Abstract
A door lock actuator device comprises a casing having a common mount for securing the casing to either one of right-handed door and left-handed door of an automotive vehicle. A cover element closes a side opening of the casing, and a motor is accommodated within the casing. A motion conversion means has input shaft connected to the motor, and serves to convert a rotary output motion of the motor into a rocking motion. The output shaft of the device has opposite end regions extending through, and protruding outwardly from the casing and the cover element, respectively, and a swing arm is connected to either one of the end regions of the output shaft. Standardized components are used to realize actuator device for right-handed doors and left-handed doors, to lower the manufacturing cost of the device and simplify the parts stock control.
