HANDLE DEVICE
First Claim
1. A handle device for a locking device of a vehicle, said handle device comprising:
- a handle part movably mountable with respect to a door of the vehicle;
a blocking unit preventing unintentional opening of the door as a consequence of the action of accelerations acting on the handle part, the accelerations acting on the vehicle in particular in the event of an accident, wherein the blocking unit can be displaced between a locking position and a release position, wherein movement of the handle part is possible in the release position and movement of the handle part is blocked in the locking position andan actuating unit operatively connected to the blocking unit in such a manner that the blocking unit can be brought from the locking position into the release position via activation of the actuating unit.

Abstract
The invention relates to a handle device for a lock unit (7) of a vehicle, comprising a handle part (10) which is movably mounted relative to a door (5) of the vehicle, a locking unit (40) for preventing unintentional opening of the door (5) caused by accelerations acting upon the handle part (10), especially accelerations such as they act upon the vehicle during a crash, the locking unit (40) being displaceable between a locking position (1) and a release position (2), and a movement of the handle part (10) being enabled in the release position (2) and a movement of the handle part (10) being disabled in the locking position (1). The invention is characterized in that an actuating unit (50) is actively connected to the locking unit (40) such that the locking unit (40) can be brought from the locking position (1) into the release position (2) when the actuating unit (50) is activated.
