    Abstract: A door handle assembly for an automobile comprising a grab section being manually actuatable from the outside or the inside of the door of an automobile, which grab section is moveably mounted between a resting position and an opening position on a bearing component to be mounted on the door, and which is connected to an actuating lever, which is also moveably mounted on the bearing component such that the actuating lever upon a movement of the grab section between its resting position and its opening position is also moved between a resting position and an opening position, wherein the grab section is biased into its resting position and wherein the grab section or the actuating lever can be coupled with a lock of the door such that the lock is opened when the grab section is moved from its resting position into its opening position, further comprising a fly weight which is moveably mounted between a releasing position in which it allows a movement of the grab section into its opening position and at least one locking position in which it effects a locking of the grab section against a movement into its opening position, wherein the fly weight is biased into the releasing position and wherein the fly weight is moved into the locking position when a predefined acceleration acts on the door handle assembly which effects an opening force onto the grab section, wherein the fly weight is a metal ball, wherein a bearing section is provided with a pathway receiving the metal ball, wherein the metal ball is moveable along the pathway between the releasing position and the at least one locking position, and wherein the metal ball in the locking position cooperates directly or via a locking element with the grab section or the actuating lever for locking the grab section.

    Abstract: An actuating mechanism for actuating a charging or fueling flap on a charging or fueling compartment received on or in a body component of a vehicle, wherein the charging or fueling flap is reversibly movable between a closed position and an open position, wherein a flap lock is provided for locking the charging or fueling flap in its closed position. The actuating mechanism includes a drive having a drive shaft, which is operatively connectable to the charging or fueling flap such that, upon rotation of the drive shaft, the charging or fueling flap is movable relative to the charging or fueling compartment. The actuating mechanism further includes a mechanical control or switching mechanism, which is configured such that, upon rotation of the drive shaft to manipulate the flap lock, a rotational movement of the drive shaft can be tapped with the aid of the mechanical control or switching mechanism.

    Abstract: An illumination module (1) for highlighting a region of a vehicle component, such as a charging or tank recess (20) or a handle assembly, includes a light source support (2) having at least one light source (3) and a housing (4), in which the light source support with the at least one light source is received. The housing includes a light outlet region (5), via which light can be decoupled from the housing (4). The illumination module (1) further includes a light diffuser (6) optically coupled to the light outlet region of the housing, which diffuser includes a first light outlet region (7), via which light can be decoupled for direct illumination or highlighting of the region of the vehicle component and which includes a second light outlet region (8), which is spatially separated from the first light outlet region (7) via which signal light can be decoupled.
