Abstract: A vehicle door handle assembly includes a bracket and a handle. The handle includes a first extremity and a second extremity. The first extremity is configured to move between a rest position, a deployed position outside the bracket, and an opening position to open a latch. The second extremity is configured to move between a rest position, an activation position, and a deployed position outside the bracket. The bracket includes a shock absorber provided in or attached to a rest portion of the bracket. The shock absorber is configured to cooperate with the handle when the second extremity is moved from the rest position to the activation position and when the first extremity and the second extremity are moved together from the deployed position to the rest position.

Abstract: A vehicle door handle assembly includes a housing that sits flush against an outer panel of the vehicle, a rotatable flap housed within the housing, the flap extending along and configured to rotate about a rotation axis between a rest position and a door opening position, a mechanical actuation switch generating an electrical signal to be sent to a vehicle door controller to release the vehicle door. The door assembly includes a cam holder and a cam supported by the cam holder. The cam holder being connected to the flap such that the cam holder is rotatable about the rotation axis and that rotation of the flap causes rotation of the cam holder, rotation of the cam holder causing the cam to activate the switch.

Abstract: A flap system for impairing with an undesired deployment of a handle of a handle arrangement of a motor vehicle includes: a body, an axle and a reversibly deformable member, the body being rotatable around the axle and including a flap and a driving member, the flap system tilting about the axle between a blocking configuration and a disengaged configuration. The reversibly deformable member maintains the flap system in the blocking configuration, the flap system moving to the disengaged position by actuation of the driving member triggering the deformation of the reversibly deformable member and the rotation of the body around the axle. When the flap system is mounted in the handle arrangement, the flap, in the disengaged position, is spaced apart from the handle to allow its deployment and, in the blocking configuration, faces the handle to prevent its deployment.

Abstract: In a vehicle door handle assembly, a first lever rotates between a rest position where a first extremity is in a rest position, a deployed position where the first extremity is outside a bracket, and an opening position where the first lever actuates an opening lever. A second lever rotates between a rest position where a second extremity is in a rest position, an activation position where the second extremity lowers the second lever into the bracket, and a deployed position where the second extremity is outside the bracket. A return lever includes an elastic device biasing it to a first position. Rotation of the second lever to an activation position actuates rotation of the return lever from its first to a second position. Rotation of the return lever from its second to its first position actuates rotation of the second lever from its deployed position to its rest position.

Abstract: A vehicle door handle assembly includes a handle grip that is movable between a flushing position in which it is flush with an exterior door panel surface and a ready position in which it is protruding and graspable by a user. The vehicle door handle assembly also includes a back-up mechanism that includes a flap covering at least partially a cavity arranged inside the handle grip, the flap being movable between a closed position in which it covers the cavity inside the handle grip and an open position in which it permits access to the inside of the cavity, hence allowing a user to insert his fingers or an object inside the cavity and to pull on the handle grip in order to move it from the flushing position to the ready position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle door handle assembly (1) comprising a handle (2) comprising a first extremity (22) and a second extremity (23) opposed to the first extremity (22), the first extremity (22) being connected to a first lever (3) connected to an opening lever, said first lever (3) rotating between a rest position where the first extremity (22) is in a rest position, a deployed position where the first extremity (22) is in a deployed position outside the bracket (10) and an opening position where the first lever (3) actuates the opening lever, the second extremity (23) being connected to a second lever (4) rotating between a rest position where the second extremity (23) is a rest position, an activation position where the second extremity (23) is pushed into the bracket (10), and a deployed position where the second extremity (23) is in a deployed position outside the bracket (10), the vehicle door handle assembly (1) also comprising a return lever (5) connected to the second lever (4),

Abstract: The a detection device is configured to activate at least one function of an apparatus, for example activating an electric lock of a vehicle's door, upon the detection of a force applied to an activation part of the apparatus. The apparatus includes a fixed part. The activation part is fixedly attached to the fixed part. The detection device includes a blade and at least one sensor. The blade includes a first bearing part configured to bear against the activation part and a second bearing part configured to bear against the fixed part. The at least one sensor is arranged on the blade and is configured to measure a deformation of the blade when a force is applied on the activation part and collect a deformation signal to be transmitted to a controller. The at least one sensor includes a first sensor arranged between the first and second bearing parts.
