  • Publication number: 20210095497
    Abstract: The invention relates to a handle device (1) for a movable part, in particular a door or a lid, of a motor vehicle, which is designed with a, in particular fixed, handle part (10) for actuating the movable part, and a carrier element (20) for fixing the handle part (10) to the movable part.

  • Patent number: 10000946
    Abstract: An arresting element for a blocking element of a locking device of a vehicle door, with a fixing area for fixing the arresting element at the locking device, a sensor area for detecting a deformation of a door panel of the vehicle, particularly an inner door panel, which is directed towards the interior of the vehicle, and an arresting area for arresting the blocking element.

  • Patent number: 9637949
    Abstract: A door handle arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a handle support, a handle, a coupling device, a locking device and a retaining element. When an accelerating force is applied in a first direction, as a result of a motor vehicle accident, the retaining element moves from a basic position in which it is possible to actuate the handle into a direction of blockage in which an actuation of the locking system by the handle and/or the coupling device is blocked. The locking device reliably and securely blocks the handle or the coupling device in the event of a collision. This is achieved in that the retaining element is designed to move from the basic position into the particular direction of blockage when an accelerating force resulting from a motor vehicle accident is applied in a second direction that is opposite of the first direction.

  • Patent number: 9637956
    Abstract: A door handle assembly for a motor vehicle includes an operating handle, a coupling device, and a locking device which is moveably retained on a handle mounting. An acceleration force can move the assembly from a resting position in which an actuation of the operating handle is possible, in a first blocking direction in which an actuation of the assembly by the operating handle and/or the coupling device is blocked. The locking device can move from the resting position in a second blocking direction when acted on by an acceleration force, in which an actuation of the assembly via the operating handle and/or the coupling device is blocked, wherein the second blocking direction is in the opposite direction from the first blocking direction. Movement of the assembly is blocked by the operating handle, or the coupling device, even with alternating acceleration forces resulting from a crash.

  • Publication number: 20160097222
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arresting element (30) for a blocking element (20) of a locking device of a vehicle door (100), with a fixing area (31) for fixing the arresting element (30) at the locking device, a sensor area (33) for detecting a deformation of a door panel (101, 102) of the vehicle, particularly an inner door panel (102), which is directed towards the interior of the vehicle, and an arresting area (35) for arresting the blocking element (20).
