Abstract
Motor vehicle door handle of the type having a spring biased actuating lever for activating the closing mechanism. To reduce impact noise, the actuating lever is assigned, during its return movement until its end position is reached, a damping element which exerts on the actuating lever a braking force reduced with decreasing speed of the actuating lever, thus allowing a uniform return of the actuating lever into its end position and consequently an effective minimization of the impact noise.
