Definitions
- the present invention relates to a control member of an electric switch according to the precharacterizing part of claim 1.
- a switch is for example described in US-A-3,250,887.
- the object of the invention is to provide a control member of the type defined above, which can be manufactured in a simple and inexpensive manner, while eliminating any risk of alteration of the signaling zone of the state of the switch.
- control member according to the invention is characterized according to the characterizing part of claim 1.
- the separate part is made of a material of a color different from that of the lever, in particular by molding.
- the separate part has a cross section of the general shape of a U, in a plane substantially parallel to the actuation surface of the lever, and the display or signaling end has a support and assembly structure for said U-shaped part.
- the ends of the walls of the part which form the branches of the U have projections which extend towards the inside of the U, perpendicular to the walls, and the support structure of the lever comprises elements ensuring a fixing of the part by snap-fastening of said projections in said elements.
- the figures show a control member A in the form of a pivoting lever with two arms or in the form of a lever, intended to equip an electric switch.
- the control lever is intended to be pivotally mounted on the framing walls B of the open upper end of a switch box housing the electrical contact device that the lever according to the invention shown controls. Switch boxes of this type being known per se, the box is not shown. We recognize in 1 the pins forming pivots for mounting the lever in the frame structure.
- the control lever comprises an upper actuating wall 2 and side walls 3 which are shaped to extend substantially perpendicularly towards the interior of the housing, from the wall 2. It can be seen that the end pieces forming pivots 1 are provided on the lateral external faces of the lever. 4 shows the plunger of the lever, which is intended to act on the electrical contact device.
- the switch according to the invention is mounted in the housing in such a way that these two ends pivot between a low position, in which the upper actuation surface is practically at the same level as the upper edge of the framing structure B, as shown schematically on the right side of Figure 1, and a high position in which a large area of the end emerges from the housing and is visible from three sides. This position is shown schematically on the left side of Figure 1.
- One of the two ends in the example shown the end on the left side, carries a part 6 which is removably mounted on the lever.
- Figure 4 which is a perspective view of this part 6, it has a cross section of general shape of a U, in a plane substantially parallel to the actuating surface of the lever. Its outer surface is shaped so that when assembled on the lever, it has on its left side the same outline as on its right side.
- the ends of the side walls 7 of the branches of the U have projections 8 which extend substantially perpendicularly towards the inside of the U to form snap projections.
- the height of the part 6 is greater on the side opposite the carrying end of the projections 8.
- the part 6 is produced separately from the rest of the lever, preferably from a material of a color different from that of the lever.
- the left arm of the lever is shaped to carry the element 6.
- it has a support structure 10 which extends from the upper actuating wall 2 towards the interior of the housing.
- This structure has a substantially rectangular cross section in a plane parallel to this wall, as is clear from FIG. 2, in a complementary manner to the cross section of the part 6.
- the part 6 and the structure 10 are shaped to allow advantageously removable mounting of the part 6 on the support arm of the switch lever, the projections 8 of the part 6 engaging behind the wall elements 11 of the structure 10. An assembly is thus obtained by snap-fastening.

Claims (7)
- Kipphebelförmiges Antriebsteil für einen elektrischen Schalter, das in einem Gehäuse (B) montiert ist, sodaß wenigstens ein End zwischen einer im Gehäuse eingezogenen Stellung und einer Stellung schwenkt , in der es wenigstens teilweise aus dem Gehäuse hervorragt , damit es sichtbar ist, wobei dieser Hebel eine obere Antriebswand und sich wenigstens am besagten Ende im wesentlichen senkrecht zur besagten Wand zum Inneren des Gehäuses erstreckende Seitenwände aufweist, wenigstens eine Zone der äusseren Fläche der besagten Seitenwänden gefärbt ist zur Darstellung des Anstriebszustands der Vorrichtung, und wobei diese gefärbte Fläche die äussere Fläche eines getrennt erzeugten Teils (6) das auf dem besagten Ende des Hebels montiert ist, welcher Hebel in diesen Seitenwänden geeignete Vertiefungen zum Empfang des besagten Teils aufweist, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß das getrennte Teil in einer zur Fläche (2) zur Betätigung des Hebels im wesentlichen parallelen Ebene einen Querschnitt in der allgemeinen Gestalt eines U aufweist, und auf einer am Ende des Hebels vorgesehenen Struktur zum Tragen und Montieren des besagten U-förmigen Teils (6) lösbar montiert ist.
- Antriebsteil nach Anspruch 1, dessen Enden der Wände (7) des Teils (6), die die Schenkel des U bilden, Vorsprünge (8) aufweisen zum Festhalten durch Einrasten des getrennten Teils auf dem Antriebsteil, die sich zum Inneren des U, senkrecht zu den Wänden (7) erstrecken, und daß die Struktur (10) zum Tragen des Hebels Elemente (11) aufweist, hinter denen die Vorsprünge (8) einrasten können.
- Antriebsteil nach Anspruch 1 order 2, dessen besagte Struktur (10) zur Tragen des Teils (6) Mittel zum Festmachen des Teils (6) auf dem Hebel in der Richtung der Bewegung des Hebels aufweist.
- Antriebsteil nach Anspruch 3, dessen Wände (12,13) der Struktur (10) zum Tragen des Teils (5) sich von der oberen Antriebsfläche divergent erstrecken, um ein lösbares Verriegeln des Teils (6) auf dem Hebel zu gewährleisten.
- Antriebsteil nach einem der vorangehenden Ansprüche, dessen getrenntes Teil (6) insbesondere durch Formen aus einem Material hergestellt ist, dessen Farbe von der des Hebels (A) abweicht.
- Antriebsteil nach einem der vorangehenden Ansprüche, wobei der Kipphebel zwei Arme aufweist und die longitudinalen Seitenwände des Hebels zylindrische Drehzapfen- bildende Ansätze tragen, die fähig sind in Lager- bildende Öffnungen des Gehäuses einzutreten, dessen wenigstens einer der Arme eine Gestalt aufweist, die es ermöglicht, das getrennte Teil zu empfangen.
- Antriebsteil nach einem der vorangehenden Ansprüch, dessen getrenntes Teil (6) aus einem durchscheinenden Material hergestellt ist und daß eine Lampe im Gehäuse (B) vorgesehen ist, deren Licht von drei Seiten durch das besagte Teil (6) sichtbar ist.
