The present invention relates to a method for performing an alternating functional movement for producing a secondary function with a hand grip (30) of an electric door handle (10) of a vehicle door (100), comprising the following steps: receiving a function request (FA) for activating the secondary function, performing the alternating functional movement, wherein the hand grip (30) is moved back and forth multiple times between at least two different functional positions (FUP).

A vehicle opening panel emergency access device, having: a body; a graspable pull member that is able to move between: a retracted position and a deployed position; a retention pin that is designed to occupy: a locking position and a position for releasing the pull member; an electric ejector designed to control the sliding of the retention pin; a control unit for control according to two modes: an unlocking mode in which the electric ejector drives the retention pin from its locking position to its release position; and a percussion mode in which the electric ejector drives the retention pin in oscillation between its locking position and an intermediate position between the locking position and the release position.

A vehicle includes a door-operating mechanism for selectively releasing a vehicle door from a closed position. A door handle is in communication with the door operating mechanism. The door handle is operable between a flush position, wherein an outer face of the door handle is flush with a portion of an exterior surface of the vehicle door such that only the outer face of the door handle is accessible, and an extended position, wherein the outer face of the door handle is moved away from the exterior surface of the vehicle door such that a rear surface of the door handle is accessible. A heating mechanism is in thermal communication with the outer face of the door handle and the exterior surface of the vehicle door. A remote transmitter is in communication with the heating mechanism, wherein the remote transmitter selectively activates the heating mechanism.

A keyless puck lock apparatus with wireless communications and power interfaces. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a keyless puck lock system enabling a low cost and high security solution that is difficult to tamper with and defeat. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the system uses a keyless puck lock assembly that includes a hasp assembly and a keyless lock mechanism that does not require any physical mechanical keys so that it does not have a mechanical cylinder inserted therein to lock or unlock the puck lock. Accordingly, the keyless puck lock system in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention does not have a physical keyway which is a security attack point that is included in conventional hockey puck-type locks.

An electronic straight shackle lock apparatus and system. Aspects of the present disclosure provide for a keyless, electronic straight shackle lock that provides a high level of security at a relatively low cost and without any opening for a physical mechanical key. Certain embodiments provide for an easy-to-use and compact adapter for a keyless, electronic straight shackle lock and the ability to manually override the electronic lock. Certain benefits and advantages of the present disclosure include a compact and flexible locking system that can be installed on many different enclosures and doors that can be locked and unlocked using an electronic device via a wireless signal.

A door handle assembly for a vehicle door includes a handle mounted on a handle housing, a lever element, and a lever mechanism which is rotatably mounted on the handle housing. A longitudinal end of the handle is movably secured to the handle housing via the lever mechanism, and the lever element is coupled to the lever mechanism to transmit a movement such that when the handle is moved out of the non-use position into the actuation position the lever element rotates simultaneously about a lever rotational axis and a rotational axis. The lever element extends a longitudinal end of the handle out of the outer contour when rotation about the lever rotational axis begins, and the lever mechanism extends the other longitudinal end of the handle out of the outer contour when rotation about the rotational axis begins after a dead center of the handle lever is exceeded.

A handle assembly for a motor vehicle has a support housing, a grip mounted on the support housing and movable between a retracted and extended position, a drive element movable along a main extension path, and a main extension lever which is movement-coupled to the drive element and pushes the grip into the extended position during a drive movement of the drive element along the main extension path. The drive element executes a drive movement divided into the main extension path and a pre-extension path preceding the main extension path. The drive element, during its drive movement along the pre-extension path, is movement-decoupled from the main extension lever, and a pre-extension lever is mounted rotatably on the support housing and pushes the grip towards the extended position during the drive movement of the drive element along the pre-extension path.
