A vehicle door handle assembly includes a handle trigger including: an articulated end so that the handle trigger can be movable around the articulated end between a rest position and an open position when a user pulls on the handle trigger, an activation end at the opposite side of the articulated end, to release a latch of the vehicle door, a handle structure intended to be fixed to the panel of the vehicle door, wherein the vehicle door handle assembly further includes a flexible bellow gasket housed into the handle structure and arranged between the activation end of the handle trigger and the handle structure.

Vehicle door handle assembly

An electronic handle for a vehicle door including an electronic device, an activation lever, and a bracket. The electronic device electronically activates a latch of the vehicle door. The activation lever is configured to rotate around an activation lever axis between a rest position in which the activation lever is released, and a mechanical activation position in which the activation lever is actuated for mechanically activating the latch of the vehicle door in case of default of the electronic device. The bracket receives the activation lever. The activation lever comprises a driving element pivotally connected to the activation lever, and the bracket comprises a flexible blade with a stop element.

Electronic handle for a vehicle door

A handle for a vehicle door that includes a grip member, a primary actuation mechanism, and a secondary actuation mechanism. The grip member is movable between a flush position, an active position range, and an opening position. The grip member includes a grip return device configured to drive the grip member toward the flush position. The primary actuation mechanism is moveable between a primary activating position range and a primary rest position. The secondary actuation mechanism is moveable between a secondary activating position range and a secondary rest position. The secondary actuation mechanism is configured to bring the primary actuation mechanism to the primary rest position after a predetermined time period after reaching a predetermined activating position in the primary activation position range.

Handle for a vehicle door

A handle mechanism includes a handle and control mechanism. The handle is movable between a rest position flush with the door and a working position projecting therefrom. The control mechanism includes a first lever, a second lever, a tie-rod having ends linked to the first lever and the second lever according to hinged linkages at least one of which has a first oblong aperture parallel to the tie-rod, a device for elastically biasing the handle towards the rest position, a cam, a rod linking the cam to the tie-rod and including a pin. The tie-rod further includes a second oblong aperture parallel to the first oblong aperture and through which the pin of the rod extends in order to make the handle slide from the working position to the rest position in a motor-driven way through an over-travel of the cam when the elastic biasing device are not sufficient.

Motor-driven control for a flush door handle and method for operating it

A locking system for a motor vehicle door leaf includes a door leaf and a handle of the flush type that has at least one bracket, a gripping lever, a transmission lever, a first reversible inertial safety system, and a second irreversible inertial safety system.

Locking system for a door leaf of a motor vehicle comprising a handle of the flush type

A handle for a vehicle door is provided that includes an activation member configured to activate a latch of a vehicle door and a grip member that cooperates with the activation member to unlatch the door. The grip member is movable between a flush position where a gripping part extends flush to an external panel of the door, an active position where the gripping part is graspable by projecting from the panel and the grip member cooperates with the activation member, and an opening position where the grip member drives the activation member to activate the latch and unlatch the door. In one form, a driving mechanism and actuator lever drives the grip member between the flush and active position. When the grip member is pulled in an opening direction, the grip member drives the activation member which in turn activates the latch to unlatch the door.

A locking system for an opening leaf of a motor vehicle includes an opening leaf and a handle which contains a framework which is designed to be fixed to the opening leaf, a grab lever which commands the opening of a lock of the opening leaf, a grab element which is arranged on an exterior side of the opening leaf and which is designed to allow a user to actuate the grab lever, the grab element being longitudinally delineated by a front end and a rear end, at least one first inertial security system which is mounted on the framework and which contains a rocker which bears an inertial mass, wherein the axis of rotation of the grab lever extends vertically overall at the front of the front end of the grab element, the inertial mass being arranged longitudinally forward of the axis of rotation of the grab lever.

Locking system equipped with a handle and with a remotely situated inertial system

The invention relates to a handle that includes an activation member for activating a latch of a vehicle door to unlatch the door and a grip member that cooperates with the activation member to unlatch the door. The grip member has a gripping part and is movable between a flushing position in which the gripping part extends flush to an external panel of the door, an active position in which the gripping part projects with respect to the external panel, becoming graspable, and an opening position in which the grip member drives the activation member to unlatch the door. The handle has a driving mechanism and an actuator lever cooperating with the grip member to drive the latter between the flushing and the active position. When the grip member is pulled in an opening direction, the grip member drives the activation member which unlatches the door.

The vehicle door handle () is arranged in such a way that an inertial mass () in the handle passes irreversibly from a rest configuration in which it allows the door to be opened into a locking configuration which it prevents opening and passes from the locking configuration into an unlocked configuration, different from the rest configuration and from the locking configuration, the handle being arranged so that placement of the inertial mass () in the unlocking configuration has the effect of it once again being possible for the door to be opened.

Vehicle door handle comprising an inertial mass

The present invention relates to an automobile door handle (), comprising: an interior fitting (), said interior fitting () comprising at least one metal or metallized element; an intermediate means () connecting said interior fitting () to a reference potential; an attachment means () for retaining said interior fitting () on said door handle (); said door handle () being characterized in that said intermediate means () and said attachment means () are arranged such that the attachment of said interior fitting () by means of said attachment means () involves connecting said interior fitting () to said reference potential.

Automobile door handle

A method for assembling a handle of a motor vehicle includes assembling, from an outside of a panel, an articulation end of a gripping lever of a motor vehicle opening-element handle in a first cavity of articulation of the panel and a fixed positioning body in a second positioning cavity of the panel. The method also includes inserting a bolt body into the fixed positioning body from the outside of the panel, screwing a first fastening screw into the bolt body through the fixed positioning body from an inside of the panel so as to screw the bolt body directly on the panel and to fasten the fixed positioning body on the panel, and screwing a second fastening screw into the articulation end from the inside of the panel.
