特許文献1に記載の車両用ドアハンドル装置のドアハンドル(アウトドアハンドル)のように、通常時に把手部に指先を引っ掛けて操作するフラップタイプのアウトドアハンドルでは、例えば、車両の衝突時にドアが変形するなどしてドアが開き難くなった緊急時等(以下、単に「緊急時等」という。)に、車室に閉じ込められた乗員を助けるために車両の外部からドアを開けようとしても、アウトドアハンドルを手で掴んでドアを強く引くことができない。 Like the door handle (outdoor handle) of the vehicle door handle device described in Patent Document 1, in a flap type outdoor handle that is normally operated by hooking a fingertip on the handle, for example, the door is deformed in the event of a vehicle collision. In an emergency situation (hereinafter simply referred to as "emergency") in which the door becomes difficult to open due to a I can't grab the door with my hand and pull hard.

一方、特許文献2に記載のアウトハンドル装置の操作ハンドル(アウトドアハンドル)のように、通常時に手で掴んで操作するグリップタイプのアウトドアハンドルでは、操作ハンドルを手で掴むことができるので、緊急時等にドアを強く引くことができる。しかし、操作ハンドルを把持可能とするためには、車両ユーザ(操作者)の手を挿入するための窪みを形成する彎曲部を車両内側に向けて膨らむようにして設け、或いは操作ハンドルを車幅方向外側へ突出させるなどして、操作ハンドルとドアの外面との間の距離を広く確保する必要があるので、アウトドアハンドルを設置するために必要な設置スペースの幅(ドアの外面からアウトドアハンドルの外面までの距離)がフラップタイプに比べて大きく増大してしまう可能性がある。 On the other hand, in a grip-type outdoor handle that is normally operated by holding it by hand, such as the operating handle (outdoor handle) of the out-handle device described in Patent Document 2, the operating handle can be grasped by hand, so that it can be used in an emergency. Etc. you can haul the door. However, in order to make the operation handle grippable, a curved portion that forms a recess for inserting the vehicle user's (operator's) hand should be provided so as to swell toward the inside of the vehicle, or the operation handle should be positioned at the width of the vehicle. It is necessary to ensure a wide distance between the operation handle and the outer surface of the door by, for example, protruding outward in the direction of the door. distance to the outer surface) may increase significantly compared to the flap type.

そこで、本開示は、力を込めてドアを強く引くことができ、且つ設置スペースの幅を抑えることが可能な車両のアウトドアハンドルの提供を目的とする。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present disclosure is to provide an outdoor handle for a vehicle that allows the door to be pulled strongly with force and that can reduce the width of the installation space.

上記課題を解決するため、本発明の第1の態様は、車両のドアの厚さ方向と交叉する方向へ延びる軸を中心として傾動可能にドアの外面側に設けられ、ドアを外側から開状態にするために操作される車両のアウトドアハンドルであって、一対のアーム部と操作部とを備える。一対のアーム部は、軸の軸方向に互いに離間した位置に配置され、軸方向と交叉する延設方向へ互いに略平行に延び、延設方向の一側が軸を中心としてドア側に傾動可能に支持される。操作部は、一対のアーム部の延設方向の他側の他端部間で軸方向に沿って延びて他端部同士を連結し、一対のアーム部とともに傾動可能である。一対のアーム部及び操作部は、操作部よりも上記一側の一対のアーム部間に開口を区画し、一対のアーム部がドアの外面に沿った方向に延びる初期位置と、一対のアーム部がドアの外面から初期位置よりも離間する操作位置との間を傾動可能である。操作部は、初期位置でドアの外面に対向する対向面を有する。初期位置の操作部は、ドアの外面との間に、開口側操作部よりも上記他側の反開口側と方から指を挿入可能な指挿入空間を区画し、開口側または反開口側の任意の一方から指挿入空間に挿入され引っ掛けられた指によってドアの外側へ向かって傾動操作可能である。操作部の対向面には、延設方向に互いに離間し、対向面から突出した状態で軸方向に沿って延びる開口側の第1凸部と反開口側の第2凸部とが設けられる。操作位置の操作部は、開口に指を挿入して把持可能である。 In order to solve the above-described problems, a first aspect of the present invention provides a vehicle door which is tiltable about an axis extending in a direction intersecting the thickness direction of the door of a vehicle, and which can be opened from the outside. An outdoor handle for a vehicle, which is operated for the purpose of controlling the vehicle, comprising a pair of arm portions and an operation portion. The pair of arm portions are arranged at positions spaced apart from each other in the axial direction of the shaft, extend substantially parallel to each other in an extending direction intersecting the axial direction, and are capable of tilting toward the door on one side in the extending direction about the shaft. Supported. The operating portion extends along the axial direction between the other end portions on the other side of the extending direction of the pair of arm portions, connects the other end portions, and is tiltable together with the pair of arm portions. A pair of arm portions and an operation portion define an opening between the pair of arm portions on the one side of the operation portion, and an initial position where the pair of arm portions extend in a direction along the outer surface of the door, and a pair of arm portions. is tiltable between an operating position spaced further from the outer surface of the door than the initial position. The operation part has a facing surface facing the outer surface of the door in the initial position. The operation unit at the initial position defines a finger insertion space between the outer surface of the door and a finger insertion space into which a finger can be inserted from both the opening side and the opposite side of the operation unit. A finger inserted into the finger insertion space from any one of the opening sides and hooked can be tilted toward the outside of the door. On the facing surface of the operating portion, a first convex portion on the opening side and a second convex portion on the opposite side of the opening are provided which are spaced apart from each other in the extension direction and extend along the axial direction while protruding from the facing surface. The operating portion at the operating position can be gripped by inserting a finger into the opening.

上記構成では、一対のアーム部の延設方向の一側が、軸を中心としてドア側に傾動可能に支持され、一対のアーム部の延設方向の他側の他端部が、軸方向に沿って延びる操作部に連結される。そして、初期位置の一対のアーム部が、ドアの外面に沿った方向に延び、初期位置の操作部は、ドアの外面との間の指挿入空間に挿入された指によってドアの外側へ向かって傾動操作可能である。すなわち、アウトドアハンドルは、一側が軸に傾動可能に支持されて他側が傾動操作されるフラップタイプのアウトドアハンドルである。このため、グリップタイプのアウトドアハンドル(棒状のハンドルの一端側がドア側に傾動可能に支持され、ハンドルの中央部を掴んでハンドルの他端側を傾動させるタイプのアウトドアハンドル)に比べて、操作者の指を挿入するための指挿入空間をドアの厚さ方向に小さく抑えることができるので、アウトドアハンドルを設置するための設置スペースの幅(ドアの厚さ方向の広さ)を抑えることができる。 In the above configuration, one side of the pair of arm portions in the extending direction is tiltably supported on the door side about the shaft, and the other end of the pair of arm portions on the other side in the extending direction extends along the axial direction. It is connected to an operating part that extends through the The pair of arm portions at the initial position extend in a direction along the outer surface of the door, and the operation portion at the initial position is extended outwardly of the door by a finger inserted into the finger insertion space between the outer surface of the door. Tilt operation is possible. That is, the outdoor handle is a flap-type outdoor handle in which one side is tiltably supported by a shaft and the other side is tilted. For this reason, compared to a grip-type outdoor handle (a type of outdoor handle in which one end of a rod-shaped handle is tiltably supported on the door side, and the other end of the handle is tilted by grasping the center of the handle), the operator can Since the finger insertion space for inserting the fingers of the door can be kept small in the thickness direction of the door, the width of the installation space for installing the outdoor handle (width in the thickness direction of the door) can be reduced. .

また、操作位置の一対のアーム部が、ドアの外面から初期位置よりも離間するので、操作位置のアウトドアハンドルの傾動方向の両側に広い空間を確保することができる。一対のアーム部及び操作部が、操作部よりも上記一側の一対のアーム部間に開口を区画し、操作位置の操作部が、開口に指を挿入して把持可能であるので、車両の衝突時にドアが変形するなどしてドアが開き難くなった緊急時等(以下、単に「緊急時等」という。)には、初期位置の操作部に指を掛けて操作位置まで傾動させて、操作位置で操作部を手で握ることができるので、力を込めてドアを強く引くことができる。
また、操作部の対向面には、対向面から突出した状態で上記軸方向に沿って延びる第1凸部及び第2凸部が形成されるので、操作部に指を掛けて傾動操作する際に、指が第1凸部または第2凸部に掛かり易くなり、アウトドアハンドルの操作性が向上する。
Further, since the pair of arm portions at the operating position are separated from the outer surface of the door more than the initial position, a wide space can be secured on both sides in the tilting direction of the outdoor handle at the operating position. A pair of arm portions and an operation portion define an opening between the pair of arm portions on the one side of the operation portion, and the operation portion at the operation position can be gripped by inserting a finger into the opening, thereby improving the vehicle. In an emergency situation where the door becomes difficult to open due to deformation of the door due to a collision (hereinafter simply referred to as an "emergency situation"), put your finger on the operating section at the initial position to tilt it to the operating position. Since the operating portion can be grasped by hand at the operating position, the door can be pulled strongly with force.
Further, since the first convex portion and the second convex portion are formed on the facing surface of the operating portion and extend along the axial direction while protruding from the facing surface, when the operating portion is tilted by putting a finger on the operating portion, In addition, the finger can be easily caught on the first convex portion or the second convex portion, and the operability of the outdoor handle is improved.

本発明の第2の態様は、上記第1の態様の車両のアウトドアハンドルであって、操作部の対向面のうち上記一側の端縁または上記他側の端縁の少なくとも一方は、湾曲している。 A second aspect of the present invention is the outdoor handle for a vehicle according to the first aspect, wherein at least one of the one-side edge and the other-side edge of the facing surface of the operating portion is curved. is doing.

上記構成では、操作部の対向面のうち上記一側の端縁または上記他側の端縁の少なくとも一方が湾曲しているので、係る部分が角部である場合に比べて、緊急時等に操作部を手で掴んで操作する際、または緊急時等ではない通常時に操作部に指を掛けて傾動操作する際に、操作部の対向面の上記一側の端縁または上記他側の端縁に当接する手の部分への応力の集中を防止することができ、手の負担を軽減することができる。 In the above configuration, since at least one of the edge on the one side and the edge on the other side of the facing surface of the operating portion is curved, compared to the case where such a portion is a corner portion, it is easier to use in an emergency or the like. When the operation part is operated by grasping it with a hand, or when the operation part is tilted by placing a finger on it in a normal situation other than an emergency, the edge of the one side or the other side of the facing surface of the operation part Concentration of stress on the portion of the hand that contacts the edge can be prevented, and the burden on the hand can be reduced.

本開示によれば、力を込めてドアを強く引くことができ、且つ設置スペースの幅を抑えることができる。 According to the present disclosure, the door can be pulled strongly with force, and the width of the installation space can be suppressed.

アウトドアハンドル10の操作部12は、前後のアーム部11の下端部14間で前後方向に延びる棒状に形成され、前後のアーム部11の下端部14同士を連結する。すなわち、アウトドアハンドル10は、車幅方向外側(又は内側)からの側面視において略U状に形成され、操作部12の上方の前後のアーム部11間にハンドル内開口(開口)19を区画する。操作部12の車幅方向外側面12aは、略平面状に形成され、前後のアーム部11の車幅方向外側面11a及びベゼル30の枠部31の車幅方向外側面31aと略同一平面上に配置される。操作部12の上面12bは、その車幅方向の中央部が上方へ膨出するように緩やかに湾曲している。操作部12の上面12bは、ベゼル30の枠内開口36の上縁36aから下方へ離間した位置に配置され、ハンドル内開口19の下方を区画する。操作部12の車幅方向内側面(対向面)12cは、その上下方向の中央部が車幅方向内側へ膨出するように緩やかに湾曲している。操作部12の車幅方向内側面12cの上縁(一側の端縁)17及び下縁(他側の端縁)18は、それぞれ湾曲した状態で上面12b又は後述する下面12dに滑らかに連続している。操作部12の車幅方向内側面12cは、ベゼル30の凹部32の車幅方向外側面32aから車幅方向外側へ離間した位置に配置され、凹部32の車幅方向外側面32aとの間に操作者の手の指を挿入可能な程度の幅(車幅方向の広さ)の指挿入空間20を区画する。指挿入空間20の上方は、ハンドル内開口19に連通する。操作部12の下面12dは、その車幅方向の中央部が下方へ膨出するように緩やかに湾曲している。操作部12の下面12dは、ベゼル30の枠内開口36の下縁36bから上方へ離間した位置に配置され、枠内開口36の下縁36bとの間にハンドル外開口21を区画する。ハンドル外開口21は、指挿入空間20に下方から連通する。 The operating portion 12 of the outdoor handle 10 is formed in a bar shape extending in the front-rear direction between the lower end portions 14 of the front and rear arm portions 11, and connects the lower end portions 14 of the front and rear arm portions 11 to each other. That is, the outdoor handle 10 is formed in a substantially U shape when viewed from the outside (or inside) in the vehicle width direction, and defines an opening (opening) 19 inside the handle between the front and rear arm portions 11 above the operation portion 12 . . The vehicle width direction outer side surface 12a of the operation portion 12 is formed in a substantially planar shape, and is substantially coplanar with the vehicle width direction outer side surfaces 11a of the front and rear arm portions 11 and the vehicle width direction outer side surface 31a of the frame portion 31 of the bezel 30. placed in The upper surface 12b of the operating portion 12 is gently curved so that the central portion in the vehicle width direction bulges upward. The upper surface 12b of the operation part 12 is arranged at a position spaced downward from the upper edge 36a of the opening 36 in the frame of the bezel 30, and defines the opening 19 in the handle. A vehicle width direction inner side surface (opposing surface) 12c of the operation portion 12 is gently curved such that the vertical central portion bulges inward in the vehicle width direction. An upper edge (one side edge) 17 and a lower edge (another side edge) 18 of the inner side surface 12c in the vehicle width direction of the operation portion 12 are curved and smoothly connected to the upper surface 12b or the lower surface 12d described later. is doing. The vehicle width direction inner side surface 12c of the operation portion 12 is arranged at a position spaced outward in the vehicle width direction from the vehicle width direction outer side surface 32a of the recessed portion 32 of the bezel 30, and is between the vehicle width direction outer side surface 32a of the recessed portion 32. A finger insertion space 20 having a width (the width in the width direction of the vehicle) into which a finger of the operator's hand can be inserted is defined. The upper part of the finger insertion space 20 communicates with the opening 19 inside the handle. A lower surface 12d of the operation portion 12 is gently curved such that the central portion in the vehicle width direction bulges downward. The lower surface 12d of the operating portion 12 is arranged at a position spaced upward from the lower edge 36b of the inner-frame opening 36 of the bezel 30, and defines the outer-handle opening 21 with the lower edge 36b of the inner-frame opening 36. As shown in FIG. The outside handle opening 21 communicates with the finger insertion space 20 from below.

アウトドアハンドル10の前後のアーム部11の前後方向の間隔(操作部12の前後方向の長さ)は、ハンドル内開口19に操作者の複数の指(本実施形態では、親指を除く4本の指)を前後方向に揃えた状態で挿入可能な間隔に設定される。また、前後のアーム部11の上下方向の長さは、操作位置(図6の二点鎖線で示す位置)においてハンドル内開口19に対して上下から操作者の指を挿入して両手で操作部12を把持可能な長さに設定される。すなわち、アウトドアハンドル10のハンドル内開口19は、指を挿入して操作部12を把持可能な大きさに設定され、操作位置のアウトドアハンドル10の操作部12は、ハンドル内開口19に指を挿入して把持可能である。 The distance between the front and rear arm portions 11 of the outdoor handle 10 (the length of the operation portion 12 in the front and rear direction) is determined by inserting a plurality of fingers of the operator (in this embodiment, four fingers excluding the thumb) into the opening 19 in the handle. The distance is set so that the fingers can be inserted with the fingers aligned in the front-rear direction. The length of the front and rear arms 11 in the vertical direction can be determined by inserting the operator's fingers from above and below into the opening 19 in the handle at the operation position (the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 6) and operating the operation unit with both hands. 12 is set to a length that can be grasped. That is, the opening 19 in the handle of the outdoor handle 10 is set to a size that allows the operation portion 12 to be gripped by inserting a finger, and the operation portion 12 of the outdoor handle 10 at the operating position is inserted into the opening 19 in the handle. can be grasped by

次に、初期位置と操作位置との間のアウトドアハンドル10の動きについて、図6に基づいて説明する。初期位置(実線で示す位置)では、アウトドアハンドル10の前後のアーム部11は、上下方向(凹部32の車幅方向外側面32a(サイドドア3の車幅方向外側面3a)に沿った方向)に延びている。操作者が、初期位置のアウトドアハンドル10のハンドル内開口19またはアウトドアハンドル10の下方のハンドル外開口21から指挿入空間20に手の指を挿入して操作部12に指を引っ掛けて、操作部12を車幅方向外側へ引くと、アウトドアハンドル10の操作部12側が軸棒35の軸心CL(図3及び図5参照)を中心として車幅方向外側の上方へ向かうように傾動し、アウトドアハンドル10が操作位置(二点鎖線で示す位置)に到達する。操作位置では、アウトドアハンドル10の前後のアーム部11は、ベゼル30の凹部32の車幅方向外側面32aから初期位置に位置するときよりも車幅方向外側へ離間し、サイドドア3の車幅方向外側面3aに対して交叉する方向へ延びる。また、操作位置では、アウトドアハンドル10の操作部12及びハンドル内開口19の少なくとも一部は、アウタパネル5の車幅方向外側面5aよりも車幅方向外側に位置し、操作部12及びハンドル内開口19の上下には、車両1の外側の広い車外空間22が確保される。 Next, movement of the outdoor handle 10 between the initial position and the operating position will be described with reference to FIG. At the initial position (the position indicated by the solid line), the front and rear arms 11 of the outdoor handle 10 are positioned vertically (along the vehicle width direction outer surface 32a of the recess 32 (the vehicle width direction outer surface 3a of the side door 3)). extends to The operator inserts a finger into the finger insertion space 20 through the handle inner opening 19 of the outdoor handle 10 at the initial position or the handle outer opening 21 below the outdoor handle 10, hooks the finger on the operating portion 12, and then operates the operating portion. 12 is pulled outward in the vehicle width direction, the operating portion 12 side of the outdoor handle 10 tilts upward in the vehicle width direction about the axial center CL of the shaft rod 35 (see FIGS. 3 and 5). The handle 10 reaches the operating position (the position indicated by the two-dot chain line). At the operating position, the front and rear arm portions 11 of the outdoor handle 10 are spaced further outward in the vehicle width direction from the vehicle width direction outer side surface 32a of the recessed portion 32 of the bezel 30 than when positioned at the initial position. It extends in a direction intersecting with the directional outer surface 3a. At the operating position, the operating portion 12 of the outdoor handle 10 and at least a portion of the handle inner opening 19 are positioned outside the vehicle width direction outer side surface 5a of the outer panel 5 in the vehicle width direction. A wide outside space 22 outside the vehicle 1 is secured above and below the vehicle 19 .

上記のように構成されたアウトドアハンドル10では、前後のアーム部11の上端15側が前後方向に延びる軸棒35の軸心CLを中心としてサイドドア3側に傾動可能に支持され、操作部12が前後方向に延びて前後のアーム部11の下端部14同士を連結する。そして、操作者は、初期位置のアウトドアハンドル10の操作部12に指を引っ掛けて、アウトドアハンドル10の操作部12側を車幅方向外側の上方へ引き上げて傾動操作する。このように、アウトドアハンドル10は、フラップタイプのアウトドアハンドル10であり、指挿入空間20に必要とされる幅(車幅方向の広さ)は、操作者の手の指を挿入可能な程度の幅であるので、グリップタイプのアウトドアハンドル(棒状のハンドルの一端側がドア側に傾動可能に支持され、ハンドルの中央部を掴んでハンドルの他端側を傾動させるタイプのアウトドアハンドル)のようにハンドルを掴むための広い幅の空間をハンドルの車幅方向内側に確保する必要がない。このため、操作者の指を挿入するための指挿入空間20の幅を小さく抑えることができるので、アウトドアハンドル10を設置するために必要な設置スペースの幅L(ドアの外面からアウトドアハンドルの外面までの距離L)を抑えることができる(図6参照)。 In the outdoor handle 10 configured as described above, the upper end 15 sides of the front and rear arm portions 11 are supported so as to be tiltable toward the side door 3 about the axial center CL of the axial rod 35 extending in the front-rear direction. It extends in the front-rear direction and connects the lower end portions 14 of the front and rear arm portions 11 to each other. Then, the operator hooks a finger on the operating portion 12 of the outdoor handle 10 at the initial position, lifts the operating portion 12 side of the outdoor handle 10 upward in the vehicle width direction, and performs a tilting operation. As described above, the outdoor handle 10 is a flap type outdoor handle 10, and the width required for the finger insertion space 20 (width in the vehicle width direction) is such that the operator's fingers can be inserted. Since it is wide, it can be handled like a grip type outdoor handle (a type of outdoor handle in which one end of a bar-shaped handle is tiltably supported on the door side, and the other end of the handle is tilted by grasping the center of the handle). There is no need to secure a wide space inside the steering wheel in the vehicle width direction for grasping the For this reason, the width of the finger insertion space 20 for inserting the operator's fingers can be kept small, so the width L of the installation space required for installing the outdoor handle 10 (from the outer surface of the door to the outer surface of the outdoor handle) can be reduced. distance L) can be suppressed (see FIG. 6).

また、操作位置のアウトドアハンドル10の前後のアーム部11は、初期位置に位置するときよりもベゼル30の凹部32の車幅方向外側面32aから車幅方向外側へ離間し、サイドドア3の車幅方向外側面3aに対して交叉する方向へ延びる。これにより、操作位置では、アウトドアハンドル10の操作部12及びハンドル内開口19の上下には、車両1の外側の広い車外空間22が確保される。そして、アウトドアハンドル10のハンドル内開口19は、指を挿入して操作部12を把持可能な大きさに設定され、操作位置のアウトドアハンドル10の操作部12は、ハンドル内開口19に指を挿入して把持可能であるので、車両1の衝突時にサイドドア3が変形するなどしてサイドドア3が開き難くなった緊急時等(以下、単に「緊急時等」という。)には、初期位置のアウトドアハンドル10の操作部12に指を掛けて操作位置まで傾動させて、操作位置で操作部12を手で握ることができるので、力を込めてサイドドア3を強く引くことができる。 Further, the front and rear arm portions 11 of the outdoor handle 10 at the operating position are further spaced outward in the vehicle width direction from the vehicle width direction outer side surface 32a of the recessed portion 32 of the bezel 30 than when the outdoor handle 10 is at the initial position. It extends in a direction crossing the width direction outer side surface 3a. As a result, at the operating position, a wide outside space 22 outside the vehicle 1 is secured above and below the operating portion 12 of the outdoor handle 10 and the inner opening 19 of the handle. The opening 19 in the handle of the outdoor handle 10 is set to a size that allows the operation portion 12 to be gripped by inserting a finger, and the operation portion 12 of the outdoor handle 10 at the operation position is inserted into the opening 19 in the handle. Therefore, in an emergency such as when the side door 3 becomes difficult to open due to deformation of the side door 3 at the time of a collision of the vehicle 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as "emergency etc."), the initial position can be held. A finger is put on the operation part 12 of the outdoor handle 10 to tilt it to the operation position, and the operation part 12 can be grasped at the operation position, so that the side door 3 can be pulled strongly with force.

また、前後のアーム部11の上下方向の長さは、操作位置においてハンドル内開口19に対して上下から操作者の指を挿入して両手で操作部12を把持可能な長さに設定される。このため、緊急時等に操作位置で操作部12を両手で握ることができるので、より強く力を込めてサイドドア3を強く引くことができる。 The length of the front and rear arms 11 in the vertical direction is set to a length that allows the operator to insert his/her fingers into the opening 19 in the handle from above and below and grasp the operation unit 12 with both hands at the operation position. . Therefore, in an emergency or the like, the operating portion 12 can be grasped with both hands at the operating position, so that the side door 3 can be pulled with greater force.

従って、本実施形態によれば、力を込めてサイドドア3を強く引くことができ、且つアウトドアハンドル10の設置スペースの幅Lを抑えることができる。 Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the side door 3 can be pulled with great force, and the width L of the installation space for the outdoor handle 10 can be suppressed.

また、アウトドアハンドル10の操作部12の車幅方向内側面12cの上縁17及び下縁18は、それぞれ湾曲した状態で上面12b又は下面12dに滑らかに連続している。このため、操作部12の車幅方向内側面12cの上縁17及び下縁18の一方または双方が角部である場合に比べて、緊急時等に操作部12を手で掴んで操作する際、または緊急時等ではない通常時に操作部12に指を掛けて傾動操作する際に、操作部12の車幅方向内側面12cの上縁17または下縁18に当接する手の部分への応力の集中を防止することができ、手の負担を軽減することができる。 Further, the upper edge 17 and the lower edge 18 of the vehicle width direction inner side surface 12c of the operation portion 12 of the outdoor handle 10 are curved and smoothly connected to the upper surface 12b or the lower surface 12d. Therefore, compared to the case where one or both of the upper edge 17 and the lower edge 18 of the inner side surface 12c in the vehicle width direction of the operating portion 12 are corner portions, it is easier to grasp and operate the operating portion 12 in an emergency or the like. , or stress on the part of the hand that contacts the upper edge 17 or the lower edge 18 of the vehicle width direction inner side surface 12c of the operation unit 12 when the operation unit 12 is tilted by putting a finger on it in a normal situation other than an emergency. It can prevent the concentration of people and reduce the burden on the hands.

また、アウトドアハンドル10の操作部12の車幅方向内側面12cは、その上下方向の中央部が車幅方向内側へ膨出するように緩やかに湾曲しているので、操作部12の車幅方向内側面12cが平面状に形成されている場合とは異なり、操作部12の車幅方向内側面12cが手のひらに接触し易くなる。このため、操作部12を握り易いので、アウトドアハンドル10の緊急時等の操作性が向上する。 In addition, since the vehicle width direction inner side surface 12c of the operation portion 12 of the outdoor handle 10 is gently curved so that the center portion in the vertical direction bulges inward in the vehicle width direction, the operation portion 12 is curved in the vehicle width direction. Unlike the case where the inner side surface 12c is formed in a flat shape, the vehicle width direction inner side surface 12c of the operation portion 12 easily comes into contact with the palm. Therefore, the operation portion 12 can be easily gripped, and the operability of the outdoor handle 10 is improved in an emergency.

また、アウトドアハンドル10は、車幅方向外側(又は内側)からの側面視において略U状に形成され、操作部12の上方の前後のアーム部11間にハンドル内開口19を区画し、ハンドル内開口19は、操作部12の車幅方向内側面12cとベゼル30の凹部32の車幅方向外側面32aとの間の指挿入空間20に連通する。このため、アウトドアハンドル10を初期位置から操作位置へ傾動操作する際に、操作部12の下方のハンドル外開口21のみならず、アウトドアハンドル10のハンドル内開口19からも指挿入空間20に指を挿入して傾動操作可能であるので、アウトドアハンドル10の通常時の操作性が向上する。 The outdoor handle 10 is formed in a substantially U shape when viewed from the outside (or inside) in the width direction of the vehicle. The opening 19 communicates with the finger insertion space 20 between the vehicle width direction inner side surface 12 c of the operation portion 12 and the vehicle width direction outer side surface 32 a of the recess 32 of the bezel 30 . Therefore, when the outdoor handle 10 is tilted from the initial position to the operating position, a finger can be inserted into the finger insertion space 20 not only through the handle outside opening 21 below the operating portion 12 but also through the handle inside opening 19 of the outdoor handle 10. Since it can be tilted by inserting it, the operability of the outdoor handle 10 is improved in normal times.

なお、本実施形態では、アウトドアハンドル10の操作部12の車幅方向内側面12cの上縁17及び下縁18の双方を湾曲させたが、操作部12の車幅方向内側面12cの上縁17または下縁18のいずれか一方のみを湾曲させていてもよい。或いは、操作部12の車幅方向内側面12cの上縁17及び下縁18の双方を湾曲させなくてもよい。 In this embodiment, both the upper edge 17 and the lower edge 18 of the vehicle width direction inner side surface 12c of the operation portion 12 of the outdoor handle 10 are curved. Only one of 17 or lower edge 18 may be curved. Alternatively, both the upper edge 17 and the lower edge 18 of the inner side surface 12c in the vehicle width direction of the operating portion 12 may not be curved.

次に、本発明の第2実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。本実施形態のアウトドアハンドル40は、操作部41の車幅方向内側面41cの形状が第1実施形態と相違する。なお、第1実施形態と同様の構成については同一の符号を付してその説明を省略する。 Next, a second embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The outdoor handle 40 of this embodiment differs from that of the first embodiment in the shape of the inner side surface 41c of the operation portion 41 in the vehicle width direction. In addition, the same code|symbol is attached|subjected about the structure similar to 1st Embodiment, and the description is abbreviate|omitted.

図7及び図8に示すように、アウトドアハンドル40は、サイドドア3を外側から開状態にする際に指先を引っ掛けて傾動操作するフラップタイプのアウトドアハンドル40である。アウトドアハンドル40の操作部41は、前後のアーム部11の下端部14間で前後方向に延びる棒状に形成され、前後のアーム部11の下端部14同士を連結する。すなわち、アウトドアハンドル40は、車幅方向外側(又は内側)からの側面視において略U状に形成され、操作部41の上方の前後のアーム部11間にハンドル内開口19を区画する。操作部41の車幅方向外側面41aは、略平面状に形成され、前後のアーム部11の車幅方向外側面11a及びベゼル30の枠部31の車幅方向外側面31aと略同一平面上に配置される。操作部41の上面41bは、その車幅方向の中央部が上方へ膨出するように緩やかに湾曲している。操作部41の上面41bは、ベゼル30の枠内開口36の上縁36aから下方へ離間した位置に配置され、ハンドル内開口19の下方を区画する。操作部41の車幅方向内側面(対向面)41cの上端部及び下端部には、車幅方向内側へ突出した状態で操作部41の前後の略全域に亘って前後方向に延びる上下の凸部42a,42bが形成される。上下の凸部42a,42bは互いに上下に離間した位置に形成される。操作部41の車幅方向内側面41cの上下の凸部42a,42b間の領域43は、凸部42a,42bの頂部よりも車幅方向外側に配置されて、平面状に形成される。操作部41の車幅方向内側面41cの上縁17及び下縁18は、それぞれ湾曲した状態で上面41b又は後述する下面41dに滑らかに連続している。操作部41の車幅方向内側面41cは、ベゼル30の凹部32の車幅方向外側面32aから車幅方向外側へ離間した位置に配置され、凹部32の車幅方向外側面32aとの間に操作者の手の指を挿入可能な程度の幅の指挿入空間20を区画する。操作部41の下面41dは、その車幅方向の中央部が下方へ膨出するように緩やかに湾曲している。操作部41の下面41dは、ベゼル30の枠内開口36の下縁36bから上方へ離間した位置に配置され、枠内開口36の下縁36bとの間にハンドル外開口21を区画する。操作位置(図8に二点鎖線で示す位置)のアウトドアハンドル40の操作部41は、ハンドル内開口19に指を挿入して把持可能である。 As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the outdoor handle 40 is a flap-type outdoor handle 40 that is tilted by hooking a fingertip when opening the side door 3 from the outside. The operating portion 41 of the outdoor handle 40 is formed in a bar shape extending in the front-rear direction between the lower end portions 14 of the front and rear arm portions 11, and connects the lower end portions 14 of the front and rear arm portions 11 to each other. That is, the outdoor handle 40 is formed in a substantially U shape when viewed from the outside (or inside) in the vehicle width direction, and defines the handle inner opening 19 between the front and rear arm portions 11 above the operating portion 41 . A vehicle width direction outer side surface 41a of the operation portion 41 is formed in a substantially planar shape, and is substantially on the same plane as the vehicle width direction outer side surfaces 11a of the front and rear arm portions 11 and the vehicle width direction outer side surface 31a of the frame portion 31 of the bezel 30. placed in The upper surface 41b of the operating portion 41 is gently curved so that the central portion in the vehicle width direction bulges upward. The upper surface 41b of the operating portion 41 is arranged at a position spaced downward from the upper edge 36a of the opening 36 in the frame of the bezel 30, and defines the opening 19 in the handle. Upper and lower protrusions protrude inward in the vehicle width direction and extend in the front-rear direction over substantially the entire front and rear surfaces of the operation portion 41 on the upper and lower ends of a vehicle width direction inner side surface (opposing surface) 41c of the operation section 41. Parts 42a and 42b are formed. The upper and lower protrusions 42a and 42b are formed at positions separated from each other in the vertical direction. A region 43 between the upper and lower projections 42a and 42b on the inner side surface 41c in the vehicle width direction of the operation portion 41 is arranged outside the tops of the projections 42a and 42b in the vehicle width direction and formed in a planar shape. The upper edge 17 and the lower edge 18 of the inner side surface 41c in the vehicle width direction of the operating portion 41 are curved and smoothly connected to the upper surface 41b or the lower surface 41d described later. The vehicle width direction inner side surface 41c of the operation portion 41 is arranged at a position spaced outward in the vehicle width direction from the vehicle width direction outer side surface 32a of the recess 32 of the bezel 30, and is between the vehicle width direction outer side surface 32a of the recess 32. A finger-insertion space 20 having a width in which the operator's fingers can be inserted is defined. A lower surface 41d of the operation portion 41 is gently curved so that the central portion thereof in the vehicle width direction bulges downward. A lower surface 41 d of the operating portion 41 is arranged at a position spaced upward from the lower edge 36 b of the inner frame opening 36 of the bezel 30 , and defines the outer handle opening 21 with the lower edge 36 b of the inner frame opening 36 . The operating portion 41 of the outdoor handle 40 at the operating position (the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 8) can be gripped by inserting a finger into the opening 19 inside the handle.

上記のように構成されたアウトドアハンドル40では、操作者は、初期位置(図8に実線で示す位置)のアウトドアハンドル40の操作部41に指を引っ掛けて、アウトドアハンドル40の操作部41側を車幅方向外側の上方へ引き上げて傾動操作する。このように、アウトドアハンドル40は、フラップタイプのアウトドアハンドル40であるので、上記第1実施形態と同様に、操作者の指を挿入するための指挿入空間20の幅を小さく抑えることができるので、アウトドアハンドル40を設置するために必要な設置スペースの幅Lを抑えることができる(図8参照)。 With the outdoor handle 40 configured as described above, the operator hooks his or her finger on the operating portion 41 of the outdoor handle 40 in the initial position (the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. 8) and pulls the operating portion 41 side of the outdoor handle 40. The tilting operation is performed by pulling upward on the outside in the vehicle width direction. Thus, since the outdoor handle 40 is a flap-type outdoor handle 40, the width of the finger insertion space 20 for inserting the operator's finger can be reduced as in the first embodiment. , the width L of the installation space required for installing the outdoor handle 40 can be suppressed (see FIG. 8).

また、操作位置(図8に二点鎖線で示す位置)ではアウトドアハンドル40の操作部41及びハンドル内開口19の上下には、車両1の外側の広い車外空間22が確保される。そして、操作位置のアウトドアハンドル40の操作部41は、ハンドル内開口19に指を挿入して把持可能であるので、上記第1実施形態と同様に、緊急時等に操作位置の操作部41を把持して力を込めてサイドドア3を強く引くことができる。 At the operating position (the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 8), a wide outside space 22 outside the vehicle 1 is secured above and below the operating portion 41 of the outdoor handle 40 and the handle inner opening 19 . Since the operating portion 41 of the outdoor handle 40 at the operating position can be gripped by inserting a finger into the handle inner opening 19, the operating portion 41 at the operating position can be operated in an emergency or the like, as in the first embodiment. The side door 3 can be strongly pulled by grasping and exerting force.

従って、本実施形態によれば、力を込めてサイドドア3を強く引くことができ、且つアウトドアハンドル40の設置スペースの幅Lを抑えることができる。 Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the side door 3 can be pulled with great force, and the width L of the installation space for the outdoor handle 40 can be suppressed.

また、操作部41の車幅方向内側面41cの上端部及び下端部に、車幅方向内側へ突出した状態で前後方向に延びる上下の凸部42a,42bが形成される。このため、通常時に操作部41に指を掛けて傾動操作する際に、指先が上下の凸部42a,42bに掛かり易いので、アウトドアハンドル40の操作性が向上する。 Upper and lower protrusions 42a and 42b are formed on the upper and lower ends of the vehicle width direction inner side surface 41c of the operating portion 41 so as to protrude inward in the vehicle width direction and extend in the front-rear direction.
