A vehicle door handle includes a pair of front and back covers which are connected to each other. One of the front and back covers includes a locking body. The locking body includes a leg portion configured to elastically deform and a locking hook projecting from a tip end of the leg portion. The locking hook is elastically locked and connected to a locked portion formed on the other of the front and back covers. The locking body is biased and the locking hook is press-contacted to the locked portion in a locking state of the locking body and the locked portion.

Vehicle door handle

A vehicle door handle device includes a handle base that is fixed to a door panel back surface of a vehicle, an operating handle that is linked to the handle base from a door front surface side to be rotatable around a rotation center, a stopper protrusion that is provided in any one of the operating handle and the handle base, and an engaged portion that is provided in the other one of the operating handle and the handle base.

In a cable connection structure in which a roughly spherical cable end disposed at the tip of an inner wire is connected to a movable member, the movable member is provided with a pair of wing pieces that hold the inner wire, a cable insertion opening that guides the cable end to a space between the wing pieces, and a roughly elliptical cable end passage part that displaceably supports the cable end. The long axis of the roughly elliptical shape of the cable end passage part roughly coincides with the direction of insertion of the cable.

Cable connection structure for movable member

A mounting structure of a decorative cap includes a door panel, a cylinder lock fixed to the door panel, and a decorative cap member. A protrusion portion of a cylinder lock protruding 5 from the door panel is covered with the decorative cap member. The decorative cap member includes a water guide channel guiding infiltrated water from a gap between a key insertion opening and a surface of the cylinder lock, to a water ejection opening which is opened on a peripheral wall. The key insertion opening 10 exposes a key insertion section of the cylinder lock.

Mounting structure of decorative cap

A vehicular handle device includes: a handle base fixed to a vehicle and holding an operating handle; and a shaft component inserted into and attached to a bearing portion provided in the handle base. The shaft component is retained in the bearing portion while being restrained from moving in a slipping-out direction by a cantilever-shaped elastic piece formed on the handle base and configured to be elastically deformed to allow passage of the shaft component. The handle base is provided with a stopper protrusion portion which limits an elastic deformation range of the elastic piece by letting a free end portion of the elastic piece abut on a stopper surface.

Vehicular handle device

This door handle device is provided with: a handle base; an introduction opening that is opened in a door handle and that supports the handle base; an operation handle that is connected to the handle base; and a gasket that is disposed between the handle base and the operation handle. A handle stopper, of which one end passes through the introduction aperture and is borne by the handle base, and of which the other end contacts the operation handle, is integrally provided to the gasket.

The objective of the present invention is to provide a routing structure that is for an operation cable and that, with a simple structure, can route an operation cable () with sufficient excess length. The present invention has: a handle device () that is affixed to the door () of a vehicle and that causes the operation force to an operation handle () rotatably connected to a handle base () to be output from an output section (); a door lock device () that is disposed in proximity to the output section () of the handle device (); and an operation cable () that couples the output section () of the handle device () and the door lock device (). The operation cable () is connected from the output section () to the door lock device () via an excess length securing pathway that is approximately one circuit of the perimeter of the handle device (), and the operation cable () is movably supported by a guide section () provided to an intermediate position of a mobile member () of the handle device (), and the connection section to the door lock device () of the operation cable (), and on the handle base (), and thus the ingress of the mobile member () into a mobile region is restricted.

Routing structure of operation cable

The door handle device of a vehicle is provided with: a handle base disposed along the rear surface of a door panel; and an operation handle that is coupled to the handle base. The handle base has hook-shaped pressing portions that ride on a protruding portion provided to the oppossed side edges along the sliding direction of a mounting opening provided to the door panel accompanying a sliding operation along the door panel; a panel-abutting portion that sandwiches the door panel in cooperation with the hook-shaped pressing portions; and an elastic locking piece that restricts the rearwards motion of the handle base by resilient locking to the center of a rear end edge of the mounting opening, and restricts removal of the hook-shaped pressing portions from the protruding portion.

Handle base attachment structure

A door handle apparatus for a vehicle is provided with a handle base to be fixed to a door of the vehicle and an operating handle. One end of the operating handle is pivotally coupled to the handle base. On the other end of the operating handle, an operating leg protrudes. The operating leg portion includes a stopper protrusion for butting with a part of the handle base to define a termination of a rotating stroke of the operating handle is provided. The operating leg portion further includes a shake preventing protrusion on a free end side of the stopper protrusion.
