Abstract (en)

A release apparatus for doors of vehicles, such as vans, trucks, heavy goods vehicles, articulated trucks, trailers and the like, comprising a base (2), which can be anchored stably to the door, and a handle assembly (3), which can be anchored to at least one rod (A) that can be coupled rotatably to the door and supports respective means for anchoring to the frame of the vehicle. The handle assembly (3) can rotate with respect to the base (2) between at least one locking configuration, in which the anchoring means can engage even indirectly the frame of the vehicle, and at least one release configuration, in which the anchoring means are in any case disengaged from the frame of the vehicle, in order to allow the rotation of the door; a locking button (4) is coupled rotatably to the base (2) and is reversibly movable between at least one first angular position, in which it is arranged even indirectly so as to interfere with the motion of the handle assembly (3), and at least one second angular position, in which it 'is spaced from the handle assembly (3), in order to allow its movement; the button (4) comprises a laminar element (5), which is provided in one piece and has a substantially flat central portion (5a), which is interposed between respective opposite end flaps (5b), which are bent and are articulated to the base (2).
