Publication number: 20200080351Abstract: A device for unlocking a door lock associated with a door handle mounted in order to slide in an aperture in the door between an inoperative position wherein the handle is flush with the door and an operative position wherein the handle projects from the door includes a cylinder supported by a holder directly or indirectly attached to the door. The cylinder is connected to an element for unlocking the lock via a part for moving the lock unlocking element, and the cylinder is mounted in the part in order to extend towards the handle at an angle to a direction normal to the door. In one form, the angle is sufficient to allow the cylinder to be introduced into the housing when the handle is in the operative position.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2019Publication date: March 12, 2020Applicant: U-Shin Italia S.p.A.Inventors: Anthony GUERIN, Bruno Vilotta, Thomas Lanno, Emilien Desegher

Publication number: 20180245380Abstract: A handle for a vehicle door is provided that includes an activation member configured to activate a latch of a vehicle door and a grip member that cooperates with the activation member to unlatch the door. The grip member is movable between a flush position where a gripping part extends flush to an external panel of the door, an active position where the gripping part is graspable by projecting from the panel and the grip member cooperates with the activation member, and an opening position where the grip member drives the activation member to activate the latch and unlatch the door. In one form, a driving mechanism and actuator lever drives the grip member between the flush and 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: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2018Publication date: August 30, 2018Applicant: U-Shin Italia S.p.A.Inventors: Anthony GUERIN, Antonio ROCCI, Siavash OSTOVARI-FAR
