Abstract:
1. A vehicle door handle device for mounting to a vehicle door panel having front and rear surfaces, the vehicle door handle device comprising: a base member fixable to the rear surface of the door panel and a grip member arranged on the base member from the front surface of the door panel so that the grip member is supported on the base member in a tiltable manner, a pivot shaft arranged on the grip member; a shaft supporting member having a shaft supporting recess for supporting the pivot shaft in a pivotal manner with respect to the base member; and a fastening mechanism, the fastening mechanism joining the base member and the shaft supporting member together in a vicinity of the shaft supporting recess, the fastening mechanism configured to be movable to a first position and a second position, the fastening mechanism when moved toward the first position engages the shaft supporting member to move the shaft supporting member away from the base member to create a space between the shaft supporting member and the base member through which space the pivot shaft passes to enter and leave the shaft supporting recess, and the fastening mechanism when moved toward the second position engages the shaft supporting member to move the shaft supporting member to cover the shaft supporting recess and close the space between the shaft supporting member and the base member to prevent the pivot shaft from leaving the shaft supporting recess, wherein the shaft supporting member restricts movement of the pivot shaft in a longitudinal direction of the grip member with respect to the base member when the fastening mechanism is in the second position.
