Door handle mounting device for a motor vehicle

A door handle mounting device of a motor vehicle comprising:

• a door handle mount with a receiving space,
• a closing device attached to the door handle mount which is accommodated at least in part in the receiving space and which comprises at least a housing, a cylinder core rotatably supported in the housing, and an actuator that is non-rotatably connected to the cylinder core for actuating a lock of the motor vehicle,
• a return element which exerts a return force on the actuator that retains the actuator in an initial position or returns it thereto,
• wherein the actuator is adapted to be rotated against the return force of the return element from the initial position into an unlocking position or into a locking position,
• wherein the return element is disposed lying radially surrounding the cylinder core and is located outside the housing,
• wherein the door handle mounting comprises a wheel-like locking element for coupling to the lock of the motor vehicle, wherein the wheel-like locking element is rotatably supported on the door handle mount and the actuator is non-rotatably connected to the wheel-like locking element, and
• wherein the return element is designed as at least one spring element including a first spring leg and a second spring leg, wherein the first spring leg and the second spring leg are spring loaded against one another, and apply the return force, which acts on the actuator via the wheel-like locking element.
