Definitions

  • the invention relates to a push button according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a push button with an elongated button body is known, on which a swivel bracket is articulated in the region of its two ends.
  • the swivel bracket transfers part of the actuating force to the opposite end of the key body. This prevents the key body from tilting, which would cause the tappet connected to the key body to tilt in its guide, which would ultimately disrupt the function of the pushbutton.
  • the swivel bracket is counter-mounted in receiving elements on a fixed base plate, with the receiving elements mostly being arranged within the base plate area covered by the key body for reasons of modular construction.
  • the object of this invention is therefore to develop a push button of the type mentioned above so that it can be assembled mechanically in a simple manner and with little effort.
  • Such a pushbutton provided with sliding bevels is assembled by a single one-dimensional movement, which can be carried out mechanically with a simple device.
  • the push button according to the invention is thus to be treated like a push button without swivel bracket during assembly.
  • a concave course of the sliding bevel results in a favorable distribution of the force components acting on the second bracket axis, since the actual displacement of the second bracket axis only takes place when the plunger of the key body is already securely guided in the housing.
  • first bracket axis on the button body is only rotatable and the second bracket axis is rotatably and displaceably mounted in the receiving elements has the advantage, on the one hand, when mounting the push button that the first bracket axis is always in a defined position on the button body and, on the other hand, that storage , which allows movements in one plane, as is necessary for a displacement of the second bracket axis, is more suitable for an automatic feeding of an axis.
  • the design of the receiving elements in connection with a sliding slope enables a continuous and smooth insertion of the second bracket axis, as well as a problem-free and low-resistance sliding of the second bracket axis from the receiving elements when the push button is possibly removed.
  • the design of the second stirrup axis in the form of spaced-apart axle supports usually makes it possible to use the Ab bevelled and to arrange the receiving elements within the base area covered by the key body, since a housing arranged between the free ends of the axle stub does not stand in the way of the second bracket axis when it is inserted into the receiving elements.
  • FIG. 1 shows a pushbutton DT arranged on a horizontal base plate GP, which essentially consists of a housing G, an elongated key body TK and a swivel bracket SB.
  • the housing G fastened on the base plate GP has a shaft-like opening SOE, which is directed perpendicular to the base plate GP onto a spring element FE located in the interior of the housing G.
  • the key body TK which is arranged with its longitudinal direction parallel to the base plate GP, extends over the housing G. At half its length, it has a cylindrical plunger S projecting at right angles to the base plate GP, which is axially guided in the shaft-like opening SOE of the housing G and presses with its end SE onto the spring element FE.
  • the key body TK is each provided with a bearing element LE, in which a first bracket axis EBA of the swivel bracket SB is mounted parallel to the longitudinal direction of the button body TK so that it can be rotated about its own axis.
  • the swivel bracket SB is composed of the first bracket axis EBA and a second bracket axis ZBA parallel to this.
  • This second bracket axis ZBA the course of which is indicated by a broken line, consists of two spaced-apart axle connectors AS, each of which is rigidly connected at one end via a connecting element VE to an assigned end of the first bracket axis EBA and which point towards one another with their free ends .
  • the swivel bracket can thus be easily formed from a single piece of wire.
  • axle supports AS rest in assigned receiving elements UP, which are fastened on the base plate GP.
  • receiving elements AUF In front of the receiving elements AUF there is a sliding slope AGS for the relevant axle socket AS.
  • FIG. 2 shows in cross section the key body TK and a receiving element AUF with associated slip slope AGS.
  • the key body TK whose plunger S is also indicated together with the housing G, shows one of the bearing elements LE for the first bracket axis EBA, which runs inside the key body TK along its rear longitudinal edge HLK.
  • the bearing elements LE each consist in a simple manner of a crossbar with a bore and a snap-in opening EOE for the problem-free reception of the first bracket axis EBA.
  • the second bracket axis ZBA is assigned to the front longitudinal edge VLK of the key body TK and runs below it in the receiving elements AUF on the base plate GP.
  • the receiving elements AUF each consist of a strip-shaped sliding surface GLF which is oriented in the transverse direction to the key body TK and runs parallel to the base plate GP and which has a parallel holding point with its free end in the transverse direction to the key body TK on the sliding slope AGS nose NA is covered.
  • the respective axle socket AS Between the sliding surface GLF and the retaining lug NA is the respective axle socket AS, which can be rotated about its own axis and displaced in the transverse direction to the key body TK.
  • the sliding slope AGS upstream of the receiving elements AUF is located with its ridge SP below the first bracket axis EBA.
  • the slip bevels AGS fall from their respective ridges SP in a concave arc to the sliding surface GF of the respective receiving element UP and pass smoothly into the sliding surface.
  • the pushbutton DT which is limited to inserting the plunger of the key body TK into the housing G, and the swivel bracket SB already mounted on the key body TK into the receiving elements UP, is carried out in a simple manner by inserting the plunger S along its axial direction into the shaft-like opening SOE of the housing G, the rear longitudinal edge HLK of the key body TK covering the ridges SP of both sliding bevels AGS.
  • the plunger S presses against the spring element FE and the axle socket AS slide between the sliding surfaces GLF and their retaining lugs NA in the direction of the front longitudinal edge VLK of the key body TK. If the pushbutton is left blank, the spring element FE brings the key body TK back to the rest position.
  • the plunger S can be designed as a circular cylinder, on the outside of which two diametrically opposite axial guide webs FST are formed. Associated with the guide webs FST, longitudinal grooves are embedded in the inner wall of the shaft-like opening SOE, in which the guide webs FST are axially displaceable.
  • the plunger also has two diametrically opposed, radially outwardly projecting snap hooks SH, which get caught in the shaft-like guide opening SOE and prevent the key body TK from falling out.
  • an auxiliary plunger HS parallel to the plunger S is fastened to the key body TK.
  • auxiliary tappets HS two standing, parallel, mutually parallel, spaced in the transverse direction to the key body TK and aligned in the longitudinal direction of the key body TK shaft walls SW are attached.
  • the respective auxiliary tappet HS moves between these shaft walls when the pushbutton DT is pressed. However, it only touches the shaft walls SW when the key body TK is subjected to an extreme torque acting around the tappet axis.
  • the auxiliary plunger HS serve to support the two ends of the key body TK on the base plate GP.
