  • Publication number: 20240093541
    Abstract: A device for identifying a position of a grip member of a vehicle handle includes a cam rotatably movable inside the device around an axis fixed relative to the grip member. The cam is rotatably secured to a lever, which is rotatably movable around the axis, so that an angular position of the cam around the axis is directly related to an angular position of the lever around the axis. The angular position of the lever is also mechanically related to the position of the grip member. The device includes at least one switch secured to the handle and complementary to a member of the cam, so that the at least one switch is configured to be in electrical contact with the member of the cam when the angular position of the cam is equal to one or more predetermined angular positions around the axis.

  • Publication number: 20230304332
    Abstract: A declutching system for handle arrangement of a motor vehicle includes: an axle whereon are arranged a housing and a declutching member. The declutching system presents two positions: a clutch position wherein the declutching member blocks the housing in rotation around the axle by cooperating with at least one cam of the housing, and a declutch position wherein the declutching member allows the housing to rotate around the axle. The declutching member includes a body to which extends at least one reversible deformable leg. In the clutched position, the at least one reversible deformable leg cooperates with the at least one cam of the housing and blocks into rotation the housing around the axle. In the declutched position, the at least one reversible deformable leg is deformed in the direction of the body and thereof enabling the rotationally displacement of the housing around the axle.

The declutching system presents a clutch position wherein the declutching member blocks the housing in rotation around the axle by cooperating with a cam of the housing, and a declutch position wherein the declutching member allows the housing to rotate around the axle. The declutching member includes a pivotable arranged lever and an elastic member, the lever provided with a head at its free end cooperating with the elastic member. In the clutch position, the head of the lever cooperates with the cam of the housing to prevent the housing from rotating about the axle and is maintained in position by the elastic member. In the declutch position, the head of the lever compresses the elastic member enabling rotationally displacement of the housing around the axle.

  • Patent number: 10710551
    Abstract: An ignition device for a motor of an automotive vehicle is provided that the device includes a rotor configured to receive a key and mounted in rotation on a bracket, the rotor including a retainer configured to retain the rotor in translation relative to the bracket, and a first push back device configured to apply a linear force between the bracket and the rotor along an axis parallel to the axis of the rotation of the rotor. The bracket and the retainer are configured to cooperate so as to inhibit the rotation of the rotor in a predetermined direction from a predetermined angular position and to allow the rotation of the rotor beyond the predetermined angular position in the predetermined direction upon preliminarily applying a force on the rotor in an opposite direction to the direction of the linear force applied by the first push back device.
