Anti-rattle structure for door handle

摘要

The door handle assembly (10) includes a pivoting child lock out cam (64) which pivots between a first locked position and a second unlocked position with respect to a door handle (34). More particularly, the child lock out cam (64) includes a latch (78) with an aperture through which a hook (82) on an underside of the door handle (34) passes in the first locked position. In order to reduce unwanted noises, such as rattling, from the child lock out cam (64) in a vibratory environment, a flexible tab (90) integrally extends from a plate (12) of the door handle assembly (10) to laterally bear against a radially enlarged cam section (88) on the child lock out cam thereby urging the journal (66) of the child lock out cam (64) against the interior walls of the bearing apertures (72,74) through which the journal (66) passes.
