ABSTRACT:
A handle catch retainer is preferably for a door handle assembly including a support member coupled with the door and a handle disposed about the support member, the catch being configured to couple the handle and support member. The retainer includes a tubular base disposeable within the support member and an elongated holder connected with the base. The holder is configured to support the catch and is moveable between first and second positions with respect to the base, such that the catch is engageable with the handle when the holder is at the first position and the catch is nonengageable with the handle when the holder is at the second position. Further, the retainer is configured so that the holder is generally biased toward the first position. Preferably, the holder is integrally connected with the base such that the holder is biased to the first position by material forces.
