Device for the contactless actuation of an adjustable vehicle part

A device for contactless actuation of an adjustable vehicle part of a vehicle, the device comprising:

• a capacitive proximity sensor that comprises a first elongated sensor electrode and a second elongated sensor electrode;
• and
• a carrier component to fasten the proximity sensor to the vehicle in a specific installation position, the carrier component having a curved mounting surface on which the two sensor electrodes are mounted spaced apart from one another such that in the installed position the vertical component of the electrode distance formed between the first sensor electrode and the second sensor electrode varies over a length of the sensor electrodes so that the horizontal component of the electrode distance is exactly or at least approximately constant over the length of the sensor electrodes.
