Definitions

  • the invention relates to a key switch consisting of a housing open on one side with a housing cover and a commercially available cylinder lock, by means of which a switch insert that performs switching functions is actuated.
  • a key switch with a housing in the removable cover of which a cylinder lock with a rotatable locking beard is fastened by means of a fastening lug.
  • a seal and a cover plate are attached to the removable cover, which are each provided with a push-through recess for the cylinder lock.
  • the cover, seal and cover plate are connected to the housing using four congruent fastening holes using screws.
  • a disadvantage of the known device is that the thickness of the seal and cover plate must match the part of the cylinder lock protruding from the operator side of the cover. Matching the seal and cover plate to the lock cylinder is essential, as standard cylinder locks are used for key switches and these have different dimensions depending on the manufacturer.
  • the invention seeks to remedy this.
  • the invention as characterized in the claims, achieves the object of avoiding the disadvantages of the known device and of creating a modular key switch which is largely independent of the dimensions of the cylinder lock.
  • key locks can be realized with cylinder locks of different dimensions, in which cover plates with standardized push-through recesses and different wall thicknesses are used.
  • Another advantage can be seen in the fact that cylinder locks of such key switches can be aligned flush with the surface-mounted cover plates, in particular in the case of flush mounting, regardless of the thickness of the plaster.
  • Another advantage is that such key switches can be installed in existing components such as cladding, door frames and the like, which make a cover plate unnecessary.
  • 1 denotes a housing which is open on one side and consists of side walls 2, a base 3, a lower part 4 and an upper part 5.
  • One piece Part is angled at the first bending edges 6, so that a U-shaped housing part with the side walls 2 and the bottom 3 is formed.
  • Lower part 4 and upper part 5 are welded to the side walls 2 and bottom 3.
  • a connection opening 7 is provided in the bottom 3 for the passage of a switch connection cable.
  • Long slots 8, which serve to guide first fastening screws 9, run parallel to the broad sides of the side walls 2.
  • a housing cover 10 which fits into the housing opening and has chamfered corners and angled tabs 12 on second bending edges 11, on which first bores 13 with threads are arranged at a distance from the two elongated slots 8 arranged on each side wall 2, is engaged with the threads of the first bores 13 first fastening screws 9 in connection, so that it can be moved along the slots 8 over a distance d.
  • the housing cover 10 On the operator side, the housing cover 10 carries a collar 14 which is connected to the housing cover 10 by means of second fastening screws 16 engaging in second bores 15 arranged on the housing cover 10 with threads.
  • a push-through opening 17 is provided, through which a commercially available cylinder lock 18 fastened with nuts 20 to the collar 14 passes, which is surrounded on the operator side by the collar 14 and is connected to a switch insert 19 on the housing side.
  • the dimensions of the push-through opening 17 are selected such that after the second fastening screws 16 have been removed, the switch insert 19 can be removed from the housing 1 on the operator side.
  • a cover plate or in applications without a cover plate, a door frame, a panel or the like is designated.
