  • a handle assembly from the DE 10 2017 117 722 A1 known having a handle which is arranged flush with the street in its retracted position and which can be moved by a motor from the retracted position into an extended position.
  • a handle is preferably used in electric cars in which the handle extends with a power-driven drive element from its retracted position flush with the street or flush with the surface, in which the handle is arranged to reduce air resistance, into the extended position when an authorized operator approaches the motor vehicle. As soon as the handle is no longer needed, it moves back into the retracted position and thus disappears into the body to avoid generating air resistance.

  • the invention provides a handle assembly for a motor vehicle that is characterized by a simple design and a special concept in terms of overcoming a blockage or resistance when the handle is moving at the beginning of the extension process.
  • the pre-release lever ensures that a lever force is exerted on the handle in the direction of the extended position, which acts before the force of the main release lever. This makes it possible to apply a force to the handle before the actual extension process begins, by which the handle is only moved a small distance in the direction of the extended position, without the handle reaching the extended position. Rather, by slightly moving the handle before the actual extension movement with the help of the pre-deployment lever, a movement resistance or a possible blocking of the movement of the handle is released.

  • the two-armed design of the pre-release lever allows flexible adjustment of the function and of the force of the pre-release lever to be exerted on the handle.
  • the first lever arm has a length which corresponds to at least twice the length of the second lever arm.
  • this embodiment uses the set of levers so that the pre-deployment lever exerts as great a force as possible on the handle. In contrast to the main deployment lever, this force only has to act over a short movement path of the handle and at the same time over a short movement path of the pre-deployment lever, whereas the main deployment lever, in contrast, has to cover a significantly longer path to deploy the handle, see above that the variability of Leverage ratios for the main release lever is severely restricted.

  • the pressure pin 35 presses against the first lever arm 30 of the pre-release lever 17 and rotates the release lever 17 about the pivot axis 29, so that the in figure 23 shown position is reached, in which the drive element 6 is arranged in the pre-extension position and the handle 4, which is represented by the coupling axis 4e, from the in figure 22 present retracted position is arranged to move in the direction of the extended position.
  • the pre-release force 27 acts on the handle 4 through the pre-release lever 17, as is shown schematically in figure 23 is shown.
  • a handle arrangement 3 has been described above, which is characterized in that during operation the drive element 6 executes a drive movement divided into the main deployment path 25 and the pre-deployment path 26 upstream of the main deployment path 25, with the drive element 6 during its drive movement along the pre-deployment path 26 is designed to be movement-decoupled from the main deployment lever 16 .
  • This is achieved in that, when the drive element 6 moves along the pre-release path 26 , the movement pin 21 is arranged at a distance from the main release lever 16 .
  • the pre-release lever 17 rotatably mounted on the support housing 8 is also designed to urge the handle 4 in the direction of the extended position during the drive movement of the drive element 6 along the pre-release path 26 .
  • the pre-deployment lever 17 is movement-coupled to the drive element 6 during the drive movement of the drive element 6 along the pre-deployment path 26, whereas the pre-deployment lever 17 during the drive movement of the drive element 6 along the main deployment path 25 of the drive element 6 is designed to be decoupled in terms of movement.
  • the push pin 35 is arranged at a distance from the pre-deployment lever 17 .
  • the pre-release lever 17 is also designed to exert the pre-release force 27 on the handle 4 during the drive movement of the drive element 6 along the pre-release path 26 , the pre-release force 27 being greater than that acting on the handle 4 Main deployment force 28 of the main deployment lever 16 during the drive movement of the drive element 6 along the main deployment path 25.
  • the drive movement of the motor-driven drive element 6 is designed as a rotary movement about the drive axis 33, with the drive element 6 moving from the basic position, in which the handle 4 is arranged in its retracted position, via the pre-opening position to the main open position, in which the handle 4 is arranged in the extended position, moved rotationally.
  • the movement pin 21 pushes against the main deployment lever 16, rotates the main deployment lever 16 about the axis of rotation 18 and moves the handle 4 into the extended position. Furthermore, the moving pin 21 and the pressing pin 35 are arranged at different circumferential positions of the driving member 6 with respect to the driving axis 24 .
