Abstract: A vehicle door handle assembly includes: a housing providing a recess with an opening; an elastic lever arranged in the recess, having a first end embedded in the housing and a second free end extending in front of the opening; a sensor for detecting a deformation of the elastic lever or a displacement of the second free end of the elastic lever; and a fixing structure arranged around the housing to be fastened to an inner side of a vehicle door panel. The second end of the elastic lever can be in contact with a pin attached to the inner side of the vehicle door panel in front of an outer side location associated with an opening actuation area so that a pressure applied on the opening actuation area leads to a displacement of the second end of the elastic lever which can be detected by the sensor.

Abstract: An assembly includes a handle comprising a cover member and at least one sensor. The cover member includes a frame part and an inner wall part allowing an access by the user's hand to at least one electronic switch of a bracket. The at least one sensor is configured to detected a user's hand so as to allow a locking and/or an unlocking of the door when the user's hand is detected, positioned such that, when the user's hand is inserted in the cover member in order to reach the at least one electronic switch, the user's hand is detected by the at least one sensor before the user's hand reaches the at least one electronic switch.

Abstract: “An assembly for opening and/or closing a vehicle door includes a grip member configured to be attached to an external side of a vehicle door. The grip member includes a base configured to extend from the vehicle door when the grip member is attached to the external side of the vehicle door, and a gripping part extending from the base toward an upper direction when the grip member is attached to the external side of the vehicle door. The assembly further includes an electronic switch subassembly configured to be attached to the grip member and to be activated by a user's touch and send a signal to an electronic latch to open the door. The electronic switch subassembly includes a switch contact area facing downwards when the grip member is attached to the external side of the vehicle door.”

Abstract: A handle for a vehicle door includes a grip member movable between a flush position, an active position and an opening position; a first actuation mechanism including a first return element configured to drive the first actuation mechanism toward a rest position so as to bring the grip member toward the flush position; a second actuation mechanism including a second return element configured to drive the second actuation mechanism so as to bring the grip member toward the flush position. The handle is configured such that a third return element participates in bringing the grip member toward the flush position in case the first return element and second return element are insufficient to bring the grip member toward the flush position.

Abstract: An electronic switch subassembly to be assembled to an inner side of a vehicle door is configured to be activated by a user's touch so as to send a signal to an electronic latch to open the door. The switch subassembly includes a switch contact area extending across a transverse direction with respect to the path to be followed by the user's hand to reach the switch contact area when the subassembly is assembled to the vehicle door, and at least two switch elements. Each switch element includes one or more switch(es). The switch elements are arranged at different positions along the transverse direction so that a user's touch on the switch contact area activates at least one of the switches.

Abstract: A vehicle door handle assembly includes a bracket and a handle. The handle includes a first extremity and a second extremity. The first extremity is configured to move between a rest position, a deployed position outside the bracket, and an opening position to open a latch. The second extremity is configured to move between a rest position, an activation position, and a deployed position outside the bracket. The bracket includes a shock absorber provided in or attached to a rest portion of the bracket. The shock absorber is configured to cooperate with the handle when the second extremity is moved from the rest position to the activation position and when the first extremity and the second extremity are moved together from the deployed position to the rest position.
