Door handle of a vehicle with a tension means

Abstract

The invention relates to a door handle (10) for a vehicle door of a motor vehicle, with a removable cover element (11), in particular for covering a lock cylinder (101), wherein the lock cylinder (101) is provided for unlocking and locking a door lock, and wherein the cover element (11) can be transferred between at least two positions (I, II), specifically a covered position (I), in which in particular the lock cylinder (101) is covered by the cover element (11) so as to be inaccessible from the outside, and an open position (II), in which in particular the cylinder lock (101) is uncovered by the cover element (11), and a tension means (12) for actuating the door lock, wherein the tension means (12) can be mechanically operatively connected with the cover element (11) in the open position (II) of the cover element (11), so as to actuate the door lock by pulling on the cover element (11). It is also possible to initially detach the tension means from the cover element, for example by undoing a corresponding connection between the tension means and cover element, such as a form- and / or force fitting connection, clip and / or clamp connection, bayonet connection or the like, and then initiate the opening process directly on the tension means. To this end, the invention proposes that a triggering device (14) be provided for the cover element (11), so as to automatically transfer the cover element (11) into the open position (II), in particular in an emergency situation.

Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of fixed door handles is that, in the event of an accident, rescuers are hindered from providing first aid when they may not be familiar with fixed door handles and therefore do not know how to open the door.

A further disadvantage is that the cover element can be damaged or scratched by manual lifting

In addition, it is not easy to find covering elements that are usually painted in the color of the body

However, it is also possible for a movable door handle to cause the door handle to jam, the lock cylinder remains covered and the door lock cannot thus be opened disadvantageously in an emergency

In the worst case it can lead to too late first aid
