Definitions

  • the invention relates to a switch with a plurality of switch contacts and with a switch contact actuator which can be moved manually into a predefinable number of positions for actuating individual switch contacts.
  • the object of the present invention is to construct a switch of the type mentioned at the outset, which is particularly bulky and easy to handle, especially as a hand switch.
  • the object is achieved in that the predeterminable number of positions of the switch contact actuator is spatially opposed to a smaller number of switch contacts so that in certain preselected positions of the actuator contacts can only be actuated individually, but in other preselected positions in combinations with one another.
  • the switch according to the invention a smaller number of switching contacts with a correspondingly reduced space requirement is assigned a larger number of switching options. With optimum utilization, the switch is now less bulky and therefore more space-saving than conventional switches of the tightened type.
  • the invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of two exemplary embodiments in conjunction with the drawing.
  • the exemplary embodiments should preferably be able to be used as position transmitters for measuring crosses in ultrasound imaging devices.
  • a total of four screwed-on microswitches 6 to 9, each offset by 90 ° from one another, are arranged on a base plate 1 by means of mounting brackets 2 to 5 in such a way that their switching contacts 10 to 13 protrude from the plane.
  • the pressure plate 17 can be tilted against the pressure of the spring 15 either along the diagonals 18 or 19 when pressing the finger on the corners or along the transverse lines 20 or 21 when pressure is exerted on the side edges.
  • the switch contacts 10 to 13 of the microswitch are actuated individually.
  • pressure is exerted on the corners, ie tilting in the diagonals 18 and 19, however, two adjacent switch contacts are always actuated in pairs.
  • the embodiment of Figures 1 can be mounted on a front plate 22 'of a device by means of mounting bolts 22 fastened to the base plate in such a way that the pressure plate 17 is flat with the device front plate.
  • the switch according to the invention is therefore suitable for installation in devices whose front panels are provided, for example, with membrane keyboards.
  • the front plate is harmoniously flat with a large covering film; With conventional front panels without a membrane keyboard, a dust and moisture-proof construction is ensured by placing a rubber foil under the pressure panel in the front panel opening.
  • the pressure plate 17 is mounted on a switching plunger 23 which is movably suspended by means of rubber or metal membrane 24 between two carrier disks 25 and 26 held together by rivets 27.
  • On the support discs mounting brackets are riveted 28 to 31, which are again a carrier for four by 90 0 staggered microswitch 32 to 35.
  • the arrangement of the microswitches is such that the switching contacts 36 to 39 are grouped in one plane around the plunger 23.
  • the switching operation is again that only a single switch contact is actuated when pressure is exerted on the side edges of the pressure plate 17, while a total of two switch contacts are switched simultaneously when pressure is exerted on the corners of the pressure plate 17.
  • the number of four switching contacts is therefore twice the number of eight switching options.
