Definitions

  • the invention relates to a push button for latching and key function according to the preamble of claim 1 and is used to actuate at least one contact element.
  • a generic push button which consists of a hollow cylindrical housing and a longitudinally displaceable and non-rotatably guided switching tappet.
  • the switch plunger is acted upon by a helical compression spring in the direction of rest, including stop lugs on the switch plunger and corresponding stop surfaces are provided on the housing.
  • a helical compression spring in the direction of rest, including stop lugs on the switch plunger and corresponding stop surfaces are provided on the housing.
  • an approximately heart-shaped detent gate and parallel to and separated from this one substantially in the direction of actuation extending longitudinal groove are embedded.
  • wire-shaped spring element is mounted, whose bent free end is formed as a guide pin.
  • the guide pin extends in the detent gate or in the longitudinal groove and can be implemented by means of a pointed tool which engages through an access opening in the housing, from the detent gate into the longitudinal groove or vice versa.
  • the disadvantage is the complex storage and the additional spring means claiming and thus space-consuming design of the spring element.
  • the implementation of the guide pin is weldable and its actual situation can only be recognized by a very close look.
  • a luminous button with locking function of the company Moeller GmbH with the type designation RLTR is known, in which the heart-shaped detent gate is embedded in the inner wall of the housing and the engaging in the detent guide pin protrudes outward from an open metal ring which is mounted on the switch plunger ,
  • the housing is equipped with two opposing detent gates and the spring ring with two opposing guide pins.
  • a generic push button US-A-5 262 606 for tactile and locking function consists of a hollow cylindrical housing, a longitudinally displaceable and non-rotatably guided switch plunger, spring means and stop means for taking the rest position, an approximately heart-shaped detent gate for the detent function, a parallel thereto and extending to the direction of actuation longitudinal groove for the tactile function and a guide pin which can be implemented by means of a cross into an access opening of the housing tool from the detent gate into the longitudinal groove or vice versa, wherein the detent gate and the longitudinal groove on the inner wall of the housing.
  • FR-A-2 373 863 shows a push button for latching function with two formed in the switch plunger, approximately heart-shaped detent gates and in the inner wall of the hollow cylindrical housing rotatably mounted in the ring element, which engages with guide pins radially inwardly into the detent gates.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a push-button for locking and Tastfunktion with simple and space-saving mounting of the guide pin and easily carried out and recognizable conversion of the type of function.
  • the detent gate and the longitudinal groove on the inner wall of the housing and the guide pin as part of the ring member no additional space compared to a push button, which is equipped exclusively with locking function or tactile function claimed.
  • the open ring element is suitable, easily latched during assembly in a corresponding annular groove on the switch plunger and then stored there easily displaced.
  • the outwardly facing guide pin can be easily moved clockwise or counterclockwise with a suitable pointed tool, with the respective end position of the guide pin, which is clearly visible through the access opening, clearly indicating the type of function of the pushbutton.
  • a connecting link and the longitudinal groove approximately at half height connecting cross-connection allows only in half depressed position of the pushbutton deliberate changeover of the guide pin, whereas in the two end positions a deliberate or caused by vibrations or shocks unintentional adjustment is excluded.
  • the cross-connection is simultaneously formed as an access opening.
  • An expedient development consists in the front side expiring training of the detent gate and / or the longitudinal groove to the guide pin to gain easy access to the detent gate or the longitudinal groove during assembly of the push buttons.
  • An opposite arrangement of the responsible for the locking and sensing function guide elements is the reliable operation of the push button.
  • the push-button 2 for latching and tactile function consists essentially of a hollow cylindrical housing 4 and a longitudinally displaceable and non-rotatably guided switch plunger 6.
  • the switch plunger 6 is provided on the front side with an actuating element 8, which can be illuminated at the back by a light source, not shown.
  • a likewise not shown helical compression spring which is placed around the lower part 10 of the switch plunger 6 and which is supported between a rearwardly facing annular surface 12 at the central part of the switch plunger 6 and a forward facing part annular surface 14 of the housing 4, the switch plunger 6 forward, ie against the actuating direction 16, applied.
  • the reference numeral 22 is a Designates external thread on which an assembly nut can be screwed from behind onto the housing 4.
  • the switching plunger 6 is held in the housing 4 by a snap-on front ring 23.
  • the substantially cylindrical inner wall 24 of the housing 4 is provided with two diametrically opposite recesses 26, of which in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, only the rear can be seen.
  • Each of these recesses 26 consists of an approximately heart-shaped detent gate 28, a parallel to this and in the direction of actuation 16 extending longitudinal groove 30 and a detent gate 28 and the longitudinal groove 30 approximately in their middle height connecting cross-connection 32.
  • the detent gate 28 orbits an approximately inverted heart-shaped island 34.
  • the detent gate 28 and the longitudinal groove 30 run to the front in an inner rounding 36 of the housing 4 and are separated below this point by a tongue-shaped web 38.
  • an open ring member 42 is mounted so that it can be rotated easily.
  • Two diametrically opposite guide pins 44 are formed on the ring element 42, of which in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 only the front can be seen.
  • the guide pins 44 slide either within the detent gates 28 or within the longitudinal groove 30 along.
  • the push button 2 works detent, wherein in the depressed position, the respective guide pin 44 snaps below the reverse heart-shaped island 34.
  • the push button 2 works groping. At least on one side of the guide pin 44 is visible through a recessed in the housing 4 access opening 46 at half pressed switch plunger 6, as can be seen in Fig. 1.
  • the guide pin 44 can be displaced in the counterclockwise direction with the aid of a suitable tool reaching through the access opening 46.
  • the guide pins 44 slide along the transverse connection 32 in order to pass from the detent gate 28 into the longitudinal groove 30 or vice versa.
  • the cross-connection 32 eliminates the formation of the access opening 46 at the same location, the rear wall.
