HANDLE FOR A MOVABLE PANEL OF A VEHICLE INCLUDING AN INERTIAL BODY AND A FUSE
The invention relates to a handle for a movable panel of a vehicle, including: an inertial body ( 18 ) capable of assuming a position in which the opening of the handle is blocked; and a part ( 12 ) capable of being broken or deformed when a member ( 6 ) for controlling the handle is urged with a degree of force exceeding a predetermined threshold, in order to enable the handle to be opened when the body is in the blocking position.
1 . A handle for a moving panel of a vehicle, comprising:
an inertial mass configured to assume a position of blocking opening of the handle; and
a part configured to deform or break because of an effect of applying a force to an operating member of the handle having an intensity exceeding a predetermined threshold to allow opening when the inertial mass is in a locking position.
2 . The handle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the part is a lever of the handle.
3 . The handle as claimed in claim 1 , in which the lever is configured to transmit a movement of the operating member to an opening mechanism of the handle.
4 . The handle as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the lever is arranged to be in direct contact with the mass.
5 . The handle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the threshold has a value of 500 newtons.
6 . The handle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the part has a thinner preferential rupture area.
7 . The handle as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the thinner area is provided in a plane portion of the part.
8 . The handle as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the thinner area is U-shaped.
9 . The handle as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a frame forming an abutment for the mass on rupture or deformation of the part.
10 . The handle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the handle is configured to prevent the inertial mass moving from the locking position to a rest position allowing opening.
