  • Patent number: 11955967
    Abstract: Disclosed is an assembly of a non-magnetic and metallic target for an inductive sensor and its support, the target being flexible under pressure and under the release of the pressure in a reciprocating movement toward and away from the support. The target includes a central portion surrounded by flexible fixing tabs, a first end of which is secured to the central portion and a second end of which is fixed to the support, the fixing tabs being evenly distributed around the central portion, a first portion of each fixing tab closest to the central portion being stiffer relative to a portion of the fixing tab farthest away from the central portion.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11255111
    Abstract: An electronic push button for a motor vehicle door handle, including an activation pattern supported by a membrane that is flexible in the direction of an electric switch carried by a printed circuit board, the activation pattern defining an activation surface that is pressed by an operator's finger in order to push the activation pattern in the direction of the electric switch. The activation pattern is made up of a set of studs that extend parallel to one another away from the electric switch, with the majority of the studs being spaced apart from one another, the set of studs discontinuously delimiting an outer contour of the activation surface of the electronic push button.
