ABSTRACT:
A door-lock button assembly for use on the door of a closed-body automotive vehicle in which a lock button is selectively movable between a door-locking and door-unlocking positions. A housing is mounted on an inside frame element and embraces the lock button, the button being received in the housing when in the door-locking position. The housing includes an aperture, and the lock button includes relatively smooth surfaces exposed through the aperture. The aperture is of a size proportioned to permit manual access to and actuation of the lock button when in the door-locking position and to preclude gripping actuation of the lock button when in the door-locking position by any instrument. The aperture is at least partially defined by lateral housing margins that extend outwardly of the lock button a distance sufficient for precluding effective engagement of the lock button by an instrument extending substantially transversely of the aperture. Preferably, the housing includes a pair of substantially opposed apertures, and the lock button is located inwardly of a substantially straight reference line passed transversely between the outer edges of the lateral margins of each aperture.
