  • Patent number: 11686133
    Abstract: The opening control includes a handle pivotally mounted on a support prone to adopt a pushed position, an intermediate rest position and an ejected position as well as electrical and mechanical means for driving in movement the handle and coupled with the handle of the vehicle such that the application of a predefined force on the handle causes the mechanical or electrical activation. It includes a hard point crossing means configured to define a pattern of evolution of a value of a force applied on the handle as a function of a push-in stroke of the handle between its rest position and the pushed position, including a crossing of a hard point separating first and second portions of the stroke.

  • Publication number: 20230081813
    Abstract: A device includes a support, a handle mounted pivotably with respect to the support, a lever for actuating a lock of the door configured to cooperate with an extension element of the handle extending transversely from an inner face of the handle. Moreover, the lever is mounted movable on an axis of articulation of the support against a resilient return member between a first rest configuration of the member in which it extends across a path of the extension element to generate a stress resisting the pivoting of the handle and a second configuration of actuation of the lock in which it is driven in rotation about said axis by the extension element during the pivoting of the handle after having overcome the resisting stress.

  • Publication number: 20230049181
    Abstract: A bracket to be mounted in a cut-out in a panel of the door, a gripping handle hingedly mounted with respect to the bracket. The handle includes a body of generally elongate shape having an end portion for hinging to the bracket about a hinge axis substantially parallel to the plane of the panel of the door and substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the handle. The bracket has a body of casing defining a cavity open to the outside, which the handle partially closes off in a rest position leaving a concave access recess for gripping an internal face of the handle.

  • Patent number: 11519204
    Abstract: An opening control has a case and a handle mounted so as to tilt about an axis relative to the case between at least one rest position and an ejected position, a lever for pivoting the handle in ejection and/or retraction and electrical actuation element of the pivot lever. The lever is configured to pivot about an axis common to the handle and has a member for elastically returning into a return position in which it is adapted to retain the handle in its rest position. The actuation element is configured to make the lever pivot against the return force of the return member so as to drive in its rotational movement the handle from its rest position to its ejected position.

  • Patent number: 11512508
    Abstract: The control comprises a handle flush mounted in a support and a kinematic chain for driving the handle in movement, comprising at least one rotary element for driving the handle in angular movement and at least one driving member configured to accumulate mechanical energy by mechanical work during a push-in action of the handle and to restitute mechanical energy to the drive kinematic chain after release of the handle. The handle includes a means for stabilizing the kinematic chain configured to limit the angulation of the rotary element of the chain during the push-in of the handle.

  • Patent number: 10954702
    Abstract: The opening control includes a handle, movable in rotation relative to the casing at least between leveling, ejection and opening positions, an ejection lever connected to the handle by at least one common axis of rotation with this handle and an electric actuator for controlling a pivoting of the ejection lever between at least one ejection position and a non-ejection position. In particular, the opening control includes a biasing member connected to the ejection lever and configured to exert a force for returning the lever towards the ejection position according to an ejection direction of rotation, and means for blocking the lever in its non-ejection position. The blocking means are capable of cooperating with the lever in order to release the lever when the handle is displaced in a direction of rotation opposite to the ejection direction, by application of an external push force on the handle.
