ABSTRACT:
According to the present invention, a door handle assembly includes a handle mounted on the outside of the door panel and having a push button mounted on the handle and projecting outside the door panel to be accessible to the vehicle user. The push button is mounted for reciprocal movement to be pushed inwardly to a position inside the door panel when the push button is depressed. A door latch operating lever is mounted inside the door panel and operably connected to the door latch. The push button is hollow and has a cam surface provided on the inside thereof. The door latch operating lever has a cam follower portion extending through the door panel and into the inside of the push button to engage with the cam surface of the push button. When the push button is depressed, the cam surface pivots the operating lever to unlatch the door latch. Accordingly, the co-action between the push button and the operating lever occurs at a point outside the door panel, thereby enabling the door handle assembly to be configured to lessen its extent of intrusion into the vehicle door.
