Description
- The invention relates to a handle configuration according to the preamble of
claim 1. The invention relates also to a motor vehicle. - A vehicle door is equipped on the inside with opening means for causing an opening mechanism to put the door into an openable state. The opening means normally takes the form of a separate unit connected to a wire whereby, when the operating means is used for opening purposes, the opening mechanism imparts to the wire a pulling motion which puts the door into an openable state.
- To operate the vehicle door, i.e. to open or close it, it is provided with an interior closing handle. This normally entails change of hand grip from the operating means to the closing handle, with consequent risk of losing control of the door between releasing the opening means and grasping the closing handle, e.g. when there is strong wind or the door is heavy or the like.
- One solution to this is for the opening means to be situated close to the closing handle to make it possible to open the door with the same hand grip.

Easy and ergonomic opening and closing are thus made possible in that a single hand grip involving no change of hand grip is made possible by said articulated lever arm element, resulting in safer operation of the vehicle door. Such a handle configuration with said lever arm element preferably situated at the underside of the closing handle will lead the operator when operating the closing handle to intuitively grip round the closing handle's lever arm element when opening the door and to grip on the side of the lever arm element when closing the door. The result is a handle configuration which is efficient with regard to space in that the link configuration is situated in the closing handle whereby said lever arm element articulated relative to the closing handle helps to facilitate compactness of the link configuration in the closing handle.
Said opening mechanism comprises a wire device adapted to being subjected to pulling motion by said link configuration in order to put the vehicle door into an openable state, resulting in an effective way of putting the door into an openable state.
Said link configuration comprises a separate link arm element adapted to actuating said wire device, with consequent scope for different designs of the link configuration depending on the formation of the closing handle.
Said wire device is arranged to run in the closing handle from said link arm element in the same direction as the lever arm element, wherein the link arm element is arranged for pivoting in the closing handle about a pivot which is firmly connected to the closing handle.
In one embodiment of said handle configuration said lever arm element partly protrudes from the closing handle, facilitating the opening operation in that the lever arm element is readily accessible and leads the operator intuitively and in a tactile way to perform said opening operation when gripping the closing handle. - In one embodiment of said handle configuration said lever arm element is suspended for articulation at its one end and has a pivotable free end, with consequent scope for efficient operation of the lever arm element.
In one embodiment of said handle configuration said link configuration comprises said pivotable end of the lever arm element, resulting in effective pulling motion of said wire. - In one embodiment of said handle configuration said link configuration comprises part of said lever arm element close to said one end, resulting in effective pulling motion of said wire.
