Patent number: 10920462Abstract: A handle for a vehicle door includes an activation member, a grip member, a driving mechanism, and an actuator lever. The grip member includes a gripping part and is movable between a flushing position, active position, and opening position. In the flushing position, the gripping part extends flush to an external panel of the door. In the active position, the gripping part projects from the external panel, becomes graspable, and the grip member cooperates with the activation member. In the opening position, the grip member drives the activation member to activate the latch to unlatch the door. The driving mechanism and actuator lever cooperate with the grip member to drive the grip member between the flushing position and the active position. When the grip member is pulled in an opening direction, the grip member drives the activation member which in turn activates the latch to unlatch the door.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2016Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: U-SHIN ITALIA S.P.A.Inventors: Anthony Guerin, Siavash Ostovari-Far
