A door handle apparatus for a vehicle is assembled to a door panel of the vehicle. The door handle apparatus includes a base, a grip, and a switch device. The grip is supported by the base, rotates from a state in which an outer surface of the grip is located in a same plane as an outer surface of the door panel, and is transitionable to a state of protruding from the outer surface of the door panel. The switch device includes a switch body and a switch cover. The switch cover is supported by the base, rotates around the second shaft, enters an inner surface of the door panel, and engages with the switch body to switch ON and OFF states of a switch element.

A door handle apparatus for a vehicle includes: a grip that is allowed to be gripped from a vehicle exterior of the door panel, the grip being supported so as to be rotatable around a shaft extending in a predetermined direction, rotating in a first direction from a first state in which an outer surface of the grip is located in a same plane as an outer surface of the door panel to be transitionable to a second state in which the grip protrudes from the outer surface of the door panel, and rotating in a second direction opposite to the first direction from the second state to be transitionable to the first state; a biasing device that causes the grip to rotate in the second direction; and a resistance force generation device that generates a resistance force.

A device and a method for locking and/or unlocking a motor vehicle opening panel and vehicle having the device. The device includes a detection wall having an inner side and an opposite outer side, the outer side forming a contact detection region, and a detection component arranged against the inner side for detecting contact between a user's finger or hand and the outer side. The detection component includes a sensor having a layer of a piezoelectric material which has surface undulations in the form of ridges. The layer of piezoelectric material is configured to detect predetermined contact on the outer side with a view to controlling the locking or unlocking of the opening panel.

A device includes an apparatus, including a fixed part attached to an activation part, and at least one detection device configured to activate at least one function of the apparatus upon detection of force applied to the activation part. Every detection device of the at least one detection device includes a blade and a sensor. The blade includes first and second bearing parts that bear against the activation part or the fixed part. The sensor is on the blade between the first and second bearing parts. The sensor measures deformation of the blade when the force is applied on the activation part and collects a deformation signal to be transmitted to a controller. At least one of the first bearing part and the second bearing part is secured to the activation part or to the fixed part by at least one overmolded securing portion.

A sliding/swing complex door for a vehicle includes a sliding door configured to be opened upon a first operation of an outside handle positioned on an outside of the sliding door, a swing door configured to be integrated and opened with the sliding door upon a second operation of the outside handle, and a fixing unit configured to be opened in such a way to be integrated and rotated with the swing door in a state in which the sliding door is fully opened.

A device includes a support, a handle mounted pivotably with respect to the support, a lever for actuating a lock of the door configured to cooperate with an extension element of the handle extending transversely from an inner face of the handle. Moreover, the lever is mounted movable on an axis of articulation of the support against a resilient return member between a first rest configuration of the member in which it extends across a path of the extension element to generate a stress resisting the pivoting of the handle and a second configuration of actuation of the lock in which it is driven in rotation about said axis by the extension element during the pivoting of the handle after having overcome the resisting stress.
