Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of electrical equipment, in particular switches and in particular modular switches provided with a control lamp or signaling, and has for object such a switch.
  • the beam generally passes through a translucent portion of the actuator of said switches.
  • lamp is hereinafter referred to as any device for providing illumination, namely in the form of incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, electroluminescent devices, for example light-emitting diodes.
  • Such manual wiring has, however, the disadvantage of requiring a relatively long operator intervention time, incompatible with good control of the cost and, in addition, it may be subject to technical defects inherent in a such cabling, namely a wiring imperfectly achieved.
  • the present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages by providing a switch with a control lamp or signaling.
  • said switch consisting of a trim plate surmounted by an actuator and provided on its underside with a mechanism provided with connection terminals and comprising a control or signal lamp housed in the mechanism and opening through the covering plate under a translucent part of the actuator, is characterized in that said indicator or signaling lamp is provided with an electrical connection terminal block at the terminals of the switch by plugging into a corresponding socket of the mechanism, said terminal block being wired to the lamp.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 of the appended drawings show a switch consisting of a covering plate 1 surmounted by an actuator 2 and mounted on its underside on a mechanism 3 provided with connection terminals 4, this switch comprising a control lamp or signaling 5 housed in the mechanism 3 and opening through the cover plate 1 under a translucent portion 6 of the actuator 2.
  • said indicator or signaling lamp 5 is provided with a terminal block 7 for electrical connection across the switch by plugging into a corresponding socket 8 of the mechanism 3, said terminal block 7 being originally wired on the lamp 5.
  • control or signaling lamp 5 forms with its electrical connection terminal block 7 a single piece that can be mounted simply and quickly in the mechanism 3 by plugging the lamp through its housing in the mechanism 3 and by plugging the terminal block 7 of the corresponding socket 8 of the mechanism 3.
  • FIG. 1 of the appended drawings shows the switch according to the invention, the terminal block 7 being plugged into the socket 8 and the lamp 5 being housed in the mechanism 3.
  • the indicator lamp 5 can warn the user of the state of the circuit controlled by the switch, for example by being switched on, which can be seen if the lamp is on. , by observing the lighting of the light, through the translucent part 6 of the actuator 2.
  • switches in particular modular switches provided with a warning or signaling lamp, of which said lamp can be mounted easily and quickly without the need for specific wiring operations during assembly.
  • the cost price of the switches thus produced can be reduced and the operation of these lamps is made more reliable.
