Patent number: 9181733Abstract: In a vehicle door handle system, a handle is pivotally supported by a base member, at least one portion of the base member being attached to an outer panel; and a lever member is pivotally supported by a spindle fixed to the base member and having an axis at a right angle to a plane extending along the outer panel, the lever member being interlocked and connected with a handle arm configured to pivot with the handle and the lever member being linked to a latch device. An attachment part which attaches the base member to the outer panel is disposed coaxially with the spindle. Accordingly, it is possible to attach the base member to the outer panel while avoiding the bulkiness of conventional systems.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2011Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignees: Kabushiki Kaisha Honda Lock, Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroto Fujiwara, Koichi Sakamoto, Yuujiro Tashima

Patent number: 8408611Abstract: A vehicle door handle device whereby a door is kept in a locked state by a locking device even if excessive external force is applied to an operation handle. A vehicle door handle device includes a handle base with which an operation handle and a cable are integrated. The handle base has a first portion including a securing part fixed to a door panel, and a second portion including a handle attachment part and a cable fixing part. The handle base further has a weak part between the first portion and the second portion, the weak part being designed to have lower rupture strength than these portions.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2009Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyuki Takagai, Yuujiro Tashima, Hiroshige Tanaka

Patent number: 7913354Abstract: An automobile door checker includes a case secured to a door, a check plate that runs movably through the case and is pivotably supported on a body, a detent member fitted into and retained by the case and working in cooperation with a detent face of the check plate, and a resilient member that is made of a resilient material and is provided in a compressed state in a housing chamber defined between an outer end face of the detent member and an inner end face of the case, wherein the resilient member is formed so that it substantially fills the housing chamber, the resilient member is provided with a hole portion that allows resilient deformation of the resilient member, the hole portion being sealed by the outer end face and the inner end face, and a half of the resilient member on the outer end face side and a half on the inner end face side are symmetrical.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2006Date of Patent: March 29, 2011Assignees: Honda Motor Co., Ltd., Rikenkaki Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yuujiro Tashima, Hidetoshi Ijuin, Yasuhiko Yoshida, Yuji Murayama, Yuji Arie

Patent number: 7861372Abstract: An automobile door checker includes a case secured to a door, a check plate that runs movably through the case and has its base end pivotably supported on a body, a detent member fitted into and retained by the case and working in cooperation with a detent face of the check plate and a resilient member that is formed from a resilient material and is provided in a compressed state in a housing chamber defined between an outer end face of the detent member and an inner end face of the case, wherein the resilient member substantially and tightly fills the housing chamber, thus preventing rainwater from infiltrating into the housing chamber. In this way, it is possible to prevent infiltration of rainwater into a housing chamber of a case housing a resilient member by a simple structure.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2006Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yuujiro Tashima, Hidetoshi Ijuin, Yasuhiko Yoshida
