Abstract
An outside handle device has a stationary base to which a handle is pivotably mounted. A bell-crank operatively connected to a door latching mechanism is also pivotably mounted to the base. A common spring has ends connected to both the handle and the bell-crank for urging both to initial positions thereof. The common spring permits the simultaneous return of both the handle and the bell-crank to their initial positions, so that noise generation is avoided.
