3 Claims. (Cl. 292-348) Thi invention relates to a vehicle door handle assembly and more particularly to a tilting typedoor handle assembly.
It is the object of this invention to produce a tilting type door handle assembly which is of simple structure and which cannot be removed when the vehicle door is closed.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a horizontal section through the handle assembly, vehicle door and a portion of the body pillar.
Figs. 2 and 3 are sections along the lines 2-2 and 3-3 of Fig. 1.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, there is shown a vehicle door I having an overlap flange 2, a door lock pillar 3. The body pillar is designated 4. The door lock bolt 5 is generally in the form of a U which projects through a suitable openin in the lock pillar 3 and is pivoted on the lock frame 6 by pins 1 and 8 so that it can swing upwardly and downwardly about a substantially horizontal axis which is substantially perpendicular to the plane of the door.
The handle assembly for retracting bolt 5 comprises a handle 9 having a shank I journalled upon pin I I which is mounted in openings I2 and I3 in escutcheon I4. Pin II is provided with a transverse groove I in one end thereof. A set screw I6 having a screw fit in opening I! in escutcheon I4 interengages pin II in groove I5 to lock the same in place. Screw I6 passes through an openin I8 in plate 23 and an opening l9 in the door overlap flange 2. Rollback 2D is cast or fixed within handle 9 and pivots on pin II in opening 3L Escutcheon I4 is provided with a recess 22 which receives handle shank I0.
Pin I I is provided with a tapped bore 28 in one end which is closed by screw 29. When it is desired to remove pin I I, screw 29 is first removed and then a threaded instrument is screwed into hole 28 and the pin pulled out of escutcheon I4 and shank I 0, set screw I6, of course, having first been removed. Screw 29 keeps dirt and moisture out of hole 28. Escutcheon I4 is provided with an opening 3! through which rollback 20 passes.
The handle is assembled to the door as follows: Plate 23 is first afiixed within the door on the 2 inside of the outside door panel, escutcheon I4 is then secured to plate 23 by bolts 26 and nuts 28. is next assembled to escutcheon I4 by inserting shank Ill in recess 22 and passing pin II into openings 52 and I3 and through shank I0. While door I is in open position set screw I6 is now screwed into opening IT in escutcheon I 4 with the end of set screw I6 interengaging groove I5 to look pin II in place. Screw I6 i accessible through opening I9 with an ordinary screwdriver. Screw 29 can be inserted in pin II either before or after it is assembled to escutcheon I4.
When the door is closed the tilt handle 9 cannot be removed because the door overlap flange and pillar 4 positively prevent access to screw I6 and shank Ill substantially fills recess 22 and covers the heads of bolts 26 so that they cannot be reached by any instrument from without the car. Handle 9 is tilted downwardly about pin II upon a substantially horizontal axis to retract latch bolt 5. The tilting of handle 9 to retract bolt 5 is shown in the dotted lines Fig. 2.
I claim:
1. A vehicle door handle assembly comprising a handle having a shank, an escutcheon having a recess adapted to receive said shank, means passing through a wall of the recessed portion of said escutcheon for securing the escutcheon to the door, means for pivoting the shank in said recess with the shank overlying said securing means whereby the shank conceals the aforesaid securing means to prevent access thereto from outside the door, said pivot means being spaced outwardly from the outer wall of the door and being accessible from the outer face Of the door, and means engageable with said pivot means and accessible through a wall of said door only when the door is open for securing the pivot means in operative relation with said handle shank and escutcheon.
2. A vehicle door handle assembly comprising a handle having a shank, an attaching plate adapted to be secured to the inside face of the outer door panel, an escutcheon having a recess adapted to receive said shank, means passing through the base of said recess for securing the escutcheon to the plate, pivot means for pivotally mounting the handle shank in said recess on an axis substantially parallel to the plane of the door and over the aforesaid securing means whereby the latter are inaccessible as long as the shank is pivotally supported in said recess, said pivot means being spaced outwardly from the outer face of the door so as to be accessible Handle 9, with rollback 20 afiixed thereto,v
from the outer side of the door for disassembling said handle from said escutcheon, and means adapted to be inserted in place from the inner face of the door when the door is open for interengaging the escutcheon and said pivot means.
3. A handle assembly for a vehicle door comprising an escutcheon having a recess therein, means passing through a wall of said recess for securing the escutcheon to the door, a handle having a shank fitted into said recess, said shank covering said securin means whereby the securing means is inaccessible for removal, a pin upon which said shank is journalled mounted in said escutcheon, said pin having at least one end accessible for removal from the outer face of the door, and means engageable with said pin for locking said pin in said escutcheon, said last mentioned means being assembled to said escutcheon and pin from the inside face of the door whereby the said means is inaccessible when the door is closed.
