Abstract
A vehicle door for a motor vehicle includes a handle element on an outside of the door, movable relative to a base body from a rest position into at least one actuating position. Moving the handle element from the rest position into the actuating position unlocks a lock securing the vehicle door in a closed position. A first guide is provided on the base body and a second guide is provided on the handle element. The guides interact to define a path of movement for the handle element. One of the guides has a guide link into which the other guide engages. At least one circuit board, on which at least one electronic component is arranged, is arranged at least partially in the guide link.
Claims9
A vehicle door configured to be movably arranged on a body of a motor vehicle between a closed position and at least one open position, the vehicle door comprising:
- a base body of the vehicle door;
- a handle element on an outside of the vehicle door;
- a lock by which the vehicle door is securable in the closed position, wherein
- the handle element is held on the base body so as to be movable relative thereto from a rest position into at least one actuating position, wherein moving the handle element from the rest position into the at least one actuating position makes it possible to unlock the lock;
- a first guide provided on the base body;
- a second guide provided on the handle element and interacting with the first guide, whereby the handle element is movable along a path of movement relative to the base body, which the path of movement is predetermined by the interacting of the first and second guides, from the rest position into the at least one actuating position;
- one of the first and second guides has a guide link;
- the other one of the first and second guides engages into the guide link, wherein the guides interact;
- and
- at least one circuit board, on which at least one electronic component is arranged, is arranged at least partially in the guide link such that the circuit board moves along the guide link with the handle element from the rest position into the at least one actuating position,
- wherein the circuit board has a plurality of circuit board regions which extend at an angle to one another and are formed integrally with one another, and wherein the plurality of circuit board regions:
- (i) are arranged in respective longitudinal regions of the guide link extending obliquely or perpendicularly to one another, wherein a shape of the circuit board is adapted to a shape of the guide link;
- and/or
- (ii) are arranged in at least one arcuate longitudinal region of the guide link, wherein a shape of the circuit board is adapted to a shape of the guide link.
