Abstract

Interrupteur électrique du type formé par une boíte avec un élément de base (1) et un couvercle (2) correspondant aptes à délimiter un siège pour le logement de deux contacts métalliques (4,4') où au moin un des deux est flexible et élastique et où arrivent les extremitées nues d'un fil (F) de la ligne électrique réliée à l'interrupteur, et par un bouton-poussoir à levier (3) lequel est pourvu d'un élément mâle à charnière cylindrique (30) soutenu par des correspondents sièges (10) de l'élément de base (1) et est destiné à commander la fermeture, respectivement l'ouverture, desdits contacts (4) au moyen d'une appendice à came (31) orientée vers l'élément de base (1), où ledit bouton-poussoir (3) et ledit couvercle (2) sont unis entre eux, sans solution de continuité, en correspondance d'au moin un point (K) au moyen d'un couche court en matériel de moulage: le bouton-poussoir (3) et le couvercle (2) étant séparables par auto-tranchage de la pièce de réliement au moment de la première utilisation ou essai de l'interrupteur, par effet de l'effort exercé sur celui-ci au moyen du respectif élément (30) du bouton-poussoir (3).

Figure 00000001
Electric switch of the type formed by a box with a basic element (1) and a corresponding cover (2) capable of delimiting a seat for housing two metal contacts (4,4 ') where at least one of the two is flexible and elastic and where arrive the bare ends of a wire (F) of the electric line connected to the switch, and by a push-button with lever (3) which is provided with a male element with cylindrical hinge (30) supported by corresponding seats (10) of the base element (1) and is intended to control the closing, respectively the opening, of said contacts (4) by means of a cam appendage (31) oriented towards the element base (1), where said push button (3) and said cover (2) are joined together, without a solution of continuity, in correspondence of at least one point (K) by means of a short layer of material molding: the push button (3) and the cover (2) being separable by self-slicing of the part d e connection at the time of the first use or test of the switch, by effect of the force exerted on it by means of the respective element (30) of the push button (3).
