Abstract

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen elektrischen Tastschalter (1) mit mindestens einer kippbar gelagerten, auf mindestens ein Schaltkontaktelement (10) wirkenden Betätigungswippe (8), wobei die Betätigungswippe (8) mittelbar über einen wahlweise in einer von mindestens zwei verschiedenen Lagen montierbaren Schaltarm (14) auf das bzw. jedes Schaltkontaktelement (10) wirkt. Der Schaltarm (14) definiert einerseits zwei einander gegenüberliegende Anlageebenen (16, 17) zum wahlweisen, lageabhängigen Zusammenwirken mit dem jeweiligen Schaltkontatktelement (10) sowie andererseits zwei den Anlageebenen (16, 17) jeweils gegenüberliegende Verbindungsebenene (18, 19) zum wahlweisen, lageabhängigen Zusammenwirken mit der Betätigungswippe (8), wobei je nach Lage des Schaltarms (14) die jeweils auf das/jedes Schaltkontaktelement (10) wirkende Anlageebene (16 oder 17) jedenfalls im wesentlichen parallel zu einer Schalter-Basisebene (20) verläuft, während die jeweils gegenüberliegende, mit der Betätigungswippe (8) zusammenwirkende Verbindungsebene (18 oder 19) zu der Schalter-Basisebene (20) entweder ebenfalls im wesentlichen parallel oder in einem bestimmten Winkel (α) schräg verläuft.

Figure 00000001
The present invention relates to an electrical pushbutton switch (1) with at least one rocking actuating rocker (8) acting on at least one switch contact element (10), the rocker actuating (8) indirectly via a switch arm (14) which can be optionally mounted in one of at least two different positions ) acts on the or each switching contact element (10). The switching arm (14) defines on the one hand two mutually opposite contact levels (16, 17) for optional, position-dependent interaction with the respective switching contact element (10) and on the other hand two connection levels (18, 19) opposite the contact levels (16, 17) for optional, position-dependent Interacting with the actuating rocker (8), depending on the position of the switching arm (14), the contact plane (16 or 17) acting on the / each switching contact element (10) in any case essentially parallel to a switch base plane (20), while the each opposite, interacting with the actuating rocker (8) connecting plane (18 or 19) to the switch base plane (20) either also essentially parallel or obliquely at a certain angle (α).
