Outside handle assembly of vehicle
An outside handle assembly of a vehicle includes a handle grip having a pivot end at one end thereof and an operating lever at the other end thereof, and a handle base located in a door panel and coupled to the handle grip that can be pulled by a user. Here, an initial setting lever is mounted at a rear side of the handle base. A balance weight mounted at the rear side of the handle base by the medium of a return spring is moved in an open direction to be hooked and locked by the initial setting lever. Also, the operating lever of the handle grip has a perpendicularly-bent end at the end thereof such that the operating lever is inserted into the handle base without an interference with the balance weight.
1. An outside handle assembly of a vehicle comprising:
a handle grip including a pivot end at one end thereof and an operating lever at the other end thereof; and
a handle base located in a door panel and coupled to the handle grip that can be pulled by a user, wherein:
an initial setting lever is disposed at a rear side of the handle base;
a balance weight mounted at the rear side of the handle base and biased by a return spring toward an open direction to be hooked and locked by the initial setting lever; and
the operating lever of the handle grip has a perpendicularly-bent end such that the operating lever is inserted into the handle base without an interference with the balance weight;
wherein a pushing end is integrally formed at a rear side of the initial setting lever; and
wherein when the pushing end of the initial setting lever is pushed, the initial setting lever is separated from the balance weight.
2. The outside handle assembly of claim 1 , wherein a projecting part is formed at a rear portion of the balance weight, and a locking hook for hooking the projecting part is integrally formed at the initial setting lever.
3. The outside handle assembly of claim 1 , wherein the pushing end is integrally formed at a rear side of the initial setting lever based on a location where a locking hook is formed.
4. The outside handle assembly of claim 1 , wherein, when the initial setting lever is unlocked, the balance weight is pivoted to an original position by a resilient force of the return spring to allow a rear side of a pullback lever of the balance weight to be detachably hooked by an outer surface of a perpendicularly-bent end of the operating lever.
5. The outside handle assembly of claim 1 , wherein a stopper contacting an outer surface of a bent end of the handle grip is integrally formed at an inner portion of the handle base to limit a forward pullback distance of the handle grip.
