  • Door handle which is intended, in particular, for a motor vehicle comprising an inertial safety system
    Patent number: 7597368
    Abstract: The invention relates to a door handle which is intended, in particular, for a motor vehicle. The inventive handle comprises a lever (105) which can rotate around a first axis (107) in a frame (101) that is intended to be fixed to the door (102) and which is mechanically connected to a mobile fitting that can be intercepted by a locking element which is articulated to the frame (101) or a body which is solidly connected to the frame, such as to pivot around a third axis (117) from a rest position to an active position. In this way, if pivoted violently, the locking member (116) strikes the aforementioned mobile fitting and prevents same from moving.
