Abstract

The invention concerns an outer door grip, in particular for vehicles. The outer door grip exhibits a handle (10), which can operate a lock disposed in the door upon actuation. The outer door grip exhibits a pivotal blocking member (20), which is normally placed in its ineffective release position (21) and therewith enables actuation of the handle (10). The blocking member (20) passes into an effective blocking position (22.1, 22.2) based on the inertia of the mass of the blocking member (20) in case of a crash, whereby the handle (10) becomes blocked. The blocking member (20) has available two blocking positions (22.1, 22.2), wherein the blocking member (20) moves into the first blocking position (22.1) upon a crash out of a first direction (30.1) and wherein the blocking member (20) moves into the second blocking position (22.2) upon a crash out of a second direction (30.2) located opposite to the first direction (30.1). A blocking lever (40) is furnished which is intermediately switched in the blocking position (22.1, 22.2) of the blocking member (20). The blocking lever (40) is thereby guided in a kind of connecting link guide (41).
