External door handle, particularly for motor vehicles

摘要

The grip is attached with two levers (2,2') to supports (6,6') about which it can hinge on pivot points (8,8'), which are in line with one another, about a centreline (9). The two levers are U-shaped while the sides of the 'U' are of unequal lengths The two levers (2,2') are dimensioned so that their radial distances from handle attachment point to pivot point are different. When the vehicle door is closed, the grip lies approximately horizontal while the pivot centreline (9) is inclined upwards towards the rear of the vehicle ADVANTAGE : A larger force can be exerted with the grip.
