[0034] The technology generally relates to minivan sliding door handle assemblies and exteriors. In particular, the handle assembly is provided with an outer surface that is substantially flush with the outer panel or outer surface of the power sliding door. The handle assembly is preferably operated in power mode, however it maintains manual opening / closing operation of the sliding door when necessary. For example, sliding doors are intended to be operated primarily in a power mode, actuated by lightly depressing one of the two opposing ends of the pivoting handle to actuate an internal switch, thereby providing a power open / close function. However, in the event of an emergency or loss of vehicle power, the handle assembly is designed to otherwise maintain a manual mode of operation. To operate the manual mode, the user presses one of the two opposite ends further an additional distance, which releases the locking mechanism, exposing the other of the two ends of the pivoting...

Abstract

A self-centering handle assembly is provided for a vehicle door. The handle assembly includes a pivoting handle base coupled to the vehicle door at a pivot axis, and includes a front face having a first and second opposing ends. The first and seconds ends are configured for a selective pivotal movement in opposite directions about the pivot axis. First and second drive arms are provided extendinga distance from a rear portion of the handle base and configured for coordinated movement with the respective first and second ends of the handle base. A bell crank is provided, coupled to the handleassembly, and configured to rotate about a second pivot axis. Rotation of the bell crank is driven by movement of the first and second drive arms. A biasing member is in contact with the bell crank and urges the bell crank to a return to a self-centering, rest position.
