Definitions

  • the present invention relates to automobile external door handle units, i.e. handle units intended for mounting on the exteriors of automotive vehicle doors.
  • a door handle unit may often be mounted on its door in such a way that the door can be prepare for opening by manually raising, from outside, a door handle proper of the unit and the door can then be actually opened by the person standing outside the vehicle pulling it open, if an internal push button has previously been pushed down within the vehicle.
  • door handle units of this kind have usually been made by zinc die-casting, or from sheet steel by pressing operations. More recently, however, they have been made of plastics materials, so as to achieve weight reduction.
  • the known door handle unit comprises an external door handle proper and at least one, but generally two, operating arms which are mechanically connected with door lock means arranged in or on the automobile door.
  • the handle proper and the operating arms are united rigidly, and in one piece, when of plastics material.
  • an object of the present invention to provide an automobile external door handle unit of the type set out in the pre-characterising part of either of the appended independent claims, in which the occurrence of such disadvantageous contraction marks is minimised or substantially obviated.
  • the conventional external door handle unit is denoted generally by a reference character "A" in Fig. 1.
  • This comprises an external door handle proper 1 made of a hard and rigid plastics material such as phenolic resin.
  • a pair of remote operating arms 2 and 2a are rigidly united with the door handle proper 1.
  • Numeral 3 indicates a housing element, again of a hard and rigid plastics material and adapted for housing the door handle proper 1 as shown.
  • Numerals 4 and 4a represent a pair of mutually- remote supporting stems which are rigid with the rear portion of the housing element 3, although the respective connecting portions therebetween are not specifically shown.
  • Each of the arms 2, 2a and the respective stems 4, 4a are mutually and pivotably connected by means of pivot pin 5, 5a, respectively. Therefore, the handle proper 1 can be manipulated to turn relative to the housing element 3 and around the common axis, not shown, through the two pins 5 and 5a.
  • the operating arms 2 and 2a are formed with respective connecting openings 8 and 8a which are mechanically linked, through link mens B, so as to enable the door lock to be released by raising the handle proper 1.
  • the door lock Upon release of the once raised handle proper 1, the door lock will return to its locked condition under the influence of the return springs 6 and 6a.
  • each arm 2 or 2a is formed with a material-thieving bridging portion 7, 7a respectively.
  • These material-thieving bridges 7 and 7a can be seen clearly in Figs. 3 and 4.
  • the provision of these bridging portions is surprisingly effective to prevent the formation of the contraction marks a 1 , a 2 and a handle unit of highly pleasing appearance is thus obtained.
  • the inventively improved automobile external door handle unit configuration obviates the disadvantageous formation of aesthetically undesirable contraction marks such as those shown and indicated at a 1 and a 2 in Fig. 1, in a particularly simple, yet remarkably meritorious manner.
