Abstract

A handle device for a vehicle includes a handle base fixed to a vehicle, and a handle main body connected to the handle base and configured to be able to be pulled out from an initial position. The handle base is provided with an adjustment portion. The adjustment portion is configured to be operable by being exposed to outside when the handle main body is pulled out from the initial position, and to adjust a position of the handle main body at the initial position.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A handle device for a vehicle comprising:
a handle base to be fixed to a vehicle; and a handle main body connected to the handle base and configured to be able to be pulled out from an initial position, wherein the handle base is provided with an adjustment portion, wherein the adjustment portion is configured to be operable when exposed to an outside of the vehicle when the handle main body is pulled out from the initial position to adjust a position of the handle main body at the initial position, wherein the handle main body and the handle base together form a link mechanism having a fixed link and a plurality of movable links, wherein the adjustment portion includes an adjuster configured to abut against any one of the plurality of movable links, and to determine a stroke end of any one of the plurality of movable links, wherein the adjuster is mounted for rotation around an attachment shaft, and wherein the adjuster has a cam shape in which a distance between the attachment shaft and a surface of an outer peripheral wall of the adjuster differs along a peripheral direction of the adjuster.

2 . The handle device for a vehicle according to claim 1 ,
wherein the handle base is the fixed link, wherein the handle main body is one of the plurality of movable links, wherein the stroke end of the any one of the plurality of movable links corresponds to a position where the any one of the plurality of movable links is positioned when the handle main body is at the initial position.

3 . The handle device for a vehicle according to claim 2 ,
wherein the adjuster is formed of a material having an impact absorption capacity.

4 . A handle device for a vehicle according to claim 2 , comprising:
a handle base to be fixed to a vehicle; and a handle main body connected to the handle base and configured to be able to be pulled out from an initial position, wherein the handle base is provided with an adjustment portion, wherein the adjustment portion is configured to be operable when exposed to an outside of the vehicle when the handle main body is pulled out from the initial position, to adjust a position of the handle main body at the initial position, wherein the handle main body and the handle base together form a link mechanism having a fixed link and a plurality of movable links, wherein the handle base is the fixed link, wherein the handle main body is one of the plurality of movable links, wherein the adjustment portion includes an adjuster, wherein the adjuster is configured to abut against any one of the plurality of movable links, and to determine a stroke end of any one of the plurality of movable links corresponding to a position where any one of the plurality of movable links is positioned when the handle main body is at the initial position, wherein the adjuster is capable of vertical rotation operation around an attachment shaft extending parallel to a door surface, and wherein the adjuster is formed in a cam shape in which a distance between the attachment shaft and a surface of an outer peripheral wall of the adjuster differs along a peripheral direction of the adjuster.

5 . The handle device for a vehicle according to claim 4 ,
wherein the adjustment portion further includes a holding portion including a columnar head portion and a connecting portion, wherein the attachment shaft extends on a center axis of the columnar head portion and protrudes from the columnar head portion, wherein the connecting portion projects from the columnar head portion and is connected to the handle base, wherein the adjuster is coupled to the attachment shaft, wherein an inner peripheral surface of the adjuster is supported on a surface of the columnar head portion, wherein the inner peripheral surface of the adjuster is slidable on the surface of the columnar head portion, wherein a concave portion for click is formed on one of the surface of the columnar head portion and the inner peripheral surface of the adjuster and a convex portion for click is formed on the other of the surface of the columnar head portion and the inner peripheral surface of the adjuster, and wherein the concave portion for click and the convex portion for click are configured to be fitted to each other so that the adjuster is capable of being restrictively stopped at any rotation angle.
