Abstract: An inside door handle assembly includes a handle rotatably held on a base to be secured to a vehicle's door and a knob rotatably held on the base. The base has first, second and third upright walls. The handle is disposed with respect to the first and second upright walls to cover the top of the second upright wall and the knob is disposed with respect to the second and third upright walls. The lateral movement of the handle is limited by the knob, thereby preventing the handle from becoming detached from the base.

Abstract: An inside door handle assembly is comprised of a bezel secured to a door of a vehicle and a handle pivotally mounted on the bezel for opening the door. The bezel and/or door has a main portion of a hard rigid material and an outer surface portion of a resilient material.

Abstract: A door inside handle device, typically for a vehicle door, having a base plate, an opening handle rotatably mounted on the base plate, and a locking knob rotatably mounted on the base plate above an upper portion of the opening handle, includes a circular hole and an arcuate-shaped elongated hole or slot formed on an upper surface of the locking knob, a first hinge pin of the opening handle penetrating the slot, a second hinge pin of the locking knob penetrating the circular hole, and a hinge center or axis of the locking knob located offset from a hinge center or axis of the opening handle in a direction opposite to the direction of force applicable to the opening handle. The device includes a spring for biasing the opening handle to a certain position with respect to the baseplate. The handle and knob outer surfaces, farthest into interior vehicle space, are substantially flush with one another.

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.
