Furthermore, an embodiment has markings on the actuating elements for the circuit variants, so that a simple and advantageously fast assignment of the setting positions to the circuit variants is made possible.

Another particular advantage is that an existing structure of terminal contact can be maintained and the space between them is optimally utilized, with no additional wear contacts and components are required, which must be operated in the daily use of the installation switch with and can form sources of error ,

In a further embodiment, the installation switch is equipped with an adjustable locking device for influencing the actuation of the electrical contacts, wherein the locking device has at least one adjustable in at least two positions locking element. In this embodiment, the application of the multi-function installation switch is advantageously extended. It is also possible, for example, to execute so-called shutter switch functions with mutual locking of the rocker switches.

A further advantage is that the setting of the locking device can be installed, retrofitted and / or changed by the installer at any time on site.

The locking element can be adjusted axially in a preferred embodiment of the invention in two positions. One position is the non-functioning condition of the locking element, in which the installation switch fulfills a normal series switch function, i. Both actuators or rockers can be actuated independently of each other. In the second position, the locking element is axially displaced toward the rocker axis such that the blocking elements arranged at the ends of the base body are each arranged under a rocker or under a nose arranged on a rocker end. The mutually facing surfaces of each of the locking elements and the ends or lugs of the rockers have corresponding stop surfaces. This results in an advantageous interference-free interaction of the locking element with the rockers.

In a further embodiment, it is advantageous that the switch body has corresponding to the holding elements of the locking element limiting elements. As a result, the definition of the axial adjustment positions of the locking element is advantageously made possible.

It is particularly advantageous that these limiting elements are each arranged on the receiving element. Thus, an advantageous compact design of the locking element with multiple functions is possible.

It is also advantageous if the switch body not only has a receiving element for the locking element, but two opposite. As a result, the position of the locking element can, on the one hand, be adapted to fit the installation site, on the other hand, it is also possible to use a second locking element for special security levels or additional functions such as forced switching. This forced switching is particularly advantageous in shutter switches, as this always an on-position of the switch is made possible, which allow no so-called unlocking a corresponding blind motor, in which both paddles otherwise can remain in the off position. This special function advantageously increases the range of application.

1 shows a perspective top view of the connection contact terminals 10, 10 ', 11, 11', 12, 12 'of an embodiment of an installation switch 1 according to the invention with switch contacts 3, 4 and contact bridges 5, 6, 7, wherein a switch body is not shown for reasons of clarity is.

The known connection contact terminals 10, 10 ', 11, 11', 12, 12 'are located on the upper and lower side of the installation switch 1 and are also known switching contacts 3, 4, which by known organs 9, 9' (Figure 6a to 6d), for example, rockers, are actuated, provided and will therefore not be further explained. The connection contact terminals 10, 10 ', 11, 11', 12, 12 'are additionally connected to the contact bridges 5, 6, 7 as auxiliary contacts.

The contact bridges 5, 6, 7 are made of preferably resilient, differently shaped contact elements of electrically good conductive material. Each contact bridge 5, 6, 7 is formed from two contact elements g, h, i, j, k, l (Figure 6a), wherein also a portion or part of a terminal contact 10, 10 ', 11, 11', 12, 12th Part of a contact element g, h, i, j, k, l can be a contact bridge 5, 6, 7.

The contact bridges 5, 6, 7 are arranged within the installation switch 1 at different locations. In the illustrated embodiment, they are located within different planes in which they can be arranged side by side and / or one behind the other. They are divided into a first contact bridge 5, a second contact bridge 6 and a third contact bridge 7. Here, the first contact bridge 5 forms an additional Stromleitweg between the terminal contact terminals 11 and 12, the second contact bridge 6 an additional Stromleitweg between the terminal contact 11 and 11 'and the third contact bridge 7 an additional Stromleitweg between the terminal contact terminals 10 and 12' (see also FIG 6a).

The contact elements g, h, i, j, k, l of the contact bridges 5, 6, 7 are in this embodiment in contact with their respective free ends, which are preferably formed in each case to U- or V-shaped tabs 18, and thus each form actuated closed contacts of additional current conducting paths. The required contact pressure force of the contact elements g, h, i, j, k, l of the contact bridges 5, 6, 7 with each other is made possible due to the material and shape properties of the contact elements.

The actuation of the contact elements g, h, i, j, k, l of the contact bridges 5, 6, 7 by means of an actuating device 8, which is shown in Figures 2 to 4. The actuating device 8 consists in this embodiment of a first and a second contact actuator 13, 14 (Figures 2 to 4) and in each case with these rigidly connected adjusting elements 15, 16 (Figure 4).

The contact actuators 13, 14 are each narrow, made of insulating plates, which are pushed between the respective contact bridge 5, 6, 7 forming contact elements g, h, i, j, k, l, to interrupt the Stromleitweg formed by them. Here, the contact elements g, h, i, j, k, l are advantageously separated by the tabs 18, wherein the previously formed by them electrical closed contact is opened.

The plates of the contact actuators 13, 14 preferably have at their operating edges rounding for easy disassembly of the contact elements g, h, i, j, k, l, m. The contact actuators 13, 14 are displaceably received in the base 2 (FIGS. 5a to 5b), their direction of displacement in this embodiment extending in the longitudinal direction between the two terminal contact terminals 11, 11 opposite one another. The contact actuators 13, 14 are designed so that they are mutually displaceable.

In Figure 2 are the contact actuators 13, 14 adjacent to each other between the contact bridges 6 and 7, the first contact bridge 5 is not actuated.

FIG. 3 additionally shows a base 2 of the installation switch 1, this being shown turned by 180 ° in this illustration. The contact actuators 13, 14 in this case separate the third contact bridge 5. It is not shown, but easily conceivable that the contact actuators 13, 14 can also be shifted from each other, in which case, for example, the first contact actuator 13, the first contact bridge 5 and the second contact actuator 14th the second and third contact bridge 6, 7 actuated.

In Figure 4, the installation switch 1 is shown without base from below, wherein the actuator 8 is shown with the adjusting elements 15 and 16. The adjusting elements 15 and 16 are each provided with markings 17, which partially complement each other, in this example, two opposite semicircles form a full circle. The "of fenen" semicircles can be made to coincide with each other by the adjusting elements 15, 16 are moved against each other, as shown in Figure 5b. Of course, other symbols are possible.

Figures 5a and 5b show the view of the installation switch 1 according to Figure 4 with its base 2, which has on its underside a rectangular recess in which the adjusting elements 15, 16 are received. By an introduced under the control elements 15, 16 in the base 2, not shown, elongated opening the adjusting elements 15, 16 are connected to the arranged below the inside of the installation switch 1 actuators 13, 14 and in the base 2 in the longitudinal direction of the adjusting elements 15, 16 displaced.

Figure 5a shows the setting of the actuators 15, 16 in the variation "cross-switch" of the installation switch 1, which is marked on the base in this embodiment with a capital letter K, on which the full circle forming markings 17 show.

Figure 5b shows a further possible adjustment of the actuators 15, 16 in the variation "change-over-circuit" of the installation switch 1, which is marked on the pedestal in this embodiment with a capital letter W, on which the full-circle forming markings 17 show.

The actuation of the adjusting elements 15, 16 can be done with a suitable tool during installation on site in a simple manner for advantageous selection of a switching variation of the installation switch 1. Also, by selecting the organ 9, 9 ', the number of variations can be increased.

FIGS. 6a to 6d show circuit diagrams of possible adjustable circuit variations of the installation switch 1. Conventional circuit diagrams are used.

The switching contact 3 has the terminals a, b, c and the switching contact 4, the terminals d, e, f. The first contact bridge 5 has the terminals g and, the second contact bridge 6, the terminals i and j and the third contact bridge 7, the terminals k and 1.

The first contact bridge 5 forms an additional Stromleitweg between the terminal contact terminals 11 and 12, the second contact bridge 6 an additional Stromleitweg between the terminal contact terminals 11 and 11 and the third contact bridge 5 an additional Stromleitweg between the terminal contact terminals 11 and 12 '. Other variations are also possible.

FIG. 6a is explained in detail below by way of example.

In Figure 6a, a "cross-circuit" is shown, in which the organ 9, 9 ', for example a rocker, is made in one piece and the switching contacts 3 and 4 operated simultaneously. The actuator 8 is in the position shown in Figures 4 and 5a. Here, the first contact bridge 5 is opened, and the contact bridges 6 and 7 are closed. This results in the position shown, the switching contacts 3 and 4, a first Stromleitweg of the terminal contact 12 as an input via switch contact 3 to terminal contact 12 'as an output and a first independent second Stromleitweg of the terminal contact 10' as input via switch contact 4 to terminal contact 11th and from there via the closed second contact bridge 6 to the terminal contact 11 'as an output.

Upon actuation of the organ 9, 9 ', the switching contacts 3, 4 are actuated, so that when switching contact 3, the terminals a, b are opened and closed a, c and the switch contacts d, e open and d, f are closed. Thereby, the first Stromleitweg of the terminal contact 12 to the terminal contact 11 'and the second Stromleitweg of the terminal contact 10' on the closed third contact bridge 6 on the terminal contact 12 'placed.

FIG. 6b shows a "series connection" in which two mutually independent organs 9 and 9 'are used, the first contact bridge 5 is closed and the second and third contact bridge 6, 7 are opened.

FIG. 6c shows an "alternating changeover circuit" with two organs 9, 9 '. In this case, all contact bridges 5, 6, 7 are opened. This position of the actuator 8 is shown in Figure 5b.

Finally, FIG. 6d shows a "changeover circuit" in which an organ 9, 9 'simultaneously actuates both switching contacts 3 and 4 and all contact bridges 5, 6, 7 are open.

FIG. 7 shows a multi-functional installation switch with a view of the actuation side in a further embodiment with a locking element 20. The actuators 9 and 9 'are mutually independent about an actuator axis 23 pivotally. Their pivoting movement is limited by their construction and the embodiment of the switch body in a known manner.

Below the actuator 9, 9 'in the upper region of the switch, the locking element 20 is arranged. It has a preferably cylindrical central part 22, which is accommodated on the base 2 in a receiving element 31 with a passage opening perpendicular to the actuator axis 23 pivotally. The locking element 20 is mounted so that it is on the one hand pivotable about the longitudinal axis of the central part 22 and on the other hand axially adjustable in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the central part 22.

Furthermore, the locking element 20 at the ends of a base body on a first and a second locking element 21, 21 '. These locking elements 21, 21 'limit the pivotability of the locking element 20 about the longitudinal axis of its central part 22 by cooperating with their surfaces facing the switch body or base 2 with this at certain points.

The surfaces of the locking elements 21, 21 'of the locking element 20 opposite these surfaces are designed such that they interact with ends of the actuators 9, 9' or with lugs 19, 19 'arranged at these ends in a specific position of the locking element 20.

The axial adjustability of the locking element 20 preferably has two axially adjustable positions. FIG. 7 shows a first position of the locking element 20 in which it has no function, wherein the actuators 9, 9 'can be actuated independently of one another.

FIG. 8 shows a second position of the locking element 20, which is displaced in the axial direction onto the actuator axis 23. This second position of the locking element 20 is locked in the axial direction by means of holding parts 27, 27 'of the locking element 20 in cooperation with limiting elements 30, 30' of the base 2, as will be explained below.

The locking elements 21, 21 'of the locking element 20 are now under the lugs 19, 19' of the actuator 9, 9 '. When pressed on an actuator 9, 9 ', the locking member 20 is pivoted by this means of his nose 19, 19' on the underlying locking element 21, 21 'downwards, wherein the opposite locking element 21, 21' under the nose 19, 19 'of the other actuator 9, 9 'presses, or this actuator 9, 9', and, if it is in an on state, put back in the off state. Thus, only one function with only one actuator 9, 9 'done. Pressing both actuators 9, 9 'in the same direction is not possible.

9 shows a partial sectional view of the actuator 9 with the locking element 20 in the first position in an enlarged view, wherein Figure 10 shows the same view as Figure 9, but with the locking element 20 in the second position. The locking element 20 is shown in Figures 9 and 10 cut in its longitudinal axis by the central part 22 and a pin 29. The arranged at one end of the central part 22 pin 29 serves to facilitate the installation of the locking element 20 as a guide for the central part 22 in the receiving element 31 inside.

In this embodiment, the receiving element 31 (also cut), the middle part 22 from below with a larger area than from above. Furthermore, FIG. 9 shows the superimposition of a first holding-part holding surface 28 of the holding part 27 of the locking element 20 and a first limiting-element holding surface 32 of the limiting element 30 in the first position of the locking element 20. In Figure 10 are in the second position of the locking element 20, a second holding part holding surface 33 and a second limiting element holding surface 34 to each other.

The nose 19 of the actuator 9 and the abutment surface 21 of the locking element 20 may also be embodied in other configurations.

The locking element 20 is shown in Figure 11 for clarity in a perspective view from below, resulting from a view of Figure 7 from an imaginary point behind the plane of the drawing from diagonally below. The main body 24 of the locking element 20 consists in the embodiment shown of a quasi-rectangular, elongate plate having at its ends from the lower side bevels 25 and at the ends of thickenings, which the first and second locking element 21, 21 'with the abutment surfaces 26, 26 'form. The central part 22 with the pin 29 is arranged on the upper side of the base body 24, as well as on both sides of this, the holding parts 27, 27 '. All of these components 21, 21 ', 22, 24, 27, 27' 29 extend in the same direction in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the central part 22 of the base plate 24 in different lengths. The locking element 20 is integrally formed with these components 21, 21 ', 22, 24, 27, 27' 29 together. Of course, other embodiments with Einzelanbringungen or other forms of these parts are possible.

The locking element 20 can be installed in an advantageous manner always in the installation switch 1. Only by its different axial positions, it is easily possible to select this additional function of the installation switch 1. It is of course also possible that the locking element 20 can be mounted on site by an installer also in an advantageously simple manner, or already existing installation switch 1 can be retrofitted.

Another locking element 20 'can be used in the same way on the opposite side of the first locking element 20, so as to form an additional function of a so-called forced switching. This forced switching of the actuators 9, 9 'can be advantageously used for shutter switches, each with a closed position.

The locking element 20 is provided on both sides of the central part 22 with preferably finger-shaped holding parts 27, 27 ', which have at their free ends, which extend parallel to the central part 22 in the same direction to the center of the base 2, in section triangular thickenings. These thickenings each have to the central part 22 indicative beveled surfaces 28, 28 ', which rest on first corresponding retaining surfaces 32, 32' of limiting elements 30, 30 ', which on both sides of the receiving element 19, 19' are arranged and formed integrally with this in a preferred manner could be.

These first retaining surfaces 32 of the limiting elements 30, 30 'point away from the middle part 22 of the locking element 20 and, together with the retaining elements in this non-illustrated position of the locking element 20, form an axial limit stop. In addition, not shown further means for fixing this position may be provided, for example, suitable thickening on the outer surface of the central part, which cooperate with the opening of the receiving element 19.

A second axial position of the locking element 20 is adjusted by pressing the locking element 20 toward the center of the base 2 against the resistance of the flexible retaining parts 27, 27 '. The flexible retainers 27, 27 'are outwardly biased due to the tapered inner surfaces at their ends and the tapered first retaining surfaces 28, i. bent from the central part 22 of the locking element 20, until they bend back in a second axial position of the locking element 20 below the limiting elements 30, 30 'due to their flexibility back to the central part 22 of the locking member 20 back. Preferably, the holding parts 27, 27 'made of a suitable plastic, which has this elasticity.

FIG. 11 also shows that a recess is arranged on both sides of the middle part 22 between the holding parts 27, 27 ', the middle part 22 and the base body 24. This recess serves to reset the locking element 20 by means of a suitable tool axially in the first non-functioning position, or to adjust it axially.

The invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, but modifiable in a variety of ways.

Thus, it is conceivable, for example, that the actuating device 8 is rotatable and / or displaceable. The contact actuators 13, 14 can operate the contact bridges 5, 6, 7 in different ways, for example, produce a Stromleitweg by closing the same, or have recesses through which the contact bridges 5, 6, 7 are contacted.

It is also conceivable that the contact actuators 13, 14 are formed with conductive connections, which contact the contact bridges 5, 6, 7 for the production of Stromleitwegen.

Furthermore, the number of contact bridges 5, 6, 7 may be larger or smaller. In this case, more than two contact actuators 13, 14 can be used.
