Abstract

Bei einer Türgriffanordnung für ein Kraftfahrzeug mit einem Griffträger (6), einer Handhabe (4), einer Kopplungsvorrichtung (7) und einer Sperrvorrichtung (8), welche bewegbar an dem Griffträger (6) gehalten ist und derart ausgebildet ist, dass sie bei Einwirkung einer Beschleunigungskraft aufgrund der Trägheit ihrer Masse aus einer Ruheposition, in welcher eine Betätigung der Handhabe (4) möglich ist, in eine erste Blockierungsrichtung (19), in welcher eine Betätigung der Schließanordnung (5) durch die Handhabe (4) und/oder die Kopplungsvorrichtung (7) blockiert ist, bewegbar ist, soll eine Lösung geschaffen werden, die auf konstruktiv einfache Weise und kostengünstig eine Türgriffanordnung bereitstellt, bei der die Sperrvorrichtung auch bei alternierenden Beschleunigungskräften infolge eines Crashfalls zuverlässig und sicher die Handhabe bzw. die Kopplungsvorrichtung blockiert. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, dass die Sperrvorrichtung (8) bei Einwirkung einer Beschleunigungskraft aufgrund der Trägheit ihrer Masse aus der Ruheposition in eine zweite Blockierungsrichtung (26), in welcher eine Betätigung der Schließanordnung (5) durch die Handhabe (4) und/oder die Kopplungsvorrichtung (7) blockiert ist, bewegbar ausgebildet ist, wobei die zweite Blockierungsrichtung (26) der ersten Blockierungsrichtung (19) entgegengesetzt ist.

In a door handle assembly for a motor vehicle having a handle support (6), a handle (4), a coupling device (7) and a locking device (8), which is movably held on the handle support (6) and is formed so that they act upon impact an acceleration force due to the inertia of its mass from a rest position, in which an actuation of the handle (4) is possible, in a first blocking direction (19), in which an actuation of the closing arrangement (5) by the handle (4) and / or Coupling device (7) is blocked, is movable, a solution is to be created, which provides a door handle assembly in a structurally simple manner and cost, in which the locking device reliably and safely blocks the handle or the coupling device even with alternating acceleration forces due to a crash. This is achieved in that the locking device (8) upon application of an acceleration force due to the inertia of their mass from the rest position in a second blocking direction (26), in which an actuation of the closing arrangement (5) by the handle (4) and / or the Coupling device (7) is blocked, is designed to be movable, wherein the second blocking direction (26) of the first blocking direction (19) is opposite.
