A handle arrangement for a vehicle comprising: a handle moveable between a slowed position and a deployed position; a drive mechanism for controlling the handle position; a sensor for detecting a force applied to the handle when in the deployed position, which force is directed so as to urge the handle into the stowed position; wherein upon detecting the force the handle arrangement is arranged to move the handle from the deployed position to the stowed position.

A lock including: a retractable knob; and a knob release mechanism for retaining the retractable knob in a retracted position, the knob release mechanism retains the retractable knob in the retracted position until a motor of the knob release mechanism is actuated by an input provided to a keypad located on a surface of the lock.

A device for remotely supplying power, through magnetic induction, to a secondary module able to move in relation to a primary module along a predetermined path. An advantageous arrangement of the primary coils of the primary module and of a secondary coil of the secondary module furthermore allows the device to estimate the position of the secondary module. The primary coils are arranged such that: the primary coils form respective magnetic fields oriented in the same direction along their respective axes, during the movement, the inductive coupling between the first primary coil and the secondary coil evolves in the opposite way to the inductive coupling between the second primary coil and the secondary coil, the total inductive coupling existing between the primary coils and the secondary coil is substantially constant regardless of the position of the secondary coil.

A door handle projecting/pulling-in mechanism has a spring and an alternating mechanism. The spring urges the door handle such that the door handle is stored within a door main body. The alternating mechanism is set such that a distal end portion of a movable portion faces the door handle, and the movable portion travels reciprocally along a door thickness direction. Against urging force of the spring, the alternating mechanism can switch between a first state, in which the alternating mechanism maintains the door handle at a first position of being even with an outer surface of the door main body, and a second state, in which the alternating mechanism maintains the door handle at a second position at which the door handle can be grasped.

In an outer handle device for a vehicle door, a handle lever is operatively linked to an outer handle, the handle lever being driven by an electric actuator so that the outer handle is pivoted from a housed position to a pop-up position. A restriction device operates so as to follow movement of the handle lever toward a side that goes away from an initial position when the handle lever is driven by the electric actuator so that the outer handle is pivoted from the housed position toward the pop-up position side, the restriction device restricting return of the handle lever to the initial position side from a maximum operated position of the handle lever toward the side that goes away from the initial position. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the outer handle from rattling, thereby enabling marketability to be enhanced.

A lock, including: a retractable knob; and a knob release mechanism for retaining the retractable knob in a retracted position, wherein the knob release mechanism includes a damper with a gear that is slidably received within a set of grooves located in the retractable knob, and wherein the gear prevents rotation of the retractable knob unless it is in an extended position.

A device for remotely supplying power, through magnetic induction, to a secondary module able to move in relation to a primary module along a predetermined path. An advantageous arrangement of the primary coils of the primary module and of a secondary coil of the secondary module furthermore allows the device to estimate the position of the secondary module. The primary coils are arranged such that: the primary coils form respective magnetic fields oriented in the same direction along their respective axes, during the movement, the inductive coupling between the first primary coil and the secondary coil evolves in the opposite way to the inductive coupling between the second primary coil and the secondary coil, the total inductive coupling existing between the primary coils and the secondary coil is substantially constant regardless of the position of the secondary coil.

A pressing type latch device includes a seat, a pivotal seat mounted in the seat, and a handle having a grasping portion pivotably connected to two eccentric locations of the pivotal seat, such that a greater operational height can be formed when the handle is lifted. When the latch device is in one of a plurality of retainable open positions or a retainable closed position, the grasping portion of the handle can be moved to a position to lift the pivotal seat, such that the grasping portion of the handle lies flush with the pivotal seat. On the other hand, when the grasping portion of the handle is lifted to move the pivotal seat downward, the handle and the pivotal seat can rotate freely. Since the latch device includes a closed position and a plurality of open positions, the latch device can be installed and used more easily.

A flush-mounted handle assembly for a cargo door having an exterior rotatable handle having a bumper assembly and an interior rotatable handle, a housing having a cavity for receipt of the exterior rotatable handle and an actuator positioned between the interior rotatable handle and housing. The housing having a skid plate positioned within the cavity for receipt of the bumper when the exterior rotatable handle is rotated and the housing also having a shaft removably connected to the housing by a nut for receipt of the actuator.

Examples described herein include handles with extended and retracted positions. In some examples, a handle comprises a housing and a knob. The knob may have a first surface and a circumferential sidewall. The knob may have a retracted position in the housing and an extended position. In the extended position, the circumferential sidewall protrudes from the housing and the knob is rotatable between a first position and a second position.
