  • Patent number: 10087657
    Abstract: A handle device for a vehicle is provided with: an operating section rotatably connected to a handle base; a cable device formed by inserting in a slidable manner an inner cable, which has a connection section provided at the front end thereof, into an outer cable, the cable device being configured in such a manner that the connection section of the inner cable is fitted to a cable connection hole, which is formed in the operating section, to enable operating force applied to the operating section to be transmitted to a door lock device on the vehicle side; and a connection aid connected to the front end of the outer cable and mounted on the handle base while holding the connection section of the inner cable in a movable manner.

  • Publication number: 20180002954
    Abstract: A vehicular door handle apparatus includes a fixed handle fixed to a door of a vehicle from a front surface of the door, a movable handle rotatably connected to the fixed handle, and an output lever rotatably connected to a connecting block projected on the fixed handle and inserted into an inside of the door. An operational force on the movable handle is transmitted to a door lock device fixed to the door through the output lever. A counter weight which cancels a force in an actuation direction occurred in the output lever by inertia when the door receives a side collision force, is connected to the connecting block.

  • Publication number: 20160076275
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a handle device configured so as to enable easier connection of a cable device. A handle device for a vehicle is provided with: an operating section (2) connected to a handle base (1) so that the operating section (2) is capable of being rotated and operated; a cable device (8) formed by inserting in a slidable manner an inner cable (4), which has a connection section (3) provided at the front end thereof, into an outer cable (5), the cable device (8) being configured in such a manner that the connection section (3) of the inner cable (4) is fitted to a cable connection hole (6), which is formed in the operating section (2), to enable operating force applied to the operating section (2) to be transmitted to a door lock device (7) on the vehicle side; and a connection aid (9) connected to the front end of the outer cable (5) and mounted on the handle base (1) while holding the connection section (3) of the inner cable (4) in a movable manner.

  • Patent number: 4681357
    Abstract: An automotive door handle container which is formed by and on an escutcheon fixedly attached to a door panel, for normally containing a pivotable handle piece. The escutcheon is formed at a slightly lower level than the inside edge of the handle piece for covering a small idle gap between the handle piece and the escutcheon to prevent harmful physical damage to the operator's finger nail otherwise occurring during manual handling of the handle piece.

  • Patent number: 4634161
    Abstract: An automotive outside door handle unit includes a plastic resin-made outside door handle proper and two operating arms. These arms are mechanically connected with door lock means arranged in an automotive door. The handle proper and the operating arms are united rigidly into one piece with a plastic resin material. The unit is characterized by the formation of a material-thefting bridge structure formed at the uniting root end of the operating arm for the prevention of otherwise formation of defective contraction marks during molding.

  • Patent number: 4565994
    Abstract: A device for detecting the removal of a cylinder lock used on cars, trunks, etc. when an unjust force is applied to the cylinder lock. The device also detects the locked and unlocked conditions of the cylinder lock. Magnets and magnetic sensor switches are used. A magnetic shield plate shields the flow of magnetic flux between the magnet and the magnetic sensor switch. When an unjust force is applied to the cylinder lock to take off the cylinder lock, the magnetic shield plate will be removed from between the magnet and the magnetic sensor switch, causing the magnet to energize the magnetic sensor switch, thereby detecting the removal of the cylinder lock.In addition, when the cylinder lock is turned by a key, another magnet connected to a rotor of fixed on the cylinder lock approaches either of a pair of magnetic sensor switches, whereby the locked and unlocked conditions of the cylinder lock are detected.
