Abstract

The invention relates to a motor vehicle door, in particular a handleless motor vehicle side door. The basic structure of said side door comprises a door leaf (1), a locking element (4, 5, 6), hinged to a motor vehicle body (2), for locking the door leaf (1) in predetermined angular positions in relation to the motor vehicle body (2), and at least one actuator (10, 11) acting upon the door leaf (1). Said actuator (10, 11) causes the door leaf (1) to open to an at least ajar position in relation to the motor vehicle body (2). According to the invention, the actuator (10, 11) is connected to the locking element (4, 5, 6) and directly drives the latter to adjust the door leaf (1).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A handleless motor vehicle lateral door, with a door panel, furthermore with a locking component linked to a motor vehicle chassis to immobilize the door panel in pre-determined angular positions with respect to the motor vehicle chassis, and with at least an actuator working on the door panel, which causes at least a gap opening of the door panel in respect of the motor vehicle chassis, wherein the actuator is connected to the locking component and directly drives it for adjustment of the door panel.

2. The motor vehicle door according to claim 1 , wherein the actuator is formed as a linear actuator.

3. The motor vehicle door according to claim 1 , wherein the locking component has an adjusting rod which is acted on by an adjusting nut of the actuator for linear adjustment.

4. The motor vehicle door according to claim 1 , wherein the locking component has a counterstop engaging on a door panel-side stop and a ratchet arm to interact with locking components on the door panel.

5. The motor vehicle door according to claim 1 , wherein in addition to the actuator a drive is provided for the door panel.

6. The motor vehicle door according to claim 5 , wherein the actuator ensures the gap opening of the door panel with respect to the motor vehicle chassis, while the drive causes complete opening/closure of the door panel with respect to the motor vehicle chassis.

7. The motor vehicle door according to claim 5 , wherein the drive works on the counterstop on the locking component by means of the stop on the door panel.

8. The motor vehicle door according to claim 4 , wherein the stop is adjustably formed on the door panel.

9. The motor vehicle door according to claim 4 , wherein the stop comprises a first drive disk and a second drive disk which can be moved relative to one another.

10. The motor vehicle door according to claim 9 , wherein in addition to the actuator a drive is provided for the door panel, and the first drive disk interacts with the locking component and the second drive disk is connected to the drive.
