Definitions

  • the invention relates to a snap disk switch according to the preamble of the claim 1 with a domed snap disc, which is in the highest point the curvature arranged bead has a switching contact, which as a separate Contact element is formed, which is fixed in the bead.
  • Such snap disk switches are well known in the prior art and are used regularly in the field of keyboards.
  • the switch contact of the known snap disk switch is regularly a spherical curvature, which extends inwards in the radial direction of the snap disk.
  • the spherical Curvature is produced in that the snap disc in a corresponding molded press tool is inserted.
  • a snap disk switch is known from US-A-4,438,304 which a counter contact below and above the curvature of the snap disc is arranged. This ensures that the snap disk switch Has the function of a changeover switch. The one located at the highest point of the curvature Switch contact is riveted into the snap disk. In the field of riveting the snap disc is also curved
  • the switch contact is designed as a separate contact element, which is attached in the bead.
  • the separate, not with the snap disc one-piece design of the contact element it is advantageous possible to manufacture the contact element from a different material than that Snap disk.
  • the material of the snap disc can thus with regard to the Spring or snap action of the snap disk can be selected, whereas the material of the switch contact with regard to an optimal switching behavior can be selected.
  • switch contact is riveted onto the snap disk is. This attachment has proven to be very durable emphasized advantageous.
  • the bead is designed as a flat surface is. This creates a neutral zone for the mechanically attached switch contact created.
  • the formation of the bead as a flat surface results in a Interruption of the snap disc bending stress.
  • the attachment of the Switch contact is therefore free of material movements of the snap disk, which the attachment becomes very durable.
  • the Bead in the radial direction of the snap disc to the outside.
  • this affects favorable on the spring action of the snap disc.
  • a domed snap disc has 1 a bead 2 at the highest point of its curvature.
  • the bead 2 is as formed flat surface, which was produced by cold forming.
  • the Sikke 2 is thus delimited by an edge which is sharp-edged from the snap disc is bent away.
  • the edge could also be designed as a groove.
  • the bead 2 extends in the radial direction of the snap disc 1 to the outside.
  • the bead 2 has a separate contact element 3, which is in a radial Direction of the snap disc 1 extends inwards.
  • the contact element 3 is riveted into an opening in the bead 2.
  • the contact element 3 consists of silver materials or multi-layer materials, whereas the snap disc 1 a spring material, such as stainless steel, copper beryllium or spring bronze consists.
  • the snap disc 1 is partly half-shell-shaped because of its curvature Has course, so it is approximately star-shaped. hereby there are four mounting points 4, by means of which the snap disc 1 in one Switching element can be attached.
  • the snap disc 1 is in a snap element is attached, that in the installed state of the snap disc 1 compared to the contact element 3, another, similarly formed Contact element is arranged.
  • the conventional snap disk 1 "shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is not a separate one Contact element on.
  • the switch contact is through a spherical bead 2 " shown, which extends in the radial direction of the snap disc 1 "inwards. This makes it impossible to switch larger outputs.
