  • Publication number: 20170159332
    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.

  • Patent number: 9669669
    Abstract: A structurally simple tire monitoring system for a vehicle, for establishing tire-specific parameters, includes a valve stem with an attachment section, a fastening element and a tire air pressure sensor with a housing that has a mounting region. When the fastening element is in a locking position, the attachment section and the mounting region are releasably connected to one another using the fastening element. This is achieved in that the mounting region of the fastening element is movably supported between the locking position and an unlocking position, in which the mounting region and the attachment section can be released from one another. An elastic latching element is provided, which allows a movement of the fastening element relative to the housing toward the unlocking position, counter to a pressure exerted by the latching element. The latching element presses the fastening element into the locking position.

  • 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.
