Flap system for a handle arrangement

A handle arrangement of a motor vehicle comprising:

• a rotatably mounted handle moving from a stowed position, a deployed position, and an operative position in which the handle causes an unlatch of a door;
• a flap system for impairing an undesired deployment of the handle of the handle arrangement, the flap system comprising a body, an axle and a reversibly deformable member, the body being rotatable around the axle and comprising a flap and a driving member,
• wherein the flap system rotates about the axle between a blocking configuration and a disengaged configuration, the reversibly deformable member maintaining the flap system in the blocking configuration, wherein the flap system moves to the disengaged configuration by actuation of the driving member triggering the deformation of the reversibly deformable member and the rotation of the body around the axle,
• wherein when the flap system is mounted in the handle arrangement and the flap is in the disengaged configuration, the flap is spaced apart from the handle to allow deployment of the handle, and wherein when the flap is in the blocking configuration, the flap faces the handle to prevent deployment of the handle;
• and
• a deployment system of the handle configured to cause rotating of the flap system from the blocking configuration to the disengaged configuration by cooperation with the driving member, the deployment system comprising a push lever, a steering lever and a front lever, each pivotable about a respective axle,
• wherein the handle is fixed to the front lever by a front extremity and being rotatable about the front lever,
• wherein the steering lever is arranged to push against the handle to make the handle pivot about the front lever and move from the stowed position to the deployed position,
• wherein the push lever comprises an engaging arm for preventing, in the stowed position, the steering lever to push against the handle, the engaging arm being spaced apart from the steering lever to let the handle moving from the stowed position to the deployed position,
• wherein the engaging arm of the push lever comprises a housing into which the driving member is arranged,
• wherein the flap system rotates forward about the axle to move from the blocking configuration to the disengaged configuration and backwards to return from the disengaged configuration to the blocking configuration,
• wherein, in the blocking configuration, the driving member faces a wall of the housing preventing the flap system to rotates backwards about the axle, and
• wherein the wall of the housing engages and pushes against the driving member when the engaging arm is spaced apart from the steering lever, causing the flap system to move from the blocking configuration to the disengaged configuration.
