Device for an information carrier
I.

The innovation concerns an information carrier, preferential | wise in the form of operating instructions for operator stations, f and a device for receiving the same.

For operator stations where operators are

The task of the innovation is therefore to specify an information carrier, preferably an instruction manual for operator stations, the information carrier with

This object is achieved in that the information carrier consists of a one having a predetermined kink

The advantages associated with the innovation are present all in the fact that the information carrier is designed as an exceptionally wear-resistant part that this is still permanently connected to the device, so it can neither be misplaced nor lost, where it can still be used when not required, without the function of the To disrupt operation, is completely outside the field of vision of the operator. With advantages can the information carrier, which is provided as a plastic plate, can either be labeled itself or it can contain areas to accommodate writable fields. This has the advantage of interchangeability and customization connected to various changing operating conditions.

Further details are explained with reference to the drawings. There shows

1 shows, as an exemplary embodiment, a keyboard with a pull-out information carrier,

FIG. 2 shows a detail of the information carrier used in FIG.

In Figure 1, a keyboard is provided as an example of a control unit, which consists of a housing 1 and 2 and the actual keypad 3 consists. A receiving device 4 is provided in the lower part 1 of the housing, into which the information carrier 5 can be inserted. The receiving device 4 has an inner stop 6 and an outer stop 7, the mode of action of which will be discussed later. The information carrier 5 is designed as a plastic plate and has a predetermined kink 8 designed as a so-called film hinge on. A stop lug 9 is also attached to the information carrier 5. The way the innovation works is thereby the following. If the information carrier is not required

if this is located within the receiving device 4, whereby it protrudes only so far from the keyboard, to allow easy access. It would also be possible to have the information carrier in the inserted state to slide completely into the keyboard housing and at the rear end of the housing an access allowing Provide recess in the housing. The position c shown in Fig. 1 is through the stop limited between the stop lug 9 and the inner stop 6. If necessary, the information carrier 5 can be pulled out of the receiving device 4 quickly and easily by the operator, until the stop lug 9 hits the outer stop 7 of the receiving device 4 (position a). It is located the film hinge 8 outside of the receiving device 4 behind the keyboard. Now becomes the information carrier pivoted upwards around the film hinge 8 (position b), so that the typeface attached to it is optimal Position is in front of the operator. This position remains due to the inherent rigidity of the information carrier material obtain. If the information carrier 5 is no longer required, it is folded down again (Position a) and pushed into the receiving device 4 of the keyboard.

Claims (5)

New protection claims 1 to 5 (replace the previous claims 1 to 5) Our reference VPA 80 G 2354 BRD file reference G 80 10 292.7 1. An arrangement for an information carrier, characterized in that the information carrier (5) consists of a plastic plate having a predetermined kink (8) which, when not required, can be inserted into a receiving device (4) of the operator panel (1,2,3) , at Bafarf can be pulled out of this (position a) and pivoted upwards around the intended kink (8) into a reading position (position b).
10 2. Arrangement according to claim 1, characterized by the fact that in the receiving device (4) of the operator station (1,2,3) an inner approach (6) and an outer approach (7) and on the information carrier (5) stop lugs (9) are provided, which in the pushed-in and in the pulled-out state limit the position of the information carrier (5) in the control unit (1,2,3) securely. 3. Arrangement according to claim 1, characterized in that the predetermined kink (8) is a film hinge. 4. Arrangement according to claim 1, characterized in that the plastic plate (5) is a coated plate.
