Bei Kühl- und Gefriergeräten ist es Stand der Technik, dass über deren Türen sogenannte Vorsatzgehäuse in Form von haubenähnlichen Abdeckungen zur Unterbringung von Anzeigeelementen oder mit elektronischen Bauteilen bestückte Leiterplatten angeordnet sind, auf denen dann üblicherweise ein als Geräteschalter dienender Druckschalter festgesetzt ist, welcher über eine aus der Abdeckung herausgeführte und einer Bedienperson zugängliche Drucktaste betätigbar ist. Die Drucktaste ist in einer an der Abdeckung vorgesehenen Aufnahme gelagert und durch eine Feder in eine definierte Bedienposition gedrückt, wobei die von der Feder auf die Drucktaste ausgeübte Kraft von einer an der Frontseite der Abdeckung vorgesehenen und die Aufnahme abdeckende Verblendung abgefangen ist, durch welche die Drucktaste über einen Durchbruch hindurchgeführt ist. Um die auf die Drucktaste mittels einer Feder ausgeübte Kraft durch die Blende abfangen zu können, ist diese letztlich entweder durch ihre Gestaltung oder durch die Werkstoffe entsprechend formsteif auszubilden. Die nötige Biegesteifigkeit für die Blende wurde bei den bekannten Ausführungsformen entweder durch ein metallisches Verkleidungsprofil oder durch ein Kunststoffprofil mit entsprechender Materialstärke erreicht. Für den Fall, dass die Verkleidungsprofile zudem mit Markierungen zur Darstellung der Einstell- und Geräteparameter versehen werden sollen, ist das Bedrucken der Verblendungsprofile mit den entsprechenden Markierungen ziemlich kostenträchtig, da jedes der Verblendungsprofile im Einzelverfahren bedruckt werden muss. Darüber hinaus gestaltet sich eine Beleuchtung der Markierungen, um diese für eine Bedienperson besser kenntlich zu machen, insbesondere bei aus metallischen Werkstoffen hergestellten Verblendungsprofilen äußerst aufwendig. Bei Kunststoffverblendungen gestaltet sich die Beleuchtung der Markierungen durch die Wahl eines durchscheinenden Werkstoffes zwar einfacher, jedoch ist die aus Steifigkeitsgründen mit einer relativ hoher Materialstärke zu dimensionierende Kunststoffverblendung nur relativ schwierig mit einem gefälligem Design in die Abdeckung zu integrieren. Neben diesem Stand der Technik sind aus dem Patent Abstract of Japan 08083530; der EP-A-0796753 und der EP-A-0856861 Anordnungen mit integrierten Drucktasten zur Bedienung eines elektrischen Schalters bekannt. Diesen Anordnungen ist gemeinsam, dass die von einer Feder auf die Drucktaste ausgeübte Kraft am Gehäuse der Drucktastenanordnung abgefangen ist. Keine der aus diesem Stand der Technik bekannten Drucktastenanordnungen zeigt jedoch eine Blende, die zur Abdeckung der die Drucktaste beinhaltenden Aufnahme dient.With refrigerators and freezers it is state of the art that so-called through their doors Front housing in the form of hood-like covers for accommodating Display elements or printed circuit boards equipped with electronic components are on which then usually serves as a device switch pressure switch is fixed, which one led out of the cover and one Operator accessible push button is actuated. The push button is in one on the Cover provided storage and stored by a spring in a defined Operating position pressed, the force exerted by the spring on the push button one provided on the front of the cover and covering the receptacle Facing is intercepted by which the push button over a breakthrough is passed through. To apply the force exerted on the push button by means of a spring The ability to intercept the panel is ultimately either by its design or to be dimensionally stable through the materials. The necessary bending stiffness for the aperture was in the known embodiments either by a metallic Cladding profile or through a plastic profile with appropriate material thickness reached. In the event that 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. About that In addition, 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. For 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. In addition to this state of the art Patent Abstract of Japan 08083530; EP-A-0796753 and EP-A-0856861 Arrangements with integrated push buttons for operating an electrical switch known. These arrangements have in common that the one spring on the Pushbutton force exerted on the housing of the pushbutton arrangement is intercepted. No however, the push button arrangement known from this prior art shows one Aperture that serves to cover the receptacle containing the pushbutton.

Hierdurch ergibt sich für diese Verblendung die Möglichkeit, diese beispielsweise aus kostengünstig zu bedruckendem Folienmaterial herzustellen. Darüber hinaus ist die Drucktaste nach ihrem Einfügevorgang in die Aufnahme der Abdeckung ohne zusätzliche Maßnahmen bereits an dieser fixiert. Des weiteren ergibt sich der Vorteil, dass die Abdeckung und die Drucktaste als vormontierte Baueinheit bereitgestellt und als Baugruppe von einer Zuliefererfirma bezogen werden kann, da das Verblendungsprofil mit den darauf aufgebrachten gerätespezifischen Einstellmarkierungen nicht mehr notwendigerweise Bestandteil der vormontierten Baugruppe sein muss, sondern vom Kältegeräthersteller gerätespezifisch in einem fortgeschrittenen Stadium des Fertigungsverfahrens am Kältegerät angebracht werden kann. 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. This results in the possibility of this veneer, for example, from to produce inexpensive to print film material. In addition, the Pushbutton after its insertion in the cover without additional Measures already fixed on this. Furthermore, there is the advantage that 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.

Der Napfraum 18 der Aufnahme 17 dient zur Einbringung eines Drucktasters 27, welcher
ein im wesentlichen in Form eines Kreiszylinders ausgebildetes Bedienteil 28 aufweist,
welches mit einer seiner Stirnseiten bezüglich der Frontwand 15 übersteht und an dieser
Stimseite mit einer zur Bedienung des Drucktasters 27 dienenden linsenförmig geformten
Abdeckung 29 versehen ist. Gegenüber der Abdeckung 29 weist das Bedienteil 28 an
seinem anderen freien Ende zwei einander gegenüberliegende, den mit den Absätzen 23
ausgestatteten Napfwänden 22 zugewandte Ausleger 30 auf. Diese sind im Nahbereich
ihres freien Randes, an ihrer dem Napfboden 19 zugewandten Unterseite mit federnden
Rasthaken 31 ausgestattet, welche im Einbauzustand des Drucktasters 27 in der
Aufnahme 17 die in dessen Napfboden 19 vorgesehenen Durchtrittsöffnungen 21
durchdringen und mit ihrem parallel zum Napfboden 19 verlaufenden Hakenabschnitt die
Vorsprünge 26 hintergreifen. Ferner ist an der Unterseite eines jeden Auslegers 30 eine
Blattfeder 32 festgesetzt, welche sich mit ihrem freien Ende im Einbauzustand des
Drucktasters 27 unter Vorspannung an der dem Bedienteil 28 zugewandten Innenseite
des Napfbodens 19 abstützt (siehe hierzu Fig. 2). Das Bedienteil 28 ist femer mit einer
Betätigungshülse 33 ausgestattet, welche konzentrisch innerhalb des Bedienteiles 28
angeordnet ist und mit ihrem freien Ende gegenüber dem Bedienteil 28 vorspringt Das
vorspringende Ende der Betätigungshülse 33 durchdringt den Durchbruch 20 im
Napfboden 19 und steht mit dem Druckstößel des Druckschalters 13 in Eingriff. Das
Bedienteil 28 durchdringt eine in einer folienartigen, gegebenenfalls durchscheinend
ausgebildeten und mit Geräteeinstellmarkierungen bedruckten Blende 34 eingebrachte
Öffnung 35 und sitzt innerhalb des Aufnahmebereiches 16, wobei die Öffnung 35
zumindest weitestgehend auf den Durchmesser des Bedienteiles 28 abgestimmt ist Das
durch die Öffnung 35 hindurchtretende Bedienteil 28 steht mit der zu seiner Bedienung
dienenden Abdeckung 29 gegenüber der die frontseitig offene Aufnahme 17 abdeckende
Blende 34 über. Durch die vor der Montage der Blende 34 frontseitig offene Aufnahme 17
läßt sich die Drucktaste 27 auch noch nach der bereits erfolgten Montage der Leiterplatte
12 in die Aufnahme 17 einfügen. Das positionsrichtige Einsetzen der Drucktaste 27 in der
Aufnahme 17 ist durch die Ausleger 30 der ersteren bestimmt, welche mit ihren freien, von
der Betätigungshülse 33 abgewandten Enden entlang der Innenseiten der mit den
Absätzen 23 ausgestatteten Napfwände 22 zu gleiten vermögen. Beim Einsetzvorgang
der Drucktaste 27 in die Aufnahme 19 werden die Rasthaken 31 über die Zuführschrägen
25 den Durchtrittsöffnungen 21 zugeführt und durchdringen diese, bevor sie mit ihren
parallel zu den Auslegern 30 verlaufenden Abschnitten an den Vorsprüngen 26 verrasten.
In dieser Rastposition üben die sich am Napfboden 19 unter Vorspannung abstützenden
Blattfedern 32 eine Vorspannkraft auf die mittels ihrer Rasthaken 31 an der Abdeckung 10
verrasteten Drucktaste 27 aus. Der Betätigungshub der Drucktaste 27 ist durch das
Zusammenwirken der Anschlagfläche 24 mit der ihr zugewandten Unterseite an den
Auslegern 30 begrenzt, wodurch die von einer Bedienperson über die Drucktaste 27 auf
den Druckschalter 13 ausübbare Kraft limitiert ist und somit eine Beschädigung des
Druckschalters 13 vermieden ist.The
