Actuator for alarm clocks with electrical signal generator

The invention relates to a manually operable actuator for alarm clocks with an electrical signal generator, with which the wake-up circuit can be interrupted at any point in time. Actuators of this type are known and also designed as double-sided toggle buttons. In the the alarm circuit is switched off in one tilt position and the alarm clock is in the other tilt position in wake-up standby position.

The balanced, tasteful, modern form of a Desk alarm clock can be switched off by installing an actuator to switch off the alarm circuit, e.g. a toggle button, visually impaired. This is

especially the case when Έπη the toggle button over a large area is executed »

The invention is based on the task of an actuator to create, which does not appear or only marginally in the overall picture of the watch.

The object is achieved in that the actuator is made transparent, e.g. from a suitable plastic will"

It proves to be particularly useful, the actuator designed as a flat, double-armed toggle button.

Further advantages and features of the invention emerge from the following description of an exemplary embodiment, from the drawing and the claims for protection.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, the actuator designed as a double-armed, flat and transparent toggle button is denoted by 1. 2 is the case, 3 is the glass cover, 4 is the dial and 5 is a movement plate. The toggle button 1 is mounted overhung on the clockwork plate 5 on a post. A curved locking washer 7 creates friction and an axial lock. In addition, locking positions are provided so that the setting does not change due to bumps and vibrations. For this purpose, a pan 5a or a bolt can be riveted into the clockwork plate 5, into which the recess 1a or 1] _{3 of} the toggle button resiliently engages.

In the housing 2, expediently laterally, a narrow slot 2 _{a is} provided, from which the arm 1 _{C of} the toggle button 1 can be tilted out for the purpose of switching off the alarm signal, or his arm 1d for the wake-up standby position. The respective tilted arm 1 _C or 1 d is flush with the housing surface. , A luminous point 1 _e "for example, a filled with luminous material recess are provided at the arm 1d, so that even in darkness the correct setting of the toggle button is controllable.

Alarm clock is fully turned off. The arm 1a with luminous point has tipped in. If one looks at the alarm clock approximately in the direction of the dial, the arm 1c is tilted out at the side practically not visible from a distance.

In Fig. 1, an actuatable by the toggle button 1 tape switch with the contact elements 8/9 is indicated in principle. A pinger _8a can be formed for clipping on an AMP connector, at 10 is the battery and designated by 11, the electrical signal generator to the contact element. 8 Any suitable design can be used as the hand switch, for example a built-in microswitch. The special installation of a manual switch can also be dispensed with if, for example, a contact element of the local clockwork-controlled switch is positively or non-positively connected to the toggle button, so that when it is tilted into the off position, the contact element of the local switch is lifted and the wake-up circuit is interrupted.

Claims (5)

PROTECTION CLAIMS 1. Manually operated actuator for alarm clocks with an electrical signal generator, with which the alarm circuit can be interrupted at any time, characterized in that the actuator 1 made of transparent Material is made. 2. Alarm clock according to claim 1, characterized in that the actuator 1 made of plastic, e.g. Plexigun is made. 3.
