Definitions

• TITLE DOOR HANDLE WITH DOUBLE OPENING SYSTEM
• the invention relates to a door handle, in particular a door handle for a motor vehicle.
• the invention also relates to a door comprising such a door handle and to a vehicle equipped with such a door.
• Vehicle doors generally include a handle for opening the door.
• a handle for opening the door.
• such a handle has drawbacks. Especially if the user wanting to open the door with his arms loaded, he can hardly grab and pull the handle. He must then deposit his load, and open the door before depositing his load in the vehicle.
• a door is known, in particular of the type of a hinged door for access to a vehicle trunk, as well as a side sliding door allowing access to a load volume and / or a passenger compartment.
• There are known devices for automated movement of these doors comprising a presence sensor under the vehicle controlling the automatic opening / closing of the door. The user can then make a leg and foot movement near the sensor. The latter detects the intention to open the door and controls the opening of the door.
• this solution is not intuitive because the sensor is installed invisibly from outside the vehicle, so that the user has uncertainties as to the location of the movement detection zone.
• the drawbacks to the implantation of the sensor have also been noted, which can make it inoperative, as is the case when the sensor is placed in an environment subject to mud, as is the case on a construction site.
• lifting a foot to open the vehicle can be dangerous and lead to a risk of falling, which is not acceptable for a professional.
• the object of the invention is to provide a device for opening a door overcoming the above drawbacks and improving the door opening devices known from the prior art.
• the invention makes it possible to produce a door opening which is ergonomic, simple and reliable and which allows opening without risk for a person carrying heavy loads.
• the invention also makes it possible to improve access to the loading or passenger compartment area without resorting to a complex and costly solution for fully automated door opening.
• the invention therefore relates to a door handle, in particular of a motor vehicle door comprising a body intended to be mounted mobile for the disengagement of at least one door lock by displacement, in particular by displacement by traction of said body relative to a door. ; and comprising a trigger mounted movable relative to the body between a rest position and an activation position, so as to be able to reach the activation position by pressing on said trigger for the disengagement of the door lock.
• the handle comprises a switch arranged to be actuated when the trigger is in the activation position and configured so that the actuation of the switch controls the disengagement of the door lock.
• the trigger is movably mounted on the body by a first pivot link.
• the trigger comprises a support area and the axis of the first pivot link is located outside or at a distance from said support area.
• the handle includes a return spring so as to maintain the trigger in the rest position when no force is applied to the trigger.
• the invention also relates to a vehicle door comprising a handle according to the invention.
• the handle body is movably mounted on the door via a second pivot link.
• the invention finally relates to a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle comprising a door according to the invention.
• Figure 1 is an exploded view of an embodiment of the door handle.
• Figure 2 is a sectional view of an embodiment of the door handle in which the trigger is in the rest position.

• the body 2 is arranged to control the disengagement of locks 25 from door 30 by gripping.
• the body is arranged to control the disengagement of the locks 25 from the door 30 when a user takes hold of the body 2 of the handle 1 and moves it relative to a panel of the door by pulling on the body.
• the body 2 is preferably designed to be mounted relative to the door 30 in a mechanical connection with at least one degree of freedom in rotation, in particular around the pivot 17. This degree of freedom in rotation, authorizes the movement of the body 2 between at least a first position and a second position.
• the axis of the pivot connection is for example parallel or substantially parallel to the door panel on which the handle is mounted.
• the handle 1 preferably comprises a cover 3 intended to cover the movable body 2 for a better grip of the body 2 by the user.

• a force transmission means disposed between the handle and at least one lock.
• Such a force transmission means is of the mechanical or electrical type which is capable of assuming a engaged state in which it transfers the tensile force from the handle to the locks or a disengaged state in which the handle and the locks are separated.
• Such a force transmission means thus ensures a mechanical filtering function by transmitting or not the traction force of the handle to operate the switching from a locked state to an unlocked state of at least one door lock, preferably a high lock and a low rear door lock.
• Mechanical filtering can be done mechanically, by a bistable which acts mechanically on the force transmission cables connecting each of the locks to the handle.
