Abstract
An inertial system for a vehicle door handle of a door includes an inertial mass driven by inertia from a rest position in which opening of the door is permitted to a blocking position in which opening of the door is not permitted, a blocking means that prevents opening of the door when the inertial mass is in the blocking position. The inertial system also includes an elastic means being in a minimal tensile stress state when the inertial mass is in rest position and applies a force on the inertial mass to bring the inertial mass from the blocking position to the rest position and a preloading mechanism that cooperates with the elastic means and includes at least two preloading states for enabling the elastic means to have different minimal tensile stress states.
