing wall 42, and is covered by both side walls 42A of the standing wall 42 and a ceiling wall 42B. Further, the open rod 24 pivotally supported by the one open lever 16 is also covered with the pivot support portion and its peripheral portion in the same manner.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the open lever 16 has the standing wall 42.
Since the entire circumference is surrounded by, it is unlikely that something will hit the edge.

Further, like the second embodiment, there is no fear that the open rod 24 and the outside handle 14 are separated from each other by mischief or the like.

Further, in the present embodiment, due to the presence of the ceiling wall 42B of the standing wall 42, foreign matter such as dust that has entered from between the door glass and the weather strip falls and adheres to the bearing portion of the open lever 16 so that the outside handle 14 can be smoothly moved. It does not hinder the swinging motion. In the conventional structure shown in FIG. 10,
There was a fear that foreign matter would enter from the portion indicated by arrow C.

FIG. 7 shows a fourth embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is basically different from the third embodiment in that the standing wall 4
Although No. 2 is that the inner side wall 42A and the ceiling wall 42B are not continuous, the same effect as that of the third embodiment is obtained.

FIG. 8 shows a fifth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, contrary to the fourth embodiment, the standing wall 42 is not continuous with the outer side wall 42A and the ceiling wall 42B. Also in the case of this embodiment, the same effect as that of the third embodiment is obtained.

FIG. 9 shows the arrangement structure of the stopper rubber 30 applicable to the third to fifth embodiments.
0 is arranged inside the upper portion of the standing wall 42 and is provided with an appropriate means.
It is fixed at 2. With this structure, since the stopper rubber 30 can be made thick, the tapping sound level of the open lever 16 can be reduced.

That is, in the conventional structure shown in FIG. 10, as can be seen from FIG. 12, the depth of the handle case 10 cannot be deepened in order to avoid the interference with the door glass 38. Since it could not be thick, there was a limit to the reduction of the tapping sound level.

[Advantages of the Invention] As described above, the vehicle door outside handle according to the present invention can prevent burrs from being generated at the upper portion of the open lever when the door is assembled, and thus the outside handle can be smoothly operated. It has an excellent effect that it is possible to maintain various rocking operations.
