A vehicular exterior door handle assembly includes a base portion disposed at a handle region of a vehicle door, a handle, and an actuator. The actuator includes an electrically-operable motor, an output element mechanically coupled to the handle, and a variable drive element coupled to the output element. When the motor is operated, the actuator causes the drive element to move the output element and move the handle from a recessed position to a deployed position. When moving the handle from the recessed position, the drive element moves the output element at a first speed to move the handle. When the motor is operated to further move the handle, the drive element moves the output element at a second speed to more rapidly move the handle from a partially deployed position toward a deployed position.

A vehicle opening panel emergency access device, having: a body; a graspable pull member that is able to move between: a retracted position and a deployed position; a retention pin that is designed to occupy: a locking position and a position for releasing the pull member; an electric ejector designed to control the sliding of the retention pin; a control unit for control according to two modes: an unlocking mode in which the electric ejector drives the retention pin from its locking position to its release position; and a percussion mode in which the electric ejector drives the retention pin in oscillation between its locking position and an intermediate position between the locking position and the release position.

A handle assembly for an aircraft door includes a shaft to open the door, an exterior handle deployable between a stowed position and a deployed position, and a clutch having a driving member coupled to the exterior handle and a driven member coupled to the shaft. The clutch is configurable between a disengaged configuration in which the driving member and the driven member are disengaged, and an engaged configuration in which the driving member and the driven member are engaged so that actuation of the exterior handle rotates the shaft to open the door. Rotation of the exterior handle between the stowed position and the deployed position drives an axial movement of the driving member toward the driven member to configure the clutch to the engaged configuration.

A concealed handle assembly that includes a handle base and a handle body rotatable about a first axle such that one end of the handle body can extend or return to a concealed state, the first axle being disposed on the handle base, the handle body having a handle body initial position, a handle body first open position, and a handle body second open position. The assembly further includes a rocker arm rotatable about a second axle, the second axle being disposed on the handle base, the rocker arm having a rocker arm initial position, a rocker arm first open position, and a rocker arm second open position, the rocker arm being capable of being rotated away from or returned to the rocker arm initial position as the handle body rotates, the rocker arm being capable of driving a bolt.

The present invention relates to a vehicle body assembly structure allowing a distance between a vehicle body and a part to be adjusted in any of left-right, front-rear, and up-down directions with a simple structure such as a screw.

A vehicular exterior door handle assembly includes a bracket configured to mount at a vehicular door, a handle portion mounted at the bracket, and a switch mechanism disposed at the handle portion that includes a trigger element movably disposed within a housing. The housing includes an inner portion and an outer portion. When a force is applied at the outer portion, the outer portion moves toward the inner portion. The outer portion of the housing is configured to engage the trigger element as the outer portion moves toward the inner portion. As the outer portion moves toward the inner portion and the outer portion engages the trigger element, the trigger element moves within the housing in a second direction at an angle relative to the first direction and engages a microswitch disposed within the housing to actuate the switch mechanism to operate to release a latch mechanism of the door.

This vehicle door handle device includes: a door handle provided to a vehicle door and shiftable between a stored state of being stored in the vehicle door and an exposed state of being exposed from a surface opening of the vehicle door, the door handle being configured to allow an opening operation of releasing a latch of the vehicle door in the exposed state; a door handle actuator configured to shift the door handle between the stored state and the exposed state; an abnormality detection unit configured to detect abnormality of a vehicle; and a control unit configured to control the door handle actuator so that the door handle shifts from the stored state to the exposed state when the abnormality is detected.

A retractable handle arrangement includes a handle movable between stowed and deployed states, a motor and transmission mechanism arranged to couple the motor to the handle for moving the handle from the stowed state to the deployed state when the motor is driven in a first direction, and to modulate the force exerted on the handle and the speed at which the handle is deployed as the handle travels from the stowed state to the deployed state.

A vehicular access system includes a door handle assembly having (i) a base mounted at a door of a vehicle, (ii) a handle movable relative to the base and (iii) an electrically operable actuator that is electrically operated to move the handle relative to the base. The handle is movable between a recessed position and a partially extended position. The vehicular access system controls operation of the electrically operable actuator to move the handle between the recessed position and the partially extended position. The vehicular access system detects an authorized user and determines movement of the detected authorized user. Responsive to determination that the authorized user is approaching the door of the vehicle, the vehicular access system unlocks the door handle assembly and controls operation of the electrically operable actuator to move the handle to the partially extended position.

A vehicle capable of improving the opening and closing operability of a side door includes a lever that projects to an outer side in a vehicle width direction from a storage position at which the handle lever is flush with the surface of a door outer panel, a position switch that detects the movement position of the lever, a latch mechanism that has a latch engageable with a striker in conjunction with the lever, a latch switch that detects whether the latch is in a full-latch state, a driving device capable of changing the position of the lever in a range from the storage position to a gripping position, and a CPU capable of controlling the driving device, in which the CPU forcibly changes the position of the lever to the gripping position when the latch is in a half-latch state and the lever is at the storage position.
