A holding element includes a door handle that actuates a door lock and the door handle support at a vehicle with at least a first and second retainer that fixes the holding element at the door handle support and at least a fastener that fastens a mechanical connection element for the actuation of the door lock wherein at least the first retainer serves for the form-fitting fixation of the holding element at the door handle support.

Holding element for a door handle device

Provided is a device for securing an essential component, in particular a lock cylinder, a lock cylinder catch or the like, of a handle of a motor vehicle, the device having a carrier, which can be secured on the inside to a movable part, in particular to a lid, tailgate or door. A blocking unit is arranged on the carrier and comprises movable gear elements, by means of which the blocking unit can be moved between a blocking position and a release position, the component being located in a detached manner in the carrier in the release position and the component being held securely on the carrier in the blocking position.

Device for securing an essential component of a motor vehicle handle

The invention relates to an external handle on doors or hatches of vehicles, using a two piece () housing, wherein a cavity () is generated between said pieces. A sensor () is arranged in said cavity in a container (). On operation, the sensor carries out certain functions in the lock. According to the invention, failures caused by the ingress of fluids into the cavity () can be avoided, wherein the container () is formed from an elastic molded mass (), in which the sensor () and optionally some further electric and/or electronic components for the sensor operation are embedded. An elastic surface () is achieved on at least one end piece of the container () by means of the molded mass (). When assembled, the container () is pressed () with said elastic surface () against an inner surface () of the housing piece (). On pressing (), the end piece of the container () deforms and functions as sealing means ('), preventing an ingress of fluid between the container surface () and the housing inner surface ().

External handle on doors or hatches of vehicle

A motor vehicle outside door handle with a wall surrounding an interior space, a first sensor electrode of a first capacitive sensor for triggering a final locking operation, a second sensor electrode of a second capacitive sensor for triggering a locking operation, and an evaluation circuit, which is connected to the first sensor electrode. The second sensor electrode is arranged in the interior space. The first sensor electrode, the second sensor electrode and the evaluation circuit are accommodated in a single sensor module which can be inserted into the interior space. The sensor module has a flat plastic trough which has a bottom wall and is open on one side. A printed circuit board provided with connecting cables is placed into the plastic trough filled with a plastics compound. The sensor electrodes are formed by metal-coated layers of the printed circuit board or by metal bodies mounted on the printed circuit board.

Motor vehicle outside door handle with a sensor module

The invention concerns an outer door grip, in particular for vehicles. The outer door grip exhibits a handle (), which can operate a lock disposed in the door upon actuation. The outer door grip exhibits a pivotal blocking member (), which is normally placed in its ineffective release position () and therewith enables actuation of the handle (). The blocking member () passes into an effective blocking position () based on the inertia of the mass of the blocking member () in case of a crash, whereby the handle () becomes blocked. The blocking member () has available two blocking positions (), wherein the blocking member () moves into the first blocking position () upon a crash out of a first direction () and wherein the blocking member () moves into the second blocking position () upon a crash out of a second direction () located opposite to the first direction (). A blocking lever () is furnished which is intermediately switched in the blocking position () of the blocking member (). The blocking lever () is thereby guided in a kind of connecting link guide ().

Outer door grip, in particular for vehicles

The invention relates to a handle with an integrated switch () for doors or hinged flaps of vehicles. The push-button switch is essentially made up of two components which can be fitted together. The first component () is made of a single-pieced injection-moulding product made of three plastic components which comprise a solid covering-shaped housing and an elastic membrane. Said membrane closes the housing cover () at the base on one end thereof, thus giving the component () a shell shape. A solid pressure activator () on the membrane () is used as the third plastic component. The second component () is formed from a circuit board () comprising connected cables () and a microswitch () mounted thereon. The second component () is inserted into the inside of a shell () of the first component (). The circuit board () is oriented towards the shell opening () and is projected from the edge of the shell () of the shell-shaped component (). Said connecting area of both components () is secured by a safety plate () which covers at least the inserted circuit board () in certain areas. The remaining part of the shell edge of the shell-shaped component () is used as a mould and becomes a sealing compound () which closes the shell opening () after hardening.
