Abstract

A door handle system for a motor vehicle comprising a door handle (10, 10 ') pivotable about a pivot, the two end portions of which are arranged in a ground state flush with the outer door skin, is characterized in that the door handle (10, 10') is arcuate in shape External curvature in the middle area of the door handle.
Thus, in a functional position, that is, when engaged by the user, enough space is provided for the user's fingers, and bruising or disability during engagement is avoided.

Description

The invention relates to a door handle system for a motor vehicle comprising a pivotable about a pivot door handle, the two end portions are in a ground state flush with the outer door skin.

In the DE 10 2015 209 851 A1 Such a door handle system is disclosed.

Flush-fitting exterior door handles for motor vehicle doors are often extended to display or actuate via a rotary-linear kinematics. Usually, the free end of the grip for the engagement of the hand is further issued as the other end of the grip on which the storage of the handle. Since, according to legal regulations, the maximum permissible projection is 40 mm in relation to the outer skin of the door, there is only little space for the intervention of the hand because of the structurally necessary thickness of the door handle. In particular, the finger closest to the hinged end of the grip can either not be introduced sufficiently unhindered or it can even lead to pinching of the finger.

The object of the invention is the o.g. To avoid disadvantages and to provide a generic door handle system, a vehicle door and a motor vehicle, which allows unobstructed intervention by the user.

The invention results from the features of the independent claims. Advantageous developments and refinements are the subject of the dependent claims.

The object is achieved in that the door handle is arcuate with an outer curvature in the central region of the door handle.

The door handle is thus formed arcuate or banana-shaped, so that in the functional position, ie when engaged by the user, enough space for the fingers of the user and bruising or disability during surgery are avoided. The curvature or curvature can be the same on the inside or outside of the door handle or even different. Decisive is the curvature on the inside of the door handle.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the pivot point of the door handle is displaceable when actuated in the vehicle transverse direction. This results in the advantages according to the invention also in the case of a door handle with rotational-linear kinematics, in which the pivot point of the door handle is simultaneously displaced and pivoted laterally outward.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the outer curvature of the door handle is 2 to 8 mm. This creates sufficient space for the user's fingers.

The object is further achieved by a vehicle door comprising an aforementioned door handle system.

The object is further achieved by a motor vehicle comprising at least two aforementioned vehicle doors.

Further advantages, features and details will become apparent from the following description in which - where appropriate, with reference to the drawings - at least one embodiment is described in detail. The same, similar and / or functionally identical parts are provided with the same reference numerals.

The single FIGURE is a schematic side view of a door handle for a motor vehicle door in a view from above.

In the figure, a vehicle door handle is in a rest position 10 and in a functional position 10 ' shown. The vehicle door handle in a rest position 10 closes at both ends flush with a surrounding outer skin 12 a vehicle door not shown in detail. In the functional position 10 ' there is a hinged handle end 14 shifted outwards (upwards in the drawing) and at the same time pivoted outwards at an angle of approx. 10-15 °. The opposite, free end of the grip 16 is further out.

The vehicle door handle 10 is arched or banana-shaped with an overhang 18 in the middle range of 2 - 8 mm, in particular 3 to 5 mm. This is in the functional position of the door handle 10 ' below it enough space for the fingers 20 the user, especially for the hinged handle end 14 nearest finger 20 ' created.

Although the invention has been further illustrated and explained in detail by way of preferred embodiments, the invention is not limited by the disclosed examples, and other variations can be derived therefrom by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention. It is therefore clear that a multitude of possible variations exists. It is also to be understood that exemplified embodiments are really only examples that are not to be construed in any way as limiting the scope, applicability, or configuration of the invention. Rather, the previous description and the The person skilled in the art will be able to concretely implement the exemplary embodiments, wherein the person skilled in the art can make various changes, for example with respect to the function or the arrangement of individual elements, mentioned in an exemplary embodiment, without departing from the scope is defined by the claims and their legal equivalents, such as further explanation in the description.
