Claims (25)

1. A handle device of a door leaf, in particular for a motor vehicle, the handle device comprising:

a handle support mounted from inside the door leaf and including a handle; and

a window mounted from outside of the door leaf, the window being fastened to the handle support from a clearance of the door leaf, and the window extending through a guide inwardly of the door leaf which includes an opening to allow access by a hand to the handle,

wherein the window comprises retaining elements provided to be engaged with complementary retaining elements of the handle support;

wherein the retaining elements include a first retaining element and a second retaining element, and the complementary retaining elements include slots and notches; and

wherein said first retaining element is formed by an upper finger, said first retaining element being configured to engage a slot of the handle support; the second retaining element is formed by a lower finger, the second retaining element being configured to be inserted into a notch of the handle support in order to keep the window in a predetermined position on the handle support,

wherein the handle is formed by a movable flap, the movable flap being guided in rotation about a horizontal axis, the movable flap including a tubular protrusion at an end, said tubular protrusion extending longitudinally according to the horizontal axis;

wherein said tubular protrusion includes a control arm extending perpendicularly to a longitudinal direction of the tubular protrusion, the control arm allowing the actuation of a lever via an actuating element oriented along a vertical axis;

wherein an end of the actuating element provided with a ball joint is inserted into an angular portion of the lever to emerge from a linear perforation of the lever;

wherein an opposite end of the actuating element also provided with a ball joint fits into a slot formed at the end of the control arm.

2. The handle device according to claim 1 , wherein the opening is formed on an upper wall of the guide of the window.
