Definitions

  • the invention relates to a push button arrangement, in particular for flashlights.
  • Push-button arrangements in particular for flashlights, are known according to the prior art.
  • an elastic, deformable hood is inserted into a housing opening.
  • On the inside of the housing there is a pressure switch element with a push button and the push button can be actuated from outside the flashlight housing via the hood.
  • a disadvantage of the push button arrangements according to the prior art is that the push buttons are designed as individual parts and, after they have been inserted into the housing opening, can easily be removed again from the housing opening.
  • the object of the present invention is to improve the known push button arrangements.
  • a push-button arrangement with a housing, with a housing opening, a pressure switching element, with a push button pointing out of the housing opening, an elastically deformable hood with a hood edge engaging behind the housing opening and a cylindrical inner wall, an insert ring, with an insert ring height and one Ring outer wall, which is nestled to the inner wall of the hood and which can be completely accommodated in the hood between the inner wall of the hood and the push button and the pressure gauge of which can be elastically changed in sections along the height of the insert ring.
  • the push-button arrangement according to the invention has an insert ring which can be inserted into the hood in such a way that the outer ring wall conforms to the inner wall of the hood.
  • the diameter of the insert ring can be changed elastically in sections.
  • the insertion ring according to the invention makes it difficult to remove the elastically deformable hood from the housing opening. When attempting to remove the hood from the housing opening, the part protruding from the housing is gripped and pressed together.
  • the elastically changeable insert ring yields to the pressure exerted on the hood and changes its diameter in sections.
  • the insertion ring preferably has a hood-side edge and a hood opening-side edge and recesses extending from the hood-side edge and hood opening-side edge.
  • the insert ring is preferably formed in one piece from elastic plastic.
  • the recesses allow a section-wise elastic change in the diameter of the insert ring along its ring height. By compressing the edge on the hood side and the associated reduction in diameter of the insert ring in this section, the diameter of the edge on the hood opening side can automatically increase.
  • the cutouts alternate from the hood-side and hood-opening-side edges in the direction of the other edge.
  • This particularly expedient embodiment of the insert ring also enables a section-wise change in the diameter of the insert ring and has in particular the effect that a reduction in the diameter of the edge on the hood side can lead to an increase in the diameter of the edge on the hood opening side.
  • the insertion ring When the elastically deformable hood is removed from the housing opening by enlarging the diameter of the edge opening on the hood opening, the insertion ring thus creates a clamping effect between the housing opening and the edge opening on the hood opening and clamps the hood firmly. This makes it difficult to remove the elastically deformable hood from the housing opening.
  • the hood edge is preferably molded on the housing opening side to the profile of the housing inner wall in the region of the housing opening. In this preferred embodiment of the hood, rotating the hood in the housing opening is made more difficult.
  • the hood preferably has a stop for the push button on an inner wall facing away from the hood opening.
  • the push button is preferably not visible on the outside of the housing and can only be actuated via the hood. A user intends to press the push button by pressing in the hood and thus to switch the pressure switching element, in particular a flashlight, on or off.
  • the stop optimizes the power transmission from the hood to the push button.
  • the stop is preferably designed as a short fixed cylinder, the stop outer wall of which is concentric with the cylindrical inner wall of the hood and there is a groove for receiving the hood. side edge between the stop outer wall and cylindrical
  • the inner wall of the hood is generally preferably cylindrical.
  • the above-mentioned preferred embodiment enables the insertion ring to be received in a particularly favorable manner inside the hood.
  • FIG. 4 cross section of a flashlight with push button arrangement according to the invention
  • FIG. 1 shows an insertion ring 1 which has an insertion ring height H.
  • the insert ring 1 consists of an encircling rectangular band, which is formed in that cutouts 4 alternate in the direction of the other edge from a hood-side 2 and a hood opening-side edge 3. In its unexpanded basic position, the insert ring 1 has a constant diameter along the insert ring height H.
  • the insert ring 1 is elastically deformable.
  • FIG. 2 shows the insert ring 1 according to FIG. 1 in an elastically deformed position.
  • the ring diameter is changed in sections from the ring diameter in the basic position along the insertion ring height.
  • the hood opening-side edge 3 of the insert ring 1 has a larger diameter than the insert ring 1 in FIG Basic position and the hood-side edge 2 a smaller diameter than the diameter of the insert ring 1 in the basic position.
  • FIG. 3 shows an external view of the hood 5.
  • the insert ring 1 is completely accommodated in the hood 5.
  • the hood 5 has a hood edge 6 which is adapted to the profile of a housing inner wall on the housing opening side.
  • FIG. 4 shows the push button arrangement 7 according to the invention installed in a flashlight.
  • the push button arrangement 7 is arranged between a flashlight head 8 and a battery housing 9.
  • the push-button arrangement 7 has a housing 10 with a housing opening 11.
  • the housing 10 is designed as a transition section between the battery housing 9 and the flashlight head 8.
  • a pressure switch element 12 is arranged on the inside of the flashlight of the housing opening 11.
  • the pressure switching element 12 is firmly clamped in a pressure switching element housing 13 and thus fixed in its position relative to the flashlight.
  • a push button 14 of the pressure switching element 12 points outward through the housing opening 11 and in this case partially projects through the housing opening.
  • the hood 5 according to FIG.
  • the hood edge 6 engages behind the housing opening 11.
  • the hood 5 has an integrally formed stop 15 on an inner wall facing away from the hood opening.
  • the stop 15 interacts with the push button 14 and transmits the force acting from the outside to the push button 14.
  • a hood opening 16 lies on the pressure switching element housing 13.
  • the stop 15 is designed as a short fixed cylinder. Its outer wall is formed concentrically with the cylindrical inner wall 17 of the hood. Between the A groove 18 runs along the outer wall of the stop and the cylindrical inner wall 17 of the hood. The edge 2 of the insert ring 1 on the hood side is received in the groove 18.
  • the insert ring 1 makes it more difficult to detach the hood 5 from the housing opening 11.
  • the insert ring 1 is less elastic than the hood 5, and on the other hand, by compressing the hood-side edge 2 of the insert ring 1, the hood opening-side edge 3 of the insert ring 1 is enlarged in diameter ,
  • the increase in the diameter of the edge 3 of the insert ring 1 on the hood opening side leads to a clamping effect between the housing opening 11 and the insert ring 1 with respect to the hood 5.
  • the hood side edge 2 of the insert ring 1 is compressed and the hood 5 held by the clamping action, as described above, in the housing 10.
