A mechanism for opening a vehicle door, comprising: a door opening component for opening the vehicle door, a cover plate, and a first fixed rotational axle. The door opening component is disposed in an operating cavity. The cover plate covers the operating cavity such that the cover plate is concealed in the door. The first fixed rotational axle is mounted adjacent to the operating cavity. A side edge of the cover plate is mounted on the first fixed rotational axle such that when an external force is applied to the cover plate, the cover plate is rotatable about the first fixed rotational axle to enter the operating cavity such that the door opening component is accessible to an operator via the operating cavity to open the vehicle door.

A vehicle door locking device includes a case fixed to a door that opens and closes an opening on one end side in the width direction of a vehicle body, a latch that locks a striker when having a latching orientation in conjunction with opening and closing of the door, and that releases the locking when being shifted from the latching orientation to an unlatching orientation, a ratchet that, when having a first orientation, holds the latch in the latching orientation, and that, when having a second orientation, shifts the latch from the latching orientation to the unlatching orientation, an outer handle lever that is rotated in conjunction with an opening operation, and an inertia part that is swingably supported at a lower portion of the outer handle lever in the case, that maintains the orientation thereof while being urged by an urging member, and that, when an external force of a predetermined magnitude or larger acts thereon from the one end side toward the other end side of the vehicle body, the orientation of the case is changed by an inertia force, and thereby restricts rotation of the outer handle lever.

A rotary lock actuator for manual or powered actuation of a lock for vehicle doors is disclosed. The actuator has a motorized drive train and an actuating member movable between first and second positions. A manual drive member and a powered drive member each have first and second drive surfaces spaced apart from one another. A drive wedge is disposed in the spaces between the first and second drive surfaces of each drive member such that the drive wedge is engageable with the actuating member. The first driving surface of each drive member engages the wedge for moving the actuating member from a first position toward a second position upon movement of one of the drive members. The drive wedge is engageable by the second driving surface of each drive member for moving the actuating member from a second position toward the first position upon movement a drive member.

The present disclosure includes a handle assembly system for use with lift and slide doors. The handle assembly can include a handle housing that can serve as a support frame for housing and securing the handle flush within a front face of the door. The handle can be pivoted out of the handle housing and extended to increase length, wherein rotating the handle allows a user to actuate the door panels in order to open and close the sliding door system. The telescoping handle can allow a user to grip the handle and provide a lever-type function to reduce the force required by the user to actuate the panel, such as to lift the panel onto or off the track.

A vehicle door includes a door structure having an interior space and a ramp disposed within the interior space. The vehicle door further includes a latch and a handle that is pivotably connected to the door structure. The handle includes a pair of inwardly and forwardly extending hooks. The vehicle door also includes a cable or other linkage connected to the latch. The cable has a fitting that is pushed along the ramp by the hooks upon pivoting of the handle to thereby shift the cable and unlatch the latch.

A door handle assembly for integration into a vehicle door including a support element coupled to the vehicle door, a handle element arranged on the support element, and a radar apparatus arranged on the support element or on or in the handle element and configured to emit radar radiation and to receive reflected radar radiation.

A door handle assembly of a vehicle door includes a handle support, a handle which is mounted on the handle support and runs flush with the outer contour of the vehicle door in a non-use position and is movable into an actuation position, a first lifting mechanism and a second lifting mechanism. Each lifting mechanism is coupled to the handle so as to transmit a movement. The handle is protruded relative to the outer contour of the vehicle door in the actuation position in comparison to the non-use position and can be actuated by the user in order to open the vehicle door. The first lifting mechanism has a first pivot axis which is arranged on the handle support. The first lifting mechanism and the second lifting mechanism form a scissor kinematic system and are coupled together so as to transmit a movement.
