Abstract
Disclosed is an inner handle assembly mounted on a sliding door of a car. An inner handle is fixed at a housing to rotate in both directions and always returned to a neutral position by an inner handle operation controlling mechanism. Therefore, if the inner handle is turned in the door opening direction or if the door closing direction from the neutral position, a door-open maintaining mechanism or a door-close maintaining mechanism is released. Therefore, only by applying power in any one direction of the inner handle, the sliding door can be easily opened or shut.
