Die Sicherheit gegen ein Ablösen des Abdeckelements vom Griffkörper wird weiter verbessert, wenn das Abdeckelement und der Griffkörper über zusätzliche Befestigungsmittel miteinander verbunden sind, wobei die Befestigungsmittel an dem Abdeckelement und/oder am Griffkörper angeordnet sind. Wenn der Kraftspeicher beschädigt oder defekt sein sollte, so sorgen die zusätzlichen Befestigungsmittel dafür, dass das Abdeckelement weiterhin am Griffkörper befestigt bleibt. Die Sicherheit wird dadurch zusätzlich erhöht, dass, insbesondere während der Fahrt des Kraftfahrzeugs, ein Lösen des Abdeckelements vom Griffkörper ausgeschlossen ist. Des Weiteren wird durch die zusätzlichen Befestigungsmittel die Verbindung zwischen dem Abdeckelement und dem Griffkörper stabiler, so dass ein Ablösen des Abdeckelements vom Griffkörpers auch durch starke Erschütterungen des Griffkörpers verhindert wird.The security against detachment of the cover from the handle body is further improved when the cover and the handle body are connected to each other via additional fastening means, wherein the fastening means are arranged on the cover and / or on the handle body. If the force accumulator should be damaged or defective, the additional fasteners ensure that the cover remains attached to the handle body. The security is further increased by the fact that, especially during the drive of the motor vehicle, a release of the cover is excluded from the handle body. Furthermore, the connection between the cover and the handle body is stable due to the additional fastening means, so that a detachment of the cover from the handle body is also prevented by strong vibrations of the handle body.

Das Bewegen des Abdeckelements wird vereinfacht, wenn das Befestigungsmittel als Führungsnuten oder Führungsrippen ausgebildet sind, wobei die Führungsrippen und Führungsnuten miteinander im Eingriff sind, wenn das Abdeckelement mit dem Griffkörper verbunden ist.

Es ist besonders vorteilhaft, wenn der Betätigungsabschnitt des Kraftspeichers Rippen aufweist. Dadurch, dass der Betätigungsabschnitt mit Hilfe der Rippen versehen wird, weiß der Benutzer genau, welche Stelle am Kraftspeicher betätigt werden muss, um die Verbindung zwischen dem Abdeckelement und dem Griffkörper zu lösen. Eine Fehlbetätigung des Kraftspeicher wird dadurch in vorteilhafterweise verhindert. Wenn der Benutzer mit einem Körperteil, insbesondere mit seinem Finger oder Daumen, den Betätigungsabschnitt zur Betätigung des Kraftspeichers berührt bzw. drückt, wird verhindert, dass der Benutzer mit seinem Körperteil auf dem Betätigungsabschnitt abrutscht. Die Reibkräfte zwischen dem Körperteil und dem Betätigungsabschnitt werden folglich erhöht. Dadurch wird die Betätigung des Kraftspeichers für den Benutzer komfortabler und sicherer. Ein Ablösen des Abdeckelements von dem Griffkörper wird daher vereinfacht.It is particularly advantageous if the actuating portion of the force accumulator has ribs. Characterized in that the actuating portion is provided by means of the ribs, the user knows exactly which position on the energy storage device must be operated to release the connection between the cover and the handle body. A misoperation of the energy storage is thereby advantageously prevented. If the user touches a body part, in particular a finger or a thumb, on the operation section for actuating the force accumulator, the user is prevented from slipping off with his body part on the operation section. The frictional forces between the body part and the operating portion are thus increased. As a result, the operation of the energy storage for the user more comfortable and secure. A detachment of the cover from the handle body is therefore simplified.

Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung des Türgriffs ist vorgesehen, dass der Kraftspeicher einen Bügel umfasst, welcher sich in einer, insbesondere komplementären, Ausnehmung des Griffkörpers oder des Abdeckelements abstützt.According to a further embodiment of the door handle is provided that the force accumulator comprises a bracket, which is supported in a, in particular complementary, recess of the handle body or the cover.

Durch diese Maßnahme wird sichergestellt, dass der Kraftspeicher das Abdeckelement sowohl fest, als auch nachträglich lösbar, mit dem Griffkörper verbindet. Des Weiteren sorgt der Bügel für eine sichere Abstützung des Kraftspeichers an dem Abdeckelement oder an dem Griffkörper.By this measure, it is ensured that the energy storage the cover both solid, and subsequently releasably connected to the handle body. Furthermore, the bracket provides for a secure support of the force accumulator on the cover or on the handle body.

Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass durch eine Betätigung des Betätigungsabschnitts des Kraftspeichers die formschlüssige und/oder kraftschlüssige Verbindung zwischen dem Abdeckelement und dem Griffkörper lösbar ist. Damit wird sichergestellt, dass sich das Abdeckelement sicher und einfach lösen lässt.According to a preferred embodiment, it is provided that the form-fitting and / or non-positive connection between the cover member and the handle body can be released by an actuation of the actuating portion of the force accumulator. This ensures that the cover can be solved safely and easily.

Es ist von Vorteil, wenn der Kraftspeicher als Blattfeder ausgebildet ist. Dadurch können mit Hilfe des Kraftspeichers Kräfte aufgebracht werden, welche das Abdeckelement und den Griffkörper miteinander fest und sicher verbinden. Die Blattfeder ist sehr kostengünstig in ihrer Herstellung und benötigt nur einen geringen Bauraum, so dass der Türgriff kompakter hergestellt werden kann.It is advantageous if the energy accumulator is designed as a leaf spring. As a result, forces can be applied by means of the force accumulator which firmly and securely connect the cover element and the grip body with one another. The leaf spring is very inexpensive in their production and only requires a small space, so that the door handle can be made more compact.

Es kann auf ein zusätzliches Bauteil verzichtet werden, wenn das Abdeckelement als Blende ausgebildet ist, wobei das Abdeckelement flächenbündig an dem Griffkörper angeordnet ist. Dabei kann das Abdeckelement mit einer Chromleiste versehen werden. Durch die flächenbündige Anordnung des Abdeckelements in dem Griffkörper wird der Luftwiderstandsbeiwert des Türgriffs verbessert. Die während der Fahrt des Kraftfahrzeugs am Griffkörper und am Abdeckelement vorbeiströmende Luft wird weniger verwirbelt, weil durch die flächenbündige Anordnung der beiden Bauteile der Türgriff weniger Abrisskanten aufweist, hinter denen sich Luftwirbel bilden können.It can be dispensed with an additional component when the cover is designed as a panel, wherein the cover is arranged flush with the handle body. In this case, the cover can be provided with a chrome strip. Due to the flush arrangement of the cover in the handle body of the drag coefficient of the door handle is improved. The air flowing past the handle body and the cover element during the drive of the motor vehicle is less swirled because the door handle has fewer tear-off edges due to the flush arrangement of the two components, behind which air swirls can form.

Nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Türgriffs ist vorgesehen, dass hinter dem Abdeckelement ein Funktionsteil, insbesondere ein Schließzylinder, angeordnet ist. Nachdem das Abdeckelement die Öffnung oder Ausnehmung freigegeben hat, ist das Funktionsteil für einen Benutzer zugänglich. Das Funktionsteil könnte auch als Schließzylinder ausgebildet sein, welches hinter der Öffnung oder Ausnehmung des Schließzylinders angeordnet ist. Falls bei dem Kraftfahrzeug das elektronische Schließsystem ausfällt, so kann die Türe des Kraftfahrzeugs manuell und mechanisch mit Hilfe des Schließzylinders und eines entsprechenden Schlüssels geöffnet werden. Das Abdeckelement wird dann bewegt, indem der Benutzer beispielsweise den Kraftspeicher an seinem Betätigungsabschnitt betätigt. Der Benutzer bewegt das Abdeckelement zur Seite und hat über die Öffnung oder Ausnehmung einen Zugang zum Schließzylinder.According to a further preferred embodiment of the door handle is provided that behind the cover a functional part, in particular a lock cylinder is arranged. After the cover has released the opening or recess, the functional part is accessible to a user. The functional part could also be designed as a lock cylinder, which is arranged behind the opening or recess of the lock cylinder. If the electronic locking system fails in the motor vehicle, then the door of the motor vehicle can be opened manually and mechanically with the aid of the lock cylinder and a corresponding key. The cover is then moved by the user, for example, operates the power storage at its operating portion. The user moves the cover to the side and has access to the lock cylinder via the opening or recess.

Um das Funktionsteil sicher und geschützt anzuordnen, ist das Funktionsteil innerhalb des Griffkörpers angeordnet oder an einem Türblech einer Karosserie des Kraftfahrzeugs angeordnet oder an einem Lagerbügel angeordnet, welcher zur Lagerung des Griffkörpers dient.In order to arrange the functional part safe and protected, the functional part is disposed within the handle body or arranged on a door panel of a body of the motor vehicle or arranged on a bearing bracket, which serves to support the handle body.

Sehr komfortabel ist die Bedienung des Türgriffs, wenn der Türgriff als Ziehgriff oder als Klappgriff ausgebildet ist.Very comfortable is the operation of the door handle when the door handle is designed as a pull handle or as a folding handle.

Um sicherzustellen, dass das Abdeckelement zuverlässig in der aktiven Stellung bewegbar ist, ist vorgesehen, dass in der aktiven Stellung mindestens ein Abschnitt des Griffkörpers einen größeren Abstand zur Tür, insbesondere zum Türblech, aufweist als in der passiven Stellung.To ensure that the cover is reliably movable in the active position, it is provided that in the active position at least a portion the handle body has a greater distance from the door, in particular to the door panel, than in the passive position.
