Definitions

  • the invention relates to a push button switch with at least one switching bridge, which can be moved back and forth between two switching positions by means of a spring-loaded push button movably guided in the switch housing, the switching bridge in one position connecting two fixed contacts on the switch housing and in the other position of these Contacts is separated, in which switch the pushbutton for locking in the actuated position and for unlocking from this position by renewed actuation on a flattened side of its pushbutton shaft extending over the entire height of the switch housing has a heart-shaped design around a center pin provided with a recessed recess Has guide groove into which a slide movably guided in a transverse groove of the switch housing engages with a pin formed on it.
  • the invention has for its object to construct a push button switch according to the preamble of claim so that the pressing of the switching bridge against the housing-fixed contacts can be done by the spring returning the push button.
  • the switching bridge is arranged on a laterally protruding support part which can be fixedly mounted on the push-button shaft designed as a tubular extension, and in that the heart-shaped guide groove is extended downwards in the manner of a slot, the length of the slot being so dimensioned is that, under the action of the spring acting on the push button, the switching bridge comes into contact with the contacts fixed to the housing, without the pin resting against the end of the slot.
  • the assembly of the spring is particularly simple in that a coil spring is arranged concentrically on the tubular extension as a spring and is supported at one end on a projecting edge of the push button and at the other end in a circular recess in the switch housing.
  • the supporting part and the switching bridge are formed in one piece as a T-shaped contact piece, the T-bar forming the switching bridge and the T-shaped contact piece with its shaft in a through both walls of the tubular extension through transverse slot is inserted and locked by means of a locking tongue provided on the shaft in the cavity of the tubular extension.
  • a push-button 3 having a tubular extension 2 is slidably guided.
  • a helical spring 4 is arranged concentrically to the tubular extension 2 and is supported at one end on an edge 5 formed on the push button 3 and at the other end in a circular recess 6 of the switch housing 1.
  • a lateral projection 7 is formed, in which two contacts 8 fixed to the housing are arranged side by side. The contacts 8 fixed to the housing are connected to contact tabs 9 protruding from the projection 7.
  • a transverse groove 10 is provided, in which a slide 11 is movably guided.
  • a peg 12 is formed on the slide 11 and protrudes into a heart-shaped guide groove 14 formed on the flattened side 13 of the tubular extension 2.
  • the heart-shaped guide groove is guided around a central pin 15, which has a locking recess 16, in which the pin 12 bears against the central pin 15 in the one switching position, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the lower tip 17 of the heart-shaped guide groove 14 merges into a slot 18.
  • a transverse slot 19 is provided, which passes through both walls of the tubular extension. This transverse slot 19 serves to receive a T-shaped contact piece 20, the T-bar 21 of which forms a switching bridge for the contacts 8 fixed to the housing.
  • the T-shaped contact piece 20 With its shaft 22, the T-shaped contact piece 20 is inserted into the transverse slot 19 on the tubular extension 2 of the push button 3.
  • a latching tongue 23 On the shaft 22 of the T-shaped contact piece 20, a latching tongue 23 is also provided which, after the shaft 22 has been inserted into the transverse slot 19, springs upwards in the cavity 24 of the tubular extension 2 and is thereby behind one wall of the tubular extension 2 hooked, so that the T-shaped contact piece 20 is thereby held on the tubular extension 2.
  • Fig. 1 the push button switch is shown in the switching position in which the switching bridge 21 is lifted from the contacts 8 fixed to the housing.
  • the pin 12 of the slider 11 is located in the locking recess 16 of the central pin 15. This causes the push button 3 against the force of the screw.
  • Benfeder 4 held in the position shown, in which the switching bridge 21 is lifted from the contacts 8 fixed to the housing.
  • the pin 12 abuts against the edge 25 of the guide groove 14 lying above the locking recess 15.
  • the slide 11 is hereby laterally displaced in the transverse groove 10, so that its pin 12 lies over the vertical part 26 of the heart-shaped guide groove 14.
  • the push button 3 When the push button 3 is released, it is now pressed upwards by the helical spring 4, the vertical part 26 of the heart-shaped guide groove 14 passing the pin 12. The pin 12 finally meets a lower run-up slope 27 of the heart-shaped guide groove 14 and slides along it, so that the slide 11 is again displaced in the transverse groove. Finally, the pin 12 passes through the slot 18.
  • the push button 3 is pressed upwards by the helical spring 4 until the switching bridge 21 rests on the contacts 8 fixed to the housing.
  • the contact pressure of the switching bridge 21 on the contacts fixed to the housing is exerted by the helical spring 4.
  • the length of the slot 18 is dimensioned such that the pin 12 does not yet abut the end of the slot 18 when the switching bridge 21 is in contact with the contacts 8 fixed to the housing.
  • the switching bridge 21 can freely contact the contacts 8 fixed to the housing.
  • An insertion groove 29 is formed in the right half of the heart-shaped guide groove 14, through which the slide 11 inserted into the transverse groove 10 from the outside can be inserted with its pin 12 into the heart-shaped guide groove 14.
