A complex lock assembly structure comprises a body, a pressure-cylinder actuator, a door fastener and a mechanical lock. The front of the body has a frame. The pressure-cylinder actuator and the door fastener are disposed on and exposed from the back of the frame. The pressure-cylinder actuator and the door fastener actuate each other. The mechanical lock is disposed inside the frame on the front of the body and used to control and limit the movement of the door fastener.

A system for extending and retracting a handle of a door handle assembly for a door of a vehicle includes a door handle assembly, a control operable to control operation of a motor of an electrically operable actuator of the handle assembly, and a sensing system operable to detect an authorized user. The sensing system, responsive to detecting an authorized user, determines a motion vector of the detected authorized user. The sensing system determines whether the motion vector is indicative of the detected authorized user approaching the door of the vehicle. Responsive to determination that the detected authorized user is approaching the door of the vehicle, the control unlocks the door handle assembly and controls operation of the motor to move a handle portion from a recessed position to a partially extended position so as to be graspable by the user.

The present invention provides a flush pull handle affixable to a door. The handle includes a mounting brace disposed within a door, a mounting assembly including a top portion, bottom portion, first side portion and a second side portion, the mounting assembly affixable to the door via at least one fastener. The mounting assembly includes at least one mounting flange. The handle further includes a pull assembly including an assembly interior portion having a first interior side and a second interior side, the first interior side having at least one flange mount opening. The pull assembly includes an assembly face having a handle flush with the pull assembly extruding across at least a portion of the assembly interior portion.

A latch assembly is provided that includes a housing, a release mechanism and a latch mechanism. The release mechanism includes a handle. Movement of the handle from a retracted position towards an extended position relative to the housing is operable to cause the latch mechanism to change from a latched condition to an unlatched condition. When the latch mechanism changes from an unlatched condition to the latched condition, the latch mechanism is operable to cause the release mechanism to cause the handle to move to the retracted position. When the latch mechanism is in the unlatched condition, the latch mechanism maintains the release mechanism in a configuration that maintains the handle away from the retracted position and provides a visual indication that the latch mechanism is in the unlatched condition.

A door handle apparatus includes: a handle body; a driven member; and a driving mechanism configured such that in a state where the driven member is at a first driving position, the handle body is positioned at a first handle position, and rotated to a second handle position by the driven member driven to a second driving position, and in a state where the driven member is at the second driving position, the handle body is rotatable or unrotatable from the second handle position in a first direction when subjected to a force in the first direction, and rotatable from the second handle position to a second direction opposite to the first direction when subjected to a force in the second direction, and the handle body is urged in the direction of being restored to the second handle position when rotating from the second handle position by the external force.
