Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rocker button arrangement for the actuation of electric tip switches according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • Such a rocker button arrangement can serve as a multifunction button in a car radio, for example.
  • a forward / backward movement of a tape can be effected with a right / left actuation, while the volume level can be adjusted with an up / down actuation.
  • the quadruple rocker is spring-mounted in such a way that it can be actuated in its diagonal sectors with almost the same amount of force as in the sectors provided for the desired switching functions. This can easily lead to an unwanted simultaneous triggering of two functions.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a rocker button arrangement with a quadruple rocker with which an unwanted simultaneous triggering of two switching functions can be largely prevented.
  • the tip switch can be arranged in an advantageous manner on a circuit board in the device.
  • Advantageous embodiments of the rocker button according to claims 3 and 4 allow different configurations of the rocker button front wall with respect to its operating surface and / or its pin having contact surfaces.
  • An embodiment of the rocker button according to claim 5 enables inexpensive manufacture.
  • By designing the cross-shaped center piece according to claim 6, the force required for undesired actuation via the diagonals of the rocker button is advantageously increased.
  • An embodiment of the rocker button according to claim 7 enables lighting of symbols provided in the control surface in a particularly advantageous manner.
  • a first molded part 1 a which is made of an elastic plastic in injection molding technology, consists essentially of a rectangular frame 2, a cross-shaped central piece 3 and two holding parts 4, 5 that can be fastened to an electronic device.
  • the arms 6, 7, 8, 9 that can be subjected to torsion of the center piece 3 arranged in a plane parallel to the operating surface 10 in the frame 2 are connected on the one hand to two opposite walls 11, 12 of the frame 2 and on the other hand to one of two opposite holding parts 4, 5.
  • the walls 11, 12 connected to the arms 6, 7 protrude into the interior of the frame 2 in a U-shaped manner such that their U-legs form windows 13, 14 together with the outer walls of the frame 2.
  • the holding parts 4, 5 also project into the interior of the frame with their walls 15, 16 connected to the arms 8, 9, so that cutouts 17, 18 result.
  • the arms 6, 7, 8, 9 of the middle piece 3 are designed as flat webs, each of which has a reinforcement 19, 20 which is circular in profile and defines its torsion axis.
  • the holding parts 4, 5 are with provided cylindrical approaches, which have holes 21 and locking lugs 22 provided as fastening means.
  • a second molded part 1b which has the control surface 10 and is made of a light-conducting plastic and which can be clipped together with the first molded part 1a to form a rocker button 1 in a manner known per se, essentially consists of a rocker button front wall 23, which on its rear side is on the one key center line 24 has oppositely arranged first pins 25, 26 and on the other key center line 27 oppositely arranged second pins 28, 29.
  • the ends of the pins 25, 26, 28, 29 serve as contact surfaces 30, 31, 32, 33 for actuating switching plungers of electrical tip switches.
  • the pins 25, 26, 28, 29 serve as light guides for illuminating symbols 34, 35 provided in the operating surface 10.
  • the rocker button 1 fastened to a device by means of the holding parts 4, 5 When the rocker button 1 fastened to a device by means of the holding parts 4, 5 is actuated, it can be pivoted about the one torsion axis as well as about the other torsion axis of the center piece 3 perpendicular to it by a predetermined amount relative to the holding parts 4, 5.
  • the required operating force increases, which in this case must overcome the amounts of the torsional forces and the bending forces of the center piece 3.
  • the desired swivel directions are thus specified.
