A structure can be used for connecting a door latch cable to a retractable outside door handle assembly for a vehicle. A mounting housing is inserted into a case of the retractable outside door handle assembly in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle and hanged by and mounted at the case in a height direction of the vehicle. A door latch cable is movably installed at the mounting housing.

A vehicular door structure includes a door handle provided in a door panel that configures a part of a vehicular door, a latch mechanism provided in the vehicular door and configured to be engaged with a striker provided on a vehicle body, an unlatch portion provided in the door handle and configured to be at least partially exposed to an outside and swing with respect to the door handle, an electric unlatch operation mechanism having an actuator that is configured to disengage the latch mechanism from the striker as the unlatch portion is made to swing, and a lock sensor portion provided in a part of the unlatch portion, the part being exposed to the outside, the lock sensor portion being configured to detect a change in an electrostatic capacity.

The present invention relates to an electric door handle (10) for a vehicle door, comprising a main body (20) for arrangement in the vehicle door, wherein a hand grip (30) is mounted on the main body (20) so as to be movable within a range of movement (BB) between a mechanically defined first end position (EP1) and a mechanically defined second end position (EP2) by means of a handle bearing (32), further comprising an electric drive (40) for a movement of the hand grip (30) between the two end positions (EP1, EP2) and at least one sensor means (50) for determining the position of the hand grip (30) between the two end positions (EP1, EP2), wherein the electric drive (40) comprises a transmission device (42) for load-free positioning of the hand grip (30) in a gripping position (GP) of the hand grip (30) at a distance from the end positions (EP1, EP2) and for load-free positioning of the hand grip (30) in a travel position (FP) at a distance from the end positions (EP1, EP2) and from the gripping position (GP).

The application provides a mounting mechanism for a hidden vehicle door handle and a vehicle, and belongs to the technical field of vehicles. The mounting mechanism comprises an outer plate mounting assembly, a base assembly and tolerance absorption assemblies; the outer plate mounting assembly is configured to be disposed on the inner side of a vehicle door outer plate and integrally disposed on the vehicle door outer plate; the base assembly is configured to be connected with a handle and clamped and fixed to a designated mounting position by the outer plate mounting assembly; and the tolerance absorption assemblies are fixedly connected with the base assembly, disposed between mounting holes and bolts on a vehicle door outer plate reinforcing plate, and configured to absorb tolerances between the bolts and the mounting holes.

An embodiment door outside handle assembly includes a door lock body configured to be attached to an outside of a door panel of a vehicle, a grip cover covering an outside of the door lock body and including a key hole configured to receive an emergency key, and a door lock cap on an outside of the grip cover, the door lock cap being slidable in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle to cover or uncover the key hole.

An opening control has a case and a handle mounted so as to tilt about an axis relative to the case between at least one rest position and an ejected position, a lever for pivoting the handle in ejection and/or retraction and electrical actuation element of the pivot lever. The lever is configured to pivot about an axis common to the handle and has a member for elastically returning into a return position in which it is adapted to retain the handle in its rest position. The actuation element is configured to make the lever pivot against the return force of the return member so as to drive in its rotational movement the handle from its rest position to its ejected position.

A method for extending and retracting a handle of a door handle assembly for a door of a vehicle includes providing a door handle assembly having a base portion, a handle portion that is movably attached at the base portion, and an electrically operable actuator that operates to move the handle portion relative to the base portion. A control controls operation of the actuator to move the handle portion between a recessed position and a partially extended position. Responsive to detecting presence of an authorized user, a sensing system determines a motion vector of the user that is indicative of a direction that the user is moving relative to the vehicle. Responsive to determining that the determined motion vector is indicative of the user approaching the door of the vehicle, the control controls operation of the actuator to move the handle portion to the partially extended position.

The control comprises a handle flush mounted in a support and a kinematic chain for driving the handle in movement, comprising at least one rotary element for driving the handle in angular movement and at least one driving member configured to accumulate mechanical energy by mechanical work during a push-in action of the handle and to restitute mechanical energy to the drive kinematic chain after release of the handle. The handle includes a means for stabilizing the kinematic chain configured to limit the angulation of the rotary element of the chain during the push-in of the handle.
