Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Schlüssel für Druckknopfmelder, wie sie für Gefahrenmelder, z.B. Feuer-, Notalarm- oder Notrufmelder verwendet werden. Druckknopfmelder weisen eine Tür auf, die mit einem dafür vorgesehenen Schlüssel geöffnet und geschlossen werden kann. In der Brandmeldetechnik gibt es für die Druckknopfmelder, deren Gehäuse rot ist, einen bestimmten Schlüssel, der genormt ist und im allgemeinen für eine bestimmte Schließungsart vorgesehen ist. Diese Schließungsart ist üblicherweise durch einen Buchstaben, z.B. "D", gekennzeichnet, der beispielsweise auf dem Griffring des Schlüssels aufgebracht sein kann.The invention relates to a key for push button detectors as used for hazard detectors, e.g. Fire, emergency alarm or emergency call detectors can be used. Push button detectors have a door that can be opened and closed with a key provided. In fire alarm technology, there is a specific key for the push-button alarm, the housing of which is red, which is standardized and is generally intended for a specific type of locking. This type of closure is usually indicated by a letter, e.g. "D", which can be applied, for example, to the handle ring of the key.

Der bekannte Schlüssel wurde bisher aus Stahlguß mit einer verkupferten bzw. vernickelten Oberfläche hergestellt. Er weist einen sehr langen Schlüsselschaft und einen verhältnismäßig kleinen Schlüssel-Griffring auf. Dieser Schlüssel, der auch in ganz ähnlicher Form für andere Gefahren-Druckknopfmelder verwendet wird, hat eine Reihe von Nachteilen. Er weist eine sehr unhandliche Form auf, die sowohl beim Schließen als auch beim Tragen an einem Schlüsselbund unpraktisch ist. Außer für die oben erwähnten Schließungsart weist der bekannte Schlüssel keine Möglichkeit auf, einen Firmennamen oder bestimmte Symbole, die leicht erkannt werden sollen, aufzubringen. Darüberhinaus sind die Herstellungskosten für den Schlüssel aus Stahlguß sehr hoch.The known key was previously made of cast steel with a copper-plated or nickel-plated surface. It has a very long key shaft and a relatively small key grip ring. This key, which is also used in a very similar form for other hazard push button detectors, has a number of disadvantages. It has a very bulky shape, which is impractical both when closing and when being carried on a keychain. Except for the type of lock mentioned above, the known key has no possibility of applying a company name or certain symbols that are to be easily recognized. In addition, the cost of manufacturing the cast steel key is very high.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Schlüssel für Druckknopfmelder derart auszubilden, daß die obengenannten Nachteile vermieden werden können, und daß der Schlüssel mit geringem Aufwand problemlos für diverse Verwendungszwecke hergestellt werden kann.The object of the invention is to design a key for push button detectors in such a way that the disadvantages mentioned above can be avoided, and that the key can be easily manufactured for various uses with little effort.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem eingangs genannten Schlüssel erfindungsgemäß mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention with a key mentioned at the outset with the characterizing features of claim 1.

Der neu gestaltete Schlüssel ist aus einem festen Kunststoff hergestellt, was zur erheblichen Kostensenkung beiträgt. Die großflächige Schlüsselplatte mit einer etwa daumengroßen Fläche und einem am Außenrand umlaufenden Wulst bilden eine ergometrisch günstige Form für die Handhabung des Schlüssels. Der Wulst bildet einen verdickten und abgerundeten Versteifungsrand, der nicht nur die Stabilität des Schlüssels erhöht, sondern auch ein Abrutschen des Daumens und der anderen Finger verhindert. Darüber hinaus weist er einen kurzen Schlüsselschaft auf. Er kann auch ein Loch in der Griffplatte aufweisen, so daß er bequemer am Schlüsselbund getragen werden kann.The newly designed key is made of a solid plastic, which contributes to significant cost reductions. The large-sized key plate with an approximately thumb-sized surface and a bead running around the outer edge form an ergonomically favorable shape for handling the key. The bulge forms a thickened and rounded stiffening edge that not only increases the stability of the key, but also prevents the thumb and other fingers from slipping. It also has a short key shaft. It can also have a hole in the handle plate so that it can be carried more easily on the keychain.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist zumindest eine Griff-Fläche der Schlüsselplatte mit einem Namenszug, beispielsweise einem Firmennamen, und/oder mit einem Schriftzeichen bzw. Symbol, z.B. ein Piktogramm für Feuer, versehen. In vorteilhafter Weise kann dies mit Hilfe eines Wechselstempels im Spritzwerkzeug erfolgen, so daß bei der Herstellung in einem Arbeitsgang Namenszug und/oder Symbol mitgeprägt wird. Der Namenszug oder andere Zeichen können auch anderweitig aufgebracht sein.In a further embodiment of the invention, at least one grip surface of the key plate is provided with a name, for example a company name, and / or with a character or symbol, e.g. a pictogram for fire. In an advantageous manner, this can be done with the aid of a changing stamp in the injection mold, so that the name and / or symbol are co-embossed in one operation. The name or other characters can also be applied elsewhere.

Eine zweckmäßige Ausgestaltung ist dadurch gegeben, daß die Griffplatte ovalförmig ausgebildet ist und somit eine besonders günstige ergometrische Form aufweist.An expedient embodiment is given in that the handle plate is oval in shape and thus has a particularly favorable ergometric shape.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Griffplatte rechteckförmig ausgebildet. Dabei kann eine eventuell vorgesehene Aussparung von einem kreisförmigen Loch oder von einem Langloch gebildet sein. So wie die aufgebrachten Symbole oder Schriftzeichen für den jeweiligen Verwendungszweck vorzusehen sind, so kann in vorteilhafter Weise auch die Farbe des Kunststoffes dem jeweiligen Verwendungszweck entsprechen, beispielsweise rot für Druckknopfmelder der Brandmeldetechnik, oder beispielsweise gelb für Notalarm oder blau für Notrufe. Auf diese Weise kann problemlos der neue Schlüssel mit seiner Farbe und den entsprechenden Schriften oder Piktogrammen dem jeweiligen Verwendungszweck angepaßt werden.In a further embodiment of the invention, the handle plate is rectangular. A recess that may be provided can be formed by a circular hole or by an elongated hole. Just as the applied symbols or characters are to be provided for the respective intended use, the color of the plastic can also advantageously correspond to the respective intended use, for example red for push-button detectors of fire alarm technology, or for example yellow for emergency alarms or blue for emergency calls. In this way, the new key with its color and the corresponding fonts or pictograms can easily be adapted to the respective purpose.

An einem Ausführungsbeispiel wird der erfindungsgemäße Schlüssel anhand der Zeichnung erläutert. Dabei zeigen

  • Fig. 1 den neuen Schlüssel mit neutralem Aussehen,
  • Fig. 2 und 3 mit Namenszug und verschiedenen Kennzeichnungen,
  • Fig. 4 und 5 eine andere Ausführungsform des Schlüssels.
In one embodiment, the key according to the invention is explained with the aid of the drawing. Show
  • 1 shows the new key with a neutral appearance,
  • 2 and 3 with the name and various labels,
  • 4 and 5 another embodiment of the key.

In Fig. 1 ist die verhältnismäßig große ovalförmige Schlüsselplatte 1 mit dem verdickten und abgerundeten, am äußeren Rand umlaufenden Versteifungsrand 2 zu sehen. Die etwa daumengroße Griff-Fläche 8 ist hier weder mit einem Namenszug noch mit einem Symbol versehen. Mittig im oberen Bereich der Griff-Fläche 8 ist eine Aussparung 4 angeordnet, so daß der Schlüssel am Schlüsselbund getragen oder an einem Haken eines Schlüsselbretts aufgehängt werden kann. Der verhältnismäßig kurze Schlüsselschaft 7 weist im allgemeinen eine übliche Ausnehmung 5 und den Schlüsselbart 6 auf.1 shows the relatively large oval-shaped key plate 1 with the thickened and rounded stiffening edge 2 running around the outer edge. The approximately thumb-sized grip surface 8 is neither provided with a name nor with a symbol. A recess 4 is arranged in the middle in the upper area of the handle surface 8, so that the key can be carried on the key ring or hung on a hook of a key board. The relatively short key shaft 7 generally has a conventional recess 5 and the key bit 6.

In Fig. 2 ist der erfindungsgemäße Schlüssel erneut mit ovaler Griffplatte 1 dargestellt, jedoch ist die Griff-Fläche 8 mit einem Schriftzug 9, z.B. ein Firmenname, und mit einem Symbol für Feuer 3, einem Piktogramm, versehen. Die Kennzeichnung für die Schließungsart, durch den Buchstaben D ausgedrückt, ist im Versteifungsrand angebracht.In Fig. 2 the key according to the invention is again shown with an oval handle plate 1, however the handle surface 8 is marked with a lettering 9, e.g. a company name, and with a symbol for fire 3, a pictogram. The identification for the type of closure, expressed by the letter D, is attached to the stiffening edge.

In Fig. 3 ist anstelle des Piktogramms ein Buchstabe F für Feuer dargestellt (3). Entsprechend einer anderen Verwendungsart können andere Piktogramme oder Kennzeichen oder Buchstaben auf der Griff-Fläche bzw. auf beiden Griff-Flächen angeordnet sein, sowie die Farbe des aus Kunststoff gefertigten Schlüssels entsprechend den Gehäusefarben der einzelnen Druckknopfmelder hergestellt sein.In Fig. 3, a letter F for fire is shown instead of the pictogram (3). According to another type of use, other pictograms or marks or letters can be arranged on the handle surface or on both handle surfaces, and the color of the key made of plastic can be made according to the housing colors of the individual push button detectors.

In Fig.4 und 5 ist eine andere Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Schlüssels gezeigt. Die Griffplatte 1 ist rechteckförmig ausgebildet und weist abgerundete Ecken auf sowie einen umlaufenden Wulst (2). Die Griff-Fläche 8 kann - wie in Fig. 5 gezeigt - einen Namenszug 9, ein Piktogramm 3 und eine Schließungsartkennzeichnung 10 aufweisen, welche jedoch auf der Schlüsselplatte 1 beliebig angeordnet sein können.Another embodiment of the key according to the invention is shown in FIGS. The handle plate 1 is rectangular and has rounded corners and a circumferential bead (2). The handle surface 8 can - as shown in Fig. 5 - have a name 9, a pictogram 3 and a locking type identification 10, which can, however, be arranged on the key plate 1 as desired.

Im oberen Bereich der Griff-Fläche 8 ist eine Aussparung 4 angeordnet, die von einem Langloch gebildet sein kann.In the upper area of the handle surface 8 there is a recess 4, which can be formed by an elongated hole.

Es sind für die Ausgestaltung der Schlüsselplatte beliebig andere Ausführungsformen möglich, die jedoch im einzelnen nicht dargestellt sind.Any other embodiments are possible for the design of the key plate, but these are not shown in detail.
