TLDR
In this paper, an integral bellows portion formed on the end of a tubular hose is distended from the bladder when pressure is imposed thereon by the vehicle user, and a linkage is operably connected to the bellows part of the bladder and adapted to release the door latch upon distention of the part from the hose.Abstract:
A recess is formed in the outside of the door and a fluid filled bladder such as a tubular hose is mounted in the recess. The bladder has an integral bellows portion formed on the end thereof which is distended from the bladder when pressure is imposed thereon by the vehicle user. A linkage is operably connected to the bellows portion of the bladder and adapted to release the door latch upon distention of the bellows portion from the bladder.read more
