Patent ID: 7556296

Claim:
A vehicle door handle comprising: a lever-shaped handle main body arranged at a predetermined position of an exterior of a vehicle door, and operated when the door is opened or closed; and a base member for attaching the handle main body to the vehicle door, wherein the handle main body is supported by the base member to be rotatable in a predetermined range, the handle main body having one end serving as a spindle and the other end serving as a free end, a hook on the free end of the main handle body protruding toward the base member in a longitudinal direction of the handle main body a handle stopper formed on a tip end of the hook that abuts on the base member, which restricts a rotation range of the handle main body, thereby setting an operated position and a non-operated position of the handle main body, the handle stopper having a sufficient thickness that prevents rattle of the handle main body in a direction away from the predetermined rotational range, and an insertion hole that the handle hook and the handle stopper are inserted into, a pair of guide walls adjacent to both side surfaces of the handle stopper, respectively, at the non-operated position of the handle main body, protruding from opening edges of the insertion holes, and having inner surfaces facing each other approximately parallel to each other, and a stopper engagement portion formed on the base member capable of locking the handle main body at the operated position when the handle is rotated from the base member, so as not to allow any further rotation, a connection portion formed integrally with the pair of guide walls, connecting each wall at a position where it is entirely not in contact with the tip end of the handle stopper when the handle main body is in the non operated position, wherein the pair of guide walls is arranged to face each side of the handle hook and each side of the handle stopper, and wherein the stopper engagement portion, the pair of guide walls and the connecting portion will reduce rattle that occurs when the handle main body is moved between the operated and non-operated position and ensure stability of the handle through the movement of it between the operated and non-operated position.
