Abstract
A method for making a supporting body (1) for the lock of a motor vehicle, comprises the steps of: forming an intermediate element (8) made of electrically insulating material provided with conductive paths (3); setting the intermediate element (8) inside a mold (23) for forming the supporting body (1); and injecting electrically insulating material in the mold (23) for carrying out co-molding of the supporting body (1). The intermediate element (8) and the conductive paths (3) are made independently, and the conductive paths (3) are fixed on opposite faces (9, 10) of the intermediate element (8) by constraint means (15, 16) of a mechanical type.
Claims4
An assembly comprising:
- a supporting element;
- an intermediate element embedded within said supporting element, said intermediate element having opposing faces each including a plurality of seats;
- and
- first and second layers of conductive paths, said first layer of conductive paths fixed to one of said opposing faces of said intermediate element and received within said plurality of seats thereof, said second layer of conductive paths fixed to the other of said opposing faces of said intermediate element and received within said plurality of seats thereof;
- wherein each of said first and second layers of conductive paths are fixed to only one of said opposing faces of said intermediate element.
