Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to a structure of an inside handle for an automobile.

[Conventional technology and problems]

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 3, an inside handle provided on the interior side of an automobile door has an opening 1a provided on one side wall of an escutcheon 1 and a handle 2 which protrudes from the opening 1a to the inside of the escutcheon 1. The finger hook 2a at the upper end of the handle is operated with a finger to rotate the handle 2 to open the door. One end of the arm 2b is formed on the finger hook 2a of the handle 2, and the other end of the arm 2b is provided on the side surface. The link 3 and the pivot 4 are integrally formed.

The link 3 has a rod mounting hole 3a at its free end, and one end (not shown) of a rod for driving a door lock is pivotally attached to this hole 3a.

The stopper 5a protruding from the side surface of the base 5 is the link 3
The rotation range of is regulated.

A spring 7 arranged around the boss portion of the base 5 urges the handle 2 and the link 3, and both ends of the spring 7 are attached to the base 5 and the link 3, respectively.

By rotating the finger-holding portion 2a of the inside handle configured as described above, the link 3 is rotated about the pivot 4 as a fulcrum, the rod pivotally mounted in the hole 3a is moved, and the door is opened. But the opening 1 of escutcheon 1
When the handle 2 is assembled in a, the opening 1a and the finger hook 2a
There is a problem in that a gap 1 is generated between the arm 2b and the arm 2b, draft air enters the vehicle compartment from the gap 1 and cooling and heating efficiency deteriorates, and dust enters the handle mechanism and causes malfunction.

An object of the present invention is to block a gap formed between an opening for inserting the arm 2b and the arm 2b by a shielding member.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention relates to an inside handle structure for an automobile that is rotated when a door is opened. An opening is formed in an escutcheon, and a pivot that is pivotally supported by a base is provided at one end of a handle that is inserted into the opening. On the other end of the handle,
A shield member that can be brought into contact with and separated from the outer surface of the escutcheon is provided, a finger hook portion is extended from an end edge of the shield member, and one end of a door lock driving rod is connected to a link provided on the pivot shaft to provide the shield. The member is provided with a spring that urges the outer surface of the escutcheon in a direction to close the opening, and the base is provided at a position where a predetermined gap is formed between the shielding member and the escutcheon. A stopper is provided to prevent the handle from rotating in the closing direction and to keep the surface of the finger hook substantially flush with the peripheral edge of the escutcheon.

[Action]

When the door is closed, the shield member formed integrally with the finger hook rotates in the direction of closing the escutcheon by the spring, and at a position where a predetermined gap is formed between the shield member and the escutcheon. Since the stopper blocks the rotation of the handle, collision between the shielding member and the escutcheon is prevented, and the surface of the finger hook is held substantially flush with the peripheral edge of the escutcheon, which improves the appearance quality of the inside handle structure. improves.

Since the above-mentioned predetermined gap is very narrow, it prevents entry of drafts and dust.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The same parts as those in the conventional example are designated by the same reference numerals.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, a shield member 2c is formed from one end of a finger hook 2a of the handle 2 which protrudes from the opening 1a of the escutcheon 1 into the escutcheon.

When the cross section is V-shaped, sink marks do not occur in the finger hook 2a after molding.

The arm 2b is rotatable about a pivot 4 pivotally mounted on a base 5, and an end 7a of a spring 7 wound around the pivot 4 biases the arm 2b in the clockwise direction (Fig. 1). It

The mounting screws 9 are inserted into the holes 5b provided at both ends of the base 5 to fix the base 5 to the vehicle body. When the finger is released from the finger rest 2a, the spring 7 urges the escutcheon 1 in the direction of abutting it, but the stopper 5a prevents the shield member 2c and the escutcheon 1 from colliding, and the gap between the shield member 2c and the escutcheon 1 is reduced. It becomes extremely narrow, and the surface of the finger hook 2a becomes substantially flush with the peripheral portion of the escutcheon (see FIG. 1).

Therefore, the shield member 2c and the escutcheon 1 are protected without being impacted by a collision, and the shield member 2c is protected.
Is close to the escutcheon 1, so that the gap between the opening 1a and the arm 2b is almost closed, and the entry of drafts and dust is prevented.

〔effect〕

In the present invention, since the gap between the opening and the arm is almost closed by the shielding member, drafts do not enter the vehicle interior, improving the cooling and heating efficiency, and even if the finger rest is released, the shielding member does not come into contact with the escutcheon. Since it does not have an unpleasant impact sound, it protects the shielding member and the escutcheon, and since dust does not enter between the base and the pivot, the possibility that the handle mechanism may malfunction or malfunction may be eliminated. There is.

Further, since the surface of the finger-holding portion is held so as to be substantially flush with the peripheral portion of the escutcheon, there is an effect of improving the appearance quality of the inside handle structure.
