A bracket to be mounted in a cut-out in a panel of the door, a gripping handle hingedly mounted with respect to the bracket. The handle includes a body of generally elongate shape having an end portion for hinging to the bracket about a hinge axis substantially parallel to the plane of the panel of the door and substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the handle. The bracket has a body of casing defining a cavity open to the outside, which the handle partially closes off in a rest position leaving a concave access recess for gripping an internal face of the handle.

A door handle assembly for a vehicle includes a housing, a handle, and a compression mechanism. The handle is rotatably attached to the housing and rotatable between a resting position and a depressed position. The compression mechanism is configured to allow rotation of the handle between the resting position and the depressed position. The compression mechanism includes a plunger and a biasing member. The plunger is coupled to one of the housing or the handle and translatable between a first position when the handle is in the resting position and a second position when the handle is in the depressed position. The biasing member is coupled to one of the housing or the handle and configured to bias the plunger between the first position and the second position.

An outside door handle assembly for a vehicle includes a grip cover, a grip body that is provided hinge-rotatable outward in a width direction of the vehicle in an outer panel of a vehicle door, and is engaged with the grip cover, and a balance weight that is included in the grip body to be hinge-rotatable in an opposite direction of a hinge-rotation direction of the grip body with respect to a hinge rotation point on an extension line of the grip body.

A discloses latch module assembly includes a channel and a bracket supported on the channel. The bracket supports a handle assembly and is movable between a collapsed position and an installed position to enable assembly through small openings within a door. A method of installing a door latch module assembly is also disclosed.

A retractable outside door handle assembly may include a handle unit including a pushing portion and an outside door handle mounted selectively protruded outwardly to a handle housing, an actuator including a drive motor, a worm connected to the drive motor, a worm wheel engaging with the worm, and an operation rod that moves according to rotation of the worm wheel to push the pushing portion, and a door latch lever that is rotatably mounted on the handle housing and rotates during operation of the outside door handle protruded by operation of the actuator.

A lock includes a base and movable element connected to a handle operable by a user and movable between a first position corresponding to an open condition of the handle and a second position corresponding to a closed condition. An operating element is rotatably mounted on the base and connected to a device for releasing a closing panel, and is rotatable between a first position corresponding to an open condition of the panel and a second position corresponding to a closed condition. A transmission acts between the movable an operating elements and kinematically connects the movable and operating elements such that movement of the movable element causes rotation of the operating element. An uncoupling device acts on the transmission for disengaging kinematically, and in a controlled way, the movable element from the operating element to disable actuation of the operating element by the movable element.
