Patent ID: 8814232

Claim:
An external, automobile door handle system comprising an elongated grip manually accessible from the door outside and fitted at its ends with support protrusions, a first support protrusion resting pivotably at a support connected to the door structure and the second support protrusion being operationally linked to a swivel lever which is also pivotably supported at said support and is biased by a spring in a manner that the grip is biased toward and into a rest position, the swivel lever being connected by a linkage or a cable to a door lock in a manner that said lock shall be opened when the grip is pulled out of the rest position into an open position, further comprising a pendular, elongated centrifugal lever which is supported displaceably in a similar direction as the grip and which, when in a first end position (locked position), causes locking the grip, and when in a second end position (release position), causes releasing the grip, the centrifugal weight being moved into the locked position when a predetermined transverse acceleration acts on the automobile and applies an opening force to the grip, wherein the swivel lever comprises a holding element from which is suspended the centrifugal lever which is rotatable about an axis running approximately parallel to the axis of rotation of the swivel lever and approximately parallel a horizontal plane of the elongated grip, in that the centrifugal lever is biased by a spring toward the swivel lever and rests against the swivel lever and—upon manual actuation of the grip—shall be moved along with the swivel lever, in that the centrifugal lever, upon occurrence of a centrifugal force due to transverse acceleration, shall be pivoted away from the swivel lever in the direction of a first stop and, during the opening motion of the grip, shall be displaced downward in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the centrifugal lever against a second stop, thereby blocking further opening the grip.
