Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a name bearing plate, provided with quick locking means for locking the outer push-buttons associated with said plate.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing a name bearing plate with locking means for quickly locking outer push-buttons associated with said plate, which allows to make, on a brass name bearing plate element, a snap type of coupling for connecting an outer push-button, without using tools or the like.
  • a main object of the present invention is to provide such a name bearing plate which allows to perform electrically insulating operations in a very simple manner, thereby solving all of the related problems.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide such a name bearing plate which, owing to its specifically designed construction, is very reliable and safe in operation.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a name bearing plate, including locking means for quickly locking outer push-buttons associated with said plate, which can be easily made starting from easily commercially available elements and materials and which, moreover, is very competitive from a mere economic standpoint.
  • a name bearing plate provided with quick locking means for quickly locking outer push-buttons associated with said plate, comprising a plate element having a plurality of windows for receiving corresponding name bearing glass elements adjoining holes for receiving said push-buttons, characterized in that each of said name bearing glass elements defines quick coupling means for locking the body of one of said push-buttons.
  • the name bearing plate including quick locking means for quickly locking outer push-buttons associated with said plate, according to the present invention, which has been generally indicated by the reference number 1, comprises a brass plate 2, which is provided with a plurality of windows or throughgoing openings 3, which can be arranged in a by-pair adjoining relationship, or which can be individual and overlaid one on the other.
  • a name bearing small glass element generally indicated by the reference number 10, which can be either of a double type, as is shown in figures 3 to 5 or of a single or individual type, as is shown in figures 6 and 7.
  • Each name bearing glass element defines an enlarged thickness region 11 engaging inside the windows 3 and being provided with longitudinally extending side edge portions 12 provided with coupling tooth elements 13, for allowing name sheet restraining or holding elements 15 to be engaged therein, each said name sheet holding element being provided with fins or tabs 16 adapted to be engaged between said tooth element 13 for allowing said name bearing sheet holding element to be easily applied and removed.
  • Adjoining the windows 3 are provided a plurality of holes, indicated by the reference number 18, in which can be engaged push-buttons, generally indicated by the reference number 20.
  • each push-button 20 is provided with a hollow push-button body 21, in the inside of which is provided a slider element 22, also made of a brass material, which is coupled to an end portion of a pin 23, provided, on end arm elements 24 thereof, with a ring-like enlarged portion 25, adapted to be snap engaged in an annular groove 26 formed on the slider element.
  • a slider element 22 also made of a brass material, which is coupled to an end portion of a pin 23, provided, on end arm elements 24 thereof, with a ring-like enlarged portion 25, adapted to be snap engaged in an annular groove 26 formed on the slider element.
  • a spring 27 Between each push-button and the inside bottom portion of the push-button 20, is arranged a spring 27.
  • the push-button body 20 is provided, on the outer surface thereof, with a cut-out 30, delimited by an abutment 31.
  • quick connecting means can be easily engaged, said quick connecting means being defined by said small glass element 10 and comprising resilient tabs 35, engaging in the cut-out portion 30 and abutting against the abutment 31, thereby allowing the push-button 20 to be quickly and simply locked inside the plate 2.
  • the push-button is connected by simply engaging the body of the push-button inside the tabs 35, which in turn engage in the cut-out portion or groove 30, thereby providing a quick locking operation.
  • the push-button can be easily assembled, since the push-button pin is coupled to the slider element by a simple pressing operation, which causes the arms 23 to be bent, thereby causing the enlarged portion 25 to be engaged in the groove 26 of the slider element, which enlarged portion 25 is defined, as shown, at the end portions of the arms of the push-button pin.
  • the used materials provided that they are compatible to the intended use, as well as the contingent size and shapes, can be any, depending on requirements.
