A vehicle handle device includes: a handle support member; a handle rotatably supported by the handle support member and causing a locking device to perform a transition from a latched state to an unlatched state; a rotary member rotatable around a rotary shaft with respect to the handle support member; and a torsion coil spring having a main body portion extending to have a spiral shape and disposed on the periphery of the rotary shaft, and first and second engagement pieces extending from both ends of the main body portion, respectively, and generating a bias force causing the rotary member to rotate around the rotary shaft when the first and second engagement pieces engage with the rotary member and the handle support member, respectively, in a state where the main body portion is elastically deformed.

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.

An unlocking unit for unlocking an openable closure element of a motor vehicle, having a housing with a switch unit and an actuating element that can be pivoted relative to the housing and pivoted relative to the switch unit from an unactuated resting position into at least two actuating positions. It is provided that the switch unit is positioned in the housing and can be reversibly positioned in at least two different switch point positions relative to the housing, whereby different trigger switch points can be assigned the pivotable actuating element of the unlocking unit in accordance with a switch angle of the actuating element that can be pivoted out of the resting position.

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.

An apparatus for preventing a vehicle door from opening includes an outside handle having a pulling lever which extends from the outside handle into a housing. A release cable protector case is hingedly connected to an upper side of the housing to pivot. A release cable is connected to a lower side of the release cable protector case to be pulled. A handle associated lever includes a rotary shaft which is pivotally attached to a lower side of the housing, a locking lever which extends from the rotary shaft and is in contact with an outer surface of the pulling lever, and a cable-operating lever which is connected to an edge of the locking lever and pulls the release cable. A first return spring surrounds the rotary shaft of the handle-associated lever and has one end fixed to the rotary shaft and another end fixed to the housing.
