Abstract

The subject matter of the present invention is a motor vehicle control device that is provided with at least two closing/securing parts that can move relative to each other in pairs. The closing/securing parts each have functional surfaces on the edges which can be brought into contact mechanically. The closing/securing parts are produced from a planar base material and have, at their edges, machining marks created during the production process. According to the invention, one closing/securing part is provided with a bent section in such a way that the unprocessed bent section surface at least partially defines the functional surface of the relevant closing/securing part.

First claim

1 . Motor vehicle actuator, in particular a motor vehicle door actuator, preferably a motor vehicle door latch actuator, with at least two closure/securing components movable against one another in pairs, whereby the closure/securing components are respectively equipped with edge-sided functional surfaces which can mechanically be brought into contact, and whereby the closure/securing components are manufactured from a two-dimensional base material with processing traces caused by the production process on its angular edges, characterized wherein in that at least one closure/securing component is equipped with an angular deflection in such a way that its unprocessed angular deflection surface at least partly defines the functional surface of the relevant closure/securing component.

2 . Device in accordance with claim 1 , characterized in that the angular deflection is formed in an L shape in the cross-section.

3 . Device in accordance with claim 2 , characterized in that the angular deflection is envisaged on the an end side of the closure/securing component.

4 . Device in accordance with claim 3 , characterized in that the angular deflection demonstrates a length adjusted to the a material thickness of the other closure/securing component.

5 . Device in accordance with claim 4 , characterized in that the unprocessed angular deflection surface demonstrates the angular edge with the processing traces on the base.

6 . Device in accordance with claim 5 , characterized in that both closure/securing components are formed as pivoting levers.

7 . Device in accordance with claim 6 , characterized in that at least one of the two levers is equipped with several functional surfaces.

8 . Device in accordance with claim 7 , characterized in that the two levers involve locking mechanism components, for example a catch and a pawl.

9 . Procedure for the manufacture of a motor vehicle actuator, with at least two closure/securing components which can be moved against one another in pairs, whereby the closure/securing components are respectively equipped with edge-side functional surfaces which can be mechanically brought into contact with one another, in accordance with which the closure/securing components are manufactured from a two-dimensional base material with processing traces caused by the production process on their angular edges, characterized in that at least one closure/securing component is equipped with an angular deflection in such a way that its unprocessed angular deflection surface at least partly defines the functional surface of the relevant closure/securing component.

10 . Device in accordance with claim 1 , characterized in that the angular deflection is on an end side of the closure/securing component.

11 . Device in accordance with claim 1 , characterized in that the angular deflection demonstrates a length adjusted to a material thickness of the other closure/securing component.

12 . Device in accordance with claim 1 , characterized in that the unprocessed angular deflection surface demonstrates the angular edge with the processing traces on the base.

13 . Device in accordance with claim 1 , characterized in that both closure/securing components are formed as pivoting levers.

14 . Device in accordance with claim 13 , characterized in that at least one of the two levers is equipped with several functional surfaces.

15 . Device in accordance with claim 13 , characterized in that the two levers involve locking mechanism components, for example a catch and a pawl.
