Embodiment Construction

[0026] The exterior door handle shown in FIG. 1 comprises a housing part 2 adapted to be fixed on a vehicle door, a handle part 6 supported by a pivot arm 12 , wherein in the present example the handle part 6 is a hinged handle so as to pivot about an axis 4 Open the door instead. When the handle part 6 is operated, the lock coupling bracket 24 connected to the lock (not shown) of the vehicle closing device is pivoted to open the vehicle door.

[0027] A return spring 22 is supported on the shaft 4 and generates a spring force between the receiving part 2 and the handle part 6 when the handle part 6 is pivoted, the return spring holds the handle part in the rest position with a predetermined biasing force.

[0028] On the shaft 4 of the handle part 6, said shaft extending horizontally in this embodiment, a mass part 10 is pivotally supported between the bearings 15 of said shaft, due to the inertia of the mass, in the event of a side impact, the mass part moves along the direc...

Abstract

The invention relates to an outside door handle for a closing device of a motor vehicle, comprising: a housing part (2) fastened to a door of the motor vehicle; a handle part (6), which is mounted in the housing part (2) in a manner that enables it to pivot about a shaft (4) and which serves to open the door, and; a blocking device the prevents the handle part (6) from moving in an opening direction in the event of a side impact upon the door. To this end, the invention provides that the blocking device consists of a mass element (10), which is pivotally mounted inside the housing part (2) and which, in the event of a side impact, executes a pivotal motion due to the inertia of masses, and consists of a blocking element (14), which is coupled to the mass element (10) and, for the duration of the deflection of the mass element (10), can be displaced in such a manner that the blocking element (14) temporarily prevents the handle part (2) from moving.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an exterior door handle for a closing device for a vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a method according to the preamble of claim 17 . Background technique [0002] So-called mass locks are known which, in the event of a side impact on the door, prevent the handle part from pivoting and thus the door from opening due to the acceleration acting on the handle part of the outer door handle. [0003] However, it has been found that simply providing a mass lock does not reliably prevent the door from opening in the event of a side impact. [0004] Known from DE-A-196 25 392 is an automatic locking device for an exterior door handle of a vehicle, wherein the pivotable part arranged on the handle part is provided with a tooth, when the pivotable part is When being impacted by the side and performing pivotal movement, the side teeth cooperate with the locking part fixedly arranged on the receiving part. However, if t...
