Door handle structure requiring a smaller space for arranging a mechanism for releasing a door latch

摘要

A door handle for a vehicle includes: a main body (51) held when the door is opened or closed; a lever member (52) provided on an inner side of the main body in a freely rotatable manner; a handle case (53) to which the main body and the lever member are attached; and a transmission device (54) for transmitting rotation of the lever member to a latch mechanism (25) of the door so as to release a latch state of the door. The transmission device has: a rotation member (62) which is engaged with the lever member and rotates vertically in accordance with the rotation of the lever member; and a coupling member (26) for coupling the rotation member and the latch mechanism with each other. A coupling part (C1) between the rotation member and the latch mechanism is positioned closer to a front surface of the door in comparison with a rotational center (C2) of the rotation member.
