A vehicle door handle assembly includes a bracket and a deploying mechanism configured to move a handle grip between a flushing and a deployed position. The deploying mechanism includes at least one lever having a front lever, a rear lever, a recess on the bracket, a contact surface on the at least one lever, and a blocking lever placed between the recess and the contact surface. The blocking lever configured to move from a first position, when the handle grip is flush, to a second position, when the handle grip is deployed, in its second position, the blocking lever is pressed against the recess on the bracket and against the contact surface, thereby blocking the rotation of the at least one lever in its first position.

A vehicle door handle assembly includes a handle grip that is movable between a flushing position in which it is flush with an exterior door panel surface and a ready position in which it is protruding and graspable by a user. The vehicle door handle assembly also includes a back-up mechanism that includes a flap covering at least partially a cavity arranged inside the handle grip, the flap being movable between a closed position in which it covers the cavity inside the handle grip and an open position in which it permits access to the inside of the cavity, hence allowing a user to insert his fingers or an object inside the cavity and to pull on the handle grip in order to move it from the flushing position to the ready position.

A detection device is configured to activate at least one function of an apparatus, for example activating an electric lock of a vehicle's door, upon the detection of a force applied to an activation part of the apparatus. The apparatus includes a fixed part. The activation part is fixedly attached to the fixed part. The detection device includes a blade and at least one sensor. The blade includes a first bearing part configured to bear against the activation part and a second bearing part configured to bear against the fixed part. The at least one sensor is arranged on the blade and is configured to measure a deformation of the blade when a force is applied on the activation part and collect a deformation signal to be transmitted to a controller. The at least one sensor includes a first sensor arranged between the first and second bearing parts.

Detection device and detection system for activating at least one function of an apparatus, and apparatus comprising the detection system

In a vehicle door handle assembly, a first lever rotates between a rest position where a first extremity is in a rest position, a deployed position where the first extremity is outside a bracket, and an opening position where the first lever actuates an opening lever. A second lever rotates between a rest position where a second extremity is in a rest position, an activation position where the second extremity lowers the second lever into the bracket, and a deployed position where the second extremity is outside the bracket. A return lever includes an elastic device biasing it to a first position. Rotation of the second lever to an activation position actuates rotation of the return lever from its first to a second position. Rotation of the return lever from its second to its first position actuates rotation of the second lever from its deployed position to its rest position.

A handle for a vehicle opening leaf includes an inner bracket mechanism and an outer bezel mechanism. The inner bracket mechanism is mounted from an inside of the opening leaf. The outer bezel mechanism is mounted from an outside of the opening leaf and is fixed to the inner bracket mechanism. The outer bezel mechanism includes a bezel and a grip mechanism. The bezel extends inward to an interior of the opening to allow access by a hand to the grip mechanism. The grip mechanism is configured to cooperate with a latch mechanism so as to unlatch the opening leaf. The grip mechanism is rotatably mounted on the outer bezel mechanism between a resting position in which the grip mechanism is flush with the opening leaf, and an opening position in which the grip mechanism drives the latch mechanism to unlatch the opening leaf.

Door handle assembly having an outer bezel mechanism and an inner bracket mechanism

A handle of a door leaf for a motor vehicle includes a gripping element and a detection device. The gripping element includes an external surface facing outside of a vehicle passenger compartment and an internal surface facing inside of the vehicle passenger compartment. The gripping element is movable relative to a support and fixed to at least one lever configured to displace the gripping element. The gripping element is flush with the door leaf in a closed position. The detection device is configured to detect a predetermined pressure exerted on the gripping element and to send, when such predetermined pressure is detected, an opening signal of the door leaf to an opening device configured to open the door leaf. The detection device is disposed relative to the gripping element on the internal surface of the gripping element.
