Abstract: A vehicle door handle assembly includes an actuating element, which is actuated by a user gripping the handle from behind. The actuating element protrudes outward through a recess in the handle from an inner cavity through a wall of the handle over an outer contour of the handle. The actuating element is movable through the recess in the direction of the handle inner cavity against an elastic restoring force. The actuating element is at least in sections made of a metal. Located inside the handle is a stationary electric module with an inductive distance sensor so that when the actuating element moves, the distance of the actuating element in relation to the inductive distance sensor changes. An evaluation unit detects the signals of the inductive distance sensor, detects an actuation as a function of the signals, and provides an output signal.

Abstract: A door handle assembly for a motor vehicle includes an operating handle moveably supported on a handle mounting, a mechanical coupling device and a locking device. An acceleration force can move the locking device from a normal operating position, in which an actuation of the operating handle is possible, in a first blocking direction, in which an actuation of the closing assembly via the operating handle and/or the coupling device, is blocked. The locking device also blocks the door handle assembly when long lasting or strongly pronounced oscillations occur as a result of a crash. In that event, the locking device can move from the normal operating position in a second blocking direction, in which an actuation of the closing assembly via the operating handle and/or the coupling device is blocked, wherein the second blocking direction is oriented opposite the first blocking direction.

Abstract: A vehicle door handle includes a sensor assembly for detecting an operation request. The door handle is fixed and actuates an electric lock. The sensor assembly includes a first capacitive sensor arranged in the door handle and oriented towards an inner side of the handle. It monitors a first handle section gripped when actuating the handle. Second and third sensors are arranged along an axial extension of the handle. The second sensor is oriented towards an outer side of the handle and monitors a touching from the outer side in a second handle section. The third sensor is oriented towards the inner side of the handle and monitors a touching from the inner side. The electronic control and evaluation device generates an opening signal when both the capacitive sensor detects a gripping of the door handle and the second sensor and the third sensor simultaneously each detect a touching.

Abstract: The invention relates to a door handle assembly of a motor vehicle, having a mount that can be attached to the inside of a door, a handle that can be disposed on the outside of the door, a door latch, which can be opened both mechanically as well as electrically, and a sensor electronics assembly for detecting an actuation of the handle. A mechanical retaining element exerts a retaining force on a second longitudinal end of the handle, and retains the handle in a non-pivoted position. The sensor electronics assembly electrically opens the door when an actuation with a force that is lower than the return force is detected, and the handle remains un-pivoted thereby. The handle can be pivoted into an emergency actuation position when the handle is actuated with a force that is greater than the retaining force, in which case the handle mechanically opens the door.

Abstract: A door handle assembly for a motor vehicle has a handle mount, a handle and a coupling device, wherein the handle is coupled to the coupling device in the region of its second handle end which provides a door handle assembly in a structurally simple manner, in which the play in the longitudinal direction of the handle mount, and thus the clearance in the opening in the door panel for the handle ends, is reduced to a minimum. This is achieved in that the second handle end of the handle and a deflection lever of the mechanical coupling device are moveably coupled to one another by a pivotable and hinge-like articulated connection of the second handle end in relation to the deflection lever, when the handle has been actuated.
