Definitions

  • the present invention is based on one according to the preamble of the main claim designed electrical switches.
  • Such electrical switches are intended for one or several electrical circuit (s) by means of adjustment the switch contact parts or the switch contact part interrupt or close. Are for better handling such electrical switches via a holding device in the correct position in a section of a receiving body fixed. However, there is often a need for electrical Remove the switch from the receptacle.
  • EP-A-0 363 638 discloses an electrical switch with an at least one fixed contact part and an associated one Switch contact part housing, on which at least one in its switch positions the switch contact part influencing actuator movably mounted is, with the switch in the switch positions includes defining profile curve device which for Generation of actuation forces with a spring-loaded, the actuator associated with the pressure piece cooperates. Should such electrical switches again from the cutout of their Receiving body are often removed in advance Disassembly of a certain switch component and / or the A suitable tool is required. On the one hand is such a disassembly with considerable effort connected and on the other hand there is not always a suitable one Disassembly tools available.
  • the present invention has for its object a to provide electrical switches of the type mentioned in the introduction, the one without the use of a tool and without the previous disassembly of a certain switch module Need easily and simply again from the section of his Receiving body is removable.
  • the actuator concerned is two in Housing 1 stationary profile curve devices 2 assigned.
  • the profile curves of the two profile curve devices 2 act together with a spring-loaded pressure piece 3.
  • the housing 1 has a holding device which two locking elements 4 which are slidably guided in the housing 1 includes.
  • this is assigned to the holding device movably in the housing 1 mounted actuator as rotating, pulling and pushing movements transmitting combination shift knob 5 formed.
  • the combination shift knob 5 is located on an axis of rotation 6 Housing 1 stored. To achieve its various The combination shift knob 5 can be switched by a First turn into three different switching positions to be brought. Reached by pulling or pushing the combination shift knob 5 also three different ones Switching levels A, B, C. Each switching level A, B, C includes several by turning the combination shift knob 5 achievable switch positions. To generate the necessary Operating forces come the two pressure pieces 3 each under the action of a detent spring 7 to one of the profile curves the profile curve device 2 to the system. To accommodate the two catch springs 7 and the two pressure pieces 3 are two around Receiving chambers offset by 180 ° in the axis of rotation 6 available, so that the two pressure pieces 3 against the Spring force of the detent springs 7 are kept displaceable.
  • the pressure switch 2 becomes the combination shift knob 5 defined in its various switching positions different switching levels A, B, C. Also includes each of the two profile curve devices 2 has an area X, through which the increased effort is realized to overcome when operating the combination shift knob 5 applies, the holding device should be in its unlocked position to be brought.
  • the area X is designed so that for the user striking increase in force is felt when pressed. Of the Power increase is so high that the combination shift knob 5 is only brought into its functional position if this is deliberately evoked. It is necessary that the Combination shift knob 5 first by pushing in brought the lowest switching level C and then around his Rotation axis 6 is rotated. The necessary rotary motion is doing the rotation opposite to that in the lowest switching level C the switching positions can be reached. Only when the combination shift knob 5 through the prescribed combination of movements and by overcoming the excessive effort in its functional position is located, the locking elements 4 of the holding device in the Unlocked position. Only if the combination shift knob 5 against the force occurring in its functional position the electrical switch can be held easily and simply removed from the cutout of its body will. When the combination shift knob 5 is released, sweep the locking elements 4 of the holding device automatically into the Lock position back.
  • the two locking elements 4 of the holding device are slider-like and each against the spring force an associated helical compression spring 8 slidably in Housing held. Due to the slide-like design of the Locking elements 4, the electrical switch is safe in its Held receiving body, the holding device is located in their locking position. With a simple pull the electrical switch cannot come out of the receiving body be removed because the locking elements 4 behind corresponding Grip the locking edges of the receiving body. To each of the two Locking elements 4, an actuating lug 9 is formed, which for Moving the locking elements 4 made of plastic cooperates with the transmission device.
  • the transmission device is in one piece to the Holding device facing the bottom of the plastic Combination shift knob 5 formed.
  • the Pot-like underside of the combination shift knob 5 is for Formation of the transmission device by two, one each Paragraph 10 forming steps in the direction of the locking elements 4th expanded.
  • the locking elements 4 are actuated in each case a heel edge of the two paragraphs 10 to an actuating nose 9 of a locking element 4 to the system.
  • Will the Combination shift knob 5 brought into its functional position press the heel edges of the heels 10 by the rotary movement of the combination shift knob 5 counter the locking elements 4 the force of the helical compression spring 8 back into the housing 1.
  • the locking elements 4 give the way to remove the electrical switch from its not in the drawing shown receiving body free.
  • the shoulders 10 formed on the transmission device have one for this purpose in relation to the direction of adjustment the transmission device is inclined Operating area. These come to the adjustment of the Locking elements 4 at an angle to the direction of displacement two locking elements 4 extending edge to the system.
  • a Flank is in each case on an actuating lug 9 of the two Locking elements 4 formed.
