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 hold-open lock apparatus of a sliding door configured to limit or release rotation of a swing arm without interference with a rail is provided. The hold-open lock apparatus includes a catch unit including a catch pin that serves as a center of rotation of the swing arm, a catch fitted over the catch pin, and a pawl release lever rotatably fitted over the catch pin. The hold-open lock apparatus further includes a pawl unit including a pawl pin located on a side of the swing arm, and a pawl rotatably fitted over the pawl pin and configured to be locked to or unlocked from the catch. The hold-open lock apparatus also includes a cable unit connected to the pawl release lever and configured to rotate the pawl release lever. The pawl release lever is configured to rotate in one direction to rotate the pawl.

A double pull mechanism of a vehicle latch including: a release link; a cable lever pivotally mounted to a portion of the vehicle latch; a manual release pawl pivotally mounted to the cable lever; a lock spring mounted to the release link; a cable secured to the cable lever, wherein pivotal movement of the cable lever via actuation of the cable a first time causes movement of the lock spring such that a protrusion of the manual release pawl is received in an opening of the release link and wherein actuation of the cable a second time causes movement of the release link via engagement of the protrusion in the opening.

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.

The invention relates to a vehicle door handle (1), comprising a handle frame (5) to be attached on a vehicle door panel (100), handle lever (3) with a total length L movable with respect to the handle frame (5) between at least one rest position (F, R) and an opening position (O) in rotation around a handle lever axis (A) at one of its longitudinal ends, said handle lever (3) having an axially protruding axial finger (35), characterized in that it further comprises a kinematic lever (37), rotatively mobile with respect to the handle frame (5) around a kinematic lever axis (B) between a rest position and an active position, said kinematic lever (37) comprising a first radial arm (39), adapted to interact with a latch mechanism, configured to unlatch the door when the kinematic lever (37) reaches its active position, and a second radial arm (41), intersecting a path of the axial finger (35) of the handle lever (3) and being pushed by said axial finger (35) during rotation of the handle lever (3), so that when the handle lever (3) reaches the opening (O) position, the kinematic lever (37) reaches its active position, wherein the kinematic lever (37) is set in the handle frame (5) in a position axially above the handle lever (3) and with its rotational kinematic lever axis (B) positioned in a middle section of the handle lever (3), radially apart from the handle lever axis (A) at a distance d, verifying 0.9L≥d≥0.1L.

In a lid opening and closing device for a vehicle, a restriction member restricting movement of a rod and an electric motor driving the restriction member are housed in a case fixed to a vehicle body outer plate. An emergency operation member extends movably through a vehicle body inner plate while enabling the restriction member to move when the electric motor malfunctions, the emergency operation member being resiliently urged toward an initial position side at least when being operated. A grommet for preventing intrusion of water is provided between the emergency operation member and the vehicle body inner plate. The grommet includes a grommet main portion liquid-tightly mounted on the vehicle body inner plate while having the emergency operation member movably inserted therethrough, and an elastic portion integrally connected to the grommet main portion while enabling the emergency operation member to be resiliently urged toward the initial position side.
