Patent ID: 7868259

Claim:
A method for producing a device with a housing and a frame element arranged within the housing, the frame element accommodating at least one component and having at least one bending arm, the method comprising: forming the bending arm such that a contact region of the bending resiliently bears with prestress against a contact region of a wall in the housing when the bending arm is in a mounted state within the housing; and cohesively connecting the bending arm to the housing by transmission laser welding by subjecting the device to a laser beam of a prescribed wavelength such that the laser beam is transmitted through the housing to the contact region of the bending arm, the housing being produced from a material which is transparent with respect to the prescribed wavelength of the laser beam, at least in a region through which the laser beam is transmitted, and the contact region of the bending arm being produced from a material which is absorbent with respect to the prescribed wavelength of the laser beam.
