Publication number: 20250346167Abstract: A roof handle for vehicles includes at least one bearing block on which a handle body is held and which can be fixed to an opening on a vehicle roof, the opening being surrounded by an edge, wherein the at least one bearing block includes an insertion part which can be inserted through the opening with at least one clamping body that can be positioned to reach behind the edge of the opening, wherein a latch that can be inserted into the insertion part is provided, by means of which the at least one clamping body can be locked in the position reaching behind the edge. This allows the roof handle to be mounted on the vehicle roof effectively.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2023Publication date: November 13, 2025Applicant: H+E Molding Solutions GmbHInventor: Milto BENJAMIN

Patent number: 11623555Abstract: A roof handle for vehicles comprises a carrier which can be fixed to a vehicle roof and on which a handle body is pivotably mounted, and is pivotable between a holding position, in which a user exerts a substantially downwardly directed weight force on the handle body, and a starting position, in which the handle body is pivoted by a spring into a folded-up position with respect to the vehicle roof, the carrier comprising a molded body made of plastic on which at least one insert made of metal is provided, and the handle body being held on the insert made of metal via bearing elements. As a result, the roof handle can have a low dead weight and be optimally adapted to the geometry of a vehicle roof.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2020Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: HERO GMBHInventors: Volker Steck, Martin Meister, Milto Benjamin

Patent number: 11458876Abstract: A roof handle for a vehicle has two bearing elements which can be fixed to a roof of a vehicle and on which a handle body is mounted so as to be pivotable between a raised position and a lowered holding position. A line for the power supply is provided on at least one bearing element, which line, in a raised position of the handle body, is connected via contacts to an illuminating means on the handle body. Light can be irradiated via the illuminating means into an optical waveguide. This makes the handle body more visible in poor lighting conditions.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2021Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: HERO GmbHInventors: Volker Steck, Martin Meister, Milto Benjamin
