Abstract: The present disclosure provides a tolerance compensation fastening assembly for fastening a second part to a first part by cooperating with a nut element provided on the first part. The tolerance compensation fastening assembly comprises a bolt, a compensation element, a connection element, and a holding means. The compensation element comprises a body and a flange, and the flange is provided at one end of the body and defines a compensation hole in communication with a channel of the body. A bolt head is accommodated in the channel and is blocked by the flange, and a bolt rod passes through the compensation hole. The connection element comprises a connection disc and connection legs, and the flange is located between the bolt head and the connection disc. The connection disc is provided with a connection hole to receive the bolt rod. The connection legs are configured to connect the connection disc to the second part. The holding means is provided on the connection disc and the bolt rod, and is configured to couple the bolt rod to the connection disc to prevent the bolt rod from being withdrawn from the connection hole, thereby holding the bolt, the compensation element and the connection element in a pre-assembled position.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a door handle assembly including a push rod, an ejector rod, a first movable rotating shaft and a second movable rotating shaft. The push rod has a push rod first end and a push rod second end, the ejector rod has an ejector rod first end and an ejector rod second end, the push rod second end is rotatably connected to the ejector rod first end via the first movable rotating shaft, the second movable rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the ejector rod between the ejector rod first end and the ejector rod second end. When the ejector rod abuts against the handle, the push rod applies a first pushing force to the ejector rod, the ejector rod applies a second pushing force to the handle, a component force of the second pushing force in a second direction is greater than the first pushing force.
