  • Patent number: 11486169
    Abstract: An exterior door handle for a vehicle particularly for an activation of an electric lock of the vehicle comprising: a door handle body with a wall, wherein the door handle body is configured such that an activation action is performable by a user at the door handle body in the deformation area, at least one inductive activation means which is arranged in the deformation area, at least one sensor device arranged within the door handle body for inductivity measurements at the activation means, wherein the door handle body is at least configured elastically deformable in the deformation area and the sensor device for the detection of the activation action is arranged spaced apart to the activation means such that the deformation of the door handle body is detectable by the inductivity measurement.

  • Patent number: 11365570
    Abstract: A vehicle door handle assembly with a sensor device for detecting an actuation is provided. A handle of the handle assembly has a section which can be gripped from behind and an outer wall that delimits an interior in which an electronic sensor device is arranged and fixed. The handle section is formed with a reduced outer wall thickness in an actuation region and has a deformability that is increased with respect to the remaining sections of the handle. The outer wall thickness is reduced solely on the outer wall face oriented towards the interior. The handle outer wall inner face oriented towards the interior is coated with a metal layer at least in the actuation region. The electronic sensor device comprises at least one inductive distance sensor which lies opposite the metal layer in the interior of the handle to detect a deformation of the opposing outer wall.

  • Patent number: 10975601
    Abstract: A vehicle door handle with a handle component is provided. The handle component includes a hollow body, and an inductive sensor device is arranged in a cavity in order to detect an actuation of the handle component. A support having a support fastening section and a self-supporting section connected to the latter are arranged in the cavity, wherein the support fastening section is secured to the vehicle door handle, and wherein the self-supporting section of the support extends in the interior of the cavity at a distance from the wall surfaces of the handle component such that the self-supporting section of the support is mechanically decoupled from the wall surfaces of the handle component. The inductive sensor device is held in the self-supporting section, wherein a metallic material is arranged in at least one section of those wall surfaces of the handle component which surround the self-supporting section.
