Abstract

The invention relates to a handle device for a lock unit (7) of a vehicle, comprising a handle part (10) which is movably mounted relative to a door (5) of the vehicle, a locking unit (40) for preventing unintentional opening of the door (5) caused by accelerations acting upon the handle part (10), especially accelerations such as they act upon the vehicle during a crash, the locking unit (40) being displaceable between a locking position (1) and a release position (2), and a movement of the handle part (10) being enabled in the release position (2) and a movement of the handle part (10) being disabled in the locking position (1). The invention is characterized in that an actuating unit (50) is actively connected to the locking unit (40) such that the locking unit (40) can be brought from the locking position (1) into the release position (2) when the actuating unit (50) is activated.
