Patent number: 11686133Abstract: The opening control includes a handle pivotally mounted on a support prone to adopt a pushed position, an intermediate rest position and an ejected position as well as electrical and mechanical means for driving in movement the handle and coupled with the handle of the vehicle such that the application of a predefined force on the handle causes the mechanical or electrical activation. It includes a hard point crossing means configured to define a pattern of evolution of a value of a force applied on the handle as a function of a push-in stroke of the handle between its rest position and the pushed position, including a crossing of a hard point separating first and second portions of the stroke.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2019Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: AKWEL VIGO SPAIN SLInventors: Delmiro Javier Couto Maquieira, Alberto Diez Estevez, Javier Casal Gomez, Jose Oscar Vazquez Carballo, Julio Garcia Rodriguez

Publication number: 20230081813Abstract: A device includes a support, a handle mounted pivotably with respect to the support, a lever for actuating a lock of the door configured to cooperate with an extension element of the handle extending transversely from an inner face of the handle. Moreover, the lever is mounted movable on an axis of articulation of the support against a resilient return member between a first rest configuration of the member in which it extends across a path of the extension element to generate a stress resisting the pivoting of the handle and a second configuration of actuation of the lock in which it is driven in rotation about said axis by the extension element during the pivoting of the handle after having overcome the resisting stress.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Applicant: AKWEL VIGO SPAIN SLInventors: Delmiro Javier COUTO MAQUIEIRA, José Oscar VAZQUEZ CARBALLO, Oscar PAMPIN AGRA, Julio GARCIA RODRIGUEZ

Publication number: 20230049181Abstract: A bracket to be mounted in a cut-out in a panel of the door, a gripping handle hingedly mounted with respect to the bracket. The handle includes a body of generally elongate shape having an end portion for hinging to the bracket about a hinge axis substantially parallel to the plane of the panel of the door and substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the handle. The bracket has a body of casing defining a cavity open to the outside, which the handle partially closes off in a rest position leaving a concave access recess for gripping an internal face of the handle.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2022Publication date: February 16, 2023Applicant: AKWEL VIGO SPAIN SLInventors: Delmiro Javier COUTO MAQUIEIRA, José Oscar VAZQUEZ CARBALLO, Oscar PAMPIN AGRA, Julio GARCIA RODRIGUEZ

Patent number: 11542729Abstract: The system includes a bracket, a handle pivotally mounted about a handle axis and including a main gripping branch and a secondary branch each extending on either side of the handle axis, a safety device configured to block an ejection of the handle towards its open position in the event of an impact. The device includes a blocking pawl elastically biased into a position of blocking the pivoting of the secondary branch according to a handle ejection direction and at least one lever for releasing the secondary branch in the ejection direction, the release lever being configured to drive the pawl, against its elastic biasing force, into a release position of the secondary branch, consecutively to a manual mechanical action of pushing in the handle from its flush position and/or to the triggering of an electric actuation for ejecting the handle from its flush position.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2020Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: AKWEL VIGO SPAIN SLInventors: Delmiro Javier Couto Maquieira, Alberto Diez Estevez, Jose Oscar Vazquez Carballo

Patent number: 11519204Abstract: An opening control has a case and a handle mounted so as to tilt about an axis relative to the case between at least one rest position and an ejected position, a lever for pivoting the handle in ejection and/or retraction and electrical actuation element of the pivot lever. The lever is configured to pivot about an axis common to the handle and has a member for elastically returning into a return position in which it is adapted to retain the handle in its rest position. The actuation element is configured to make the lever pivot against the return force of the return member so as to drive in its rotational movement the handle from its rest position to its ejected position.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2019Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: AKWEL VIGO SPAIN SLInventors: Delmiro Javier Couto Maquieira, Alberto Diez Estevez, Javier Casal Gomez, Jose Oscar Vazquez Carballo, Julio Garcia Rodriguez

Publication number: 20220269299Abstract: The pedal assembly includes a support, a pedal mounted pivoting around a pivot axle of the support and an articulated connection, the connection being configured to connect the pedal to a transverse return bar connected to a control device, provided to be mounted on the other side of the vehicle, such that the application of a functional torque for driving the pedal around the axle from a raised configuration to a depressed configuration drives the rotation of the bar. The pedal assembly includes a member for adjusting a functional clearance of the pedal, the member being configured to exert a resistive torque on the pivot axle of the pedal in a direction opposite to the direction of the functional torque, which tends to disappear during the depression of the pedal.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2022Publication date: August 25, 2022Applicant: AKWELInventors: Juan CARCELEN, Christophe GREGOIRE, Christophe DEVARENNE, José Oscar VAZQUEZ CARBALLO
