Abstract

The invention relates to a motor vehicle door handle arrangement having a closing cylinder for actuating a door lock by means of a key, wherein the closing cylinder is fixed in its installation position by means of a securing element displaceable relative to the closing cylinder from a pre-mounting position into a mounting position, wherein the securing element is displaced from the pre-mounting position into the mounting position by means of at least one actuation screw engaging in a thread in the securing element.

First claim

1 . A motor vehicle door handle arrangement comprising a closing cylinder for actuating a door lock by means of a key, wherein the closing cylinder is fixed in its installation position by means of a securing element displaceable relative to the closing cylinder from a pre-mounting position into a mounting position, wherein the securing element is displaced from the pre-mounting position into the mounting position by means of at least one actuation screw engaging in a thread in the securing element, wherein the actuation screw can be brought into a transport position in which it is arranged on a carrier of the motor vehicle door handle arrangement in an non-detachable manner and from which the actuation screw can be displaced into a pre-mounting position.

2 . The motor vehicle door handle arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the actuation screw in the transport position engages in the thread in the securing element and can be displaced into the pre-mounting position by actuating the actuation screw.

3 . The motor vehicle door handle arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the actuation screw in the transport position does not engage in the thread in the securing element and can be displaced into the pre-mounting position by axially displacing the actuation screw.

4 . The motor vehicle door handle arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the actuation screw in its transport position rests against at least one or more stop faces on the carrier radially with at least a partial section of the periphery.

5 . The motor vehicle door handle arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the actuation screw in its transport position rests against a stop face on the carrier axially counter to its screw-in direction or axially in its screw-in direction.

6 . The motor vehicle door handle arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein it is inserted into the motor vehicle door handle arrangement with the actuation screw pre-mounted and engaging in the thread in the securing element, wherein the head of the actuation screw can be introduced into an installation space by means of a recess and can be displaced subsequently into the transport position by actuating the actuation screw and/or by axially displacing the actuation screw.

7 . The motor vehicle door handle arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein actuation screw in the pre-mounting position and/or the mounting position is supported on a resting face of a carrier of the motor vehicle door handle arrangement in direction toward the securing element and the securing element comprises at least one stop nose, on which the actuation screw rests in the mounting position axially in its screw-in direction.

8 . The motor vehicle door handle arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the stop nose of the securing element is configured such that in the mounting position a contacting occurs between the actuation screw and the stop nose at the securing element without that a planar pressing occurs between the securing element and the carrier of the motor vehicle door handle arrangement.

9 . The motor vehicle door handle arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the securing element is formed by a particularly U-shaped bracket which engages around the closing cylinder and secures the closing cylinder in the mounting position particularly in the radial direction.

10 . The motor vehicle door handle arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the securing element is displaced at angle of 45° to 90° relative to the axis of the closing cylinder from the pre-mounting position into the mounting position.

11 . The motor vehicle door handle arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the closing cylinder rests in a cylinder housing in the motor vehicle door handle arrangement in a form-fit manner in the installation position.

12 . The motor vehicle door handle arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the securing element engages around the closing cylinder in a form-fit manner in the mounting position.

13 . A motor vehicle door handle arrangement comprising a closing cylinder for actuating a door lock by a key, wherein the closing cylinder is fixed in its installation position by a securing element displaceable relative to the closing cylinder from a pre-mounting position into a mounting position, wherein the securing element is displaced from the pre-mounting position into the mounting position by at least one actuation screw engaging in a thread in the securing element wherein the actuation screw can be brought into a transport position in which it is arranged on a carrier of the motor vehicle door handle arrangement in an non-detachable manner and from which the actuation screw can be displaced into a pre-mounting position.
