Claims
- 1. An inside door handle assembly for a vehicle comprising:
- a base adapted to be fixedly secured to a door of a vehicle and having at least three spaced upright walls;
- a handle rotatably retained by the first upright wall and the second upright wall of the base, the second upright wall being positioned between the first upright wall and the third upright wall;
- a knob freely rotatably retained by at least the third upright wall of the base, and
- a spring arranged to be held at one end on the handle and at the other end on one of the upright walls;
- the first and second upright walls having-first and second projections integral therewith, respectively which laterally protrude toward the third upright wall of the base and are rotatably fitted in through-holes formed on opposed mounting walls of the handle by sliding the handle in an axial direction, the third upright wall having a third projection which fits in a through-hole formed on a mounting wall of the knob, and the top of the second upright wall being covered with the handle, the second upright wall being positioned between the opposed mounting walls of the handle, the knob being in abutment with the second projection of the second upright wall of the base to prevent lateral movement of the handle off of the first and second projections.
- 2. An inside door handle assembly for a vehicle comprising:
- a base adapted to be fixedly secured to a door of a vehicle and having at least three spaced upright walls;
- a handle rotatably retained by the first upright wall and the second upright wall of the base;
- a knob freely rotatably retained by the second and third upright walls of the base;
- a spring arranged to be held at one end on the handle and at the other end on one of the upright walls;
- the first and second upright walls having first and second projections which are fitted in through-holes formed on opposed mounting walls of the handle, the knob having means for preventing lateral movement of the handle off of the first and second projections;
- the second and third upright walls having third and fourth projections which fitted in through-holes formed on opposed mounting walls of the knob, the third projection having parallel flat side surfaces, and the through-hole formed on one of the opposed mounting walls of the knob having an opening thereon wherein the third projection is inserted into the through-hole of the knob through the opening, the width of the opening being smaller than the distance between the parallel flat side surfaces of the third projection.
- 3. An inside door handle assembly for a vehicle comprising:
- a base adapted to be fixedly secured to a door of a vehicle and having at least three spaced upright walls;
- a handle rotatably retained by the first upright wall and the second upright wall of the base;
- a knob freely rotatably retained by at least the third upright wall of the base;
- a spring arranged to be held at one end on the handle and at the other end on one of the upright walls;
- the first and second upright walls having first and second projections, respectively, which laterally protrude toward the third upright wall of the base and fit in through-holes formed on opposed mounting walls of the handle, the knob being in abutment with the second projection to prevent lateral movement of the handle off of the first and second projections;
- the third upright wall having a third projection which fits in a through-hole formed on a mounting wall of the knob, said third projection having parallel flat side surfaces, and the through-hole formed on the mounting wall of the knob being opened through a cut-out portion to allow the third projection to be inserted into the through-hole of the knob through the cut-out portion; and
- the top of the second upright wall being covered with the handle.
- 4. An inside door handle assembly according to claim 3, wherein the wall defining the through-hole having the cut-out portion is deformable.
- 5. An inside door handle assembly according to claim 4, wherein the dimension between the parallel flat side surfaces of the third projection is larger than the dimension in the width of the cut-out portion.
