Rectractable handle arrangement
A retractable handle arrangement with a handle 6 having a swing-arm 27 pivotal about axis 24 for coupling the handle to a support structure 25, preferable door skin 4, moveable between a stowed and deployed state, the swing arm having an engagement, preferable stud 44, which in the deployed state engages the support structure, preferable via socket 42, to prevent lateral play or rattle (movement in a direction perpendicular to the movement of the handle). The engagement may be a recess or protrusion with a truncated pyramidal profile, and the support structure may have a corresponding pyramidal recess of protrusion. The handle may be moveable from a deployed to operative state, in which the door is unlatched, via pivot 29. Also claimed is a body component, preferably a door 4, having an aperture for receiving the handle. The handle may fill the aperture and lie flush with the door. The handle may be a pop-out handle electrically driven between deployed and stowed states via motor 14 interacting with spindle 16 via worm gear or a rack and pinion.
