A vehicle door handle assembly with a sensor device for detecting an actuation is provided. A handle of the handle assembly has a section which can be gripped from behind and an outer wall that delimits an interior in which an electronic sensor device is arranged and fixed. The handle section is formed with a reduced outer wall thickness in an actuation region and has a deformability that is increased with respect to the remaining sections of the handle. The outer wall thickness is reduced solely on the outer wall face oriented towards the interior. The handle outer wall inner face oriented towards the interior is coated with a metal layer at least in the actuation region. The electronic sensor device comprises at least one inductive distance sensor which lies opposite the metal layer in the interior of the handle to detect a deformation of the opposing outer wall.

Door handle assembly for a motor vehicle

A vehicle door handle with a handle component is provided. The handle component includes a hollow body, and an inductive sensor device is arranged in a cavity in order to detect an actuation of the handle component. A support having a support fastening section and a self-supporting section connected to the latter are arranged in the cavity, wherein the support fastening section is secured to the vehicle door handle, and wherein the self-supporting section of the support extends in the interior of the cavity at a distance from the wall surfaces of the handle component such that the self-supporting section of the support is mechanically decoupled from the wall surfaces of the handle component. The inductive sensor device is held in the self-supporting section, wherein a metallic material is arranged in at least one section of those wall surfaces of the handle component which surround the self-supporting section.

A door handle assembly for a motor vehicle includes a handle carrier mounted on the vehicle and a grip part rotatably mounted on the handle carrier. The grip part opens a door or flap of the motor vehicle. A coupling device is rotatably mounted on the handle carrier for transmitting an actuation of the grip part to a locking arrangement on the vehicle. A joint element pivotably interconnects the coupling device and the grip part. The joint element movably supports an actuating member which is moved by rotation translationally between mounting and operating positions. In the operating position, the actuating member is pivotably mounted on the coupling device and is in engagement with the grip part. In the mounting position, the actuating member bears against a blocking surface of the coupling device that blocks rotation of the actuating member and is out of engagement with the grip part.

A lock system for a motor vehicle includes a handle for opening a door or hatch, a drive device coupled to the handle, and a control device which is suited for checking an access code of a mobile ID transmitter, coupled to the drive device. A lock device is provided for the door or hatch. The handle can move between a non-use position in which it is flush with an outer contour of the door or hatch and an opening position in which it protrudes at least in part from the outer contour. The drive device is coupled and designed for opening or closing the door or hatch such that it moves along a movement path along which the drive device extends the handle into its opening position or retracts it into its non-use position, as well as actuating the lock device.

Lock system for a motor vehicle

A door handle assembly for a motor vehicle has a handle mount, a handle and a coupling device, wherein the handle is coupled to the coupling device in the region of its second handle end which provides a door handle assembly in a structurally simple manner, in which the play in the longitudinal direction of the handle mount, and thus the clearance in the opening in the door panel for the handle ends, is reduced to a minimum. This is achieved in that the second handle end of the handle and a deflection lever of the mechanical coupling device are moveably coupled to one another by a pivotable and hinge-like articulated connection of the second handle end in relation to the deflection lever, when the handle has been actuated.

Two sensors () which cooperate with one another are used in the interior of an activator () in order to trigger functions in a vehicle, said sensors () being a proximity sensor () with a capacitive electrode () and a pressure sensor () with a pressure measuring element (). The intention is that the pressure measuring element () will be acted on when pressure is applied manually () to an application point () on the outside of the actuator (). It is proposed that in order to improve the method of functioning that the electrode () of the proximity sensor () be provided with a breakthrough () and that the pressure transmission between the application point () on the actuator () and the pressure measuring element () be lead through the breakthrough () in the electrode (). The space between the application point () and the pressure measuring element () is spanned by a pressure transmitting means () which passes through the breakthrough (). The functioning of the proximity sensor () is not hampered just as the functioning of the pressure measuring element () is unimpeded.

Device for triggering functions in a vehicle

A construction unit () comprising a support () and a locking cylinder () is present in the device and is secured from the inner door side () behind the outer door lining (). Those parts of the locking cylinder which project on the outer door side are covered by a cap which is secured on the inner door side () by securing means. In order to simplify the handling and to save space, it is proposed to use the securing means for the cap at the same time in order to also secure the construction unit () on the inner door side ().
