<p>A DOOR HANDLE ASSEMBLY (10) PROVIDING AN ENTRY FUNCTION INCLUDES A SLEEVE (18), A SPINDLE (20) AND A HANDLE THAT FITS OVER THE SLEEVE (18). GAP AND PLAY BETWEEN THE HANDLE AND THE SLEEVE (18) IS ELIMINATED BY TIGHTENING OF A THREADED FASTENER (43) AGAINST AN INNER SURFACE (17) OF THE HANDLE. A TOOL (58) IS SELECTIVELY RECEIVED THROUGH AN OPENING IN THE SPINDLE (20) FOR TIGHTENING THE THREADED FASTENER (43). THE OPENING IN THE SPINDLE (20) IS ALIGNABLE WITH AN APERTURE IN THE HANDLE WHEN IN AN UNLOCKED CONDITION. THE TOOL (58) IS THEN PERMITTED TO EXTEND THROUGH THE APERTURE AND THE OPENING IN THE SPINDLE (20) TO ENGAGE THE THREADED FASTENER (43). A SECOND END (46) OF THE THREADED FASTENER (43) ABUTS THE INNER SURFACE (17) OF THE HANDLE, SECURING THE HANDLE TO THE SLEEVE (18). ANOTHER DOOR HANDLE ASSEMBLY (10) ACCORDING TO THIS INVENTION PROVIDES A PRIVACY FUNCTION AND INCLUDES A THREADED FASTENER (43) THAT CONTACTS AN INNER SURFACE (17) OF A DOOR HANDLE ASSEMBLY (10).</p> |
