ABSTRACT:
The apparatus for mounting the outer door handle assembly to the automotive door according to the invention comprises: an outer handle body consisting of an engagement projection, an engagement surface, and a flange; and a mounting fitting consisting of an engagement portion for engagement with the engagement projection, a rotatable engagement claw for engagement with the engagement surface, and a projection edge.
The outer handle body is inserted from outside into the mounting opening in the outer plate of the door; the engagement portion of the mounting fitting is engaged from inside the door with the engagement projection; and the engagement claw is rotated to engage with the engagement surface. As a result the outer plate of the door is tightly clamped by the flange and the projection edge, thus permitting the outer door handle assembly to be securely mounted to the door without the use of bolts and nuts.
