Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrical push button switch with an operating rocker, that has a title block.
- the key switch can be part of a key arrangement be with several such push buttons.
- Button arrangements with inscribable, strip-shaped control surfaces are preferred so e.g. mounted on a wall so that the characters run horizontally, the actuating rocker pivots about a vertical axis. They are orders known, in which a frame that surrounds several buttons, a title block carries, or where the pushbuttons all over or on partial areas of the text fields to have. Such button arrangements are particularly electronic for operation Installation devices used. Button arrangements with inscribable rockers are known for example from G 93 05 822 and G 94 06 434.
- buttons that a label is only available Ambient light is legible because there is no self-illumination.
- the invention has for its object to provide an electrical push button switch, the rocker is provided with an illuminated text field and with a largely uniform backlighting of the text field.
- This button is achieved by means of a fiber optic wedge, that despite almost punctiform light introduction by a light-emitting diode LED a largely uniform backlighting of the entire text field is given.
- a status display is also proposed as an advantageous embodiment to create by means of a further light-emitting diode LED, the light of which means a light guide element is guided to the rocker surface, and also one To provide a separator on the bottom of the rocker, with which a mutual influence the lighting equipment is avoided.
- Fig. 1 shows a button arrangement 26 with three electrical push buttons 10, wherein their respective actuation rockers 3 are essentially visible from the buttons 10 are.
- the rockers 3 are in a base 8 by locking means 24, 25 and spring means 13 held in a rest position.
- the base 8 is more common Base for all buttons 10 of the arrangement 26.
- Each button 10 has a text field 11 and a status display 19.
- With reference numeral 27 is an infrared transparent front cover of the base 8 referred to, but related is not important with the invention. A protrudes through the cover 27 Operating button 20 of a pressure sequence switch or pushbutton, with which the lighting means, so let the LEDs 4 switch.
- the writing fields 11 are each through an incision or shaft 21 of the rockers 3 formed, which can be covered by a transparent cover 1.
- the strip-shaped covers 1 are each at their ends with locking elements 17, 18 provided.
- a light guide wedge 2 can be inserted in each of the incisions 21.
- buttons 10 there is a light guide wedge 2 inserted.
- the cover 1 is in the middle button 10 with its first locking element 17 hooked into the rocker 3.
- a transparent label Insert 12 e.g. a translucent film is shown, which is arranged under the cover 1 is.
- the cover 1 is indicated by folding it down Arrow direction closed, being at its second end by means of the second Snap element 18 snaps into rocker 3.
- the covers 1 can be used as a magnifying glass be designed to improve the readability of one located on the insert 12 Font.
- reference numerals 22, 23 are reflective coatings of the light guide wedge 2 referred to, applied with the recess of the light entry and exit surfaces 14, 16 can be. By such a measure, the brightness on the Increase light exit surface 16.
- Fig. 2 shows a section through the key switch 10 at a point where the Labeling field 11 of the rocker 3 is located.
- the base 8 and the rocker 3 are plastic parts.
- the rocker 3 is with the help of Locking means 24, 25 hooked into the base and is spring-loaded in two Contact elements 13, in particular microswitches is generated in the rest position held.
- a circuit board 9 is arranged on which the contact elements 13, as well as the first LED 4 for lettering field lighting and a second LED 5 for Status display, i.e. are arranged to display a switching status.
- the contact elements 13 are actuated via actuation cams 30 on the rocker 3.
- the first LED 4 feeds light into the light entry surface 14 of the light guide wedge 2, that emerges at the exit surface 16 and backlit the transparent insert 12.
- the second LED 5 feeds light into a light guide element 6, which is on the surface the rocker 3 emerges as a status display 19.
- a separator 7 at the bottom of the Rocker 3 prevents the passage of light from the lettering field lighting to the status display. It can be seen that the light guides 2, 6 are spaced somewhat apart from the LEDs 4, 5 are, which enables a rocker movement.
- pin 28 and a multiple plug 29 is the key switch 10, or the button arrangement 26 (Fig. 1) attachable to a flush-mounted device, not shown.
