WO2020 / 01137A1 provides a known device for operating a vehicle door, the device having a sensor device designed to detect forces acting on the door and generate corresponding sensor data. Furthermore, DE102017202114A1 discloses a motor vehicle including at least one side door with a door body. Additionally, WO2006 / 007916A1 discloses a car door having an internal module and an external module. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a wing element for a vehicle, particularly for a motor vehicle, and a vehicle having at least one such wing element, thereby enabling particularly advantageous maneuverability of the wing element in a particularly advantageous manner.

[0004] According to the invention, the task is accomplished by a wing element having the features of claim 1 and by a vehicle having the features of claim 10. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are those described in the dependent claims.

[0005] The first aspect of the invention relates to a wing element for a vehicle, particularly a motor vehicle. This means that a vehicle preferably configured as a motor vehicle, particularly an automobile, and more particularly a passenger car, has a wing element in its fully manufactured state. A "wing element" can be understood as a structural element that is movable, particularly pivotally held, or can be held, i.e., arranged or can be arranged on the vehicle body, for example, configured as a self-supporting body (the interior space of the vehicle, also referred to as the passenger compartment or passenger space or cabin, is formed by the vehicle body). Therefore, the wing element is constructed separately from the vehicle body in the fully manufactured state and is movable, particularly pivotally held, on the vehicle body. In particular, the wing element is provided with a body opening of the vehicle body. The wing element can move, particularly pivotally, relative to the vehicle body between a closed position and at least one open position. In the closed position, at least one sub-region of the body opening is closed by the wing element. In the open position, the wing element releases at least said sub-region of the body opening. In particular, the wing element can be, for example, a door, particularly a side door, such that the body opening is configured, for example, as a door opening, particularly lateral but or rearward. Therefore, for example, in the open position of the fender element, occupants initially present in the vehicle body and the surrounding environment of the fender element can enter the interior space through the released sub-area of ​​the vehicle body opening. Furthermore, for example, in the open position of the fender element, occupants initially present in the interior space can exit the interior space through the released sub-area and thus reach the surrounding environment. It is also conceivable that the fender element is a cover, such as a rear cover or a front cover. For example, the fender element could be a luggage compartment cover or a luggage compartment lid or an engine hood. Therefore, for example, the vehicle body opening could be a door opening, particularly a lateral or rearward door opening, or a front or rear storage space opening, allowing access to, for example, the vehicle's front or rear storage spaces, particularly the luggage compartment, for example, through the sub-area released in the open position of the fender element via the vehicle body opening. It is conceivable that the fender element is a separately constructed mounting piece, arranged in a movable, particularly pivotal, manner or mounted on the vehicle body. The fender element has at least one base element, which is preferably constructed to be self-rigid, i.e., shape-stable. Preferably, the base element is constructed as a solid. The fender element also has a handle element that is separately constructed from the base element and is shape-stable, that is, inherently rigid and constructed as a solid. This handle element is preferably located on the outside of the fender element in its mounting position and, in the closed position, on the outside of the fender element, and is therefore an external handle element, particularly on the outside of a door. Especially when the fender element is constructed as a door, the handle element is a door handle, particularly on the outside of the door. The fender element occupies its mounting position in the fully manufactured state of the vehicle having the fender element and the body.

[0006] The handle element can move relative to the base element from an initial position, particularly translationally and / or rotationally, to an operating position. Preferably, the handle element is held, particularly at least indirectly or directly, on the base element, such that the handle element can move relative to the base element from an initial position, particularly translationally and / or rotationally, to the operating position. This specifically means that while the handle element is held and remains held on the base element, and thus connected to and maintained with the base element, the handle element can preferably be held, at least indirectly, on the base element, and therefore can be at least indirectly connected to the base element and can move relative to the base element from an initial position to an operating position.

[0007] By moving the handle element relative to the base element from the initial position to the operating position, the lock can be unlocked mechanically, especially purely mechanically, and therefore without the use of electrical energy. The wing element, which can be arranged or arranged on the vehicle body, can be fixed in the closed position, especially relative to the vehicle body, by means of the lock.

[0008] In principle, it is conceivable that the wing element, especially the handle element, has an operating element by means of which the lock can be electrically unlocked by operation, especially by manipulating the operating element. Especially when the wing element is constructed as a door, the lock is a door lock, or the lock is also referred to as a door lock. In particular, the lock can be an integral part of the wing element and therefore can move, especially pivot, relative to the vehicle body with the wing element between a closed position and said at least one open position. In particular, the operating element can be, for example, a mechanical operating element, such as a knob, button, or key. For example, the operating element can be able to move, especially translationally and / or rotationally, relative to the corresponding base element of the wing element, especially the handle element, between a first operating position and a second operating position. By operating, especially manipulating the operating element, the operating element moves, for example, from the first operating position relative to the base element of the wing element, especially the handle element, to the second operating position, thereby unlocking the lock, thus causing electrical unlocking of the lock. The lock can be adjusted between a locked state and an unlocked state. By unlocking the lock, the lock is placed from the locked state to the unlocked state, that is, switched to the unlocked state. If the flap element is in the closed position and the lock is simultaneously in the locked state, the flap element is secured in the closed position by means of the lock and is thus secured against undesirable movement relative to the vehicle body towards the open position. To open the flap element, thus moving it from the closed position to the open position, the operating element is operated, especially by personnel, particularly those in the surrounding environment. This causes the lock to be electrically unlocked, thus electrically switched from the locked state to the unlocked state, allowing the lock to release the flap element for movement relative to the vehicle body from the closed position to the open position. For example, a locking element (e.g., a locking pin, also called a locking bolt, or a locking bolt, also called a locking bow) is fixed to the vehicle body, particularly to vehicle pillars, such as door pillars and also called body pillars or vehicle frame pillars. In the closed position of the flap element and in the locked state of the lock, the lock, particularly the rotating latch and / or fork latch of the lock, engages with the locking element in a form-locking manner, thereby securing or being able to secure the flap element in the closed position, particularly in a form-locking manner. The lock, for example, has a first locking element, which may be, for example, the forked latch and / or rotary latch mentioned earlier. The locking element is also referred to as a second locking element. In the closed position of the flap element and in the locked state of the lock, the first and second locking elements engage in a form-locking manner, thereby fixing or being able to fix the flap element, particularly relative to the vehicle body, in the closed position. In particular, the second locking element is fixed to the vehicle body, particularly to the vehicle pillar, at least indirectly and particularly directly, thereby preventing relative movement between the second locking element and the vehicle body, particularly the vehicle pillar. For example, the first locking element may move, particularly translationally and / or rotationally, relative to the base of the lock and particularly relative to the second locking element, between the locked and unlocked positions.

[0009] In the closed position of the wing element and in the locked position of the first locking element, the first locking element engages with the second locking element in a form-locking manner, thereby fixing or being able to fix the wing element, particularly relative to the vehicle body, in the closed position. When the lock is unlocked, or during unlocking, for example, when the first locking element moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, the engagement between the first and second locking elements does not occur in the unlocked position. Thus, the wing element is released for movement relative to the vehicle body from the closed position to the open position. The feature "the lock can be electrically unlocked by operation, particularly by actuation of an actuation element" can be understood in particular as, for example, by operation of the actuation element, an electrically operable lock actuator is manipulated, particularly electrically controlled, said lock actuator being, for example, constructed as an electric motor. Through this manipulation of the lock actuator, the lock actuator is electrically operated, causing the first locking element to move electrically from the locked position to the unlocked position by means of the lock actuator, particularly when using electrical energy. This means that the first locking element is electrically moved from the locked position to the unlocked position, thereby unlocking the lock electrically, that is, using the electrical energy, as mentioned earlier, for example, to power the lock actuator. The movement of the flap element from the closed position to the open position following the electric unlocking of the lock can therefore be manually caused, for example, by a person or by the aforementioned personnel, especially by the person manually applying force, especially pulling force and / or pressure, especially via the handle element, to the flap element, and thus the flap element moves relative to the vehicle body from the closed position to the open position. Furthermore, it is conceivable that, due to the operation of the operating element, the flap element can move electrically, that is, using electrical energy, relative to the vehicle body from the closed position or be able to move to the open position, especially after the lock has been unlocked. For this purpose, for example, an electrically operable movement device is provided, which has, for example, the previously mentioned electrically operable lock actuator and / or at least one other electrically operable actuator. Because the operation of the operating elements, such as the motion device, is particularly electrically controlled, and thus the motion device is electrically operated, the wing element moves electrically relative to the vehicle body from a closed position, and in particular, pivots to an open position, by means of the motion device using electrical energy. Therefore, the lock can be unlocked particularly comfortably, and the wing element can be opened particularly comfortably, thus moving from the closed position to the open position. It is conceivable that the operating element is a touch-sensitive surface or includes a touch-sensitive surface, wherein the operating element can be operated by a person touching the touch-sensitive surface with their fingers. It is conceivable that the wing element has at least one sensor, particularly an electrical or electrically operable sensor, by means of which operation of the operating element caused, for example, by a person.If, for example, a sensor detects, human-induced operation of the operating element—that is, in particular, human-induced movement of the operating element from a first operating element position to a second operating element position—then, in particular as described previously, the lock actuator is actuated, causing the lock to be electrically unlocked by means of the lock actuator. The lock actuator may be a component of the wing element. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the sensor is a component of the wing element, particularly the operating element. Additionally, the lock may be a component of the wing element.

[0010] In principle, it is possible that, for example, due to a vehicle accident, the operating elements and / or sensors and / or lock actuators can no longer be supplied with electrical power or current because, for example, the power supply to the operating elements and / or lock actuators and / or sensors is damaged, interrupted, or destroyed. Therefore, if necessary, the lock can no longer be electrically unlocked because, for example, the lock actuator can no longer operate and / or because, for example, the operation or manipulation of the operating elements can no longer be detected by means of sensors.

[0011] To achieve particularly high security and therefore particularly advantageous operability for the wing element, the handle element can be moved relative to the base element from an initial position to an operating position. By moving the handle element from the initial position to the operating position, the lock can be unlocked mechanically, especially purely mechanically, and thus without the use of electrical power. Therefore, the handle element is an emergency unlocking element, or can be used as such, by means of which, and here by moving the emergency unlocking element from the operating position to the initial position, the lock can be unlocked mechanically, especially purely mechanically, and thus, for example, can be unlocked in an emergency. Thus, for example, after the aforementioned vehicle accident, a person remaining in the vicinity of the vehicle can move the handle element relative to the base element from the initial position to the operating position and thereby mechanically, especially purely mechanically, unlock the lock. As a result, the aforementioned person can easily and quickly open the wing element and thus move forward into the interior space and, for example, provide initial first aid to the person remaining inside the interior space.

[0012] The wing element has a fixing device separately constructed from the base element and the handlebar element, which is movable relative to the base element and, in particular, relative to the handlebar element, translationally and / or rotatably from a fixed position to a released position. In the fixed position, the handlebar element is secured by the fixing device to prevent movement from the initial position to the operating position. This means that in the fixed position, the fixing device prevents, i.e., avoids, movement of the handlebar element from the initial position to the operating position. However, in the released position, the fixing device allows the handlebar element to move from the initial position to the operating position. In other words, in the released position, the fixing device releases the handlebar element for movement from the initial position to the operating position therein. Thus, for example, in the normal state of the vehicle, undesirable or random movement of the handlebar element from the initial position to the operating position can be avoided, wherein, in the normal state, no vehicle accident will occur. In particular, in the fixed position, undesirable movement of the handle element from the initial position to the operating position, and thus undesirable mechanical unlocking of the lock, can be avoided when a person grips, especially surrounds, the handle element and applies force to the handle element and via the handle element to the wing element to manipulate the wing element, that is, to move it relative to the vehicle body and, for example, to close or open the wing element. For example, when and especially only when a vehicle accident is detected by means of the vehicle's sensor device and / or when the probability of a future vehicle accident is calculated by means of the vehicle's electronic computing device to exceed, in particular, a predetermined or pre-defined threshold, the fixing device can move from the fixed position to the released position, thereby allowing the handle element to move from the initial position to the operating position.

[0013] Furthermore, the wing element has an actuator, also referred to as an actuator, that is constructed separately from the base element, the handle element, and the fixing device. Preferably, the actuator is attached to the aforementioned lock actuator. The wing element also has coupling elements constructed separately from the base element, the handle element, the fixing device, and the actuator, said coupling elements being constructed as solids and inherently rigid, that is, shape-stable. For example, the coupling element is constructed as a rod.

[0014] Within the scope of this disclosure, the feature "the element, such as the coupling element, is constructed to be inherently rigid and therefore shape-stable" can be understood as meaning that such an inherently rigid element is not, for example, a piece of material or a traction mechanism (e.g., a rope) that is flexible and therefore incapable of transmitting pressure, but rather, when viewed alone, the element autonomously maintains its shape and can transmit not only tension but also pressure, for example, like a rod. The fixing device can be driven by an actuator via the inherently rigid coupling element and thereby can move from a fixed position to a released position. For this purpose, the fixing device is, for example, coupled to or capable of being coupled to an actuator via a coupling element.

[0015] The coupling element has a receiving portion and a through opening, both made of and therefore specifically defined by plastic, for example, and therefore specifically directly defined by plastic. The through opening extends into the receiving portion at one end, i.e., at its first end. The through opening extends into the surrounding environment of the coupling element at the other end, and therefore at its second end opposite the first end. The receiving portion is a first through opening that extends along an imaginary first through line (Durchgangsgeraden) and therefore completely through the coupling element. The through opening is a second through opening that extends along a second through line and therefore completely through the coupling element, wherein the through lines extend parallel to each other. Unless otherwise stated, "through opening" as used previously and hereinafter refers to the second through opening. The second through opening extends along a third through line perpendicular to both the first and second through lines, such that the second through opening, when viewed in isolation along the third through line, enters the receiving portion at one end and extends into the surrounding environment of the coupling element at the other end. Unless otherwise stated, the surrounding environment referred to below is the environment surrounding the coupling element.

[0016] Furthermore, the wing element has a connecting element constructed separately from the fixing device, the coupling element, and especially the handle element and the base element, which passes through the receiving portion, particularly along a first through line. The corresponding through line is a corresponding imaginary line. The connecting element can be pushed into the receiving portion via a second through opening, and here particularly along a third through line. This means, for example, in a method for manufacturing the wing element, the connecting element and the coupling element move relative to each other, such that the connecting element, initially positioned outside the receiving portion and the second through opening, is pushed through the second through opening, and thus, particularly along the third through line, into the receiving portion. For example, it is conceivable that in this method, the coupling element and the connecting element move relative to each other, such that, particularly while the connecting element is held in a fixed position, the coupling element moves relative to the connecting element. By pushing the connecting element into the receiving portion via the second through opening, it can be said that the coupling element is hooked into the connecting element, or vice versa, thereby coupling the coupling element to the connecting element. By pushing the connecting element into the receiving portion, or rather, due to the pushing of the connecting element into the receiving portion, the connecting element passes through the receiving portion, particularly along a first through line. The coupling element is connected to the fixing device by means of the connecting element, so that the fixing device can be driven and thus moved relative to the base element from a fixed position to a released position by means of the translational movement of the coupling element relative to the base element. Here, the coupling element can be moved relative to the base element, particularly by means of an actuator. The coupling element is supported or can be supported on the fixing device via a plastic support. Alternatively or additionally, the coupling element is supported or can be supported on the connecting element via a plastic support. This avoids undesirable noise, such as rattling noise, which may be caused by possible relative movement between the coupling element and the connecting element and / or between the coupling element and the fixing device, thereby enabling a particularly advantageous and low-noise, particularly noiseless, movement of the fixing device from the fixed position to the released position by means of an actuator via the coupling element. This ensures particularly advantageous maneuverability of the winglet element.

[0017] Especially when the wing element is constructed as a door, particularly a side door, as mentioned earlier, the wing element has a door boss, also simply referred to as a boss or window sill. In particular, the boss is or forms an edge, particularly a lower edge, which, for example, at least partially defines a window opening for the wing element, particularly a translucent glass, particularly a side window, particularly in the mounted position and in the closed position of the wing element, extending downwards in the vehicle's height direction. Here, the wing element occupies its mounted position in the fully manufactured state of the vehicle with the wing element. To enable particularly advantageous operation of the wing element, it is preferably provided that a handle element is arranged above the door boss, at least in the initial position and preferably also in the operating position, in the vehicle's height direction, particularly in the mounted position and in the closed position of the wing element.

[0018] In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the second through opening has a first extension dimension extending along an imaginary first straight line in an imaginary plane, wherein the receiving portion has a second extension dimension extending along an imaginary second straight line in the imaginary plane and parallel to the first straight line. Here, the second extension dimension is larger than the first extension dimension. Therefore, the receiving portion is configured as an elongated hole when viewed along the second straight line, such that, for example, connecting elements can be arranged in different positions within the receiving portion along the second straight line. This allows, for example, to compensate for manufacturing-induced and / or unavoidable tolerances, enabling the fixing device to be quickly and precisely driven by an actuator via a coupling element and thus moved from a fixed position to a released position. This allows for advantageous manipulation of the wing element. Furthermore, this allows for simple, time-efficient, and cost-effective manufacturing of the wing element, as the coupling element can be simply and thus time-efficiently and cost-effectively coupled to the connecting element. Specifically, it is specified that the first straight line extends perpendicular to the second through line, and, for example, the second straight line extends perpendicular to the first through line.

[0019] In another particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the second through opening is provided to extend along a third straight line that is in a plane and perpendicular to both the first and second straight lines, and this third straight line extends into the receiving portion at one end and into the surrounding environment of the coupling element at the other end. This third straight line is, for example, a third through line. Thus, the coupling element can be reliably and easily coupled to the connecting element, allowing reliable and defined movement of the fixing device to be actuated via the coupling element by means of an actuator.

[0020] In order to advantageously drive the fixing device and coupling element by means of an actuator and thus achieve particularly advantageous maneuverability of the wing element, in another embodiment of the invention, the receiving portion and the (second) through opening are connected along a corresponding fourth straight line extending perpendicular to the plane. Here, for example, the first straight line in the fourth straight line is the first through line, and for example, the second straight line in the fourth straight line is the second through line.

[0021] Another embodiment is characterized in that the coupling element is held at a distance from the fixing device by means of a connecting element. This is achieved, for example, by shortening the thread of a threaded element, particularly a screw, that is, by making it short enough to prevent the threaded connection from being directly supported and abutted against the fixing device. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the connecting element has a distance-holding region, for example, configured as a shoulder, by means of which the coupling element is held at the aforementioned distance from the fixing device. This ensures that the coupling element can move relative to the fixing device, and vice versa, such that, for example, the coupling element can move relative to the fixing device when the fixing device moves from a fixed position to a released position, and vice versa. This ensures reliable movement of the fixing device from the fixed position to the released position, thereby ensuring the particularly advantageous maneuverability of the wing element.

[0022] For example, the distance extends along a distance line parallel to the corresponding fourth line.

[0023] In another particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the plastic is provided to be elastically deformable, especially rubber-like. This advantageously avoids unwanted noise, especially rattling noise, thereby ensuring particularly advantageous maneuverability of the wing element.

[0024] In another particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the plastic is specified as polyoxymethylene (POM), thereby particularly advantageously avoiding unwanted noise.

[0025] In order to ensure particularly reliable coupling of the coupling element to the fixing device and thus achieve advantageous maneuverability of the wing element, and to avoid unwanted noise, another embodiment of the invention specifies that the coupling element has a substrate made of a material different from plastic, which is encapsulated by plastic injection molding. Preferably, the material is a metallic material, such as a light metal, especially aluminum or steel.

[0026] Finally, it has proven particularly advantageous that the connecting element is a threaded element, which is specifically screwed directly onto the fixing device. Thus, the coupling element can be coupled to the fixing device particularly reliably by means of the connecting element, allowing the fixing device to be reliably moved from a fixed position to a released position via an actuator through the coupling element. This ensures advantageous maneuverability of the winglet element.

[0027] For example, the threaded element has a first thread, which is configured, for example, as an external thread. The fixing device has, for example, a second thread corresponding to the first thread and, in particular, configured as an internal thread, wherein, preferably, the threads are directly screwed into each other, that is, directly screwed into one another. This ensures a fixed and therefore reliable coupling between the coupling element and the fixing device.

[0028] The second aspect of the invention relates to a vehicle preferably configured as a motor vehicle, particularly an automobile, and more particularly a passenger car, said vehicle having at least one winglet element according to the first aspect of the invention. The advantages and advantageous designs of the first aspect of the invention can be considered as advantages and advantageous designs of the second aspect of the invention, and vice versa. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Further details of the invention will become apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter: Figure 1 A schematic perspective view of the vehicle is shown in partial view; Figure 2 A schematic perspective view showing the first structural unit of the vehicle's wing element; Figure 3 A schematic perspective view showing the second structural unit of the winglet element; Figure 4 A schematic perspective view showing a portion of the handle element of the wingplate element; Figure 5 A schematic side view of the coupling elements of the airfoil element is shown in part; Figure 6 Another schematic side view of the coupling element is shown in part; Figure 7 A schematic top view of the coupling elements is shown in part; Figure 8 Another schematic side view of the coupling element is shown in part; Figure 9 Another schematic top view of the coupling element is shown in part; Figure 10 A schematic rear view of the coupling elements is shown in partial view; and Figure 11 Another schematic rear view of the coupling element is shown in part. Detailed Implementation

[0030] In the accompanying drawings, identical or functionally identical elements are given the same reference numerals.

[0031] Figure 1 A vehicle 1, configured as a passenger car in the present case, is shown in partial schematic perspective view. The interior space of the vehicle, also referred to as the passenger compartment, passenger space, or cabin, is formed by a body of the vehicle 1, for example, configured as a self-supporting vehicle body. During the operation of the vehicle 1, occupants, such as the female or male driver of the vehicle 1, can remain in the interior space. The body has a through-opening, lateral body opening in the present case, which, as will be explained in more detail below, is configured as a door opening, particularly a lateral door opening. A wing element, configured as a side door 2 in the embodiment of the vehicle 1 shown in the figures, is provided for the body opening, wherein the side door 2 is also simply referred to as a door or vehicle door. The wing element, and therefore the side door 2, can be movably, particularly pivotally, held in the vehicle body and can be... Figure 1 The diagram illustrates movement, particularly pivoting, relative to the vehicle body between a closed position and at least one open position. In the closed position, at least one sub-area of ​​the vehicle body opening is closed via the side door 2. In the open position, the side door 2 releases said sub-area, allowing occupants initially present in the surrounding environment 3 of the vehicle 1 and thus in the surrounding environment of the side door 2 to enter the interior space via the released sub-area. Furthermore, occupants initially present in the interior space can exit the interior space and thus reach the surrounding environment 3 via the released sub-area in the open position of the side door 2.

[0032] Depend on Figure 2 As can be seen, the side door 2 has a first base element 4, which is rigid and constructed as a solid. For example, the first base element 4 is constructed as a substrate. In particular, the base element 4 is a first support, especially a first support plate. Figure 3As can be seen, the wing element, and therefore the side door 2, has a second base element 5 constructed separately from the base element 4. This second base element is rigid in itself and constructed as a solid. In particular, the base element 5 is a second plate. For example, the base element 5 is a second support, especially a second support plate. Furthermore, the wing element, and therefore the side door 2, has a handle element 7 constructed separately from the base elements 4 and 5. This handle element is held at least indirectly on the base element 4, especially when bypassing the base element 5, so that the handle element 7 can be moved relative to the base elements 4 and 5 from the initial position AS, especially translationally and / or rotationally, to the operating position. The feature “the handle element 7 is held at least indirectly on the base element when bypassing the base element 5” can be understood as the handle element 7 being held on the base element 4, or not only via the base element 5. By moving the handle element 7 from the initial position AS to the operating position, the lock, not shown in the figures, can be unlocked mechanically, especially purely mechanically, and therefore without the use of electrical energy. In the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, the lock is a door lock, by means of which the side door 2, which is arranged on the vehicle body 1 in a manner that allows it to move, in particular, pivot, between a closed and an open position, is fixed relative to the vehicle body in the closed position. Therefore, the lock is a door lock. Here, the lock is part of the wing element, and therefore part of the side door 2, such that the lock can move with the side door 2 relative to the vehicle body, and in particular, can pivot with the side door relative to the vehicle body.

[0033] Depend on Figure 4As can be seen, the side door 2 has a fixing device 19, which is constructed separately from the base elements 4 and 5 and separately from the handle element 7. The fixing device has a first fixing element 20 and a second fixing element 21. The fixing device 19 is held on the first base element 4 with respect to the second base element 5, allowing the fixing device 19 to move relative to the base elements 4 and 5 from a fixed position ST, particularly translationally and / or rotationally, to a released position. In the fixed position ST, the handle element 7 is secured by the fixing device 19 to prevent it from moving from the initial position AS to the operating position. In the released position, the fixing device 19 allows the handle element 7 to move from the initial position AS to the operating position. The fixing element 20 is held on the base element 4 with respect to the base element 5, allowing the fixing element 20 to pivot about its pivot axis relative to the base elements 4 and 5 from a first position S1 and thus move to a second position. The second fixing element 21 is held on the base element 4, particularly when bypassing the base element 5, such that the second fixing element 21 can move relative to the base element 4 and the base element 5 from the third position S3 and thereby move to the fourth position. In the fixed position ST of the fixing device 19, the fixing element 20 is in the first position S1 and the fixing element 21 is in the third position S3. By moving the fixing device 19 from the fixed position ST to the release position, the fixing element 20 moves from the first position S1 or can move to the second position, and the second fixing element 21 moves from the third position S3 or can move to the fourth position. Therefore, in the release position of the fixing device 19, the fixing element 20 is in the second position, and in the release position of the fixing device 19, the fixing element 21 is in the fourth position. In the third position S3, the handle element 7 is fixed by the fixing element 21, particularly when bypassing the fixing element 20, to prevent the handle element 7 from moving from the initial position AS to the operating position. In the fourth position, the fixing element 21 allows the handle element 7 to move from the initial position AS to the operating position. Fixing elements 20 and 21 are constructed separately from each other and coupled to each other, such that fixing element 21 can be driven by fixing element 20 and thereby can move from the third position S3 to the fourth position. Fixing element 21 can be driven by pivoting fixing element 20 from the first position S1 to the second position and thereby can move from the third position S3 to the fourth position. In other words, if fixing element 20 pivots from the first position S1 to the second position, then fixing element 21 thereby moves from the third position S3 to the fourth position.

[0034] Depend on Figure 3As can be seen, the side door 2 has an actuator 23, also referred to as an actuator, which is constructed separately from the base elements 4 and 5, the handle element 7, and the fixing device 19. This actuator is held on the second base element 5, particularly when bypassing the first base element 4. The side door 2 also has an inherently rigid and solidly constructed coupling element 24, which is constructed separately from the base elements 4 and 5, the handle element 7, the fixing device 19, and the actuator 23. In the embodiment shown in the figures, this coupling element is constructed as a coupling rod. The fixing element 20 can be driven by the actuator 23 via the coupling element 24 and thus can pivot from the first position S1 to the second position. Therefore, the fixing device 19 can be driven by the actuator 23 via the coupling element 24 and thus can move from the fixed position ST to the released position. Here, the coupling element 24 is coupled to the actuator 23 and, especially, to the fixing element 20 in the case of bypassing the fixing element 21, such that the fixing element 21 can be driven by the coupling element 24 via the fixing element 20 through the motion caused or induced by the actuator 23, and thus can move from the third position S3 to the fourth position.

[0035] exist Figure 2 The first structural unit 12 is shown in a schematic perspective view, the first structural unit having a handle element 7 and a base element 4. Figure 3 The diagram shows a schematic perspective view of a second structural unit 22, which has a second base element 5, an actuator 23, and, for example, a coupling element 24. It is conceivable that the base elements 4 and 5 are constructed separately from each other and are interconnected, in particular tightened together, by means of at least one or exactly one connecting element constructed separately from the base elements 4 and 5 and configured, for example, as a threaded element, especially as a screw. In particular, the interconnection of the base elements 4 and 5 prevents relative movement between them.

[0036] Depend on Figures 4 to 9As can be seen, the coupling element 24 has a receiving portion 26, which is made of plastic 25 and is therefore directly defined, also referred to as a first through opening. The coupling element 24 also has a second through opening 27, which, when viewed alone, extends into the receiving portion 26 at one end, i.e., at the first end E1, and into the surrounding environment 28 of the coupling element 24 at the other end, i.e., at its second end E2 opposite to the first end E2. The receiving portion 26 is through along the first through line, at least when viewed alone, and therefore completely through the coupling element 24 along the first through line, at least when viewed alone. The second through opening 27 is through along the first through line, at least when viewed alone, and therefore completely through the coupling element 24 along the second through line, wherein the first and second through lines extend parallel to each other and perpendicular to a plane, for example, perpendicular to... Figure 5 The planes of the figures coincide. When the coupling element 24 is viewed alone, the second through opening 27 is through along the third through line indicated by the double arrow 29, such that the through opening 27 extends into the receiving portion 26 at one end and into the surrounding environment 28 at the other end along the third through line. The third through line extends perpendicular to both the first and second through lines, and extends in the aforementioned plane. Since the through opening 27 extends into the receiving portion 26 at one end and into the surrounding environment 28 at the other, the receiving portion 26, viewed circumferentially along its extension around the first through line, is open at, in particular, exactly one location where the through opening 27 is located. Apart from this location, the receiving portion 26 is closed circumferentially and is here specifically defined directly by the coupling element 24. Furthermore, the side door 2 has a connecting element 30 that is constructed separately from the base elements 4 and 5, separately from the handle element 7, separately from the fixing device 19, and separately from the coupling element 24. This connecting element passes entirely through the receiving portion 26, particularly along the first through-line. Thus, the coupling element 24 is coupled to the connecting element 30, and the coupling element 24 is connected to the fixing device 19 by means of the connecting element. In the present case, the coupling element 24 is connected to the fixing element 20 by means of the connecting element 30, particularly bypassing the fixing element 21, and therefore connected to the fixing device 19 via the fixing element 20. Figure 10 and Figure 11As can be seen, the coupling element 24 is supported or can be supported on the fixing element 20 via the plastic 25 and thus on the fixing device 19. Furthermore, the coupling element 24 is supported or can be supported on the connecting element 30 via the plastic 25. Preferably, the plastic 25 is a plastic that can be elastically, especially rubber-elastically deformed, wherein the plastic 25 may be, for example, POM (polyoxymethylene).

[0037] Depend on Figure 2 As can be seen, for example, the handle element 7 is coupled to or can be coupled to the lock via the traction mechanism 35. The traction mechanism 35 is a flexible element, wherein the traction mechanism 35 is, for example, a rope or cable, especially a Bowden cable. By moving the handle element 7 from the initial position AS to the operating position, the lock can be mechanically, especially purely mechanically, moved from the locked position to the unlocked position via the traction mechanism 35.

[0038] Depend on Figure 5 and Figure 6As can be seen, the receiving portion 26 has a first extension dimension extending along an imaginary first straight line, which is indicated by double arrows 31 and extends in the previously mentioned plane. The through opening 27 has a second extension dimension extending along a second straight line, which is indicated by double arrows 32, extends in the mentioned plane and parallel to the first straight line. The first straight line extends perpendicular to the first through line and perpendicular to the third straight line, and the second straight line extends perpendicular to the second through line and perpendicular to the third through line. The first extension dimension is larger than the second extension dimension, such that the second extension dimension is smaller than the first extension dimension. Therefore, viewed in the plane and along the first straight line, the receiving portion 26 is constructed as an elongated hole, thereby compensating for tolerances, especially positional tolerances. The connecting element 30 can move through the through opening 27, especially along the third through line, and is therefore pushed into the receiving portion 26, especially along the third through line. This is done, for example, in a method for manufacturing the side door 2. In this method, the coupling element 24 and the connecting element 30, which is held, for example, at the fixing device 19, especially at the fixing element 20 (especially when the connecting element 30 is held at the fixing device 19, especially at the fixing element 20), move relative to each other, such that the connecting element 30 moves, especially along the third through line, through the through opening 27 and is thus pushed into the receiving portion 26, especially along the third through line. For this purpose, the coupling element 24 moves relative to the fixing device 19, and in particular, no relative movement occurs between the fixing device 19 and the connecting element 30, and the connecting element 30 is held at the fixing device 19, especially at the fixing element 20. It can be seen that the coupling element 24 has at least a substantially C-shaped receiving element 33, which has a receiving portion 26 and a through opening 27. At least a portion of the receiving element 33 is formed of plastic 25, such that the plastic 25 at least constitutes the receiving portion 26 and here directly defines the receiving portion. For example, the coupling element 24 has a base formed of a material different from the plastic 25 and, for example, a metal material, which constitutes, for example, a metal clamp. The plastic 25 is connected to the substrate, particularly by injection molding or encapsulating the substrate with the plastic 25. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the plastic 25 constitutes a plastic body, particularly separately constructed from the substrate, which is connected to, particularly screwed onto, and thereby connected to, the substrate. The substrate, for example, is made of... Figure 10 and Figure 11 It can be seen and marked with 34.

[0039] Depend on Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11It can be seen that the connecting element 30 has a first sub-region TB1 with an outer periphery, in particular a first outer diameter, and a second sub-region TB2 with a second outer periphery, in particular a second outer diameter, which is directly adjacent to the first sub-region TB1. Here, the first outer periphery is larger than the second outer periphery, and the sub-region TB2 passes through the receiving portion 26. The sub-region TB1 is directly supported or can be supported on the plastic 25, in particular along a first through line. The coupling element 24, in particular the receiving element 33, and more particularly the plastic 25, has a first region B1 and at least one second region B2, in particular directly adjacent to the first region B1, wherein, in the present case, two second regions B2 are provided, which are spaced apart from each other, in particular along a second line. The corresponding second region B2 extends from the first region B1, in particular along the first through line. In its final assembled position shown in the accompanying drawings, sub-region TB1 and thus connecting element 30 overlap at least partially through corresponding region B2 in an overlapping direction that extends parallel to the third through line and is linearly extended and indicated by arrow 34, such that connecting element 30 is supported or can be supported on corresponding region B2 in the overlapping direction via its sub-region TB1. Thus, connecting element 30 cannot move out of receiving portion 26 along the overlapping direction, thereby forming a pull-out and rotation protection. Thus, coupling element 24 is reliably maintained coupled to connecting element 30 and, via said connecting element, to fixing device 19. It is conceivable that the entire receiving element 33 is constructed of plastic 25.

[0040] For example, when the connecting element 30 is pushed through the through opening 27 and thus into the receiving portion 26, the connecting element 30 is held on the fixing device 19, especially on the fixing element 20, in particular preventing relative movement between the fixing device 19 and the connecting element 30.

[0041] In the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, the connecting element 30 is configured as a threaded element, particularly as a screw, such that the connecting element 30 has a first thread, particularly configured as an external thread. A second thread, corresponding to the first thread and configured as, for example, an internal thread, is provided on the fixing device 19, particularly on the fixing element 20, wherein the threads are directly screwed together. Thus, the connecting element 30 is directly screwed to the fixing device 19, particularly the fixing element 20. Specifically, after the connecting element 30 is pushed into the receiving portion 26, the screw rotates relative to the fixing device 19 about a rotation axis, thereby connecting, i.e., coupling, the coupling element 24 to the fixing device 19 by means of the screw. The rotation axis extends, for example, concurrently with or parallel to the first through line. Through the rotation of the connecting element 30, and thus the screw, about the rotation axis and relative to the fixing device 19, the connecting element 30 is screwed to the fixing device 19, particularly the fixing element 20. Preferably, this tightening occurs after the connecting element 30 is pushed into the receiving portion 26. To prevent the coupling element 24, currently configured as a coupling rod, from detaching from the connecting element 30 after the connecting element 30 is pushed into the receiving portion 26 and before the connecting element 30 is tightened to the fixing device 19, the coupling element 24, and especially the connecting element 30, has, for example, a locking element also referred to as a clip or clamp, which locks, i.e., clamps, when the connecting element 30 is pushed into the receiving portion 26. The clamp is, for example, made of plastic 25. For example, after the connecting element 30 is pushed into the receiving portion 26, the connecting element 30, configured as a screw, is tightened. Preferably, the coupling element 24, and especially the plastic 25, is held by means of the connecting element 30 at a distance spaced from the fixing device 19, and especially the fixing element 20, particularly along a first through line, such that the fixing device 19 and the coupling element 24 can move relative to each other with little friction, and especially without friction, when the fixing device 19 moves from the locked position ST to the released position. For this purpose, for example, the connecting element 30 has a distance retaining element configured as a shoulder, and the coupling element 24, especially the receiving element 33 and more especially the plastic 25 are held by means of the distance retaining element in a manner that is spaced apart from the fixing device 19, especially the fixing element 20.

[0042] The rotation of the connecting element 30 about the axis of rotation and relative to the fixing device 19, especially the tightening, can be used, for example, in a method for manufacturing the side door 2 to ensure the reliable manufacturing of the side door 2. For example, in this method, the rotation of the connecting element 30 about the axis of rotation and relative to the fixing device 19, especially the tightening, is detected and monitored, making it possible, for example, to record the rotation of the connecting element 30 about the axis of rotation and relative to the fixing device 19. This ensures that the connecting element 30 is connected to the fixing device 19, especially tightened, in a predetermined and therefore desired manner, and thus the coupling element 24 is connected to the fixing device 19, especially tightened, in a predetermined and therefore desired manner. For example, an image of at least one sub-region can be detected by means of a camera and / or by means of at least one geometric perforation, in which the connecting element 30, the fixing device 19, especially the fixing element 20, and the coupling element 24 are respectively at least partially arranged. The image allows for inspection and thus ensures that, especially after and / or before and / or during the rotation of the connecting element 30, the coupling element 24 is connected to the connecting element 30. It can be seen that by pushing the connecting element 30 into the receiving portion 26, the coupling element 24 is connected to or can be connected to the connecting element 30, such that the coupling element 24 is hooked or attached to the connecting element 30, or vice versa. Figures 7 to 9 It can be clearly seen that region B2 forms, or is called a bulge, which prevents the connecting element 30 from sliding out of the receiving portion 26 along the overlapping direction.

[0043] Sub-region TB1 is the screw head of connecting element 30, and sub-region TB2 is the screw rod of connecting element 30, also referred to as a rod, wherein the first thread is arranged on the rod. In particular, connecting element 30 is supported or can be supported on plastic 25 by sub-region TB1. Side door 2 has a shell, also referred to as integral housing 10, which can be perceived visually and tactilely by persons remaining in the surrounding environment 3, and is therefore visible and directly accessible to persons remaining in the surrounding environment. The first area of ​​integral housing 10 is constituted by the shell of handle element 7, also referred to as handle element shell. The second area of ​​integral housing 10 is constituted by the outer cover element 9 of side door 2, also simply referred to as cover element.

[0044] To enable tactilely advantageous and, in particular, ergonomically and comfortably operate the side door 2, the handle element 7 has a first sub-region, also referred to as the first body portion, constituting a first part of the handle element housing. This first sub-region has a first extending direction and thus extends along that direction. It is conceivable that the first sub-region of the handle element 7 extends from the base body of the side door 2 in or along that first extending direction. In the mounted position and in the closed position of the side door 2, the first extending direction extends outward, for example, in the lateral direction of the vehicle 1, and thus towards the surrounding environment 3. The base body is, for example, the outer cover element 9. Furthermore, the handle element 7 preferably has a second sub-region, also referred to as the second body portion, constituting a second part of the handle element housing. The second sub-region of the handle element 7 is adjacent to the first sub-region of the handle element 7, particularly to the end of the first sub-region of the handle element 7 facing away from the base body, wherein the second sub-region of the handle element 7 extends from the first sub-region of the handle element 7 in a second extending direction that is inclined to or perpendicular to the first extending direction. Thus, for example, the second sub-region of the handle element 7 is spaced apart from and at least partially overlaps with the base body. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the base body is another trim element of the side door 2, wherein the other trim element, for example, constitutes a third region of the overall housing 10. The second sub-region of the handle element 7 extends, in particular, along a second extending direction. In the mounted position of the side door 2 and in the closed position of the side door 2, for example, the second extending direction extends upward in the vehicle height direction of the vehicle 1, or the second extending direction points upward in the vehicle height direction of the vehicle 1. For example, in the mounted position of the side door 2, the side door occupies its mounting position in the fully constructed state of the vehicle 1 having the side door 2, and in the closed position of the side door 2, the second sub-region of the handle element 7 extends inward in the vehicle lateral direction of the vehicle 1 and thus toward the interior space through the base body and therefore overlaps, for example, through a portion of the second and / or third regions of the overall housing 10. Thus, a person, for example, remaining in the surrounding environment 3, can particularly advantageously and ergonomically grasp, especially from the rear, the handle element 7, particularly the second sub-region of the handle element 7, thereby enabling, for example, the person to move at least one or more of their fingers between the second sub-region of the handle element 7 and the base body. Therefore, the person can particularly advantageously apply force to the handle element 7 so as to particularly advantageously manipulate the side door 2, that is, particularly to enable the side door 2 to move relative to the vehicle body, particularly to pivot.

[0045] In the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, it is specified that, since the second sub-region of the handle element 7 extends from the first sub-region of the handle element 7 along a second extending direction, the handle element 7 is, in particular, constructed as an L-shape or V-shape overall and thus has an L-shaped or V-shaped shape when viewed as a whole. Here, the sub-regions of the handle element 7 constitute the L-shaped or V-shaped shape of the handle element 7, wherein the sub-regions of the handle element 7 are corresponding legs of the L-shaped or V-shaped shape. Here, it is specifically specified that the handle element 7 is connected to the base body via the first sub-region of the handle element 7, wherein, in particular, the first sub-region of the handle element 7 is connected to the base body at least indirectly.

[0046] The side door 2 has a door boss 36, also referred to as a boss or window sill, which is also referred to as an edge or edge forming the vehicle 1. Furthermore, the side door 2 includes a light-transmitting side window glass 37, also simply referred to as glass, which is movable relative to the base body and relative to the outer cover element 9, at least in the closed position of the side door 2, in the vehicle height direction of the vehicle 1. Specifically, the side window glass 37 is movable at least in the closed position of the side door 2, in the vehicle height direction of the vehicle 1. Figure 1 The side window glass 37 shown in the diagram moves, in particular, translationally—that is, shifts—between the base body and the outer cover element 9, especially between the closed position and the open position (not shown). The open position is also referred to as the glass open position, and the closed position is also referred to as the glass closed position. Here, the window area 38, also referred to as the glass area, is defined downwards in the vehicle height direction of the vehicle 1 by the door boss 36, at least partially, especially in the mounting position of the side door 2 and in the closed position of the side door 2. Figure 1 The accompanying drawings show the mounting position and closed position of the side door 2, wherein the side door 2 occupies its mounting position in the fully manufactured state of the vehicle 1 having the side door 2. In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the window area 38, also referred to as the glass area, is a window opening, also referred to as the glass opening, which may be defined, for example, by the window frame of the side door 2, wherein the window frame may include, for example, a door boss 36. In the closed position, the side window glass 37 is arranged at least partially in the window area 38, in particular such that the window opening is at least partially, in particular at least most, and therefore at least more than half, but or completely closed by the side window glass 37. In particular, it is specified that in the closed position of the side window glass 37, and in the mounting position and the closed position of the side door 2, the door boss 36 is downwardly abutted against the side window glass 37 in the vehicle height direction of the vehicle 1. It can be seen that the handle element 7 is arranged above the door boss 36 in the vehicle height direction of the vehicle 1, at least in the initial position AS and preferably also in the operating position and at least in the closed position of the side door 2.

[0047] In the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, the handle element 7 is an outer door handle, particularly an outer door handle, referred to as an exterior door handle. The side door 2 has an outer side A, which, in the mounting position of the side door 2 and in the closed position of the side door 2, particularly in the lateral direction of the vehicle, faces outward away from the interior space and towards the surrounding environment 3. Here, the handle element 7 is arranged on the outer side A.

[0048] The final assembly position of the connecting element 30 inserted into the receiving portion 26 can be the nominal position, also referred to as the first layer L1, where the nominal position is... Figure 6 The solid line indicates this. However, due to the aforementioned tolerances, the final assembly position of the connecting element 30, which is pushed into and thus inserted into the receiving portion 26, may be a second layer L2 different from the nominal position, but a third layer L3 different from both the nominal position and the second layer L2, wherein layers L2 and L3 are in... Figure 6 It is shown in the middle by a dashed line.
