VEHICLE DOOR HANDLE LOCKING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC E05B7/00 

FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: the inertial system contains inertia mass (21), driven by inertia forces from the initial position, in which the door can be opened, to the locking position where the door opening is blocked; locking means (25) preventing door opening when inertia mass (21) is in the locking position; elastic means (17) in the state of minimum stress when inertia mass (21) is in the initial position and capable of applying a force or torque to inertial mass (21) to transfer it from the locking position to the starting position. The inertial system further comprises a preload element (29) cooperating with elastic means (17) and configured to have at least two pre-loaded states allowing resilient means (17) to be in states with different minimum voltages. The invention also relates to a corresponding vehicle door handle and a method for assembling a door handle.

EFFECT: increased reliability.
