Abstract
The invention relates to a handle (10) for operating an opening leaf of a motor vehicle comprising an operating lever handle (14) which is intended to be moved by the user from a position of rest into a position for opening, and a transmission member (22) which normally moves with the lever handle (14) from a position of rest into a position of opening and which is connected to a linkage (64) for operating a lock, wherein the transmission member (22) is connected to the lever handle (14) by means of a disengageable mechanism (49, 22, 68, 66), the engagement of which is brought about by the vehicle antitheft unit and which, in its disengaged state, stores up at least some of the mechanical energy of opening applied to the lever handle by the user so as then to restore this energy to the transmission member during engagement.
