Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an outside handle for an automobile provided on a side door or the like of a vehicle such as a passenger car.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, in a side door 1, an outside handle 10 is arranged outside a door body 2, and the outside handle 1 is provided.
A door lock 4 is provided at a proper position below 0. The outside handle 10 is, as shown in FIG.
Is mounted on the outer panel 2a, and the door lock 4 can be unlocked (unlocked) by operating the handle thereof. A door glass 3 moves up and down from the door body 2.

FIG. 5 shows the outside handle 1 shown in FIG.
0 shows a configuration example. In the figure, 11 is a handle base fixed to the outer panel 2a of the door body 2, and 1 is a handle base.
Reference numeral 2 is a handle pivotally supported by the handle base 11, and 13 is a pin for supporting one end side of the handle 12. The door lock 4 can be unlocked by operating the handle 12 (FIG. 5, arrow A). it can. 14 is a handle 1
2 is a connecting rod provided on the other end side, and the connecting rod 14 is
It is inserted into the window portion 15 of the handle base 11. here,
In FIG. 5, the arrow L indicates the front-back direction, the arrow W indicates the width direction (left and right), and the arrow H indicates the height direction.

Reference numeral 16 is a rotary lever having an arm 16a, and 17 is a bearing portion for rotatably supporting the rotary lever 16 via a pin 18. The arm 16a is the connecting rod 14
Engaged with the hole 14a formed in the handle 12
When the arm rotates in the direction of arrow A in FIG.
Rotates as indicated by arrow B. A spring 19 attached to the pin 18 urges the arm 16a in the direction opposite to the arrow B. 20 is a hole 16 of the turning lever 16
A snap fitting with b and a link 21 with the snap 20 are connected to the connecting pin 4a of the door lock 4 at the lower end 21a.

In such an outside handle 10, when the handle 12 is operated in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 5,
The arm 16a of the rotating lever 16 engages with the inner wall of the hole 14a and rotates in the direction of arrow B. At the same time, as the snap 20 connected to the rotating lever 16 rotates in the direction of arrow C, the lower end 21a of the link 21 moves the connecting pin 4a of the door lock 4 in the direction of arrow D, which is the unlocking direction. Energize. In this way, by operating the handle 12
The operating force can be transmitted to the door lock 4 to unlock the outside handle 10.

[0006]

However, since the conventional outside handle 10 requires a large number of components to unlock the door lock 4 by operating the handle 12, the structure becomes complicated. I had no choice. The outside handle 10 is shown in FIG.
As described above, the outer panel 2a of the door body 2 is mounted, but the outer panel 2a extends considerably inward from the door body 2 (FIG. 4, distance k). Therefore, it is not always possible to secure a sufficient gap between the outside handle 10 and the door glass 3, and the degree of freedom in design may be restricted.

In view of the above points, an object of the present invention is to provide an outside handle for an automobile, which can reduce the number of parts and expand the degree of freedom in design.

[0008]

An outside handle for an automobile according to claim 1 is configured to be unlocked by a handle base fixed to a door body, a handle pivotally supported by the handle base, and a handle operation. In the grip-type outside handle including the door lock, the handle and the door lock are connected by a wire, and the operating force of the handle is transmitted to the door lock.

According to another aspect of the present invention, in the outside handle for an automobile, one end of the wire is hooked at the other end of the handle whose one end is pivotally supported by the handle base, and the handle is rotated to rotate the wire. The door lock is pulled in the unlocking direction via.

[0010]

According to the present invention, the handle and the door lock are connected by a wire so that the operating force of the handle is transmitted to the door lock. In that case, one end of the handle pivotally supported by the handle base is connected. At the other end, hook the end of the wire. In this way, with a simple structure in which the handle and the door lock are simply connected via the wire, the door lock can be pulled in the unlocking direction by rotating the handle, and thereby the door lock can be unlocked accurately. .

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A preferred embodiment of an outside handle for an automobile according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

In this embodiment, the outside handle 30 according to the present invention is arranged outside the door body 2 of the side door 1. The door glass 3 moves up and down from the door body 2, and a door lock 4 is provided at a proper position below the outside handle 30. This basic structure is substantially the same as that of the conventional example (FIG. 3).

FIG. 1 shows a configuration example of the outside handle 30. In the figure, 31 is a handle base fixed to the outer panel 2a of the door body 2, 32 is a handle pivotally supported by the handle base 31, and 33 is a handle 3.
2 is a pin for supporting one end side of 2. The pin 33 is attached to the bearing 35 together with the spring 34, and the handle 3
2 is rotatably supported around the pin 33. The spring 34 urges the handle 32 to rotate toward the handle base 31 side.

Reference numeral 36 is a hooking member for the wire, which will be described later, provided on the other end side of the handle 32. The hooking member 36 is inserted into the window portion 37 of the handle base 31.
Inside the handle base 31, a guide member 38 stands up from the peripheral edge of the window portion 37 so as to guide the hooking member 36. The hook member 36 and the door lock 4 are connected by a wire (cable) 39. One end 39a of the wire 39 is the hooking portion 36a of the hooking member 36, and the other end 39b is the hooking portion 40 of the door lock 4.
Are each hooked by.

Outside handle 3 having the above structure
At 0, when the handle 32 is operated in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1, the latch member 36 slides outward in the window portion 37. As a result, one end 39a of the wire 39 is fixed to the hooking portion 36a.
Is pulled in the direction of arrow E. Then, as a result of the hook 40 of the door lock 4 being pulled by the other end 39b of the wire 39 in the direction of the arrow F, which is the unlocking direction, the door lock 4 is unlocked. In this way, by operating the handle 32, the operating force can be transmitted to the door lock 4 to unlock the outside handle 30. In addition, in this example, the unlocking direction of the door lock 4 is set upside down as compared with the above-described conventional example (see FIG. 5).

As described above, the handle 32 is used in this embodiment.
With a simple structure in which the door lock 4 and the door lock 4 are connected via the wire 39, the door lock 4 can be easily unlocked by rotating the handle 32. Also,
For example, in particular, in the conventional example (see FIG. 5), since the pin 18 is provided, the W direction is restricted, and the setting position of the pin 13 must be restricted. In the present invention such a pin 18
Since no pin is provided, the pin 33 can be freely set inside and outside the outer panel 2a.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, according to the present invention, the amount of protrusion of the outside handle 30 from the outer panel 2a inward of the door body 2 (FIG. 2, distance k ₁ ).
Can be kept small. As a result, a sufficient gap can be secured between the outside handle 30 and the door glass 3, and the degree of freedom in design can be greatly expanded. Incidentally, in the conventional example, k = 33 mm, but according to the present example, it is reduced to k ₁ = 27 mm.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, the operating force of the handle is transmitted to the door lock and the door lock is properly unlocked by a simple structure in which the handle and the door lock are connected by a wire. can do. By effectively reducing the number of component parts, the weight can be reduced and the cost can be effectively reduced. Further, there is an advantage that a sufficient gap can be secured between the outside handle and the door glass, and the degree of freedom in design and design can be greatly expanded.
