Abstract

A method of producing a motor vehicle fitting part which injects a plastic material essentially over the full surface behind a metal foil, with the fitting part having a finished or final form. In order to be able to produce the motor vehicle fitting part with an accurate fit, the metal foil is changed to a bent preform extending at least in a first direction, before an injection behind the metal foil takes place, and the plastic material is applied to the thus deformed metal foil, the preform deviating from the finished or final form.

Claims (18)

1 . Method for producing a motor vehicle fitting part, injecting a plastic material essentially over the full surface behind a metal foil and the fitting part has a finished or final form, after the metal foil has been changed to a bent perform state extending at least in a first direction which deviates from the finished or final form, such that the plastic material is applied to the thus deformed metal foil.

2 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein a respective bending angle of the bent preform is selected to be increasingly larger in a bordering direction of the metal foil.

3 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein the metal foil, in its preform state, is bent in a second direction.

4 . Method according to claim 3 , wherein a respective bending angle of the bent preform is selected to be increasingly larger in a bordering direction of the metal foil.

5 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein a polycarbonate is the injectable plastic material.

6 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein a high-grade steel foil is the metal foil.

7 . Method according to claim 6 , wherein a polycarbonate is the injectable plastic material.

8 . Method according to claim 7 , wherein a respective bending angle of the bent preform is selected to be increasingly larger in a bordering direction of the metal foil.

9 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein the metal foil has a thickness of less than 1 mm.

10 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein the metal foil has a thickness of less than 0.5 mm.

11 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein the metal foil has a thickness of less than 0.4 mm.

12 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein the metal foil has a length which is substantially greater than a width thereof.

13 . Method according to claim 12 , wherein a respective bending angle of the bent preform is selected to be increasingly larger in a bordering direction of the metal foil.

14 . Method according to claim 13 , wherein the metal foil, in its preform state, is bent in a second direction.

15 . Method according to claim 14 , wherein a polycarbonate is the injectable plastic material.

16 . Method according to claim 15 , wherein a high-grade steel foil is the metal foil.

17 . Method according to claim 16 , wherein the metal foil has a thickness of less than 1 mm.

18 . Motor vehicle fitting part comprising a metal foil on which a plastic material has been injected in accordance with the method of claim 1.
