Abstract

Eine besonders geeignete Schaltstellungsanzeige (19) für ein elektrisches Schaltgerät (2) umfasst einen schwenkbar gelagerten Anzeigehebel (20) mit einem Anzeigefeld (27) umfasst, das in mindestens einer Anzeigestellung (35) des Anzeigehebels (20) zur Kenntlichmachung eines Betriebszustandes durch ein Gehäusefenster (29) von außen sichtbar ist. Dabei wirkt ein Antriebsteil (30) des Anzeigehebels (20) derart mit dem Schaltrad (16) eines Schrittschaltwerks (5) zusammen, dass das Antriebsteil (30) in einem, dem Betriebszustand eindeutig zuordbaren Abstand von der Drehachse (21) des Schaltrads (16) gehalten ist.

Figure 00000001
A particularly suitable switching position display (19) for an electrical switching device (2) comprises a pivotally mounted display lever (20) with a display panel (27), in at least one display position (35) of the display lever (20) for identifying an operating condition by a housing window (29) is visible from the outside. In this case, a drive part (30) of the indicator lever (20) interacts with the ratchet wheel (16) of a stepping mechanism (5) in such a way that the drive part (30) is at a distance from the axis of rotation (21) of the ratchet wheel (16) unambiguously assignable to the operating state ) is held.
