  • the cladding profiles also with markings for Printing is the representation of the setting and device parameters the facing profiles with the corresponding markings are quite expensive, because each of the veneer profiles has to be printed individually.
  • the markings are illuminated in order to provide them for an operator to make it easier to identify, especially in the case of materials made from metallic materials Facing profiles extremely complex.
  • plastic veneers the Illumination of the markings by choosing a translucent material simpler, but for reasons of stiffness it is too thick Dimensioning plastic veneer is relatively difficult with a pleasing one Integrate design into the cover.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a push button arrangement for to provide a refrigeration device, which compared to the prior art with simple constructive measures is improved.
  • the measure according to the invention supports the over the Force storage on the push button for the precise position of the force initiated exclusively on the components that are statically sufficiently dimensioned from the start, namely the push button on the one hand and the cover on the other hand, so that from one Cover housing cladding on the front side must not absorb any forces.
  • the Cover and the push button provided as a pre-assembled unit and as Assembly can be obtained from a supplier company because the veneer profile with the device-specific setting markings on it no longer must necessarily be part of the pre-assembled assembly, but from Refrigeration device manufacturers in an advanced stage of the device Manufacturing process can be attached to the refrigerator.
  • the diaphragm is designed like a film.
  • Such an aperture can be produced inexpensively and, if necessary, even Form translucent in the corresponding device setting markings.
  • the device setting markings are particularly easy for an operator display and identify if next preferred Embodiment of the subject matter of the invention is provided that the aperture translucent.
  • the diaphragm is particularly advantageous if, according to another preferred Embodiment of the subject of the invention is provided that the aperture Device setting markings is printed.
  • the means are designed as locking hooks, which with Projections on the push button and / or the cover form-fitting are able to work together.
  • At least two latching hooks are provided, which at least are arranged approximately opposite one another.
  • Such a measure is not only an inclination of the Lifted pressures avoided push button, but also achieved that the push button does not change in its starting position determined by the spring force canted and thus guarantees smooth operation when the push button is pressed is.
  • connection is particularly simple in terms of construction and manufacturing technology between the push button and the cover if after a next beneficial Embodiment of the object of the invention is provided that the latching hook are arranged on the push button and each with a projection on the cover interact positively.
  • the projections are particularly easy to manufacture if after another preferred embodiment of the object of the invention is provided that the Projections are provided on the cup walls of the receptacle.
  • the protrusions on the hood-like are particularly robust and easily accessible Cover if according to a next preferred embodiment of the item the invention provides that the projections on the walls of the receptacle arranged outside of the space bounded by this and over in the floor of the Provided through openings are accessible, which feed slopes are upstream, along which the locking hooks are fed to the passage openings.
  • the receptacle has shoulders projecting into its bowl space in steps, which as depth stops for the displacement of the push button in the recording serve.
  • the limit of displacement for the push button ensures that the for example, pressure switches mounted on a printed circuit board as a result of one excessive force applied to the push button is not damaged.
  • the push button with a Energy storage serving leaf spring is provided, which is on the bottom wall of the Recording supports.
  • the assignment of the leaf spring to the push button Installation process of the push button to the recording significantly simplified.
  • the push button is made of plastic injection molding, on which the Leaf spring is integrally molded.
  • Such a design of the push button is not only special Can be produced inexpensively, but especially because of the reduction in parts easy to assemble.
