Description

The invention relates to a covering device with the features of the first independent claim, a vehicle door with the features of the second independent claim, and a vehicle with the features of the last independent claim. To create a homogeneous overall appearance and reduce aerodynamic drag, there is a growing trend to integrate door opening devices, particularly door handles, into the vehicle's exterior design. Solutions exist where a door handle is flush with the outer skin of the vehicle door, at least when not in use. However, even this integration of the door handle results in visually and aerodynamically disadvantageous gaps or edges on the outer skin of the vehicle door. It is therefore an object of the present invention to overcome at least one of the disadvantages described above, at least partially. In particular, it is an object of the invention to provide a covering device, a vehicle door or door module, and a vehicle that enable an improvement in vehicle aerodynamics and/or the realization of the most homogeneous overall appearance possible and a high level of user comfort of the vehicle. The foregoing problem is solved by a covering device having the features of the first independent claim, by a vehicle door having the features of the second independent claim, and by a vehicle having the features of the last independent claim. Further features and details of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims, the description, and the drawings. Features and details described in connection with the covering device according to the invention naturally also apply in connection with the vehicle door and/or the vehicle according to the invention, and vice versa, so that the disclosure of the individual aspects of the invention always includes, or allows for, reciprocal reference. According to the invention, a covering device is provided for covering, at least partially, a window recess of a vehicle, in particular a window recess of a vehicle door, comprising a base body for covering, at least partially, the window recess, wherein a handle recess is formed in the base body and wherein at least one actuating element for triggering a change of state on at least one locking device of the vehicle or the vehicle door is arranged in the handle recess. In other words, a covering device is proposed which is designed to cover, at least partially, a window recess of a vehicle, in particular a window recess of a vehicle door. The covering device comprises a base body for covering the window recess, at least partially. A recessed handle is also formed in the base body, in which at least one actuating element is arranged, wherein actuation of the actuating element, in particular by a user of the vehicle, can trigger a change of state at least one locking device of the vehicle or the vehicle door. The invention further provides a covering device for covering, at least partially, a window recess of a vehicle, in particular a window recess of a vehicle door, comprising a base body for covering, at least partially, the window recess, wherein a fixed handle body is formed on the base body and wherein at least one actuating element for triggering a change of state on at least one locking device of the vehicle or the vehicle door is arranged on the handle body. In other words, a covering device is proposed which is designed to cover, at least partially, a window recess of a vehicle, in particular a window recess of a vehicle door. The covering device comprises a base body for covering the window recess, at least partially. A fixed handle is formed on the base body, on which at least one actuating element for triggering a change of state at at least one locking device of the vehicle or the vehicle door is arranged, wherein a change of state at at least one locking device of the vehicle or the vehicle door can be triggered by actuating the actuating element, in particular by a user of the vehicle. The cover devices according to the invention offer the advantage that the door opening function is integrated into a cover device and can thus be provided on a vehicle in an inconspicuous yet user-friendly manner. Covers for window recesses are proven elements for the exterior design of a vehicle. This is a feature. In this respect, the door opening function is discreetly integrated into the overall appearance of the vehicle. Disturbing gaps or edges in the outer skin of the vehicle door can be eliminated in this way, resulting in a homogeneous overall impression of the vehicle as well as improved vehicle aerodynamics due to reduced wind resistance. The change of state of the locking device, which can be triggered by at least one actuating element, can preferably be a change of state to an open state. An open state is to be understood here as a state in which the vehicle door can be opened, in particular swung open, by a user of the vehicle. The change of state can, in particular, occur from a closed state of the lock
