ABSTRACT:
A door handle assembly for a motor vehicle which acts to preclude inadvertent unlatching of the door in response to a side impact. The door handle assembly includes a handle and a blocking member both pivotally mounted in an escutcheon and each including an actuator portion positioned in the window of the escutcheon and a stop portion positioned within the cavity of the escutcheon. The stop portions positioned within the cavity coact in the event of side impact to preclude inadvertent inertial pivotal movement of the handle to an unlatched position but depression of the blocking member actuator portion moves the stop portion of the blocking member out of the path of movement of the stop portion of the handle to allow the handle to be moved to open the door.
