Abstract
A flush handle assembly for a vehicle door includes a flush handle including a grip member, an actuator, and an intermediate lever. The grip member is configured to cooperate with a latch mechanism to unlatch the vehicle door. The grip member is rotatable about a horizontal axis. The actuator is configured to move the grip member from a flush position in which the grip member extends flush to an external panel of the vehicle door, to a deployed position in which the grip member projects with respect to the external panel of the vehicle door. The intermediate lever connects the actuator to the grip member. The intermediate lever is rotatable about the horizontal axis.
