  • the fastening device 80 can be seen with corresponding storage means at storage points 81, which can be used, for example, in a respective receptacle of the movable part 1.
  • the in Figure 2 The outside door handle 10 shown is mounted immovably on the movable part 1 and is therefore designed as a fixed outside door handle 10. At least one or two or all of the storage means of the fastening device 80 can be designed as a fixed bearing at the at least one storage point 81. The at least one storage point 81 thus forms a fixed storage point.
  • the deformation area 40 is marked. It can be seen that an outside 20.2 of the wall 22, which is normally visible from the outside by an operator 5, is designed as a flat and closed surface of the outside door handle 10. The deformation area 40 is therefore not visible to the operator 5 from the outside.
  • FIG 3 is a sectional view through the in Figure 4 marked section plane AA shown.
  • the deformation area 40 is formed on the outside on the outside 20.2 of the door handle body 20 as a closed surface and on the inside on the inside 20.1 with a recess 50.

  • the deformability of the wall 22 in the deformation area 40 differs in particular from the deformability of areas of the wall 22 outside the deformation area 40, whereby the sensor device 30 is not moved in the same way during an activation action as the wall 22 in the deformation area 40. If the sensor device 30 is independent is supported by the deformation region 40 at at least one sensor mounting point 33, a structural adjustment 50 is not absolutely necessary. Even if there is no recess 50, due to the storage of the sensor device 30, regardless of the Deformation area 40 can be achieved so that the deformation of the door handle body 20 can be detected by the inductance measurement. The structural adjustment 50 causes a further increase in the sensitivity of the measurement.
  • the sensor device 30 is arranged on a circuit board 31 and/or is electrically connected to further electronics.
  • the sensor device 30 is attached to a holding device 32.
  • the holding device 32 is designed such that a deformation in the deformation area 40 due to the activation action essentially does not affect the position of the sensor device 30 in the interior 20.3.
  • the deformation has a significant and specific effect on the distance D between the sensor device 30 and the activation means 60, whereby the degree of deformation can be measured based on the distance D and/or the change in inductance.
  • the storage of the sensor device 30 in the interior 20.3 of the door handle body 20 is preferably carried out independently of the deformation area 40 and/or of a storage of the activation means 60 and/or the wall 22.
  • the sensor device 30 can be attached to the wall 22 in such a way that a deformation or movement in the deformation region 40 does not (substantially or in the same way) affect the position of the sensor device 30.
  • the sensor device 30 is, for example, stored in a rear region of the wall 22, which is at least partially separated or separable (e.g. in two parts) from a front region of the wall 22 with the deformation region 40.

Furthermore, a first storage point 81a and a second storage point 81b of the outside door handle 10 can be seen.
  • the outside door handle 10 shown is designed as a fixed outside door handle 10, with a structural adjustment 50 being provided on an inside 20.1 of the wall 22.
  • a sensor device 30 is provided for monitoring an activation means 60, the activation means 60 being within the recess 50, ie in the deformation area 40 is arranged.
  • the activating agent 60 is designed here in particular as a coating on the wall 22. If an operator 5 now reaches into the recessed grip 21 around the door handle body 20 and exerts a force in the deformation area 40, the wall 22 is deformed in the deformation area 40. This deformation also causes a deformation of the activating means 60 and/or a reduction in the Distance D between the activation means 60 and the sensor device 30 takes place. The change in the distance D and/or the geometry of the activation means 60 can be detected by an inductance measurement by the sensor device 30 in order to detect the activation action.

Additionally or simultaneously, the application of force, ie the activation action, in the deformation region 40 can be detected by the sensor device 30. It is, for example, conceivable that both the sensor device 30 and the actuation of the outside door handle 10 by a movement in the direction of the arrow activate a function of the vehicle 3, e.g. B. causes the electric lock 2 to open.
  • the activating agent 60 is here z. B. designed as an electrically conductive plate.

  • an outside structural adjustment 50 is provided on at least one outside 20.2 of a wall 22 of a door handle body 20 of the outside door handle 10 according to the invention.
  • This has the advantage that the deformation area 40, on which an activation action in particular is carried out by an operator 5, can be recognized by the operator 5.
  • a force can be exerted on the wall 22, which results in a deformation of the wall 22 in the deformation region 40 and/or an activating means 60 in the deformation region 40 and/or a reduction in a distance D between the activating means 60 and the sensor device 30 effects.
