What is claimed is: 1. A door handle device for vehicles including a handle base to be fixed to a door panel by screwing, wherein the handle base has a through hole for inserting a screw thereinto, and a screw locking member into which a fore end of the screw inserted into the through hole is to be screwed, the screw locking member being formed integrally with the handle base so that the screw locking member can be moved to a position corresponding to the through hole, wherein the screw locking member is coupled to a main body of the handle base by an elastically bendable coupling portion, and wherein the screw locking member and the elastically bendable coupling portion are arranged such that the coupling portion can be bent to move the screw locking member into a position in which a portion of the screw locking member is disposed in the through hole of the handle base. 2. The door handle device for vehicles as claimed in claim 1, wherein the screw locking member is coupled to a main body of the handle base by a generally thin-plate shaped, elastically deformable coupling portion, and the screw locking member is placed at a position corresponding to the through hole in such a manner that the coupling portion is bent. 3. The door handle device for vehicles as claimed in claim 1, wherein the handle base has a handle insertion hole to which part of a handle member to be assembled to the handle base is to be fitted, and the screw locking member is provided within the handle insertion hole or at a position projected from the main body of the handle base. 4. The door handle device for vehicles as claimed in claim 1, wherein the screw locking member has a threaded through hole formed therein into which the screw is to be threaded. 5. The door handle device for vehicles as claimed in claim 1, wherein the through hole of the handle base and the screw locking member are arranged such that the screw locking member, when moved to the position corresponding to the through hole, is disposed on an exterior side of the handle base and can receive a leading end of the screw when the screw is inserted into the through hole from an interior side of the handle base. 6. A door handle device for vehicles including a handle base to be fixed to a door panel by screwing, the handle base comprising: a through hole for inserting a screw thereinto, a blocking portion for blocking inclination of the screw by making contact with an outer periphery of a screw head portion of the screw inserted into the through hole, the blocking portion being provided around one side of the through hole of the handle base on which the screw is inserted, and a restrictive claw portion for restricting movement of the screw in an axial direction by engaging with a screw thread of the screw inserted into the through hole, the restrictive claw portion being provided at the through hole, wherein the screw inserted into the through hole is temporarily fixed to the handle base by the blocking portion and the restrictive claw portion, wherein the blocking portion protrudes from the handle base so as to at least partially surround an opening of an insertion end of the through hole, wherein the blocking portion comprises at least two blocking members disposed on diametrically opposite sides of the opening of the insertion end of the through hole so as to face each other and so as to be arranged to engage diametrically opposite portions of the outer periphery of the screw head portion of the screw, and wherein the two blocking members disposed on the diametrically opposite sides of the opening of the insertion end of the through hole are spaced apart by a distance greater than an inner diameter of the opening of the insertion end of the through hole. 7. The door handle device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the restrictive claw portion comprises at least two restrictive claw members on an inner circumference of the through hole so each of the restrictive claw members being elastically deformable in an insertion direction of the screw. 8. The door handle device for vehicles as claimed in claim 6, further comprising a screw locking member into which a fore end of the screw inserted into the through hole is to be screwed, wherein the screw locking member is held at a mounting position by the temporarily fixed screw. 9. The door handle device for vehicles as claimed in claim 6, wherein the restrictive claw portion is elastically deformable and protrudes inwardly into the through hole. 10. The door handle device for vehicles as claimed in claim 9, wherein the elastically deformable restrictive claw portion is inclined toward an insertion end of the through hole so as to yieldingly engage the screw thread of the screw upon insertion of the screw into the through hole without requiring rotation of the screw. 11. The door handle device for vehicles as claimed in claim 10, wherein the restrictive claw portion comprises at least two restrictive claw members protruding toward each other.
