  • a hollow rod 5 which is designed substantially as a circular cylindrical in cross-section pipe which passes through the lid 2 and below a rectangular Rohrendteil 6 has, which is fixed in the housing 1 and whose Israeleckberger is slightly larger than that Diameter of the adjacent part of the hollow rod 5.
  • a shoulder 7 is formed due to the larger rectangle dimension.
  • the hollow rod 5 is encapsulated with a casting resin 8 introduced into the housing 1, which encompasses the shoulder 7.
  • the G confuseharzverguss 8 is designed so that it complies with the standard requirements of explosion protection. Corresponds to DIN EN 50014/18/19.
  • a pressure piece 10 is axially displaceably mounted, in such a way that between the inner surface of the end portion 9 and the outer surface of the pressure piece 10 a standard explosion protection gap 11 gem. DIN EN 50014/18 is formed.
  • the pressure piece 10 has projections 12 which come to rest on a stop 13 formed by the cross-sectional constriction of the end region 9. At the side remote from the projections 12, the pressure piece 10 is closed by means of a hemispherical lighthead 14.
  • the pressure piece 10 may be made of the same material integrally with the projections 12 and the flare 14 integrally made of a translucent material.
  • the hollow bar 5 with the pressure piece 10 and the housing 1 may expediently be designed as a pressure-resistant capsule in accordance with the requirements of explosion protection.
  • a printed circuit board 15 may be mounted, which is preferably fixed between web-shaped retaining ribs 16 and mounted on a bracket 17.
  • the circuit board 15 carries a light-emitting diode 18, which is located at the height of the end portion 9 within the pressure piece 10 at a distance below the flare 14 and is aligned to the latter.
  • a light-emitting diode 18 serving electronic components 19 may be provided on the circuit board 15 of the function of the light emitting diode 18 serving electronic components 19 may be provided.
  • an electrical switch 20 may be arranged, which is also mounted on the bracket 17.
  • the holder 17 may preferably have two pins 21 which engage in corresponding holes of the switch 20 and the printed circuit board 15.
  • the holder 17 itself can also be positioned in the hollow bar 5 and fixed in position by means of the conductor parts 4.
  • a switching piece 22 is provided within the hollow rod 5 between the pressure piece 10 and the switch 20, which is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the hollow rod 5 against a plunger 23 of the switch 20.
  • the switching piece 22 may be mounted on guide rails 42 and have a switching pin 24 which corresponds to the plunger 23.
  • the switching piece 22 is suitably associated with a compression spring 25, within of the hollow rod 5 is supported on the holder 17 and causes the switching piece 22 and the pressure pad 10 located above it to be pushed upwards, ie away from the plunger 23.
  • an overstroke spring 26 is provided in the hollow rod 5, which is arranged between the pressure piece 10 and the contact piece 22.
  • the indicator light may have an actuator 27, which engages over the protruding from the lid 2 part of the hollow rod 5 and the pressure piece 10.
  • the actuating attachment 27 has a hollow housing 5 tubular enclosing insert housing 28 with a threaded nut 29 and may be attached to a mounting wall 30 which is mounted between the threaded nut 29 and a front ring 31, wherein between the hole edge of the mounting wall 30 and the insert housing 28 and the front ring 31, a sealing ring 32 may be provided.
  • the rotatably mounted on the insert housing 28 threaded nut 29 is screwed firmly against the inside of the mounting wall 30, so that the actuator 27 is mounted securely in position.
  • the actuating attachment 27 has a light-transmitting luminous cap 33 which engages over the luminous cap 14 of the pressure element 10.
  • the lighting cap 33 is associated with an adapter sleeve 34, which in turn is associated with the pressure piece 10, so that both the pressure piece 10 and the light cap 33 are axially displaced with the adapter sleeve 34 in a switching operation.
  • the adapter sleeve 34 is supported by a support spring 35 designed as a compression spring, which is supported on a sleeve 36.
  • a molded seal 37 can be provided, which is mounted with a collar 38 in a groove of the insert housing 28 and held by means of the front ring 31 is.
  • the edge regions of the light cap 33 and the adapter sleeve 34 are overlapped and sealed by a collar 39 of the molded seal 37, wherein the tight contact with the collar 39 is formed after connecting the tongue / groove segment 43.
  • This compound may be conveniently prepared by gluing or by ultrasonic welding.
  • a downwardly facing edge surface 46 of the adapter sleeve 34 rests on an upwardly facing annular surface 47 of the sleeve 36
  • a downwardly facing end surface 48 of the adapter sleeve 34 rests on a collar surface 49 of the sleeve 36
  • a projection 50th the adapter sleeve 34 abuts against an upwardly directed web surface 51 of the insert housing 28.
  • the inner surface 40 of the light-emitting element 14 of the pressure element 10 facing the light-emitting diode 18 may be favorable to design at least the hemispherical inner surface 40 of the light-emitting element 14 of the pressure element 10 facing the light-emitting diode 18 in such a way that it has a fine-pearled structure.
  • the inner surface 40 may thus have a plurality of small spherical or bead-shaped elevations and a plurality of small hollows, which lie alternately immediately next to each other, so that the inner surface 40 is not smooth, but finely roughened.
  • Such a finely finished inner surface structure can preferably be achieved by erosion, etching, grain blasting or by a corresponding design of the mold surface.
  • the finely-finished internal surface structure causes the light emitted by the light-emitting diode 18 to break and catch on the entire inner surface 40 of the light-emitting bulb 14 in such a way that the light-emitting bulb 14 as a whole lights up as a uniformly large light-emitting body.
  • the light cap 33 made of a translucent material and covers the flare 14 at a small distance.
  • the light cap 14 facing inside 41 of the light cap 33 may also have a feinperlige structure.
  • This structure may be such that a plurality of small bead-shaped protrusions and a plurality of small hollows are alternately adjacent to each other, so that the inside 41 is finely roughened.
  • This finely-finished inner side structure can be made substantially the same as the finely-finished inner surface structure of the luminous cap 14 and manufactured according to the same production method.
  • An optimally bright and uniform illumination can also be achieved in that both the luminous cap 14 of the pressure piece 10 and the luminous cap 33 of the actuating attachment 27 are colored in accordance with the light or color wavelength of the light-emitting diode 18.
