Door handle assembly for a vehicle door

Abstract

The invention relates to a door handle assembly (3) for a vehicle door (2), comprising a handle (4) which is mounted on a handle housing (8), a lever element (10), and a lever mechanism (16) which isrotatably mounted on the handle housing (8). A longitudinal end (20) of the handle (4) is movably secured to the handle housing (8) via the lever mechanism (16), and the lever element (10) is coupledto the lever mechanism (16) so as to transmit a movement such that when the handle (4) is moved out of the non-use position into the actuation position the lever element (10) rotates about a lever rotational axis (12) and simultaneously the lever mechanism (16) rotates about the rotational axis (21). The lever element (10) extends a longitudinal end (9) of the handle (4) out of the outer contour (7) when the rotation about the lever rotational axis (12) begins, and the lever mechanism (16) extends the other longitudinal end (20) of the handle (4) out of the outer contour (7) when the rotationabout the rotational axis (21) begins after a dead center (72) of the handle lever (22) is exceeded.

Description

technical field The present invention relates to a door handle arrangement for a vehicle door, wherein the door handle arrangement comprises: a handle housing which can be fastened to the vehicle door; a handle supported on the handle housing, the handle being arranged in a non-use position with The outer contour profile of the door extends flush, and the handle is configured to be movable for operator manipulation to an operating position in which the handle extends relative to the outer contour of the door and can be manipulated to open by the operator a vehicle door; and a lever element, a first lever end of the lever element is rotatably mounted on a lever shaft supported on the handle housing, and a second lever end of the lever element is rotatably connected to the handle The first longitudinal end of the connection. Background technique Door handle arrangements are known from the prior art in which the handle extends flush with the outer contour profile of the vehicl...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In this case, the handle is moved out in parallel with its two longitudinal sides in a known manner, which causes problems especially when there is ice on the handle and the drive provided for moving the handle has to be defined as Powerful sized such that the drive must first break or crush the ice to enable removal if the handle freezes
