Laminated inside door handle assembly and method

A method of constructing of an inside door assembly of a vehicle having a bezel with a recessed main portion and a perimeter portion, and having a handle with a main portion pivotally mounted in the recessed main portion wherein the handle is urged to one position and operable to another position for opening the door, the method comprising:

• injection molding the bezel to form the recessed main portion and the perimeter portion;
• injection molding the handle to form the main portion and to form a means on the handle for pivoting the handle in the bezel;
• injection molding soft resilient material onto the perimeter portion forming a first outer deformable surface surrounding the recessed main portion of the bezel;
• injection molding soft resilient material onto the main portion of the handle forming a second outer deformable surface to be substantially co-planar with the first deformable outer surface when mounted to the bezel;
• and
• assembling the handle in the recessed main portion of the bezel via the pivotal means positioning the outer first and second deformable surfaces in co-planar relationship with edges of the first and second deformable surfaces opposing each other when in the one position.

A method of constructing an inside door handle assembly of a vehicle, having a bezel with a recessed main portion and an outer perimeter portion, and having a handle with a main portion pivotally mounted in the recessed portion wherein the handle is urged to one position and operable to another position for opening the door, the method comprising:

• forming a bezel having a recessed main portion and a perimeter portion with a first predetermined surface contour;
• forming a handle with a main portion having a second predetermined surface contour;
• forming a first outer portion having one surface with a complementing contour corresponding to the first predetermined surface contour, and an opposite planar surface;
• forming a second outer portion having one surface with a complementing contour corresponding to the second predetermined surface contour and an opposite planar surface,
• said first and second outer portions being dimensioned to position the respective opposite planar surfaces substantially flush with one another;
• and
• fastening the respective complementing surface to the outer perimeter of the bezel and the main portion of the handle to oppose one another at respective edges at times when the handle is in one position.
