Abstract

An electrical switch is equipped with a contact rocker which can be pivoted into two positions and is intended especially for being fitted to printed-circuit boards. A particularly small space requirement and a simple and cost-effective construction of such a switch result in that three contact pins are arranged and the rocker is supported on the central contact pin. A switching spring, which can be displaced and reverses the rocker, is furthermore fitted, and a switching lever interacts with this switching spring.

Description

Elektrischer SchalterElectric switch

Die Erfindung betrifft einen elektrischen Schalter mit einer in zwei Stellungen verschwenkbaren Kontaktwippe, der insbesondere für die Anbringung an Leiterplatten vorgesehen ist. Er eignet sich besonders für die Einbaumöglichkeit in die Frontleisten von Leiterplatten.The invention relates to an electrical switch having one in two Positions pivotable contact rocker, in particular for attachment to Printed circuit boards is provided. It is particularly suitable for the installation option in the front strips of printed circuit boards.

Es sind bereits derartige Schalter bekannt, die aber zumeist größer in den Abmessungen und teuer in der Herstellung sind. Auch ist das Schaltverhalten bei diesen oft nicht gleichmäßig.Such switches are already known, but most of them are larger in size and expensive to manufacture. The switching behavior is also often not even with these.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Schalter der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, daß er einen kleinen Raumbedarf besitzt, einfach und preisgünstig herstellbar ist und ein gleichmäßiges Schaltverhalten aufweist.The invention has for its object to provide a switch of the initially to train called type so that it has a small footprint, simple and Can be produced inexpensively and has a uniform switching behavior.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruches 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Hiernach sind drei Kontaktstifte angeordnet, wobei auf dem mittleren Kontaktstift eine Kontaktwippe gelagert ist. Ferner ist eine die Schaltwippe verschiebare Schaltfeder angebracht und ein mit dieser zusammenwirkender Schalthebel.This object is achieved according to the invention by the in the characterizing part of claim 1 specified features solved. After that there are three contact pins arranged, wherein a contact rocker is mounted on the middle contact pin. Furthermore, the rocker switch displaceable switch spring is attached and one with this cooperating gear lever.

Die Unteransprüche zeigen vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Erfindungsgegenstandes auf.The subclaims show advantageous configurations of the subject matter of the invention on.

Anlland eines AUSfiihlUIlgSbeiSpieleb wird die Erfindung iii Verbindung mit den Zeichnungen nachfolgend näher erläutert.Landing an example of execution, the invention becomes a compound explained in more detail below with the drawings.

Es zeigt: Fig. 1 einen elektrischen Schalter in der Seitenansicht im Schnitt Fig. 2 den Schalter nach Fig. 1 in der Draufsicht Der in den Figuren gezeigte elektrische Schalter besteht aus einem Gehäuse 1, in dem drei Kontaktstifte 2,3,4 mit eingespritzt sind. Die Kontaktstifte ragen mit ihren Enden 5 nach außen und können mit diesen in eine nicht dargestellte Leiterplatte eingelötet werden.It shows: FIG. 1 an electrical switch in a side view in section FIG. 2 the switch according to FIG. 1 in a plan view of the in the figures The electrical switch shown consists of a housing 1 in which three contact pins 2,3,4 are also injected. The contact pins protrude with their ends 5 to the outside and can be soldered with these in a circuit board, not shown.

Auf den mittleren Kontaktstift 3 ist von oben eine Kontaktwippe 6 aus leitendem Material aufgeschoben. Von oben ist auch eine verschiebbare Schaltfeder 7 eingelegt, die die Kontaktwippe 6 in jeweils eine ihrer Schaltstellungen bewegen kann.A contact rocker 6 is attached to the middle contact pin 3 from above made of conductive material. There is also a sliding switch spring from above 7 inserted, which move the rocker switch 6 into one of their switching positions can.

Die Schaltfeder 7 ist U-förmig ausgebildet und trägt an einem Schenkel eine an der Kontaktwippe 6 anliegende Abw^Sklung 8. An dem anderen Schenkel besitzt sie eine hinter Rastnasen 9 bzw. 10 eingreifende Ab-mncklung 11. Die Rastnasen 9,10 sind mitangespritzt und dienen auch, in dem diese die Kontaktstifte 2 und 4 halbseitig umfassen, zu deren Abstützung. Das Gehäuse 1 besitzt einen Deckel 12, in dem ein Schalthebel 13 gelagert ist. Der Schalthebel besitzt einen Mitnehmer 14, der zwischen das Mittelstück der Schaltfeder 7 und aus diesem herausgebogene Mitnehmerlappen 15, 16 eingreift, so daß bei einem Verschwenken des Schalthebels 13 die Schaltfeder 7 in den Pfeilrichtungen bewegt wird und die Kontaktwippe 6 umschaltet. Zur Lagerung des Schalthebels 13 sind in dem Gehäusedeckel 12 Lagerböcke 17 mitange-spritzt. Die Lagerzapfen 18 des Schalthebels 13 sind mit Abflachungen 19 versehen, so daß diese in einer Stellung in die Lagerböcke 17 eingeschoben werden können und sich von selbst nach Verschwenken in dem Lager halten.The switching spring 7 is U-shaped and carries on one leg has an abutment on the contact rocker 6 8 on the other leg they have an engaging ab-mncklung 11 behind latching lugs 9 or 10. The latching lugs 9, 10 are also molded on and also serve by placing the contact pins 2 and 4 on one side include, to support them. The housing 1 has a cover 12 in which a Shift lever 13 is mounted. The shift lever has a driver 14 between the center piece of the switching spring 7 and driver tabs bent out of this 15, 16 engages so that when the switching lever 13 is pivoted, the switching spring 7 is moved in the directions of the arrows and the rocker switch 6 switches over. For storage of the shift lever 13 are also in the housing cover 12 bearing blocks 17 injection-molded. The journals 18 of the shift lever 13 are provided with flats 19 so that these can be pushed into one position in the bearing blocks 17 and themselves hold by itself after pivoting in the camp.

Zur Befestigung des Deckels 12 sind an diesem an einer Längsseite Zapfen 20 angebrach~t, mit den dieser in Öffnungen 21 des Gehäuses 1 eingesteckt wird. An der anderen Längsseite des Deckels 12 sind Rastansätze 22 angespritzt, die hinter Vorsprünge 23 des Gehäuses einrasten. Durch den Gehäusedeckel 12 werden gleichzeitig die Kontaktwippe 6 und die Schaltfeder 7 in ihrer Einbaulage gehalten.To attach the cover 12 are on this at a Long side Pin 20 attached, with which it is inserted into openings 21 of housing 1 will. On the other long side of the cover 12, locking lugs 22 are injection-molded, which snap into place behind projections 23 of the housing. Through the housing cover 12 are at the same time the contact rocker 6 and the switching spring 7 held in their installation position.

Mehrere derartige Schaltanordnungen können nebeneinander in einem gemeinsamen Gehäuse 1 mit gemeinsamen Deckel 12 angebracht sein.Several such switching arrangements can be side by side in one common housing 1 with common cover 12 be attached.
