VEHICLE DOOR HANDLE APPARATUS

摘要

A door handle apparatus includes: a handle base (2) secured to a vehicle door (1); an operation handle (3) freely rotatably coupled to the handle base (2); and a lighting device (6) including a light emitting element (5) that emits light by being fed with power through wire harnesses (4) inserted through an inside of the operation handle (3). An irradiation opening (7) is formed on a sidewall of the operation handle (3), which is opposite to the ground in a state where the operation handle (3) is attached onto the door (1). The lighting device (6) is formed in a lens portion (9) sealing the light emitting element (5) in cooperation with sealing resin (8), and is secured to the operation handle (3) by fitting, to the irradiation opening (7), a fitting protruding portion (10) having a shape coinciding with the irradiation opening (7).
