ABSTRACT:
A door handle spring assembly for biasing a catch releasably coupling a door handle to a sleeve. The spring assembly includes a first arm engaged with the catch, a second arm extending outwardly from the sleeve, and a loop portion formed between the first and second arms. The first arm and the loop portion are retained within the sleeve. The spring assembly further functions to exert a radial biasing force between the handle and the sleeve to minimize play therebetween.
