Abstract

The invention relates to an actuator (10) for closing and/or opening a mobile part, especially a door, a tailgate or the like. Said actuator comprises a support (20), an actuating element (30), an electronic unit (50) and a detector system (60), the actuating element (30) being arranged on the support (20), the detector system (60) being arranged in the region of the actuating element (30) and at least a locking or unlocking action being triggerable directly or indirectly on the detector system (60). The electronic unit (50) interacts with the detector system (60) and the electronic unit (50) controls a locking system (40) for locking or unlocking. The invention is characterized in that a receiving unit (70) is integrated into the support (20) and/or into a handle shell (32) in a material fit, at least a part of the electronic unit (50) being permanently accommodated in the receiving unit (70).

Claims21

Dependent claims

An operating device for at least one of opening and closing a moving part, the operating device comprising:

a carrier, operating means, an electronic system, a lock system and a detector system, wherein the operating means are arranged on the carrier, the operating means support the detector system, and at least one locking or unlocking operation of the moving part via the lock system can be triggered on the detector system, the electronic system cooperates with the detector system and the electronic system triggers the lock system, wherein a housing element of a receptacle and the carrier are inseparably bonded and only released by at least one of the housing element and the carrier being destroyed, such that at least one part of the electronic system is permanently supported in the receptacle
wherein the carrier is arrangeable on an interior side of the moving part, and
wherein the carrier and the housing element form a space that is closed on the bottom and the longitudinal sides, the carrier forming one wall of the space.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
