- the unlocked vehicle door can be closed or opened via the inner door handle gripped by one hand.
- the handle portion of the inner door handle is shown so that it is located in the vehicle longitudinal direction approximately in the middle of the vehicle door, whereby he is not always favorable to take from different sized people.
- the grip area is covered by the arm and thus only to be grasped when the arm is removed from the arm rest.
- a door opener is still indicated, which appears fixed with a small height distance from the armrest on the front armrest area on the inside of the vehicle door.
- the armrest can not be made adjustable upwards, otherwise the door opener is not to be taken.
- the invention is based on the object to provide an internal door handle for a motor vehicle with the features in the preamble of claim 1, which is to be taken favorably by different sized people and the arrangement of an armrest and possibly other components on the inside of the vehicle door not or hardly affected , This object is solved by the features specified in claim 1.
- Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
- the armrest can be designed to be manually or motor-adjustable, for example, upwards, since the approximately horizontally arranged inner door handle does not hinder such a height adjustment movement.
- the inner door handle may also extend over a greater length of the vehicle door, without the arrangement being impeded, for example, by switches for raising and lowering the windows on the doors of the motor vehicle or other operating elements, for example a door opener.
- the inner door handle can be designed as a design element, for example in the field of vision as a panel with any surface.
- a door opener in communication with a door lock is provided on the inside of the inner door handle, which can be arranged in front of a trough, for example on the inside of the inner door handle.
- the inner door handle can be manufactured as a separate component and, for example, detachably connected to the inside of the door or a trim arranged thereon, can be visible or invisible.
- FIG. 1 is a simplified perspective view from above on the inside of the vehicle door provided with an interior door handle, without its height-adjustable window and
- Fig. 2 is a simplified sectional view of the inner door handle and its attachment to a trim part on the inside of the vehicle door.
- the inner door handle 1 marked by hatching in FIG. 1 is arranged approximately horizontally on the inside of the side vehicle door 2 of a motor vehicle and is connected at its front and rear area to the vehicle door 2 and / or with a front door. up arranged trim panel 3 connected.
- the inner door handle 1 is arranged in the upper region of the vehicle door 2, if the window pane height-adjustable on the vehicle door 2 and a possibly provided frame of the window pane are disregarded as in the figure.
- the inner door handle 1 has a handlebar region 4 in the vehicle longitudinal direction, which is arranged in front of a trough 5 in the trim part 3 and has a lateral distance from the bottom of the trough 5.
- the middle grip area 4 is thereby to be grasped or held by a hand with which the unlocked vehicle door 2 is to be opened or closed.
- the inner door handle 1 has a vertical distance from an under the inner door handle 1 on the inside of the vehicle door 2 arranged armrest 6, the side of the passenger compartment 7 protrudes slightly and forms an approximately horizontally extending in the door longitudinal armrest surface.
- the middle grip region 4 is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the closed vehicle door 2 in the middle region of the vehicle door 2 and extends approximately over half the length of the vehicle door 2 in the vertical position of the middle grip region 4.
