An actuation mechanism () mounted in the pull handle housing () and can be actuated by the handle part (). A coupling element () mounted in the pull handle housing () couples with external lock elements. A locking mechanism () locks and unlocks the actuation mechanism (). The coupling element is displaceable in the bearing part along an actuation axis (), perpendicular to the swivel axis, and connected to the handle part () for linear movement in the actuation direction () parallel to the actuation axis ().

Pull handle for a vehicle door

A pull handle () to unlock a lock of a vehicle door or lift-gate having a pull handle housing () with a bearing part () for securing on a vehicle door or lift-gate and a handle part () connected to the bearing part () rotatable around a rotation axis (). The handle part () is rotatable by pulling from a non-activated to an activated position. An activation mechanism () mounted in the pull handle housing () unlocks the lock, and can be activated by pulling on the handle part () and having a coupling element () mounted in the pull handle housing () to couple with external elements to unlock the lock. A locking mechanism () is located completely in the pull handle housing () and the activation mechanism () can be disabled so that a pulling on the handle part () does not unlock the lock.
