Release handle assembly having inertial blocking member
An inertial blocking member subassembly for a vehicle-door release handle mechanism including a release handle framework supporting a bell crank assembly and a manually actuatable door handle grip, the door handle grip operatively coupled to the bell crank assembly, the inertial blocking member subassembly comprising: an inertial blocking member associated with the release handle assembly framework, the blocking member having a center of gravity which is offset from an axis of rotation, and the blocking member being rotationally and translationally movable between an at-rest position, in which the blocking member does not prevent actuation of the release handle, and an engaged position, in which the blocking member prevents actuation of the release handle; a biasing element associated with the blocking member, the biasing element biasing the blocking member into the engaged position; and a blocking member retainer provided on at least one of the release handle assembly framework and the blocking member. As a result of the acceleration force acting on the blocking member center of gravity, the blocking member is rotationally and translationally moved from the at-rest position to the engaged position, and in which engaged position the blocking member is retained by the blocking member retainer until disengagement of the blocking member retainer from the at least one of the release handle assembly framework and the blocking member.
