The invention relates to an external door handle for the side door, rear door or boot of a motor vehicle, said door handle being fitted with a flap (1) that retracts automatically when the handle is used. The flap is fitted with a sensor (5) which detects the presence of a hand opposite said flap. When the flap is not in use, it is closed in such a way as to be perfectly flush with the external surface (2) of the door and it is held in position by a spring recall system. An actuation device, which is controlled by a computer, is designed to retract the flap at the appropriate moment in order to provide access to the door opening control (8). Said flap system can be connected to an electric-or mechanical-type-opening control. The inventive handle affords the advantage of being very practical to use and having a value-enhancing style and appearance.

An outer door handle for vehicles has a stationary housing in the vehicle door. The handle has a handle arm and acts on a lock arranged within the door. A pivotable latching member serves as a mass latching mechanism and makes the handle actuatable in a release position. Because of its inertia in a crash situation, the latching member reaches an active support position and blocks the handle. The pivot bearing for the latching member is located on the stationary housing. The movable handle arm has a shoulder. A counter shoulder is provided on the latching member. The folding movement path of the shoulder on the handle arm is intersected by the pivot movement path of the counter shoulder. In a crash situation the shoulder comes to rest against the counter shoulder. In the release position, the shoulder passes the counter shoulder upon handle actuation.

An exterior frame is formed of extruded, non-metallic stiles, header and base all having a common hollow cross section. The frame can be used in a door or window. The extruded material is a composite of wood fibers and resin which has been cured and has a common cross section. The extruded material can be enclosed within a polyvinyl chloride cap layer.

A door hold open and controlled release mechanism is designed for usage in a doorway system having an inner door, an outer door and a door closer. It includes a catch mechanism and a catch release mechanism. The catch mechanism holds the outer door, typically a screen door or storm door, in an open position against the closing tendency of the door closer. Movement of the inner door to an open position then toward a closed position triggers the catch release mechanism which allows the outer door to close under the urging of the door closer.

A door sill and a sealing mechanism engage one another analogously to a rack and pinion in order to automatically create a weather-resistant closure at the gap between an inswinging exterior door bottom and the floor below. The sealing mechanism, which fastens to the door bottom, contains a door-wide rotating shaft with an arm extension tipped with a flexible seal. On the underside of the shaft extension is a short “pinion” component with elongated teeth that engage in corresponding recesses in the sill, raising and lowering the seal in the process. The pinion is positioned on the far lock side of the door, so that the teeth engage and the seal begins to drop only when the door is nearly closed. As the door opens and the seal rises, a magnet further retracts the shaft extension and retains it until the door is again closed.

The doorknob with a lock has a bolt assembly, a lock activating assembly, an outer doorknob assembly and an inner doorknob assembly. The bolt assembly is mounted in a door and has a bolt head and a rotatable plug. The lock activating assembly has a base, a head, an outer clutch plate and an inner clutch plate. The base and the head respectively have an annular longitudinal protrusion, and the base is covered by the annular longitudinal protrusion. Each annular longitudinal protrusion has two opposite gaps. The outer and inner clutch plates respectively have a long protruding end, a short end, a longitudinal slot and a transverse slot. The ends of the clutch plates are slidably mounted in the gaps in the annular longitudinal protrusion, and the long protruding ends selectively engage the gaps in the annular longitudinal protrusion to lock and unlock the door.

A rail ballast wing assembly includes a outer door with at least one hinge edge, a template door pivotably secured to least one of the hinge edges and a positioning device associated with the outer door and the template door for maintaining an angular orientation of the template door relative to the outer door. A breakaway mechanism is connected to the positioning device and the template door and configured for temporarily disengaging the template door from the positioning device upon exposure to impact forces. The breakaway mechanism preferably includes a plate connecting the positioning device to the template door, and being disengageable from the template door. A top pin on the outer door is pivotably secured to a top plate through the use of at least one retainer bracket.

A vehicle door includes a powered latch configured to selectively retain the door in a closed position when the powered latch is latched, and permits the door to be opened when the powered latch is unlatched. The vehicle door further includes an exterior door handle having an outer side that faces away from the door structure, and an inner side that is spaced apart from an outer surface of the door to define a gap. A force sensor on the exterior door handle detects impact forces on the handle. The door also includes an unlatch switch that can be actuated by a user to request unlatching of the powered latch. A controller is configured to deny an unlatch request generated by actuation of the unlatch switch if the force sensor detects an impact on the exterior handle.

Disclosed is a retractable door handle assembly for a vehicle. The assembly includes: a retractable door handle installed in a door of the vehicle to be projected or retracted further to the outside in a width direction of the vehicle than a outer door panel constituting the door; and a linkage connected to the door handle to support the door handle so that the door handle pops out to the outside in the width direction of the vehicle and pops in to the inside in the width direction of the vehicle. The linkage includes a main link having one end connected to the door handle, and an auxiliary link having one end connected to the main link to support a pivot movement of the main link, and as a result, pop-out and pop-in operations of the door handle can be stably performed.

A handle assembly unlatches a door latch to open a door of a motor vehicle. The handle assembly includes a housing secured to the door. The housing defines a well. A handle is pivotally secured to the housing for movement between a rest position and actuating positions into and out of the well.
