Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a switch position detector with a tubular jacket, which forms an opening at one end, into which symbol areas signaling an operating state can be pivoted by drive means.
  • Such switch position detectors are e.g. known from DE-B-1018338.
  • the symbol-bearing disc is mounted at right angles to the longitudinal axis and rotatable around it.
  • the disadvantage of this device is that, without increasing the jacket diameter, it allows only a few symbols of sufficiently visible surface area and cannot be illuminated from behind without casting a shadow on the axis of rotation.
  • the object of the present invention is to improve a switch position detector of the type mentioned in such a way that it has the largest possible display area with a small jacket diameter and also opens up the possibility of signaling as many symbols as possible.
  • this object is achieved in that a pivot shaft for a disk bearing a symbol surface is arranged eccentrically transversely to the longitudinal axis of the jacket, which disk can be pivoted between a first and a second position and in the first position essentially at right angles and in the second position is oriented essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the jacket.
  • the switch position indicator has a jacket 1 with a square cross section, which is closed at a rear end by a plate 2 and forms an opening 3 at the front end.
  • the front jacket end is provided with a flange-like edge 4, onto which a frame 5 which fades out the edge zone of the opening 3 is attached.
  • a pair of swivel bearings 6 is arranged on the flange-like edge 4 on each of its four sides.
  • a pivot shaft 7 is mounted in each of which a pivot shaft 7 is mounted.
  • a disk 9 is fastened to each pivot shaft 7 by means of a web 8 and the web 6 is designed such that when the disk 9 in its position shown in FIG. 1 is parallel to the corresponding side wall of the casing 1, between this side wall and the disk 9 there is a space 10.
  • each disk 9 is assigned a sliding plate 11, which is mounted so as to be longitudinally displaceable in a dovetail groove (not shown) arranged in the corresponding side wall and abuts against the web 8 at the upper end.
  • the lower end of the sliding plate 11 is operatively connected to a drive 12 which, depending on the operating state to be signaled, moves the sliding plate 11 up or down or, if appropriate, into an intermediate position.
  • a web 12 ' is inserted on the inside, which carries an electrical signal lamp (13) which can be replaced from the front and which illuminates the translucent panes 9 when they assume the first position, which is oriented essentially at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the jacket.
  • the disks 9 can be of different colors, so that a total of four individual colors or several mixed color combinations can be signaled.
  • the pivot shaft 7 lies in the same plane, oriented transversely to the longitudinal axis of the jacket, all of the disks 9 can be swiveled into the first position, with some of the disks 9 only adjusting at least approximately at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the jacket in the first position.
  • the frame 5 hides the edge region of the opening 3 or the pane 9 located in the first position, thereby preventing a failure of oblique scattered light from the lamp 13.
  • the switch position indicator can be designed with only one disk 9, which can only be pivoted between the first and the second position. However, it is preferably designed with a plurality of pivotable disks, which, if necessary, can also assume a central position between the first and second positions.
  • the jacket 1 can have any cross-sectional shape, but a rectangular or square cross-section achieves the largest possible symbol area with the smallest jacket diameter. It is also possible to use opaque disks instead of translucent disks 9, it being possible to dispense with the lamp 13.
