Definitions
- the present invention relates to a thermal protection switch with free release.
- Thermal protection switches are known and in use, which with a snap disc thermostat, its bimetal disc a transfer pin protruding therefrom with snap action actuated, which on the one hand a bridge contact controls in a conductor connecting two connections and on the other hand with a mechanical reset in shape a push button interacts, such that under itself The effect of temperature on the open bridge contact Depress the push button while resetting the bimetal disc is recoverable.
- thermal circuit breakers are used everywhere where overheating protection is necessary or desirable in the smallest space is, e.g. for cable drums, electrical devices, Heaters, heat exchangers etc.
- thermal circuit breakers speak to a predetermined temperature from a snap-action bimetallic disc is determined.
- the bimetallic disc will move mechanically through a cooperating transmission pin transferred to a bridge contact so that the circuit to interrupt.
- the restart is done manually by actuating a free release designed as a push button.
- This push button can be in certain embodiments two different positions, namely when closed Contact bridge in depressed position, with open Contact bridge in the extended position, so the operating position visually display.
- the push buttons are in usually so small that the display no longer gives me security can be determined correctly.
- the position of the push button outside the actuation phase always constant, so that an advertisement is omitted.
- the object of the present invention is now the optical display the operating position of the thermal protection switch with if possible to improve simple means.
- This task is the beginning of a thermal circuit breaker defined type according to the invention by the features according to characterizing part of claim 1, namely by a Illuminated display in the push button when the circuit breaker has tripped.
- a so-called snap disc thermostat in the lower part provided in which a screw bolt 1 of the attachment in a possibly heating apparatus part (not shown) serves.
- a bimetallic disc 2 is accommodated directly above the bolt 1, which after at a predetermined temperature snapped up.
- a transmission pin 3 lies over the disc 2. It will move upwards when the window 2 is snapped and thereby the contact bridge 4, which is normally through a spring 5 against contacts in a connecting the connections 6, 6 ' Head is pressed, lift up and make the connection interrupt between connections 6, 6 '.
- the thermal protection switch is triggered.
- the transmission pin 3 protrudes upwards into a reset device 7 which is mounted on the thermostat (e.g. snapped on) is and becomes a when actuated (upward movement) Ball 8 to bear against a hollow cylinder Apply reset pushbutton 9.
- the button 9 by a spring 10 against an upper limit of Reset housing 11 pressed.
- a light source in the form of a light emitting diode 12 with in series Resistor 13 housed.
- the light emitting diode 12 with resistance is via a separate conductor 12 'and contact pieces 14 continuously with the two connections 6, 6 'connected. Thanks to the resistor 13 but in normal operation no current flow which causes the diode 12 to glow would bring.
- the thermal protection switch is triggered and is indicated by the light source 12.
- the wall of the button 9 is translucent (the Button 9 is e.g. made of red colored, transparent plastic), so that the button 9 lights up visually, as soon as the thermal protection switch is triggered.
- the LED 12 with resistor 13 is easy to assemble (e.g. by pinching in the button cavity). It just has to be for a secure connection of the contact support 14 to the connections 6, 6 'or their mutual connection.

Claims (4)
- Thermoschutzschalter mit Freiauslösung, mit einem Schnappscheiben-Thermostat, dessen Bimetallscheibe mit Schnappwirkung einen davon wegragenden Übertragungsstift betätigt, welcher einerseits einen Brückenkontakt in einem zwei Anschlüsse miteinander verbindenden Leiter steuert und andererseits mit einem mechanischen Rücksteller in Form eines Druckknopfes zusammenwirkt, derart, dass nach sich unter Temperatureinwirkung geöffnetem Brückenkontakt dieser durch Niederdrücken des Druckknopfes unter Rückstellung der Bimetallscheibe wiederherstellbar ist, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der als Hohlzylinder ausgebildete Druckknopf mindestens stellenweise lichtdurchlässig ist und in seinem Innenraum eine über einen separaten Leiter zwischen die beiden Anschlüsse geschaltete Lichtquelle untergebracht ist, welche mit einem strombegrenzenden Widerstand versehen ist, derart, dass im Normalbetrieb, d.h. bei geschlossenem Brückenkontakt, die Lichtquelle nicht aufleuchtet, diese jedoch bei geöffnetem Brückenkontakt aufleuchtet.
- Thermoschutzschalter nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass im Hohlzylinder eine Lichtquelle untergebracht ist, welche über einen in Serie geschalteten Widerstand zwischen die beiden Anschlüsse geschaltet ist.
- Thermoschutzschalter nach Anspruch 1 oder 2, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Lichtquelle eine Leuchtdiode ist.
- Thermoschutzschalter nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 3, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der in einem Gehäuse untergebrachte Freiauslöser mit der in seinem Druckknopf untergebrachten Lichtquelle auf das Gehäuse des Schnappscheiben-Thermostaten aufgesetzt, z.B. aufgeschnappt ist.
