Definitions

  • the invention relates to a retractable rotary knob according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the retractable rotary knob of the known type by an optical display device in order to recognize or read the setting markings and the operating display even with poor room lighting or impaired visual acuity of the operator enable.
  • the invention provides a retractable rotary toggle with illuminated setting marking characters, which allows the setting marking characters to be clearly recognized even under unfavorable lighting conditions and poor visual acuity. Furthermore, this retractable rotary stands out gag through a uniform light distribution in the entire area of the setting markers. Furthermore, an additional optical operating display can be omitted because the start-up of the relevant consumer is signaled at the same time by the lighting up of the markings.
  • the diaphragm plate 1 designates the front plate of a switch panel for a household appliance, which in the illustrated embodiment is made of a transparent material, e.g. Glass.
  • the diaphragm plate 1 is tinted or colored from the rear so that a transparent ring area 3 remains only around a toggle opening 2.
  • the toggle opening 2 in the diaphragm plate 1 is occupied by a retractable rotary toggle 4 which is designed as a hollow cylinder and which, in its lowered position (rest position), is aligned with the front of the diaphragm plate 1.
  • the rotary toggle 4 is slidably or displaceably on a toggle shaft 5 which is operatively connected to a switching or control device 7 via a plug connection 6.
  • a compression spring (not visible) which is supported against the end of the knob shaft 5 which ends in the rotary knob and with the aid of which it is pressed by briefly tapping the rotary knob 1 from its retracted locking position into the extended operating position in which the Switching or control device 7 can be set.
  • a retractable rotary knob 4 which has a cylindrical or pot-like reflector body 8, which is held in a manner not shown by a plug or tab connection on a diaphragm plate 1 carrying diaphragm frame 9.
  • the reflector body 8 has an annular reflector chamber 10 which is open toward the diaphragm plate 1 and is formed by molding, so that the reflector body and the reflector chamber are formed in one piece.
  • the open side of the reflector chamber 10 directed towards the rear of the diaphragm plate 1 is covered with a translucent or translucent ring body 11, which preferably consists of a prism glass or a glass ring with a prism-like surface arranged on the outside.
  • a luminous element which consists of a plurality of individual glow lamps 12, 12 ', 12 “, 12”' arranged around its circumference or a glow lamp with a plurality of arc-shaped luminous glass bulbs 13, 13 ', 13 "
  • Several individual glow lamps as luminous bodies are fixed components of an insulating ring body 14 made of hard paper, which is placed on the back of the reflector chamber 10.
  • the glow lamps 12, 12 ', 12 ", 12”' are arranged so that they protrude perpendicularly from the insulating ring body 14 Glow lamps in the reflector chamber 10 has corresponding insertion openings 15 on the rear side.
  • the insulating ring body 14 also carries the electrical circuit for the glow lamps, which is designed in a known manner as a printed circuit.
  • a switch position indicator 16 provided with markings made of translucent material is coupled, the ring-like marking surface 17 of which is arranged between the translucent ring body 11 of the reflector chamber 10 and the rear of the diaphragm plate 1. In front of the marking surface 17 there is the transparent ring area 3 of the diaphragm plate 1.
  • the switch position indicator 16 is also cylindrical or cup-shaped and designed so that the reflector body 8 takes it in with play.
