Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a switch structure, particularly for motor vehicle electric window winders.
  • Actuation can be either manual or automatic according to the fact that the complete raising, or closure, of the window may be effected by maintaining the switch actuated, or possibly by means of a single pulse, exerted on the switch itself.
  • the object of the invention is that of eliminating the aforementioned disadvantages by providing a switch structure particularly for motor vehicle electrical window winders, which will allow a simplified structure to be obtained with a limited number of component elements whilst having an operation which is always - correct and precise.
  • a particular object of the invention is that of providing a switch structure particularly designed for electrical window winders, in which there will be the possibility of having a perfect sealed isolation between the interior of the body of the switch and the exterior, thus preventing damage to the contacts because of infiltrations of any type.
  • Another object of the invention is that of providing a switch which, because of its constructional simplicity, can be utilised both for automatic control and for manual control of the windows, thus being extremely practical and versatile in use.
  • a further object of the present invention is that of providing a switch structure, particularly for electrical window winders, which because of its constructional characteristics, is able to offer the widest gaurantees of reliability and security in use.
  • a switch structure particularly for motor vehicle electrical window winders, characterised by the fact that it comprises a box-like body closed at the top by a frame which defines seatings for housing a plurality of push buttons contacting respective rigid movable electrically conductive blade pivoted at one end to a fixed contact provided on a printed circuit and connected to the motor, and at the other end movable between a negative fixed contact and a positive movable contact.
  • the switch structure particularly for electrical window winders which is indicated generally with the reference numeral 1 comprises a box-like body 2, preferably, but not necessarily, of rectangular shape, which is closed at the top by a small frame 3 which, advantageously, is snap engaged thereon.
  • the small frame 3 defines a plurality of seatings 4 for housing a plurality of push buttons 5 for the actuation of the windows.
  • the push buttons 5 preferably, but not necessarily, have in their upper part a small plate 6 where there are provided illuminated ideograms which can be made either with polycarbonate or by co-moulding.
  • the seal 7 has a central portion 8 shaped like a bellows with a perimetral outer border 9 which is clamped between the frame 3 and the box-like body 2.
  • the rubber seal 7 has an annular enlargement 10 which is lodged in seatings 11 correspondingly provided on the keys 5 in such a way as to create a fixed connection to each key.
  • the rubber seal 7 thus defines a membrane which connects together the push buttons and the box-like casing, forming a diaphragm to prevent the passage of impurities of any type.
  • the key 5 has a tail 15 which acts on the median portion of a rigid movable blade, generally indicated with the reference numeral 16, which at its end is pivoted to a fixed contact 17 which is supported by a rigid printed circuit 18 and which is connected to the motor.
  • first spring 19 acting at the other end against the printed circuit
  • second spring 20 which interacts between the blade and the push button 5 in the region of the tail 15, thus creating a resilient thrust element for return movements of the push button itself.
  • the movable rigid blade 16 which is made of conductive material has a contact body 21 which is movable between a fixed negative contact 22 and a movable positive contact 23 constituted by a resiliently yieldable bridge which opposes the action of a spring 24 which acts between the bridge 23 and the printed circuit.
  • the bridge which in practice constitutes an end stop for the descent of the rigid movable blade, is connected to the window winder motor.
  • an electric lamp 40 which creates an internal illumination within the switch, which makes it easier to see the ideograms provided on the push buttons.
  • any materials may be used and likewise, any dimensions and contingent forms according to requirements as long as they are compatible with the specific use.
