  • Publication number: 20210172207
    Abstract: A door leaf handle for a motor vehicle and an assembly including the handle includes a bracket and a gripping element is movable relative thereto between a rest position, a primary door opening position and a secondary door opening position. At least one breakable stop limits displacement of the gripping element in the primary door opening position if pulling force applied is less than a predetermined force value and configured to break if a pulling force applied on the gripping element exceeds the predetermined value and to allow the displacement of the gripping element beyond the primary door opening position to the secondary door opening position. A primary door opening trigger is activated by displacement of the gripping element in the primary door opening position. A secondary mechanical door opening trigger is activated by displacement of the gripping element in the secondary door opening position.

  • Patent number: 10920462
    Abstract: 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.
