Abstract

A handle device for a vehicle in which an operating member linked to a base fixed to a door of a vehicle to be rotatably operable is operated so as to displace an output portion and operate a door lock device in the door linked to the output portion. A displacement amount in the output portion per unit operation angle of the operating member changes according to a rotation position of the operating member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A handle device for a vehicle in which an operating member linked to a base fixed to a door of a vehicle to be rotatably operable is operated so as to displace an output portion and operate a door lock device in the door linked to the output portion,
wherein a displacement amount in the output portion per unit operation angle of the operating member changes according to a rotation position of the operating member.

2 . The handle device for the vehicle according to claim 1 ,
wherein the displacement amount in the output portion per unit operation angle of the operating member is large at an initial state of a handle operation and is small in a vicinity of a lock releasing operation position of the door lock device.

3 . The handle device for the vehicle according to claim 1 ,
wherein the output portion includes
a cam body including a cam portion which is linked to the base, driven to rotate by the operating member, and for determining a rotation angle of the operating member and a property of displacement of the output portion, and
a follower body driven by the cam portion, and
wherein the door lock device is operated by the displacement of the follower body.

4 . The handle device for the vehicle according to claim 3 ,
wherein the cam body having a shape of a plate lever includes a long hole which is opened and in which a distance from a rotation center of the cam body gradually changes, and the follower body includes a follower pin which moves in the long hole.

5 . The handle device for the vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a handle unit which links the operating member and the base to each other in advance and is fixed to a front surface of the door; a unit base which is fixed to a rear surface of the door panel; and an output portion unit which holds the output portion to the unit base and is fixed to the rear surface of the door panel.

6 . The handle device for the vehicle according to claim 5 ,
wherein a lever which swings in accordance with the operation of the operating member and in which a linked portion is oriented toward the inside of the door, is disposed in the handle unit, and wherein a linking portion which is linked to the linked portion of the lever and transmits an operating force toward the operating member to the output portion when being fixed to the rear surface of the door panel, is provided with the output portion unit.

7 . A handle device for a vehicle which is fixed to a door of a vehicle, and remotely operates a door latch device which performs a latch releasing operation by an electric actuator and a latch releasing operation by an operating force transmission member, the device comprising:
an operating member which is rotatably operable in a direction that matches an opening operation direction of the door until reaching an emergency corresponding position via an operation position from an initial position, and which becomes a handle when performing the opening operation with respect to the door; a switch member which transitions an operation circuit to be in a contact state with respect to the electric actuator as an actuator portion is pushed in accordance with a rotation operation to the operation position of the operating member; a linking portion which moves the operating force transmission member to the operation position in accordance with the movement to the emergency corresponding position of the operating member; and a resistance applying portion which holds the operating member at the operation position by a predetermined holding force.

8 . The handle device for the vehicle according to claim 7 ,
wherein a pushing portion with respect to the electric actuator portion of the switch member includes a cam surface in which a pushing-in dimension is invariable after finishing pushing of the actuator portion by the rotation to the operation position of the operating member until reaching the emergency corresponding position.

9 . The handle device for the vehicle according to claim 7 ,
wherein the linking portion includes a displacement suppression portion which suppresses displacement that occurs in accordance with the rotation operation to the operation position from the initial position of the operating member, and regulates transmission of an operating force to the operating force transmission member.

10 . The handle device for the vehicle according to claim 7 ,
wherein the linking portion includes
a rotating body which is driven to rotate by the operating member,
a follower body which is driven by the cam portion formed in the rotating body, and in which one end thereof is linked to the operating force transmission member, and
a guide portion which regulates a moving direction of the follower body.

11 . The handle device for the vehicle according to claim 10 ,
wherein the pushing portion with respect to the electric actuator portion of the switch member is formed at an outer circumference of the rotating body.

12 . The handle device for the vehicle according to claim 10 ,
wherein the resistance applying portion is formed by a cam portion which corresponds to a steep cam curve in a rotation angle in which an increment of a movement amount of the follower body per unit operation angle of the operating member exceeds the operation position.

13 . The handle device for the vehicle according to claim 7 , further comprising:
a handle unit in which the operating member is linked to a base fixed to a front surface of a door panel; and a linking unit in which the linking portion and the switch member are linked to a unit base fixed to a rear surface of the door panel.
