Door locking handle assembly of pull-out and side-swinging lever-action type

A door locking handle assembly of a pull-out and side-swinging lever-action type, comprising:

• a stationary casing (1) fixedly mounted on a door (8), said stationary casing (1) being provided with a recess in its front surface and a cylindrical portion (2) in its base-end portion, wherein said cylindrical portion (2) projects rearward from a rear surface of said base-end portion;
• a main pin (3) rotatably mounted in said cylindrical portion (2) of said base-end portion of said stationary casing (1) in an insertion manner, said main pin (3) being non-axially slidable in said cylindrical portion (2) and having its rear-end portion fixed to a catch plate (6), wherein said catch plate (6) is engaged with and disengaged from a receiving portion (5) of a stationary frame element (4), and said main pin (3) is provided with a connecting boss portion (7) in its front-end portion;
• a control handle (10) which has its base-end portion pivoted to said connecting boss portion (7) of said main pin (3) through a cross pivot (9) so that said control handle (10) is foldable into and projectable from said recess in said stationary casing (1), whereby said control handle (10) is side-swingable in its projected position;
• a laminated leaf spring (11) constructed of a pair of an upper and a lower spring element stacked together, wherein said laminated leaf spring (11) is provided with a central through-hole (12) through which said laminated leaf spring (11) is fixedly mounted on said connecting boss portion (7) of said main pin (3), said upper spring element of said laminated leaf spring (11) being provided with a pair of upwardly protruding portions (33, 34) which are diametrically opposite to each other so as to have said central through-hole (12) disposed therebetween, wherein a front surface of said main pin (3) faces a rear surface of said laminated leaf spring (11) and is curved rearwardly to form a concave portion (13);
• an engaging projection (14) which is provided in a rear surface of said base-end portion of said control handle (10) and brought into abutting contact with a front surface of said laminated leaf spring (11), wherein after said control handle (10) including its grip portion (15) of said control handle (10) with respect to a reference line (39) extending in a direction perpendicular to a front surface of said door (8), when said control handle (10) is pulled out of said recess in stationary casing (1), said top portion (14a) of said engaging projection (14) of said control handle (10) moves across said reference line (39);
• a first engaging groove portion (31) which is provided in a first oblique surface (14b) of said engaging projection (14) of said control handle (10) and engaged with said engaging upwardly protruding portions (33, 34) of said laminated leaf spring (11) when said control handle (10) projects from said stationary casing (1);
• a second engaging groove portion (32) which is provided in a second oblique surface (14c) of said engaging projection 914) of said control handle (10) and engaged with said upwardly protruding portions (33,34) of said laminated leaf spring (11) when said control handle (10) folds into said recess in said stationary casing (1);
• a lock unit (22) provided in a front portion of said handle grip portion (15), said lock unit (22) including a rotor (23) having a lock plate (24) attached thereto, so that said lock plate (24) is rotatable into a receiving portion (25) of said stationary casing (1);
• and
• said stationary casing (1) is mounted on a door (8) by a mounting plate (29) being abutted against a surface of the door (8) and attached thereto by a plurality of screws (30) each threadably engaged in the stationary casing (1).
