  • Patent number: 10563437
    Abstract: The invention relates to a handle device (10) for a closing device (80) for a movable part (70), such as a door, flap or the like, of a vehicle (100) comprising a handle part (20) which can be supported in a movable manner relative to the movable part (70). The closing device (80) can be connected to the handle part (20) via a connection element (16), and the handle part (20) is used to actuate the closing device (80). The handle part (20) can be moved at least between a rest position (Ia) and an operating position (Ib). In the rest position (Ia), the handle part (20) can be designed to be flush with the outer contour of the movable part (70) in particular, and in the operating position (Ib), the handle part (20) can protrude from the movable part (70) such that the handle part (20) can be gripped by an operator.

  • Patent number: 9637956
    Abstract: A door handle assembly for a motor vehicle includes an operating handle, a coupling device, and a locking device which is moveably retained on a handle mounting. An acceleration force can move the assembly from a resting position in which an actuation of the operating handle is possible, in a first blocking direction in which an actuation of the assembly by the operating handle and/or the coupling device is blocked. The locking device can move from the resting position in a second blocking direction when acted on by an acceleration force, in which an actuation of the assembly via the operating handle and/or the coupling device is blocked, wherein the second blocking direction is in the opposite direction from the first blocking direction. Movement of the assembly is blocked by the operating handle, or the coupling device, even with alternating acceleration forces resulting from a crash.

  • Patent number: 9637949
    Abstract: A door handle arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a handle support, a handle, a coupling device, a locking device and a retaining element. When an accelerating force is applied in a first direction, as a result of a motor vehicle accident, the retaining element moves from a basic position in which it is possible to actuate the handle into a direction of blockage in which an actuation of the locking system by the handle and/or the coupling device is blocked. The locking device reliably and securely blocks the handle or the coupling device in the event of a collision. This is achieved in that the retaining element is designed to move from the basic position into the particular direction of blockage when an accelerating force resulting from a motor vehicle accident is applied in a second direction that is opposite of the first direction.
