Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The vehicle door handle comprises first and second levers (8, 10) mounted such that they can rotate on a common support (4), these levers being not coaxial and arranged in such a way that the first lever (8) operates the second lever (10) which operates a mechanical link that operates the lock (26).
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A vehicle door handle, comprising: first and second levers mounted so that they rotate on a common support, the levers not being coaxial and being arranged so that the first lever operates the second lever via a cooperation ramp of the first lever, wherein the second lever operates a cable that includes an upstream end attached to the second lever at a distance from a rotation axis of the second lever and a downstream end configured to operate a mechanism for opening a door of a vehicle relative to a chassis of the vehicle; and a manual operating member accessible from outside of the door and outside of the vehicle when the door is closed, wherein the manual operating member includes an operating ramp that is arranged to directly operate the first lever, and arranged so that there exists at least one configuration of the handle in which the rotation axis of the second lever lies between a rotation axis of the first lever and the cooperation ramp at all times. 2. The handle as claimed in claim 1 , arranged so that the first lever is in contact with the second lever. 3. The handle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cooperation ramp is formed as part of the first lever. 4. The handle as claimed in claim 1 , arranged so that rotation of the first lever over a first angle θ 1 causes rotation of the second lever over a second angle θ 2 greater than the first angle. 5. The handle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the operating ramp is formed as part of the manual operating member. 6. The handle as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a sheath receiving the cable.
