Operating Mechanism for Operating Vehicle Doors - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18509577 titled 'Operating Mechanism for Operating Vehicle Doors
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes an actuating mechanism for vehicle doors, specifically for unlocking and opening them. The mechanism includes an actuator with a handle for opening the doors, a kinematics system for transmitting the actuator's movement to a signal transmitter, a cam disk, and an elastic biasing element biased against the cam disk to define force thresholds for different rotations of the cam disk.

Problems Solved
1. Improved security and convenience in unlocking and opening vehicle doors. 2. Enhanced durability and reliability of the actuating mechanism.
Benefits
1. Increased safety for vehicle occupants. 2. Simplified operation of vehicle doors. 3. Reduced wear and tear on the mechanism components.
Potential Commercial Applications
Enhancing the actuating mechanisms of vehicle doors can be beneficial for automotive manufacturers, aftermarket suppliers, and companies specializing in vehicle security systems.
Possible Prior Art
There may be existing patents or technologies related to actuating mechanisms for vehicle doors, but specific prior art is not provided in this disclosure.
Unanswered Questions
== How does the cam disk interact with the biasing element to define force thresholds for different rotations? The exact mechanism of interaction between the cam disk and the biasing element to establish force thresholds is not detailed in the abstract. Further information on this process would provide a clearer understanding of the technology.
== What materials are used in the construction of the actuating mechanism? The abstract does not mention the materials used in the actuating mechanism. Knowing the materials could help assess the durability and performance of the mechanism in real-world applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to an actuating mechanism for actuating, in particular unlocking and opening, vehicle doors. The actuating mechanism includes: an actuator (), in particular with a handle, for opening vehicle doors (); a kinematics () for transmitting a movement of the actuator to a signal transmitter. The kinematics () comprises a cam disk (); and an elastic biasing element () biased against the cam disk (). The cam disk () cooperates with the biasing element () in order to define a first force threshold for a first rotation of the cam disk () as well as a second, higher force threshold for a second, downstream rotation of the cam disk ().
