Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a handle device for a vehicle, the handle device being able to be assembled with good work efficiency. A handle device for a vehicle is formed by overlaying and connecting a cover (4) to a case sub-assembly body (3) in which an electronic component (2) is held in a case (1). The case (1) is provided with a cable restraining section (7) which restrains a cable (6) while the cable (6) is bent at a right angle, the cable (6) having been led out of the electronic component (2) by a cable guide (5) to an end of the case (1) along an electronic component mounting surface. The slack of the cable (6) in a path on the case sub-assembly body (3), the path extending from the electronic component (2) to the cable restraining section (7), is restricted by the cable restraining section (7), thereby preventing the cable from getting caught during the overlaying of the cover (4).

Claims

1. A handle device for a vehicle, the handle device being formed by overlaying and connecting a cover on and to a case sub-assembly body including a case and an electronic component held therein, wherein

the case is provided with a cable restraining section configured to perpendicularly bend and restrain a cable which is led out of the electronic component and led by a cable guide to an end of the case along an electronic component mounting surface, and

the cable restraining section restricts slack of the cable in a path on the case sub-assembly body from the electronic component to the cable restraining section, to thereby prevent the cable from being caught when the cover is overlaid.

2. The handle device for a vehicle according to claim 1, wherein

the cable restraining section is formed in a cylindrical shape with a side wall section thereof cut out along a longitudinal direction such that the cable restraining section is capable of elastically retaining the cable, and

an elastic spacer is interposed between the cable and the cable restraining section to thereby improve sliding contact resistance of the cable on the cable restraining section.

3. The handle device for a vehicle according to claim 2, wherein the spacer is formed in a tubular shape for bundling a plurality of the cables.

4. The handle device for a vehicle according to claim 1, wherein, at the end of the case, a pressing piece is provided which is configured to restrict rise of the cable due to forcible bending thereof at the cable restraining section.

5. The handle device for a vehicle according to claim 1, comprising an electronic component which is housed in an electronic component holding frame formed on the case and is fixed by filler resin that solidifies with time, wherein

the cable restraining section restrains a cable led out of the electronic component to thereby prevent slack of the cable inside the electronic component holding frame.
