The device comprises on the one hand fixedly attachable to a door wall 15 parts 10, hereinafter referred to as "fixed parts" and on the other hand a on the other hand, movable operating unit 20. As described in more detail will be, the actuator unit 20 consists of two, relative to each other movable assemblies 30, 40, one of which 40, a door handle 43 has. At the actuating unit 20 are shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 apparent bearing arms 21, 22, which sit on opposite ends of the handle and in turn in two parts 31, 41 and 32, 42, respectively. The outline of the bearing arms 21, 22 includes in each case two fixedly connected to the bearing group 30 starting pieces 31, 32, while the remaining end pieces 41, 42 of the two bearing arms 21, 22 fixed to the at second assembly 40 provided door handle 43 are connected.

The fixed parts 10 are in the present case, as best seen in FIGS. 2 and 3 is, in a only fragmentary illustrated carrier 13 and an outwardly concave Mulde 14 articulated. The trough 14 is spanned in the installation case by the door handle 43. In its rest position, which is characterized in Fig. 3 and 6a by an auxiliary line 43.1, the door handle 43 is so close to the trough 14 that it is insufficient can be detected manually, namely only in an emergency, if an accident, or if the electronics in the vehicle fails. The fixed parts 10 mainly comprise in FIG. 2 Bearing pieces 11, 12 shown in fragmentary form, which belong to the carrier 13. in the Mounting case, as shown in FIG. 6a is the trough 14 on the show side of Support wall 15, which in this area a wall hole 16 for mounting the Device allowed from the front to the back of the door wall 15. On the Rear side of the door wall 15, the carrier 13 is attached.

In extension of the door handle 43, the trough 14 still has a schauseitig visible approach 17, wherein other functional parts, e.g. a lock cylinder 18, are arranged. This is indicated only in an emergency by a in Fig. 1 Emergency key 19 actuated to a not shown in detail door lock between a secured and an unlocked position. From the door lock is in the Fig. 6a to 7c, in section, only the input member of the associated actuating linkage shown. Also, the approach 17 and the lock cylinder 18 are in the operation of the Door handle fixed and therefore belong to the fixed parts 10th

The actuator 20 is pivotally hinged to the fixed parts 10. The via a best seen in FIG. 2 recognizable bearing pin, which is the two Bearing arms 21, 22 pivotally supports on the two carrier-side bearing lugs 11, 12 and thus the dash-dotted illustrated pivot axis 50 determined. To compliant Pivoting movement of the two bearing arms 21, 22, these are characterized by one of the best Fig. 2 traverse 23 connected. This Traverse 23 extends between the Stock group 30 belonging start pieces 31, 32 of these arms.

In the illustrated embodiment, the access authorization to the vehicle after the so-called "keyless-go". That is, the authorized person has an identification card that serves as the access authorization to the vehicle and already remotely communicates with in-vehicle identification means. Approaches the claimant with this identification card the vehicle, so recognize that the vehicle-side identification means and bring the door handle 43 in a second, in Fig. 6b and 7b by the auxiliary line 43.2 clarified second position, the hereinafter referred to as "ready position". There is a Pivoting movement about the substantially horizontal pivot axis 50 in Meaning of the apparent from Fig. 4a and 6b movement arrow 45. Both are Assemblies 30, 40 pivoted together. This is done by motor, e.g. through a in FIGS. 6a to 6c identifiable eccentric 35, which is driven by a motor.

In the rest position 43.1 of the handle of Fig. 6a, the eccentric 35 is still in a distance 36 to the starting piece 32 of a bearing arm 22. After triggering the Access authorization, the eccentric motor is turned on and the eccentric 35 moves the door handle 43 in the ready position 43.2 of Fig. 6b and then stops. Of the Door handle 43 then passes into a sufficiently large, from Fig. 6b apparent distance 44 to the trough so that it manually detected by the authorized user manually can be.

When the access authorization is triggered, the door lock can also be in his be unlocked position, provided that the lock was previously in his secured position. In the secured position of the door lock is a Operation of a door handle ineffective. This reversal of the lock can in Emergency, as already mentioned, by the emergency key 19 on the lock cylinder 18 be effected.

Between the actuator 20 and the fixed parts 10 acts in FIG. 3 by a force arrow 24 clarified restoring force in the region of the pivot axis 50th is arranged and endeavors, the door handle 43 in its rest position 43.1 move back. The aforesaid motor adjustment of the whole Actuator 20 through the eccentric 35 takes place against this restoring force. These ensures that the door handle 43 flush with the surface of the trough-approach 17th comes to rest according to Fig. 6a.

Between the bearing group 30 and the grip group 40 there are two of Fig. 6b visible connections 61, 62, which one by the arrow 46 clarified Allow relative movement to each other. There are between the two modules 30, 40 but still another spring load, in Fig. 6b by the force of the arrow 25th is illustrated. The restoring force 25 ensures that the grip group 40 with a Shoulder 47 rests against a counter shoulder 37 of the bearing group 30, as in Fig. 7a is seen. This also applies to the ready position, as is apparent from Fig. 7b.

The first connection means 61 consists, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7a, of a Sliding link, which in the present case from a shaft 48 on the handle group 40th and a receptacle receiving it 38 on the bearing group 30 consists. The shaft 48 allows a telescopic movement of the grip group 40 relative to the bearing group 30, which comes into effect when, starting from that shown in Fig. 6b Standby position 43.2 of the door handle 43 manually in the direction of arrow 46 to a third, from Fig. 6c apparent working position is moved further, in Fig. 6c and 7c is shown. The shaft 48 is completely out of its receptacle in the ready position 38 extended telescopically. The aforementioned handle side shoulder 47 is of the bearing-side counter-shoulder 37 removed.

As already mentioned, this second stage motion 46 between the ready position 43.2 of Fig. 6b in the working position 43.3 of FIG. 6c a rotary motion. This is possible because, as Fig. 6a shows, the second one Connection 62 between the starting piece 32 and the end piece 42 of the other Lagerarms 22 is a rotary joint. Serves a bearing pin and Bearing mounts between these sections 32, 42, which a rotation axis 60th determine. Its position is also illustrated in Fig. 1 by a dashed line. This axis of rotation 60 extends substantially vertically in the in the door wall 15th mounted device, while, as already mentioned, the pivot axis 50 in essentially horizontally and lies in a plane parallel to the door wall 15. The different movements when pivoting 35 and turning 46 are not only from Fig. 6b, but also from Figs. 4b and 4c to see. They take place in two different levels, namely the pivoting 45 in a vertical plane, however turning 46 in a slightly inclined horizontal plane. In position 43.3 of the door handle 43 of Fig. 4a, the vertical axis 60 is substantially vertical. The but two sections 22, 32 of the arm are angled to each other. At the transition into the ready position 43.2 of Fig. 4b is the rotation axis 60 already in a order an inclination position indicated by 26, which is a Can have an angle of about 5 °. This inclination position of the rotation axis 60 remains obtained when the door handle 43 in his from Fig. 4c apparent working position 43.3 arrives. This is because the bearing group 30 by end stops 29, 39 in their from Fig. 7b and 7c apparent Schwenkendlage 30.2 is held, the there through corresponding auxiliary lines is marked. The end stop 39 in the recording 38 of the bearing group 30, comes with a counter-stop 29 from the carrier 13 in Touch, which previously, in the rest position 43.1 of Fig. 7a to each other were spaced. These determine the aforementioned rotation angle of about 5 °. in the Case of rest of the device when the eccentric 35 is not against the actuator unit 20th acts, the bearing group 30 is in their from Fig. 6a and 7a apparent Pivoting initial position, which is marked with the auxiliary line 30.1.

In connection 61, a lock 52 shown in FIGS. 7a to 7c is provided, which blocks these while the above-described pivoting movement 45, but in the ready position 43.2 for the further rotational movement 46 is ineffective. The Lock 52 arises in the different positions 43.1 to 43.3 of the Door handle 43 on automatically. This purpose is served by a freely movable locking member, which in the present case consists of a roller 53. This role 53 sits in an outbreak 27 of a recording 38 limiting side wall 34. The wall 34, her breakthrough 27 and the roller 53 are dimensioned so that in the of Fig. 7a apparent Schwenkanfangslage 30.1 the roller 53 in some areas in an outbreak 49 of the shaft 48 intervenes. The shaft 48 has a stepped stem profile as shown by the Hatching in Fig. 7a results and also from Fig. 2 can be seen. The associated recording 38 is C-shaped profiled, as also Fig. 2 shows. From Fig. 2 it follows that the C-opening 58 of this C-profile 28 is partially closed by a web, the one Round profile has, as can be seen from Fig. 7a. The bridge 55 attacks him facing longitudinal edge 63 at. As shown in Fig. 7a, the roller 53 is on her Outbreak 49 opposite side on a counter locking surface 54 of the fixed part 10, namely, the carrier 13. Thus, the connection 61 in Fig. 7a is blocked; the role 53 connects the shaft 48 with the bearing group 30. In the pivoting initial position 30.1 So are the handle group 40 effectively locked with the bearing group 30 and can only be moved together in the direction of the arrow 45 of FIG. 6b.

But if the pivot end position 30.2 of the bearing group 30 is reached, then arise the conditions shown in Fig. 7b. Now the breakout 49 is in the grip side Shank 48 in alignment with a recess 59 in the carrier 13 of the fixed part 10th came. The breakout 59 of the stem has slope surfaces 56 which provide that in the above, now onset of rotation 46, the roller 53 itself by itself in the direction of the arrow 57 of Fig. 7b in the stationary recess 59th moved over, as can be seen from Fig. 7c. Now the lock is 52 has become ineffective, the shaft 48 can now be replaced by the double arrow 65 of FIG. 7b and 7c apparent sliding movement relative to the receptacle 38 in the Swivel end position 30.2 Carry out remaining storage group 30. In the working position of Fig. 6c and 7c, the shaft 48 has with its outbreak 49 of the roller 53 far away. The shaft 48 abuts against the roller 53 with a blocking surface 64 and holds it in the recess 59 back. In the sliding movement 65, the roller 53 at this Locking surfaces 64 slide along, which is why because of the low friction losses the Rotary movement 46 of the door handle 43 between the ready position 43.2 and the Working position 43.3 is particularly smooth. The round profile of the Stegs 55 at.

For actuating the already mentioned above, belonging to the lock input member 51st serves with the shaft 48 mitbeweglicher driver, in the present case from a sitting on the shaft end, protruding fingers 66 is. In the Pivoting initial position 30.1 of the combined actuating unit 20 from 30 and 40 the finger 66 is at a distance from the input member 51, as Fig. 7a recognize leaves. By mentioned motor adjustment to the pivot end 30.2 of FIG. 7b is still no operation of the lock input member 51. In Fig. 7b has the Finger 66 moved close to the input member 51. Only then, at the Rotary movement 46 to the final working position 43.3 of the grip group 40 moves the finger 66, the input member 51, as shown in FIG. 7c. This will be the associated lock opened and the door can be opened.

Leaves the claimant the detected door handle 43 in the working position 43.3 of Fig. 7c or 6c go, so is due to the already mentioned restoring force 25, the grip group 40 moved back against the camp group 30, which is still in their Pivot end 30.2 of Fig. 7b is located. The further return movement of Handle group 40 to the rest position 43.1 of the door handle 43 is again motorized, via the eccentric 35. Both assemblies 30, 40 are by the force load 24 between the bearing group and the fixed part 10 together by turning back the Exzenters 35 from the pivot end 30.2 of Fig. 7b back into the Swivel initial position 30.1 of Fig. 7a moved back.
