Vehicle door handle assembly

摘要

A vehicle door handle assembly is mounted on a support panel for operating a door latch. The door handle assembly has a D-shaped door handle that includes an integral pivot pin. A lock button has a part cylindrical socket that receives the pivot pin to mount the lock button pivotally on the door handle. The pivot pin is shaped to provide a cross section that has a minimum thickness to facilitate lateral insertion of the pivot pin into the part cylindrical socket via a loading slot. The door handle also includes integral trunnions for mounting the door handle pivotally on the support panel.
