Abstract

Es wird ein elektrisches Schaltgerät vorgeschlagen, das hauptsächlich aus einem Sockelteil zumindest einer daran in mehrere Richtungen verstellbar gelagerten Betätigungstaste und gegebenenfalls einem zwischen diesen beiden Bauteilen angeordneten Zwischenrahmen besteht. Zu dem Zweck, ein elektrisches Schaltgerät zu schaffen, dessen Betätigungsfläche nur ein besonders klein dimensionierten Lichtaustrittsbereich aufweist und die hauptsächliche Ausleuchtung des elektrischen Schaltgerätes, um das Erscheinungsbild nicht zu stören, an dessen Seitenbereichen erfolgt, ist auf der Leiterplatte zumindest eine Leuchtdiode vorhanden, welcher zur Einkoppelung des abgegebenen Lichtes einerseits ein Lichtleitkörper zugeordnet ist, der andererseits als Lichtaustrittsbereich außenseitig an zumindest einem der Seitenbereiche des elektrischen Schaltgerätes, unterhalb der Unterseite der zugeordneten Betätigungstaste austretend endet.

Figure 00000001
It is proposed an electrical switching device, which consists mainly of a base part of at least one adjustable in several directions mounted actuating button and optionally an intermediate frame arranged between these two components. For the purpose of creating an electrical switching device, the actuating surface has only a particularly small dimensioned light exit area and the main illumination of the electrical switching device, not to disturb the appearance, takes place on the side areas, on the circuit board at least one light emitting diode is present, which Coupling of the emitted light on the one hand associated with a light guide body, on the other hand ends as a light exit area on the outside at least one of the side regions of the electrical switching device, exiting below the bottom of the associated actuating button.
