ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle door handle (1) with a base body (2) and a handle flap (18) which in its starting position partially covers an external handle recess (17), with the handle flap (18) being connected to one lever end (21) of each of two swivelling levers (6) which are pivotally mounted in an interior (3) of the vehicle door. In order for the handle flap (18) to fold back easily into an actuating position which favors gripping in a second end position (pull-out position) when the door is opened without the danger of injury in the hand area of the individual opening the door, the handle flap (18) is connected to each of the swivelling levers (6) by a respective lever-shaped arm (20) which can preferably be swivelled, only after reaching the pull-out position, against the direction of rotation of the swivelling lever (6) into an actuating position which favors gripping. In this case the swivelling motion of an arm (20) is preferably caused or supported by a pre-stressed torsion spring (23).
