Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an assembly element for assembling a lever to a bracket of a vehicle door handle. The invention also relates to a bracket for a vehicle door handle, an assembly for a door handle, a vehicle door handle, and a related method. [Background Art]

[0002] A vehicle door handle mechanism, which enables transmission of motion from a vehicle door handle to a door latch, consists of a plurality of movable components including a lever that can be assembled to a door bracket.

[0003] Common methods for attaching a lever to a vehicle door handle bracket include using a rivet with a washer, or using a screw, a washer and a nut. Alternatively, there is a method of bayonet-mounting the lever to the bracket, in which the lever can be attached by pushing the bracket into place and rotating the lever relative to the bracket. However, these methods require grease to be applied between the lever and the bracket to ensure the lever rotates correctly relative to the bracket. This results in longer assembly time and the need for additional purchase of grease, which increases costs. [Summary of the Invention] [Problem to be Solved by the Invention]

[0004] In view of such conventional technology and its problems, there is a need to develop a solution that reduces the cost and complexity in the process of assembling a lever to a bracket of a vehicle door handle without significantly complicating the design of the bracket and the handle mechanism. [Means for Solving the Problem]

The skirt portion is provided with a peripheral wall, which has an outer surface and an inner surface, and is configured such that when the lever is attached to the bracket, the outer surface of the skirt portion contacts the lever and the inner surface contacts the bracket. The outer surface of the skirt portion is treated to reduce its coefficient of friction. The assembly element comprises an assembly part, which is located at a second end of the assembly element opposite to the first end, the main body connects the head and the assembly part, and the assembly part is shaped to hold the lever between the bracket and the head in the direction of the rotation axis when the lever is assembled to the bracket. The assembly part is configured to be inserted into the bracket from the first side surface of the bracket, and is configured so that when the lever is assembled to the bracket, the lever is positioned on the first side surface of the bracket. The assembly part is provided with at least one projection configured to be sandwiched between two stoppers of the bracket when the lever is assembled to the bracket, thereby restricting the rotation of the assembly element relative to the bracket. The assembly element is configured to rotate around the rotation axis relative to the bracket, and is configured to assemble the lever to the bracket after the main body is inserted into the bracket. The at least one projection has a rounded curved surface and / or an inclined surface, and is configured such that when the assembly element rotates relative to the bracket about the axis of rotation, this rounded curved surface and / or inclined surface slides on the ramp of the bracket. The head has a peripheral portion, and when the lever is assembled to the bracket, the lever is configured to be positioned at least partially between the peripheral portion and the bracket in the direction of the rotation axis. The head has a recess separated by its bottom wall and side wall, the recess extending from the bottom wall away from the main body and / or the assembly part, for example, opening through the top surface of the head, and the top surface facing away from the main body and / or the assembly part.

[0007] The present invention also relates to a bracket configured to be assembled to at least one lever by the assembly element, the bracket having an opening, the body of the assembly element being inserted through the opening when the bracket is assembled to the lever.

[0008] The present invention also relates to an assembly for a door handle, comprising the bracket, at least one of the levers, and at least one of the assembly elements, the assembly element being configured to assemble the lever to the bracket.

[0009] The assembly element and the bracket are configured such that when the lever is assembled to the bracket, the lever can rotate relative to the assembly element without the need to apply grease between the lever and the skirt portion, and / or the friction coefficient of the contact surface between the skirt portion and the lever is low.

[0010] The present invention also relates to an assembly for a door handle in which the lever is assembled to the bracket by the assembly element.

[0013] Referring to FIG. 12, there is shown a vehicle door handle 90. The door handle 90 is configured to be attached to another portion of a vehicle door, such as a vehicle door panel. The door handle 90 may include an assembly 100 for a door handle. The door handle 90 may be a flush handle type.

[0014] The assembly 100 for a door handle will be described with reference to FIGS. 4, 6 and 12. The assembly 100 includes, for example, one bracket 1, at least one lever 2, and at least one assembly element 3, and the at least one lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1 by the at least one assembly element 3.

[0015] Bracket 1 has a first side surface 1a. This first side surface 1a may be configured to face inward towards the vehicle or outward towards the vehicle when, for example, the door handle 90 is attached to the vehicle. Bracket 1 also has a second side surface 1b, which may be configured to face outward towards the vehicle or inward towards the vehicle when, for example, the door handle 90 is attached to the vehicle. Assembly elements

[0016] Referring to Figures 1 to 8, an assembly element 3 is shown, which is, for example, at least one assembly element 3 of assembly 100.

[0017] This assembly element 3 is configured to assemble, for example, a lever 2, for example, at least one lever 2 of an assembly 100, to a bracket 1 of an assembly 100, for example, a door handle 90 of a vehicle. For example, it is configured to assemble so that the lever 2 can rotate about a pivot axis Y1 fixed to the bracket 1. The rotation axis Y1 may be oriented in a first direction along the axis extending from the second side surface 1b to the first side surface 1a, and / or, if, for example, the door handle 90 is mounted on the vehicle, for example, if it is mounted at a location away from the interior of the vehicle, it may be oriented towards the interior of the vehicle. The rotation axis Y1 may be oriented in a second direction along the axis extending from the first side surface 1a to the second side surface 1b and / or toward the outside of the vehicle. For example, if the door handle 90 is mounted on the vehicle, it may be mounted facing away from the inside of the vehicle. The first and second directions may be opposite directions, i.e., opposite directions in the direction of the rotation axis Y1.

[0018] Alternatively, or in combination, the assembly element 3 may be configured to assemble, for example, at least one lever 2 of the assembly 100 to the bracket 1 of the vehicle's door handle 90. For example, the lever 2 of the assembly 100 may be configured to be assembled to be fixed to the bracket 1 in the translational direction.

[0019] As shown in Figure 2, the assembly element 3 comprises a head 20 and a skirt portion 40. For example, the assembly element 3 comprises a main body 10. The head 20 is located at the first end portion 3a of the assembly element 3. The head 20 may form the first end portion 3a of the assembly element 3. The assembly element 3 is configured such that when the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1, the skirt portion 40 is positioned at least partially between the bracket 1 and the lever 2, for example in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis Y1, for example between the base portion 200 of the lever 2 and the shaft portion 72 of the bracket 1, thereby allowing the lever 2 to rotate around the rotation axis Y1 relative to the skirt portion 40. The present invention, particularly the assembly element 3, makes it possible to assemble the lever 2 to the bracket 1 without using grease, or with reduced grease usage. This reduces assembly costs. The main unit 10 may be connected to the head 20. The main unit 10 may be configured to be inserted through the bracket 1.

[0020] For example, the assembly element 3 is configured to rotate around the rotation axis Y1 relative to the bracket 1, and after the main body 10 is inserted into the bracket 1, the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1. This makes it possible to assemble the lever 2 to the bracket 1 simply by inserting and rotating the assembly element 3 relative to the bracket 1.

[0021] Assembly element 3 comprises one assembly part 30. Assembly element 3 is integrally molded. For example, assembly element 3 may not be made up of multiple small parts, but may be a single part. For example, the main body 10, the skirt portion 40, and the head 20 are integrally molded. For example, the main body 10, the assembly part 30, and the head 20 are integrally molded. For example, the main body 10, the assembly part 30, the skirt portion 40, and the head 20 are integrally molded. This eliminates the need to assemble the components of assembly element 3 in preparation for attaching lever 2 to bracket 1. Similarly, it eliminates the need to assemble the components of assembly element 3 when attaching lever 2 to bracket 1. This simplifies the procedure for attaching lever 2 to bracket 1. Alternatively, assembly element 3 may consist of, for example, multiple fixed components. Assembly element 3 can be obtained by molding. Assembly parts

[0022] The assembly part 30 is located, for example, on the side of the second end 3b of the assembly element 3 opposite to the first end 3a, and forms, for example, the second end 3b. For example, the main body 10 extends between the first end 3a and the second end 3b of the assembly element 3. The main body 10 connects the head 20 and the assembly part 30. For example, the main body 10 is a single component. For example, the head 20 is a single component. For example, the assembly part 30 is a single component. For example, the main body 10 extends from the head 20 to the assembly part 30 along the assembly element axis Y2, and for example, the assembly element axis Y2 is fixed to the assembly element 3. For example, when lever 2 is assembled to bracket 1, the assembly element axis is approximately coaxial with the rotation axis Y1. This assembly element axis may have a first direction along the axis from assembly part 30 to head 20. The assembly element axis may have a second direction along the axis from the head 20 to the assembly part 30. The first and second directions are opposite directions to the direction of the assembly element axis.

[0023] The assembly part 30 has a shape configured to hold the lever 2 between the bracket 1 and the head 20, for example, in the direction of the rotation axis Y1, when the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1. The assembly part 30 can restrict the rotation of the assembly element 3 relative to the bracket 1 when the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1. This prevents the rotation of the assembly element 3 and keeps the lever 2 assembled to the bracket 1.

[0024] The assembly part 30 is configured to be inserted into the bracket 1 from the first side surface 1a of the bracket 1. As a result, when the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1, the lever 2 is positioned on the first side surface 1a of the bracket 1. Therefore, the lever 2 can be assembled on the same side as the side into which the assembly element 3 is inserted, and when inserting the assembly element 3 into the bracket 1 to assemble the lever 2, it is only necessary to operate one side of the bracket 1, rather than both sides.

[0025] When the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1, the assembly part 30 restricts the assembly element 3 from moving inward relative to the bracket 1 relative to the bracket 1, for example, in the first direction of axis Y1, when the door handle 90 is attached to the vehicle. This prevents the assembly element 3 from moving inward relative to the vehicle, for example, in the first direction of axis Y1, when the door handle 90 is attached to the vehicle, and allows the lever 2 to remain assembled to the bracket 1.

[0026] The assembly part 30 comprises at least one projection 31, for example, one projection 31, or multiple projections 31, for example, at least one projection 31, for example, each projection 31 is configured to be sandwiched between, for example, two stoppers 50 of the bracket 1 when the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1, thereby restricting the rotation of the assembly element 3 relative to the bracket 1. For example, when the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1, at least one projection 31 is prevented from rotating in two opposite directions around the rotation axis Y1 by, for example, two stoppers 50. This makes it possible to prevent the assembly element 3 from rotating and keep the lever 2 attached to the bracket 1 using only the structure of the assembly element 3 and the bracket 1, without requiring additional fasteners or adhesives. At least one projection 31 may have a first stopper surface 31a and a second stopper surface 31b. For example, the second stopper surface 31b is flat.

[0027] When at least one projection 31 is sandwiched between two stoppers 50, for example, when it is sandwiched, at least one projection 31 is blocked by the first stopper surface 31a contacting one of the two stoppers 50, for example by the first stopper surface 510 of the first stopper 51, and by the second stopper surface 31b contacting two of the two stoppers 50, for example by the second stopper surface 520.

[0028] For example, when assembling the lever 2 to the bracket, each of the multiple protrusions 31 is sandwiched between two corresponding stoppers (e.g., two stoppers 50). Alternatively, for example, when assembling the lever 2 to the bracket, only one or a specific protrusion of the multiple protrusions 31 is sandwiched between two corresponding stoppers (e.g., two stoppers 50). For example, when assembling the lever 2 to the bracket, only one of the multiple protrusions 31 is sandwiched between two corresponding stoppers (e.g., two stoppers 50). For example, each protrusion, which is configured to be held in place in this way, is assigned to two dedicated stoppers specific to that single protrusion.

[0029] Referring to Figure 4, the assembly part 30 has three protrusions 31, such as at least one protrusion 31. For example, when the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket, each of the three protrusions 31 is sandwiched between two corresponding stoppers 50, etc.

[0030] For example, the multiple protrusions 31 may be uniformly distributed around the assembly element axis, and may be distributed at a uniform angle such that the angle between two consecutive protrusions 31 around the assembly element axis is the same. For example, at least one projection 31 extends radially from the main body 10. For example, at least one projection 31 extends radially with respect to the assembly element axis Y2.

[0031] At least one projection 31 comprises a first surface 320 and a second surface 330. For example, the first surface 320 and the second surface 330 of at least one projection 31 extend from the main body 10, or for example, the first surface 320 and the second surface 330 of at least one projection 31 extend radially from the main body 10. The first surface 320 of at least one projection 31 includes a first stopper surface 31a, and the second surface 330 of at least one projection 31 includes a second stopper surface 31b.

[0032] At least one projection 31 is provided with a rounded curved surface and / or an inclined surface 310. The rounded curved surface and / or inclined surface 310 is configured to slide on the ramp 60 of the bracket 1 when the assembly element 3 rotates around the axis of rotation Y1 of the bracket 1, for example, the axis of the assembly element. This facilitates the rotation of the assembly element 3 relative to the bracket 1, for example, when assembling the lever 2 to the bracket 1. The second surface 330 is provided with a rounded curved surface and / or an inclined surface 310, which may be connected to the first surface 320, for example, the rounded curved surface and / or inclined surface 310 may be in contact with the first surface 320 and may extend continuously with the first surface 320. For example, the rounded curved surface and / or inclined surface 310 and the first surface 320 share a common edge.

[0033] For example, if the assembly element axis is approximately coaxial with the rotation axis Y1, the rotation of the assembly element 3 around the rotation axis Y1 relative to the bracket 1 causes at least one projection 31 to slide on the ramp 60 when the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1. For example, in rotation in a second direction about the rotation axis Y1, at least one projection 31 moves translationally along the rotation axis Y1, reaches the upper end of the ramp 60, and moves beyond this upper end, so that at least one projection 31 is no longer held by the ramp, and in particular, no longer in contact with the ramp 60. Then, at least one projection 31 retracts, for example, in the translational direction, along the first direction of the rotation axis Y1, until it is blocked by the second side surface 1b and / or sandwiched between the two stoppers 50.

[0034] At least one projection 31 is flexible and may be flexible enough to reach a position where it is sandwiched between two stoppers 50. For example, at least one projection 31 is configured to bend when sliding on the lamp 60 of the bracket 1 to assemble the lever 2 to the bracket 1. When the lever 2 is not assembled to the bracket 1, at least one projection 31 may exhibit its initial shape as shown in Figure 5. For example, when at least one projection 31 slides on the ramp 60 of the bracket 1 in order to assemble the lever 2 to the bracket 1, at least one projection 31 bends and loses its initial shape, for example, it deforms. For example, when at least one projection 31 is sandwiched between two stoppers 50, at least one projection 31 exhibits its initial shape. For example, when at least one projection 31 is no longer in contact with the lamp 60 of the bracket 1, the projection 31 returns to its initial shape. As a result, after at least one projection 31 returns to its initial shape, further rotation of the assembly element 3 becomes impossible, thus allowing at least one projection 31 to be fixed between the two stoppers 50 after the rotation of the transmission element 5. This prevents the lever 2 and the assembly element 3 from separating from the bracket 1 when at least one projection 31 is sandwiched between the two stoppers 50.

[0035] For example, the second surface 330 of at least one projection 31 includes a rounded curved surface and / or an inclined surface 310 and, for example, a flat surface 331. For example, the rounded curved surface and / or inclined surface 310 may extend continuously with and contact, for example, the flat surface 331. The first surface 320 may be a flat surface. For example, the flat surface 331 is parallel to the first surface 320 of at least one projection 31.

[0036] For example, the first surface 320 of at least one projection is flat, and the second surface 330 of at least one projection 31 includes a flat surface 331 and a partially rounded curved surface and / or inclined surface 310.

[0037] When the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1, the rounded curved surface and / or inclined surface 310 of at least one projection 31 contacts the second side surface 1b of the bracket 1. This prevents the assembly part 30 from moving toward the first side surface 1a of the bracket 1, and allows the lever 2 to be kept assembled to the bracket 1 solely by the structure of the assembly element 3 and the bracket 1, without requiring additional fasteners or adhesives.

[0038] At least one projection 31 may have a radial portion 340 and a contact portion 350. The contact portion 350 and the radial portion 340 may form at least one projection. The contact portion 350 and the radial portion 340 may be fixed to each other and / or integrally molded.

[0039] The radial portion 340 may extend radially from the main body 10, for example, from the axis Y2 of the assembly part. The contact portion 350 may extend from the radial portion 340, for example toward the head 20 of the assembly element 3, for example toward the bracket 1, toward the first side surface 1a and / or second side surface 1b of the bracket 1, for example parallel to the axis Y2 of the assembly part, when the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1. The contact portion 350 and the radial portion 340 extend in directions perpendicular to each other.

[0040] When the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1, at least one projection 31's contact portion 350 contacts the second side surface 1b of the bracket 1. This contact portion 350 has a rounded curved surface and / or an inclined surface 310. The contact portion 350 and the main body 10 may be separated by a gap 360.

[0041] The contact portion 350 may include a portion of the first surface 320 of at least one projection 31, a portion of the second surface 330 of at least one projection 31, and a rounded curved surface and / or inclined surface 310. The radial portion 340 may include a portion of the first surface 320 of at least one projection 31 and a portion of the second surface 330 of at least one projection 31. For example, at least one projection 31 is hook-shaped. Main unit

[0042] As shown in Figure 2, the main body 10 extends between the main body tip 10a and the main body assembly end 10b. For example, the assembly part 30 of the assembly element 3 is located at the main body assembly end 10b, and the head 20 of the assembly element 3 is located at the main body tip 10a.

[0043] When the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1, the main body 10 of the assembly element 3 may pass through the bracket 1. For example, the main body assembly end 10b protrudes from the second side surface 1b of the bracket 1. For example, the main body tip 10a protrudes from the first side surface 1a of the bracket 1. When the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1, the main body 10 passes through the opening 70 of the bracket 1.

[0044] The main body 10 is configured to rotate within the opening of the bracket 1 when the assembly element 3 rotates relative to the bracket 1 around the assembly element axis Y2. For example, the cross-sectional area of ​​the main body 10 in a plane perpendicular to the assembly element axis Y2 increases from the main body assembly end 10b toward the main body tip 10a. The main body 10 has a long, slender shape. head

[0045] When the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1, the head 20 can restrict the movement of the assembly element 3 inward relative to the bracket 1, for example, in a second direction along axis Y1, by contact between the lower surface 210 of the head 20 (for example, the peripheral lower surface described later) and the lever 2 (for example, the base 200 of the lever 2), for example, when the door handle 90 is attached to the vehicle. This prevents the assembly element 3 from moving inward towards the vehicle by maintaining the lever 2 assembled to the bracket 1 when, for example, the door handle 90 is installed on the vehicle.

[0046] The head 20 includes a peripheral portion 21. This peripheral portion 21 is configured such that when the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1, the lever 2 is at least partially positioned between the peripheral portion 21 and the bracket 1, for example, along the direction of the rotation axis Y1.

[0047] The peripheral portion 21 has, for example, a lower surface 210, i.e., a peripheral lower surface 210, and this peripheral lower surface 210 is configured such that when the lever 2 is attached to the bracket 1, the lever 2 is positioned at least partially between the peripheral lower surface 210 and the bracket 1 in the direction of the rotation axis Y1. This prevents the assembly part 30 from moving inward relative to the bracket 1, for example, in the second direction of the rotation axis Y1, when the door handle 90 is attached to the vehicle, and maintains the lever 2 attached to the bracket 1. This is possible solely through the structure of the assembly element 3 and the bracket 1, without the need for additional fasteners or adhesives. The lower peripheral surface 210 of the head may be annular.

[0048] For example, the cross-section of the peripheral portion 21 perpendicular to the assembly element axis Y2 is larger than the cross-section of the main body 10 of the assembly element 3 perpendicular to the assembly element axis Y2.

[0049] The head 20 has a recess 22 separated by its bottom wall 221 and side walls 222, the recess 22 extending away from the bottom wall 221 in a direction away from the main body 10 and / or assembly part 30. For example, the recess 22 opens through the top surface 211 of the head 20. The top surface 211 may be oriented away from the main body 10 and / or assembly part 30. For example, the bottom wall 221 and the side walls 222 are connected.

[0050] The bottom wall 221 may be connected to the main body 10 of the assembly element 3, more specifically to the end of the head 20 of the main body 10. For example, the bottom wall 221 is connected to the main body 10 so that the head 20 and the main body 10 are fixed to each other and form, for example, a single part. For example, when the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1, the recess 22 is configured such that its bottom wall 221 and side walls 222 penetrate, for example, the shaft portion 72 of the bracket 1, and are inserted into the bracket 1 at least partially.

[0051] The head 20 may be shaped to receive a tool; for example, the head 20 may have a shape complementary to the tool. The tool may be operated manually. For example, when assembling the lever 2 on the bracket 1 to the assembly element 3, the tool is received by the head 20, and the rotation of the tool is transmitted to the assembly element 3, causing the assembly element 3 to rotate. For example, the tool is received by a recess 22. The tool may be removable from the head 20. Alternatively, the tool may be fixed to the head 20. The tool may be a standard tool, such as a standard screwdriver.

[0052] The peripheral portion 21 may extend from the side wall 222 in a radial and / or perpendicular direction with respect to the assembly element axis Y2. The peripheral portion 21 may have an upper surface 211. For example, the upper surface 211 may face away from the main body 10 and / or assembly part 30. This upper surface 211 may be connected to a side wall 222, and may be arranged, for example, to surround the side wall 222.

[0053] For example, the upper surface 211 of the peripheral portion 21 has a circular shape, and the lower surface 210 of the peripheral portion 21 also has a circular shape. For example, the upper surface 211 and the lower surface 210 are parallel. For example, when the lever 2 is attached to the bracket 1, for example, to the base 200 of the lever 2, the lower surface 210 comes into contact with the lever 2.

[0054] When lever 2 is attached to bracket 1, lever 2 is blocked by contact with the lower surface 210 of peripheral portion 21, and therefore cannot move away from bracket 1.

[0055] The bottom wall 221 is provided with at least one bottom opening 220. For example, the bottom wall 221 may be provided with three bottom openings 220. Skirt part

[0056] The skirt portion 40 extends, for example, from the lower peripheral surface 210 of the peripheral portion 21 of the head 20, in a direction parallel to the main body 10, for example, in a direction defined by axis Y2, for example, in a second direction of axis Y2. For example, when the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1, the skirt portion 40 extends toward the bracket 1, for example, around the shaft portion 72 of the bracket 1, and extends into the base portion 200 of the lever 2. For example, the skirt portion 40 is hollow. For example, the skirt portion 40 is a single part.

[0057] The skirt portion 40 surrounds, for example, at least a part of the main body 10 of the assembly element 3, but does not surround, for example, the assembly part 30. For example, when the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1, the skirt portion 40 surrounds at least a part of the shaft portion 72 of the bracket 1, for example, the skirt portion 40 extends in the same direction as the shaft portion 72 of the bracket 1, and the shaft portion 72 and the skirt portion 40 extend in opposite directions, for example, and for example, the skirt portion 40 contacts the shaft portion 72 of the bracket 1. When the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1, the skirt portion 40 surrounds at least a part of the base portion 200 of the lever 2, for example, the skirt portion 40 contacts the base portion 200 of the lever 2.

[0058] For example, the skirt portion 40 is provided with a peripheral wall 41. This peripheral wall 41 may have an outer surface 41a and an inner surface 41b. The outer surface 41a may face away from the main body 10 of the assembly element 3. The inner surface 41b may face the main body 10 of the assembly element 3.

[0059] The peripheral wall 41 is configured such that when the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1, the outer surface 41a of the peripheral wall 41 faces the lever 2, and the inner surface 41b of the skirt portion 40 faces the bracket 1, for example, the shaft portion 72 of the bracket. For example, the outer surface 41a of the skirt portion 40 may be in contact with the lever 2, and the inner surface 41b of the skirt portion 40 may be in contact with the bracket 1. For example, the outer surface 41a of the skirt portion 40 may be in contact with the base 200 of the lever 2, and the inner surface 41b may be in contact with the shaft portion 72 of the bracket 1.

[0060] The outer surface 41a of the skirt portion 40 is configured to allow the lever 2 to rotate relative to the bracket 1 without the need to apply grease between the lever 2 and the skirt portion 40 when the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1. For example, the outer surface 41a, for example the skirt portion 40, for example the assembly element 3, is made of a material configured to reduce the coefficient of friction of the outer surface 41a. For example, the outer surface 41a (e.g., the skirt portion 40, e.g., the assembly element 3) is made of plastic, for example, polyoxymethylene (so-called POM). For example, the outer surface 41a of the skirt portion 40 is treated to reduce the coefficient of friction, and the coefficient of friction is reduced if, for example, the outer surface 41a, for example the skirt portion 40, for example the assembly element 3 is made of a metallic material, for example metal. The process of reducing the coefficient of friction of the outer surface 41a helps to smooth the rotation of the skirt portion 40 of the lever 2, for example, making the rotation of the lever 2 smoother. Bracket 1 and / or lever 2, or lever 2 described later, are made of plastic and / or glass fiber, and may be made of plastic and glass fiber, for example. By reducing friction from the outer surface 41a in this way, wear of the bracket and / or lever can be suppressed, and this effect is particularly noticeable when they are made of materials that are prone to friction.

[0061] For example, when the lever 2 is attached to the bracket 1, the outer surface 41a of the skirt portion 40 may be in contact with the inner surface 200b of the base portion 200 of the lever 2. For example, when the lever 2 is attached to the bracket 1 and the lever 2 is rotating relative to the bracket 1, the inner surface 200b of the base portion 200 may be in contact with the outer surface 41a of the skirt portion 40 while moving relative to the outer surface 41a of the skirt portion 40.

[0062] The inner surface 200b of the base 200 is treated, for example, to reduce the coefficient of friction. This treatment of the inner surface 200b to reduce the coefficient of friction helps to smooth the rotation of the lever 2 around the skirt portion 40, for example, and reduces friction between the lever 2 and the skirt portion 40, for example, eliminating the need to apply grease between the lever 2 and the skirt portion 40, or requiring only a small amount of grease. For example, the skirt portion 40 is tubular in shape. For example, the base portion 200 is tubular in shape. bracket

[0063] The bracket 1 of the vehicle's door handle 90 will be described with reference to Figures 9a to 11b. The bracket 1 may be configured to be assembled to at least one lever 2 using an assembly element 3. The bracket 1 has at least one opening, for example, an opening 70, and is configured so that when the bracket 1 is assembled to the lever 2, the body 10 of the assembly element 3 is inserted through the opening 70 of the bracket 1.

[0064] For example, as shown in Figures 9a and 9b, the bracket 1 has two openings 70, and is configured to be assembled into two levers 2 using two assembly elements 3. For example, each lever of the two levers 2 is assembled into one of the two openings 70 using one of the two assembly elements 3. The bracket may have one main wall 75. This main wall 75 has a first side surface 1a and a second side surface 1b. The opening 70 may penetrate the main wall 75.

[0065] Bracket 1 is provided with, for example, one or more openings of the opening 70, or with respect to each opening, a shaft portion 72. The shaft portion 72 extends, for example, in the direction of the rotation axis Y1. This shaft portion 72 is hollow and extends, for example, around the body 10 and / or head 20 of the assembly element 3 when the lever 2 is assembled to bracket 1.

[0066] The shaft portion 72 extends at least partially from the main wall 75, for example, from the first side surface 1a of the bracket 1. For example, the shaft portion 72 includes a shaft wall 721 that extends from the main wall 75, for example, from the first side surface 1a of the bracket 1.

[0067] The shaft portion 72 may include a first projection corresponding to a portion separated by, for example, the shaft wall 721. The shaft portion 72 may also include a second internal portion extending into the main wall 75. The first projection and the second internal portion may be defined along the rotation axis Y1. The shaft portion 72 has an outer surface 72a and an inner surface 72b. When the bracket 1 is assembled to the lever 2, the outer surface 72a of the shaft portion 72 may face away from the main body 10 of the assembly element 3, or the inner surface 72b of the shaft portion 72 may face towards the main body 10 of the assembly element 3. The outer surface 72a is, for example, the outer surface of the shaft wall 721. The shaft portion 72 of the bracket 1 is configured to support the assembly element 3, for example, the skirt portion 40 of the assembly element 3.

[0068] Bracket 1 may have at least two stoppers, for example, multiple stoppers. These multiple stoppers include, for example, a stopper 50 corresponding to one of the two stoppers 50, and these stoppers are configured to grip at least one projection 31 of assembly element 3. For example, as shown in Figure 10, the multiple stoppers of the bracket 1 consist of six stoppers 50 organized into pairs of stoppers 50, such as the two stoppers 50 described above, or for example, three sets of stoppers. At least two stoppers 50 may be positioned on the second side surface 1b of the bracket 1, for example, around the opening 70 of the bracket 1, or in contact with the opening 70. Each of the at least two stoppers 50 may form a projection on the main wall 75 of the bracket 1.

[0069] At least two stoppers 50 include a first stopper 51 and a second stopper 52. The first stopper 51 may include a ramp 60. The first stopper 51 may include a side wall 512. The side wall 512 of the first stopper 51 may extend from the main wall 75, for example, from the second side surface 1b of the bracket 1, for example, in the direction of the rotation axis Y1. The side wall 512 of the first stopper 51 connects the main wall 75 to the ramp 60 of the second stopper 52. The ramp 60 is, for example, rounded, curved and / or inclined, or inclined. The side wall 512 of the first stopper 51 may have a first stopper surface 510.

[0070] The second stopper 52 comprises an upper wall 521 and a side wall 522. The side wall 522 of the second stopper 52 extends from the main wall 75, for example, from the second side surface 1b of the bracket 1, for example, in the direction of the rotation axis Y1. The side wall 522 of the second stopper 52 connects the main wall 75 and the upper wall 521 of the second stopper 52. The upper wall 521 of the second stopper 52 may be parallel to the main wall 75. The side wall 522 of the second stopper 52 may have a second stopper surface 520.

[0071] For example, if at least one projection 31 is sandwiched between two stoppers 50, at least one projection 31 is blocked by the first stopper surface 31a of at least one projection 31 contacting the side wall 512 (e.g., first stopper surface 510) of the first stopper 51, and by the second stopper surface 31b of at least one projection 31 contacting the side wall 522 (e.g., second stopper surface 520) of the second stopper 52. When at least one projection 31 is sandwiched between two stoppers 50, at least one projection 31 is blocked by the second surface 330 of at least one projection 31 contacting the side wall 522 (e.g., the second stopper surface 520) of the second stopper 52. When at least one projection 31 is sandwiched between two stoppers 50, at least one projection 31 is blocked by the first surface 320 of at least one projection 31 contacting the side wall 512 of the first stopper 51, for example, the first stopper surface 510.

[0072] The first stopper 51 and the second stopper 52 are spaced apart, forming a space 53. For example, this space 53 is formed by the side wall 512 of the first stopper 51, the side wall 522 of the second stopper 52, and the main wall 75. For example, if at least one projection 31 is sandwiched between the two stoppers 50, this at least one projection 31 is located within the space 53.

[0073] The side wall 522 of the second stopper 52 extends further from the main wall 75 than the side wall 512 of the first stopper 51. This allows at least one projection 31 to be blocked when at least one projection 31 is sandwiched between the two stoppers 50, by the plane 331 of at least one projection 31 contacting the side wall 512 of the first stopper 51.

[0074] Bracket 1, for example, shaft portion 72, for example each shaft portion 72 comprises at least one slide 71, for example one or more slides 71. This slide 71 may extend into the opening 70. At least one slide 71 is located, for example, on the inner surface 72b of the shaft portion 72, for example extending inward of the shaft portion 72, for example extending from the first side surface 1a in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation Y1.

[0075] At least one slide 71 may be configured to guide the assembly part 30 through the bracket 1, for example, through a projection 31 or a plurality of projections 31, when the assembly element 3 is inserted into the shaft portion 72. For example, for each projection 31 of the assembly element 3, the bracket 1 (e.g., the shaft portion 72) has a corresponding slide 71 configured to guide the projection 31 or a plurality of projections 31 of the assembly element 3 when the assembly element 3 is inserted into the shaft portion 72. For example, the bracket 1 (e.g., the shaft portion 72) has three slides 71 corresponding to three projections 31 of the assembly element 3, and is configured to guide the three projections 31 of the assembly element 3 when the assembly element 3 is inserted into the shaft portion 72.

[0076] Each slide 71, for example, comprises a pair of slide walls 73. These slide walls 73 extend from an inner surface 72b, for example, a shaft wall 721, to, for example, a tip, for example, a rounded tip. The corresponding pair of slide walls 73 may be parallel. These slide walls 73 may extend from a main wall 75. For example, the shaft portion 72 may extend higher from the main wall than the slide walls 73. The slide walls 73 may be connected to another pair of slide walls 73 by a connecting portion 751. The connecting portion 751 may be, for example, part of the main wall 75 and may extend continuously with an adjacent region of the main wall 75.

[0077] Each slide 71, for example, may have a recess 722. This recess 722 may extend into the axial wall 721 and / or into the main wall 75 of the bracket. The corresponding pair of slide walls 73 may extend on both sides of the recess 722.

[0078] As shown in Figure 11a, the opening 70 may be star-shaped. For example, the opening 70 may have a central, for example, circular opening 70a from which at least one arm opening 70b extends, for example, radially with respect to the axis of rotation Y1, forming a corresponding slide 71. For example, the opening 70 may have three arm openings 70b extending from the central opening 70a, which correspond to three slides 71.

[0079] The central opening 70a is configured to allow the main body 10 of the assembly element 3 to be inserted into the bracket 1, for example, through the main wall 75. For example, at least one arm opening 70b is configured to allow at least one projection 31 of the assembly element 3 to be inserted into the bracket 1, for example, through the main wall 75. For example, as shown in Figures 11a and 11b, the shaft portion 72 may comprise three slides 71, each separated by two slide walls 73. assembly

[0080] For example, in an assembly 100 for a door handle, the assembly element 3 and the bracket 1 are configured such that the assembly part 30 and the head 20 restrict the translation of the assembly element 3, for example, the lever 2, in any direction relative to the bracket 1. For example, in assembly 100, the lever can only rotate around the rotation axis Y1 and cannot translate in any direction relative to the bracket 1. For example, in an assembly 100 for a door handle, the assembly element 3 and the bracket 1 may be configured such that, for example, the assembly part 30 restricts the rotation of the assembly element 3 relative to the bracket 1, with the assembly element 3 as the center.

[0081] For example, in an assembly 100 for a door handle, the assembly element 3 and the lever 2 may be configured such that the assembly element 3 allows and guides the rotation of the lever 2 relative to the bracket 1, for example, the rotation of the lever 2 relative to the assembly element 3, for example, the rotation of the lever 2 around the rotation axis Y1.

[0082] For example, in an assembly 100 for a door handle, the assembly element 3 is supported on a bracket 1, for example, on a shaft portion 72 of the bracket 1. For example, the assembly element 3 is supported by the bracket 1 through contact between the shaft portion 72 of the bracket 1 and the skirt portion 40 of the assembly element 3.

[0083] For example, in an assembly 100 for a door handle, the lever 2 is mounted so as to surround the skirt portion 40 of the assembly element 3. For example, the lever 2 is supported on a bracket 1, and is supported on a shaft portion 72 of the bracket 1. For example, in the assembly 100 for a door handle, the head 20 of the assembly is partially inserted into the shaft portion 72, and in particular, the bottom wall 221 and side walls 222 of the head 20 are partially inserted into the shaft portion 72.

[0084] For example, in the assembly 100 for a door handle, the main body 10 of the assembly element 3 passes through the opening of the protrusion on the second side surface 1b of the bracket 1. For example, in the door handle assembly 100, at least one projection 31 of the assembly part 30 is sandwiched between the two stoppers 50 of the bracket 1. The assembly element 3 and the lever 2 are configured such that when the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1, the lever 2 rotates smoothly relative to the assembly element and / or rotates without reducing the friction generated between the lever 2 and the skirt portion 40. The assembly element 3 and the lever 2 are configured such that when the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1, the lever 2 rotates smoothly relative to the assembly element without reducing the friction between the lever 2 and the skirt portion 40, and / or without the need to add grease between the lever 2 and the skirt portion 40, and / or with only a small amount of grease added between the lever 2 and the skirt portion 40. For example, the skirt portion 40 and the lever 2 are configured such that the coefficient of friction between the contacting surfaces is reduced, for example, a low coefficient of friction. Door handle

[0085] The following describes a vehicle door handle. The door handle 90 comprises, for example, an assembly 100 for a door handle in which a lever 2 is assembled to a bracket 1 by an assembly element 3. Vehicle doors and vehicles

[0086] Next, the vehicle door will be described. The vehicle door is equipped with a door handle 90. The vehicle door is equipped with a vehicle door panel. The handle 90 may be attached to another part of the vehicle door, for example, the vehicle door panel. The vehicle door is, for example, a front door, a side door, or a rear door.

[0087] Next, the vehicle will be described. The vehicle is equipped with one or more of the above-mentioned vehicle doors. Assembly method

[0088] Referring to Figure 13, an embodiment of a method for assembling the lever 2 to the bracket 1 of the door handle 90 is shown. This assembly method includes one or more of the following steps: A method for assembling the lever 2 to the bracket 1 of the door handle 90 includes a first step 910 of positioning the lever 2 on the bracket 1. In this first step 910, the lever 2 is positioned on the first side surface 1a of the bracket 1, for example, such that the lever 2 surrounds the shaft portion 72 of the bracket 1, for example, such that the base portion 200 surrounds the shaft portion 72.

[0089] This lever 2 can be positioned on the bracket 1 using a tool or by manual operation by an operator. At the end of the first step 910, the lever 2 is positioned to surround the shaft portion 72 and is in a state where it can rotate and translate in all directions relative to the bracket 1.

[0090] This assembly method includes, for example, a second step 920 following the first step 910, in which the assembly element 3 is at least partially inserted into the bracket 1. Methods such as moving the assembly element can be carried out using tools or by manual operation by an operator.

[0091] This assembly method includes a first substep 922 of the second step 920, in which the assembly part 30 is inserted into the shaft portion 72 of the bracket 1. In the first substep 922 of the second step 920, at least one projection 31 is guided by at least one slide 71 (for example, one or more slides 71 as described above) and moves until at least one projection 31 reaches the second side surface 1b of the bracket 1.

[0092] This assembly method includes a second substep 924 following a first substep 922 of the second step 920, in which the assembly part 30 passes through the opening 70 from, for example, the first side surface 1a of the bracket 1 and reaches, for example, the second side surface 1b. For example, in the second substep 924 of the second step 920, the assembly part 30 passes through the opening 70 of the bracket 1 and the assembly part 30 protrudes from the second side surface 1b of the bracket 1.

[0093] In this assembly method, for example, in the second step 920, the head 20 approaches the lever 2 and moves until it contacts the lever 2, for example, the base 200 of the lever 2. For example, in the second step 920, the skirt portion 40 approaches the bracket 1 and moves in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis Y1, for example, between the base portion 200 of the lever 2 and the shaft portion 72 of the bracket 1 until it is at least partially inserted.

[0094] For example, in the second step 920, the assembly element 3 is pushed only from the first side 1a of the bracket 1 toward the bracket 1 and inserted through the bracket 1.

[0095] At the end of the second step 920, the assembly part 30 may have completely extended beyond the second side surface 1b of the bracket 1, for example, at least one projection 31 may have completely extended beyond the second side surface 1b of the bracket 1, for example, it may be resting on the second side surface 1b of the bracket 1. At the end of the second step 920, the head 20 may be in contact with the lever 2, for example, the peripheral lower surface 210 may be in contact with the lever 2, for example, the base 200 of the lever. At the end of the second step 920, the body 10 may be positioned so that it is at least partially penetrating the bracket 1. At the end of the second step 920, the skirt portion 40 may be positioned at least partially between the bracket 1 and the lever 2, for example, between the base 200 of the lever 2 and the shaft portion 72 of the bracket 1. This allows the lever 2 to rotate about the rotation axis Y1 with the skirt portion 40 as the center. It is not necessary to apply grease to lever 2, bracket 1, or assembly element 3 in order to allow lever 2 to rotate around bracket 1.

[0096] A method for assembling the lever 2 to the bracket 1 of the door handle 90 includes, for example, a third step 930 following a second step 920. In this third step 930, the assembly element 3 is rotated while positioned via, for example, the bracket 1. In the third step 930, the assembly element 3 is rotated about the rotation axis Y1, or for example, about the assembly element axis Y2. The assembly element 3 can be rotated using a tool or manually by an operator.

[0097] This assembly method includes a first substep 932 of the third step 930, in which the assembly element 3 is rotated so that at least one projection 31 slides on the ramp 60. For example, it is rotated until at least one projection 31 reaches the upper end of the ramp 60 and goes beyond the upper end so that at least one projection 31 is no longer held by the ramp and in particular no longer in contact with the ramp 60. In the first substep 932 of the third step 930, at least one projection 31 is deformed from its initial shape to a distorted shape, for example, by bending.

[0098] This assembly method includes, for example, a second substep 934 following a first substep 932 of the third step 930, in which at least the projection 31 moves translationally along, for example, a first direction of axis Y1 until it is blocked by the second side surface 1b or is sandwiched between the two stoppers 50 of the bracket 1. In the second substep 934 of the third step 930, at least the projection 31 returns to its initial shape, for example, from a distorted shape.

[0099] At the end of the third step 930, for example at the end of the second substep 934 of the third step 930, at least one projection 31 is sandwiched between two stoppers 50 located, for example, in the space 53. At the end of the third step 930, for example at the end of the second substep 934 of the third step 930, the lever 2 is assembled to the bracket 1, and for example, the lever 2 is held between the head 20 of the assembly element 3 and the bracket 1.

[0100] This method of assembling the lever 2 to the bracket 1 of the door handle 90 allows the lever 2 to be assembled to the bracket 1 using a single fastener, such as the assembly element 3, thereby reducing the number of assembly steps.

[0101] This method of assembling the lever 2 to the bracket 1 of the door handle 90 eliminates the need to rotate the lever 2 when assembling it to the bracket 1; only the assembly element 3 needs to be rotated. Therefore, the structural constraints on the bracket 1 that would otherwise prevent the lever 2 from colliding with the bracket 1 when the lever 2 is rotated are reduced. As a result, assembly can be easily performed even in limited spaces.

[0102] This method of assembling the lever 2 to the bracket 1 of the door handle 90 allows the lever 2 to be assembled to the bracket 1 by accessing only one side of the bracket 1, for example, the first side 1a of the bracket 1. This eliminates the need to access both sides of the bracket 1 when assembling the lever 2 to the bracket 1. For example, assembly becomes easier and time is saved. The present invention's method for assembling the lever 2 to the bracket 1 of the door handle 90 eliminates the need to apply grease between the bracket 1 and the lever 2, reducing the assembly process by one step and lowering assembly costs.
