Abstract: A door handle for motor vehicles includes a handle body and a cover which cooperate to form a handle for a user. An accommodating space for electronic components is formed between the handle body and the cover. A capacitive proximity sensor is arranged in the space. The sensor has an active capacitive face directed towards the cover for detecting approaching movements. The capacitive face is coupled to an evaluation circuit which detects changes in the capacitance of the capacitive face. A sealing element composed of a closed-cell foam is located in the space. The sealing element has at least one continuous opening spaced from an edge. The opening is located above the active face of the proximity sensor and is compressed between the cover and the handle body with the result that at least one area above the active face of the sensor is free of foam.

Abstract: A security system having an inner door handle of a door for a vehicle. The door is brought into a locked and unlocked state with a locking system. The security system includes an actuator triggering an actuation process for opening a lock of the locking system when activated, and an identification element detecting an approach around a zone of the actuator or a contact with the actuator when the identification has been positive. The locking system has an unblocked mode wherein the locking system is in the unlocked state and the actuator is effectively connected to the lock. A control unit is in data communication with the locking system and identification element. The control unit puts the locking system in the unblocked mode once the identification has been positive and the vehicle outputs an unblocking signal such that the actuation process is triggered by activating the actuator.
