Abstract
An operating device for unlocking at least one swivellable lid of a vehicle, particularly a motor vehicle, is arranged on the interior side of a side member and comprises a bearing housing and at least one swivellable operating grip. For achieving an operating device which can be manufactured and mounted in a simple manner and at reasonable cost and for achieving an effective protection against theft, it is provided that the bearing housing is constructed in one piece with an elongated interior side member panel and in that the at least one swivellable operating grip has a molded-on part on its free ends which points to the exterior side of the vehicle and which, when the vehicle door is closed, reaches in sections under an interior door covering such that a swivelling-up of the operating grip and thus an unlocking of the lid is prevented.
