Patent number: 7600795Abstract: A vehicular door handle assembly comprises a secondary latch with a default active condition for preventing inadvertent opening of a door during an impact, such as a collision. The door handle assembly comprises a primary actuator and a secondary actuator in operative communication with the secondary latch for selective deactivation thereof. When the user's hand grasps and pulls the primary actuator in a normal fashion to open the vehicle door, the user's hand simultaneously grasps the secondary actuator and moves the secondary actuator to deactivate the secondary latch and allow movement of the primary actuator and thereby open the vehicular door.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2007Date of Patent: October 13, 2009Assignee: ADAC Plastics, Inc.Inventors: Jerry Cummins, Jim Larabel, Brian L.
