Patent number: 11866965Abstract: An electronic handle for a vehicle door including an electronic device, an activation lever, and a bracket. The electronic device electronically activates a latch of the vehicle door. The activation lever is configured to rotate around an activation lever axis between a rest position in which the activation lever is released, and a mechanical activation position in which the activation lever is actuated for mechanically activating the latch of the vehicle door in case of default of the electronic device. The bracket receives the activation lever. The activation lever comprises a driving element pivotally connected to the activation lever, and the bracket comprises a flexible blade with a stop element.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2021Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: U-SHIN ITALIA S.P.A.Inventors: Massimo Frattini, Anthony Guerin, Antonio Rocci, Thomas Devernois

Publication number: 20230417090Abstract: A handle assembly for a vehicle door includes a flush handle including a grip member and an actuator. The grip member is configured to cooperate with a latch mechanism to unlatch the door. The grip member is rotatable about a horizontal axis. The actuator is configured to move the grip member from a flush position to a deployed position. In the flush position, the grip member extends flush to an external panel of the door. In the deployed position, the grip member projects with respect to the external panel of the vehicle door. The grip member is manually movable about the horizontal axis from the flush position to a retracted position in which the grip member is retracted inside a recess of the vehicle door. The flush handle further includes a deployment device configured to permit the grip member to automatically move from the retracted position to the deployed position.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Applicant: U-Shin Italia S.p.A.Inventors: Anthony GUERIN, Antonio ROCCI

Patent number: 11454052Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: U-Shin Italia S.p.A.Inventors: Anthony Guerin, Antonio Rocci, Siavash Ostovari-Far
