To enable a unit turntable in the vertical direction, and thus solve the problem of twists due to an inclination in the operational direction by making bearing surfaces of a U-shaped groove provided at one end of a handle grip into a protected state, and holding a shaft part provided at a base to be attached to the panel.
A bezel 2 is fixed to another panel 4 by bolts. A U-shaped groove 33 is formed by providing an arm part 31 at one end side of the handle grip 3, and the bezel 2 is formed with a shaft part 24 in an integral manner. The U-shaped groove 33 is formed with bearing surfaces 33a, 33b to hole the shaft part 24 in contact sliceable relation, and as a projected configuration having a pair of inclined surfaces 33c, 33d, the handle grip 3 is rendered slidable only for an interstice B. When the handle grip 3 is to be raised it rotates in the direction A about the shaft part 24 so as to make bell crank rotate, thereby open operating the door of an automotive vehicle. In this instance, the handle grip 3 is rotation operated in the direction C in accordance with the inclination of the operation direction. This can solve the problem of the shaft part and U-shaped groove, and secure its smooth operation.
