BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a door handle device, and more particularly to a push button type outside door handle device capable of smoothly operating a push button operatively connected to a door lock device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 9, a conventional push button type outside door handle device includes a handle body 1.
And a push button 2 slidably disposed in the hole 1a of the handle body 1 and operatively connected to a door lock device (not shown). Push button 2 has boss 3
Is provided, and the spring 4 is attached to the boss 3. A bolt 5 that is operatively connected to a lever or rod of a door lock device (not shown) is attached to the boss 3 together with a nut 6. Push the push button 2 in the projecting position toward the retracted position with your finger, operate the door lock device with the bolt 5, and then release your finger from the push button 2, the push button 2 will automatically project by the spring 4. Moved to a position. The protruding position of the bolt 5 from the push button 2 is adjusted by the nut 6.

[0003]

In the conventional push-button type outside handle device, when the handle body 1 is molded by synthetic resin or zinc die casting, the die-cutting gradient of the hole 1a of the handle body 1 becomes large. This increases the clearance between the hole 1a and the push button 2. Therefore, when the push button 2 is tilted, rotated or bitten when the push button 2 is pressed, the handle body 1 may be damaged or rusted if the push button 2 bites into the hole 1a. Further, when the push button 2 is attached to the handle body 1 in an inclined shape by the pressing force of the spring 4, a large gap is formed between the push button 2 and the hole 1a. There is a problem that water or the like enters the door panel through this gap. Therefore, when the push button is pressed, the push button is moved from the protruding position to the retracted position, and the arm portion having the guide projection for preventing the push button from tilting, rotating, or being caught and the notch portion with which the guide projection engages. Is proposed. However, the provision of the guide protrusion and the arm portion increases the number of parts and complicates the work procedure when assembling the door handle.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an outdoor handle device which can be easily assembled by reducing the number of parts and can smoothly operate a push button.

[0005]

An outside door handle device according to the present invention comprises a handle body (1) and a push button (2) slidably provided on the handle body (1) and operatively connected to a door lock device. ) And. In this outside door handle device, the other end of the arm portion (7) having a notch portion (7a) formed at one end is fixed to the push button (2) by a bolt (5) and a nut (6). Guide protrusion (1b) on the back of the handle body (1)
And the notch (7) formed on the arm (7)
Engage (a) with the guide protrusion (1b), and
The push button (2) is slid along b).

[0006]

When the push button is pressed with a finger, the push button is moved from the projecting position to the retracted position along the guide projection, and it is possible to prevent the push button from tilting, rotating, or being caught. Since the arm portion having the cutout portion that engages with the guide protrusion is fixed to the push button by the bolt that is operatively connected to the door lock device, it is possible to reduce the number of parts without requiring another component for fixing the arm portion.
The procedure for assembling the door handle can be simplified. Further, the number of parts can be reduced by integrally forming the guide protrusion on the handle body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of an outside door handle device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. In these drawings, the same parts as those shown in FIG. 9 are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the outside door handle device according to the present invention is provided with a guide protrusion 1b on the back surface of the handle body 1. The push button 2 is provided with a substantially Z-shaped arm portion 7 having a notch portion 7a engaging with the guide protrusion 1b at one end. A hole 7b into which the bolt 5 is inserted is formed at the other end of the arm portion 7 and is fixed to the push button 2 by the bolt 5.

When the push button 2 is pressed against the elasticity of the spring 4 with a finger, the push button 2 is moved along the guide protrusion 1b through the boss 3 from the projecting position to the retracted position. Play is eliminated. As a result, it is possible to prevent the push button 2 from tilting, rotating, or being caught.

Since the arm portion 7 having the cutout portion 7a that engages with the guide protrusion 1b is fixed to the push button 2 by the bolt 5 that is operatively connected to the door lock device, another part for fixing the arm portion 7 is required. The number of parts can be reduced without the need, and the door handle assembly procedure can be simplified. The number of parts can also be reduced by integrally forming the guide protrusion 1b on the handle body 1.

This embodiment can be modified. For example, in FIGS. 1 to 5, the arm portion 7 has a circular cross section with a substantially uniform diameter, but as shown in FIG. 7, the guide protrusion 1b is formed in a tapered shape whose diameter decreases toward the tip. Good. Further, the cutout portion 7a may be formed in a hole shape instead of the concave groove.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, when the push button of the outside door handle device is actuated,
Since rotation or biting does not occur, there is an advantage that the push button can be operated smoothly without damaging or rusting the handle body. Also, by preventing an increase in the number of parts,
The outside door handle device can be configured without changing the conventional structure. It is possible to prevent the push button from being inclined and held by the pressing force of the spring, and to maintain a proper gap amount between the push button and the handle body.
