Motor-driven control for a flush door handle and method for operating it
A handle mechanism includes a handle and control mechanism. The handle is movable between a rest position flush with the door and a working position projecting therefrom. The control mechanism includes a first lever, a second lever, a tie-rod having ends linked to the first lever and the second lever according to hinged linkages at least one of which has a first oblong aperture parallel to the tie-rod, a device for elastically biasing the handle towards the rest position, a cam, a rod linking the cam to the tie-rod and including a pin. The tie-rod further includes a second oblong aperture parallel to the first oblong aperture and through which the pin of the rod extends in order to make the handle slide from the working position to the rest position in a motor-driven way through an over-travel of the cam when the elastic biasing device are not sufficient.
Automobile door latch device
An automobile door latch device includes: a mesh mechanism; a body; a base; and an operation mechanism disposed on the base, the operation mechanism including: an outside lever configured to receive an operating force of an outside handle to perform open actuation; a first open lever configured to perform open actuation in conjunction with open actuation of the outside lever; a locking/unlocking mechanism; a second open lever configured to perform open actuation in conjunction with open actuation of the first open lever output from the locking/unlocking mechanism; and a fully open release lever configured to perform open actuation in conjunction with open actuation of the first open lever, wherein the fully open release lever is connected to an operating force transmission member configured to transmit the open actuation of the fully open release lever to a fully opening latch device for holding the slide door in a fully open position.

Overwing Exit Door System
A system and method for an overwing exit door is provided. The overwing exit door system comprises a door, a handle connected to an inboard surface of the door, a guide track connected to a body of the aircraft, a roller, a first crank connected to the roller and associated with the handle, a first shaft system attached to the first crank, a latch system connected to the first shaft system, and a locking system associated with the latch system. The latch system comprises a rotating stop, a second crank associated with the rotating stop, and a second shaft system connected to the second crank and the rotating stop. These components together control operation of the overwing exit door between an open position and a closed position.

Methods for preventing unintended operation of pivoting door handle
A flush mounted handle assembly is provided for a power slide door of a vehicle. The handle assembly includes a case fixed to the door, the case defining a rear wall and opposing side portions. A bell crank is provided configured to coordinate selective power and manual operational modes of the assembly. The assembly includes a handle base having a first end and a second opposing end. The first and seconds ends are configured for selective pivotal movement in opposite directions about a fixed pivot axis to engage the bell crank. A pair of weighted paddles is provided, each rotatable about an axis independent from the handle base axis. One or more paddle biasing members is provided to bias the weighted paddles against the handle base, minimizing movement of the handle base in the manual operational mode upon an impact, or during an unintended rotational movement of the handle base.
