Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Lochsegment für einen Papierlocher gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 sowie einen Papierlocher gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 15.The invention relates to a hole segment for a paper punch according to the preamble of claim 1 and a paper punch according to the preamble of claim 15.

Große Papierlocher weisen eine am Locherunterteil gelagerte Befestigungsstange auf, auf der mehrere, in der Regel vier Lochsegmente angebracht sind, vgl. z.B. EP 0 540 828 A1 aus der die Merkmale des Oberbegriffs des Anspruch 1 bekannt sind. Die Lochsegmente weisen jeweils einen Grundkörper auf, durch den ein Führungskanal für die Befestigungsstange verläuft, sowie einen im Grundkörper gegen die Kraft einer Feder verschiebbar geführten Lochstempel. Am Locherunterteil ist ein Druckhebel schwenkbar gelagert, der zum Niederdrücken der Lochstempel gegen die Federkraft dient. Hierzu ist an der Unterseite des Druckhebels eine Druckstange angebracht, die beim Niederdrücken des Druckhebels die Lochstempel kraftbeaufschlagt. Die Lochsegmente sind verschiebbar auf der Befestigungsstange geführt und jeweils mit einer Rändelschraube versehen. Die Rändelschraube ist so in ein Gewinde im Grundkörper eingeschraubt, dass sie zum Fixieren des Lochsegments an der Befestigungsstange gegen diese anliegend angezogen werden kann. Die Lochsegmente liegen mit ihrer Unterseite auf einer Oberfläche des Unterteils auf. Die Verschiebbarkeit der Lochsegmente auf der Befestigungsstange erlaubt es zum einen, unterschiedliche Lochabstände einzustellen, indem die Abstände der Lochsegmente zueinander verändert werden. Zum anderen wird auch der Austausch der Lochsegmente ermöglicht, um beispielsweise durch Einsatz von dickeren Lochstempeln größere Löcher im Papier zu erhalten. Zum Austausch der Lochsegmente muß die Befestigungsstange aus ihren Lagern entnommen werden.Large paper punches have a mounting rod mounted on the punch lower part, on which several, usually four hole segments are attached, cf. eg EP 0 540 828 A1 from which the features of the preamble of claim 1 are known. The hole segments each have a base body through which a guide channel for the attachment rod extends, and a in the base body against the force of a spring slidably guided punch. At the punch lower part of a pressure lever is pivotally mounted, which serves to depress the punch against the spring force. For this purpose, a push rod is attached to the underside of the pressure lever, the force applied to the punches on depression of the pressure lever. The hole segments are slidably guided on the mounting rod and each provided with a knurled screw. The thumbscrew is screwed into a thread in the body so that it can be tightened to fix the hole segment to the mounting rod against this. The hole segments lie with their underside on a surface of the lower part. The displaceability of the hole segments on the mounting rod allows, on the one hand, to set different hole spacings by changing the spacings of the hole segments relative to each other. On the other hand, the exchange of the hole segments is made possible, for example, by using thicker punch punches to get larger holes in the paper. To replace the hole segments, the mounting rod must be removed from their camps.

Beim Fixieren der Lochsegmente auf der Befestigungsstange mittels der Rändelschrauben kann sich das Lochsegment jedoch geringfügig aus der vorgesehenen Position verschieben, was eine genaue Einstellung des Lochbilds erschwert. Schwierigkeiten bereitet auch die von der Bedienperson abhängige Kraft, mit der die Rändelschraube angezogen wird. Wird die Rändelschraube zu schwach angezogen, kann sich das Lochsegment beim Lochen verschieben, wird sie zu stark angezogen, wird oft Werkzeug benötigt, um sie wieder zu lösen. Die Notwendigkeit, die Befestigungsstange zum Austausch der Lochsegmente aus ihren Lagern zu entnehmen, erfordert zudem vom Anwender technisches Geschick. Schließlich kann ein Verschieben der Lochsegmente auf der in den Lagern fest montierten Befestigungsstange schwierig sein, wenn die Befestigungsstange aufgrund von Fertigungstoleranzen zu nahe am Locherunterteil gelagert ist und zwischen den Lochsegmenten und der Oberfläche des Unterteils Reibungskräfte auftreten.When fixing the hole segments on the mounting rod by means of the thumbscrews, however, the hole segment can be slightly out of the move position, which makes precise adjustment of the hole pattern difficult. Difficulties are also caused by the operator dependent force with which the knurled screw is tightened. If the knurled screw is tightened too tightly, the hole segment may shift during punching. If it is tightened too much, it will often require tools to release it. The need to remove the mounting rod to replace the hole segments from their camps, also requires the user technical skill. Finally, shifting the hole segments onto the mounting bar fixedly mounted in the bearings may be difficult if the mounting rod is too close to the punch bottom due to manufacturing tolerances and frictional forces occur between the hole segments and the surface of the base.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Papierlocher der eingangs genannten Art derart weiterzubilden, dass er leichter handhabbar ist.It is therefore an object of the invention to develop a paper punch of the type mentioned in such a way that it is easier to handle.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Lochsegment mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Desweiteren wird die Aufgabe durch einen Papierlocher mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 15 gelöst.The object is achieved by a hole segment with the features of claim 1. Furthermore, the object is achieved by a paper punch with the features of claim 15.

Dem erfindungsgemäßen Lochsegment gemäß Anspruch 1 und dem Papierlocher gemäß Anspruch 15 liegt der Gedanke zugrunde, die Austauschbarkeit der Lochsegmente zu erleichtern, indem die Befestigungsstange über den Einführschlitz in den Führungskanal einführbar ist. Durch diese Maßnahme können die Lochsegmente auf die Befestigungsstange aufgesetzt und von dieser entfernt werden, ohne dass diese aus ihren Lagern genommen werden muß. Dabei ist der Einführschlitz zweckmäßig in einer Unterseite des mindestens einen Grundkörpers angeordnet. Zweckmäßig weist dann der Grundkörper den Einführschlitz begrenzend ein Bodenelement zum Untergreifen der Befestigungsstange auf. Das Lochsegment wird auf die Befestigungsstange aufgesetzt, indem diese durch den Einführschlitz in den Führungskanal eingeführt wird. Anschließend wird das Lochsegment so verschoben, dass das Bodenelement die Befestigungsstange untergreift. Durch Anpressen des Druckstücks auf die Befestigungsstange wird diese gegen das Bodenelement gedrückt, und das Lochsegment wird auf der Befestigungsstange festgelegt.The hole segment according to the invention according to claim 1 and the paper punch according to claim 15 is based on the idea to facilitate the interchangeability of the hole segments by the mounting rod can be inserted via the insertion slot in the guide channel. By this measure, the hole segments can be placed on the mounting rod and removed from this, without having to be taken out of their camps. In this case, the insertion slot is expediently arranged in a lower side of the at least one main body. Expediently, the base body then has the insertion slot delimiting a bottom element for reaching under the fastening rod. The hole segment is placed on the mounting rod by being inserted through the insertion slot in the guide channel. Then the hole segment is moved, that the bottom element engages under the fastening rod. By pressing the pressure piece on the mounting rod it is pressed against the bottom element, and the hole segment is fixed on the mounting rod.

Der vorteilhaften Weiterbildung des Lochsegments gemäß Anspruch 6 liegt der Gedanke zugrunde, dass beim Anpressen des Druckstücks an die Befestigungsstange keine Reibung verursachende Drehbewegung zwischen dem Druckstück und der Befestigungsstange erfolgt. Durch das auf die Betätigungsnocken wirkende Betätigungselement wird das Druckstück in einer translatorischen Bewegung auf die Befestigungsstange gepresst. Das Betätigungselement weist einen Betätigungskörper mit zylinderförmiger Außenkontur auf, dessen Mantelfläche mindestens eine teilweise umlaufende Vertiefung für die Aufnahme des mindestens einen Betätigungsnockens aufweist, wobei die Tiefe der Vertiefung in einer Umfangsrichtung stetig abnimmt. Wird der Betätigungskörper um seine Mittelachse gedreht, wirkt er wie ein Exzenter. Bei einer Drehung in Umfangsrichtung verringert sich die Tiefe der Vertiefung an der Stelle, an der der Betätigungsnocken eingreift, stetig, so dass Druck auf den Betätigungsnocken ausgeübt wird. Wenn sowohl das Betätigungselement als auch das Druckstück aus Polyoxymethylen ausgebildet sind, tritt nur eine geringe Reibung zwischen dem Betätigungskörper und dem Betätigungsnocken auf.The advantageous development of the hole segment according to claim 6 is based on the idea that no friction causing rotational movement between the pressure piece and the mounting rod takes place when pressing the pressure piece to the mounting rod. By acting on the actuating cam actuator, the pressure piece is pressed in a translational movement on the mounting rod. The actuating element has an actuating body with a cylindrical outer contour, whose lateral surface has at least one partially circumferential recess for receiving the at least one actuating cam, wherein the depth of the recess decreases steadily in a circumferential direction. If the actuator body is rotated about its central axis, it acts like an eccentric. When rotated in the circumferential direction, the depth of the recess at the location where the actuating cam engages, steadily decreases, so that pressure is exerted on the actuating cam. If both the actuator and the pressure piece are made of polyoxymethylene, only a small amount of friction occurs between the actuator body and the actuating cam.

Vorzugsweise weist mindestens einer der Grundkörper oberhalb seines Führungskanals eine zur Außenkontur des Betätigungskörpers komplementäre zylinderförmige Aufnahmekontur auf, die durch mindestens ein Loch zum Durchführen des mindestens einen Betätigungsnockens mit dem Führungskanal verbunden ist. In der Aufnahmekontur ist der Betätigungskörper so gelagert, dass er um seine Mittelachse gedreht werden kann, ohne dass es hierzu einer aufwendigen Aufhängung an der Mittelachse bedarf. Zudem wird das Betätigungselement durch Eingriff des mindestens einen Betätigungsnockens in die mindestens eine Vertiefung in axialer Richtung in der Außenkontur fixiert. Zweckmäßig weist das Betätigungselement einen mit dem Betätigungskörper verbundenen, radial von ihm abstehenden Handhebel auf. Der Handhebel ragt vorteilhaft aus der Aufnahmekontur heraus und ist zum Drehen des Betätigungskörpers zwischen zwei durch Kanten der Aufnahmekontur gebildeten Anschlägen beweglich. Die Kanten legen Endpositionen des Handhebels fest, so dass beim Verdrehen des Betätigungselements bis zum Anschlag von jedem Anwender stets der gleiche Anpressdruck des Druckstücks auf die Befestigungsstange erzielt wird.Preferably, at least one of the main body above its guide channel to a complementary outer contour of the actuator body cylindrical receiving contour, which is connected by at least one hole for performing the at least one actuating cam with the guide channel. In the receiving contour of the actuator body is mounted so that it can be rotated about its central axis, without requiring a complex suspension on the central axis. In addition, the actuating element by engaging the at least one actuating cam in the at least one recess in the axial direction in the Outer contour fixed. Expediently, the actuating element has a hand lever connected to the actuating body and protruding radially from it. The hand lever protrudes advantageously out of the receiving contour and is movable for rotating the actuating body between two stops formed by edges of the receiving contour. The edges define end positions of the hand lever, so that when turning the actuator to the stop of each user always the same contact pressure of the pressure piece is achieved on the mounting rod.

Zweckmäßig weist der mindestens eine Führungskanal in seinem oberen Bereich mindestens einen Absatz auf, dem das Druckstück ruht. Das Druckstück ist dann ohne weitere Befestigung unverlierbar im Führungskanal aufgenommen, da nach oben hin der mindestens eine Nocken durch das mindestens eine Loch hindurchgreift, während es nach unten hin auf dem Absatz aufliegt. Die unverlierbare Halterung des Druckstücks im Grundkörper kann zweckmäßig dadurch verbessert werden, dass das Druckstück eine Federzunge aufweist, die an den Grundkörper anliegend das Druckstück auf den mindestens einen Absatz drückt. Vorteilhaft weist das Druckstück an seiner der Befestigungsstange zugewandten Unterseite eine Rinne auf, deren Kontur komplementär zu einem Abschnitt der Außenkontur der Befestigungsstange ist. Beim Anpressen an die Befestigungsstange wird dann das Druckstück so ausgerichtet, dass die Rinne parallel zur Befestigungsstange angeordnet ist. Dies ermöglicht eine präzisere Positionierung des Lochsegments. Vorzugsweise ist das Betätigungselement und/oder das Druckstück einstückig, vorzugsweise als Spritzgussteil, ausgebildet. Beide Bauteile sind dann einfach herzustellen.The at least one guide channel expediently has at least one shoulder in its upper region, which rests on the pressure piece. The pressure piece is then taken captive in the guide channel without further attachment, since at the top of at least one cam through the at least one hole engages while it rests down on the paragraph. The captive mounting of the pressure piece in the main body can be advantageously improved in that the pressure piece has a spring tongue which presses against the main body of the pressure piece on the at least one paragraph. Advantageously, the pressure piece on its side facing the mounting rod underside a groove whose contour is complementary to a portion of the outer contour of the mounting rod. When pressing against the mounting rod, the pressure piece is then aligned so that the groove is arranged parallel to the mounting rod. This allows a more precise positioning of the hole segment. Preferably, the actuating element and / or the pressure piece is integrally formed, preferably as an injection molded part. Both components are then easy to manufacture.

Vorteilhaft ist die Befestigungsstange an ihren beiden Enden in je einem Lager im Unterteil gelagert und jedes Lager weist ein starres Auflageelement zum Auflegen der Enden der Befestigungsstange und ein elastisch verformbares Halteelement zum Niederhalten der Enden auf. Dieser vorteilhaften Weiterbildung liegt der Gedanke zugrunde, dass zum Verschieben der Lochsegmente auf der Befestigungsstange diese ein Stück weit angehoben werden kann. Das Anheben erfolgt gegen eine Rückstellkraft des elastisch verformbaren Halteelements. Durch das Anheben der Befestigungsstange werden die Lochsegmente vom Unterteil abgehoben und sind leichter verschiebbar. Dies ist insbesondere dann von Bedeutung, wenn aufgrund von Fertigungstoleranzen bei einzelnen Papierlochern die Befestigungsstange etwas zu nahe am Unterteil angebracht ist. Die Halteelemente sind vorteilhaft an die Befestigungsstange anliegend angeordnet. Dadurch wird die Befestigungsstange auf die starren Auflageelemente gedrückt und in Position gehalten. Die Halteelemente bestehen vorteilhaft aus Weichkunststoff.Advantageously, the mounting rod is mounted at its two ends in a respective bearing in the lower part and each bearing has a rigid support element for laying the ends of the mounting rod and an elastically deformable retaining element for holding down the ends. This advantageous development is based on the idea that for moving the hole segments on the mounting rod this can be raised a bit far. The lifting takes place against a restoring force of the elastically deformable retaining element. By lifting the mounting rod, the hole segments are lifted from the base and are easier to move. This is particularly important if due to manufacturing tolerances in individual paper holes the mounting rod is mounted a little too close to the base. The holding elements are advantageously arranged adjacent to the mounting rod. As a result, the mounting rod is pressed onto the rigid support elements and held in position. The holding elements are advantageously made of soft plastic.

Die Grundkörper der Lochsegmente weisen vorzugsweise an ihrer Unterseite jeweils eine ebene Auflagefläche auf, mit der sie auf einer ebenen Oberfläche am Unterteil aufliegen. Dies erleichtert eine genaue Positionierung der Lochsegmente. Gemäß einem besonders rationellen Fertigungsverfahren werden die Grundkörper hergestellt, indem sie von einem Strangpressprofil, vorzugsweise aus Aluminium, abgesägt werden.The main body of the hole segments preferably have on their underside each a flat support surface, with which they rest on a flat surface on the lower part. This facilitates accurate positioning of the hole segments. According to a particularly rational production method, the basic bodies are produced by being sawed off from an extruded profile, preferably from aluminum.

Ein in Fig. 1 gezeigter Papierlocher 10 weist ein Unterteil 12 auf, in dem zwei Lager 14 angeordnet sind, in denen jeweils ein Ende 16 einer Befestigungsstange 18 gelagert ist. Die Befestigungsstange 18 trägt vier Lochsegmente 20, die jeweils einen durch Absägen von einem Aluminiumstrangpressprofil hergestellten Grundkörper 22 aufweisen (Fig. 3 und 4). Im Grundkörper 22 jedes Lochsegments 20 ist ein Lochstempel 24 zum Lochen von Papier gegen die Kraft einer Feder 26 verschiebbar geführt. Zum Niederdrücken der Lochstempel 24 für das Lochen von Papier ist am Unterteil 12 ein Druckhebel 28 schwenkbar gelagert. Mit dem Druckhebel 28 ist eine in der Zeichnung nicht gezeigte Druckstange verbunden, die beim Niederdrücken des Druckhebels 28 nach unten bewegt wird und alle Lochstempel 24 gleichzeitig beaufschlagt. Quer durch die Grundkörper 22 erstrecken sich Führungskanäle 30, durch die die Befestigungsstange 18 durchgeführt ist. An ihrer Unterseite 32 weisen die Grundkörper 22 jeweils eine ebene Auflagefläche 34 auf, mit der sie auf einer ebenen Oberfläche 36 des Unterteils 12 aufliegen.An in Fig. 1 shown paper punch 10 has a lower part 12, in which two bearings 14 are arranged, in each of which an end 16 of a mounting rod 18 is mounted. The mounting rod 18 carries four hole segments 20, each having a base body 22 produced by sawing off an extruded aluminum profile ( Fig. 3 and 4 ). In the main body 22 of each hole segment 20, a punch 24 for punching paper against the force of a spring 26 is slidably guided. To depress the punches 24 for the punching of paper, a pressure lever 28 is pivotally mounted on the lower part 12. With the pressure lever 28, a pressure rod, not shown in the drawing is connected, which is moved upon depression of the pressure lever 28 down and applied to all punches 24 simultaneously. Transversely through the base body 22 extending guide channels 30 through which the mounting rod 18 is performed. On their underside 32, the base body 22 each have a flat support surface 34, with which they rest on a flat surface 36 of the lower part 12.

Die Lager 14 (Fig. 2) weisen jeweils ein starres Auflageelement 38 auf, auf dem ein Ende 16 der Befestigungsstange 18 aufliegt. Sie weisen desweiteren jeweils ein Halteelement 40 aus Weichkunststoff auf, das an der Befestigungsstange 18 anliegt und diese auf das Auflageelement 38 niederhält. Die Halteelemente 40 sind elastisch kompressibel, so dass die Befestigungsstange 18 gegen die Rückstellkraft der Halteelemente 40 ein Stück weit angehoben werden kann. Dies ermöglicht ein leichteres Verschieben der Lochsegmente 20 auf der Befestigungsstange 18.The bearings 14 ( Fig. 2 ) each have a rigid support element 38, on which one end 16 of the mounting rod 18 rests. They further each have a holding element 40 made of soft plastic, which rests against the mounting rod 18 and this holds down on the support element 38. The holding elements 40 are elastically compressible, so that the fixing rod 18 can be raised against the restoring force of the holding elements 40 a piece. This allows easier displacement of the hole segments 20 on the mounting rod 18th

Um die Lochsegmente 20 von der Befestigungsstange 18 abnehmen bzw. um sie auf die Befestigungsstange 18 aufsetzen zu können, weisen sie an der Unterseite 32 des Grundkörpers 22 einen Einführschlitz 42 für die Befestigungsstange 18 auf. Der Einführschlitz erstreckt sich in Längsrichtung der Befestigungsstange 18 und ist so breit, dass diese durch ihn hindurchgeführt werden kann. Der Grundkörper 22 weist desweiteren ein mit seinem freien Ende 44 den Einführschlitz auf einer Seite begrenzendes Bodenelement 46 auf, das zum Untergreifen der Befestigungsstange 18 bestimmt ist. Beim Aufsetzen des Lochsegments 20 auf die Befestigungsstange 18 wird diese zunächst durch den Einführschlitz 42 durchgeführt, anschließend wird das Lochsegment 20 nach vorne geschoben, so dass das Bodenelement 46 die Befestigungsstange 18 untergreift.In order to be able to remove the hole segments 20 from the attachment rod 18 or to be able to place them on the attachment rod 18, they have an insertion slot 42 for the attachment rod 18 on the underside 32 of the base body 22. The insertion slot extends in the longitudinal direction of the mounting rod 18 and is so wide that it can be passed through it. The base body 22 furthermore has a base element 46 delimiting the insertion slot on one side with its free end 44 on, which is intended to engage under the mounting bar 18. When placing the hole segment 20 on the mounting rod 18, this is first performed by the insertion slot 42, then the hole segment 20 is pushed forward, so that the bottom member 46, the mounting rod 18 engages under.

In seinem oberen, dem Einführschlitz 42 gegenüberliegenden Bereich weist der Führungskanal 30 zwei einander gegenüberliegende Absätze 48 auf. Auf diesen ist ein Druckstück 50 aufgelegt, das der Fixierung des Lochsegments 20 auf der Befestigungsstange 18 dient. Das Druckstück weist an seiner Unterseite eine Rinne 52 auf, deren Oberfläche etwa den gleichen Krümmungsradius hat wie die Befestigungsstange 18 und daher formschlüssig gegen diese angepresst werden kann. Es weist außerdem eine Federzunge 54 auf, die gegen die obere Begrenzungswand 56 des Führungskanals 30 anliegt und durch ihre Federkraft das Druckstück 50 gegen die Absätze 48 drückt. Nach oben stehen vom Druckstück 50 zwei Betätigungsnocken 58 ab, die eine zylindrische Form aufweisen. Die Betätigungsnocken 58 sind durch Löcher 60 in der Begrenzungswand 56 durchgeführt und ragen in eine zylinderförmige Aufnahmekontur 62 hinein.In its upper, the insertion slot 42 opposite region of the guide channel 30 has two opposite paragraphs 48 on. On this a pressure piece 50 is placed, which serves to fix the hole segment 20 on the mounting rod 18. The pressure piece has on its underside a groove 52 whose surface has approximately the same radius of curvature as the mounting rod 18 and therefore can be pressed against this form-fitting manner. It also has a spring tongue 54 which abuts against the upper boundary wall 56 of the guide channel 30 and presses the pressure piece 50 against the paragraphs 48 by their spring force. At the top of the pressure piece 50 are two actuating cam 58, which have a cylindrical shape. The actuating cams 58 are passed through holes 60 in the boundary wall 56 and protrude into a cylindrical receiving contour 62.

Zum Niederdrücken der Betätigungsnocken 58 und zum Anpressen des Druckstücks 50 an die Befestigungsstange 18, wodurch diese zwischen dem Druckstück 50 und dem Bodenelement 46 eingeklemmt wird, ist ein Betätigungselement 64 vorgesehen. Dieses weist einen Betätigungskörper 66 mit zylinderförmiger Außenkontur auf, der formschlüssig in die Aufnahmekontur 62 eingesetzt ist. Der Betätigungskörper 66 weist in seiner Mantelfläche zwei teilweise umlaufende Vertiefungen 68 auf, in die die Betätigungsnocken 58 eingreifen. Die Tiefe der Vertiefungen 68 nimmt in Umfangsrichtung des Betätigungskörpers 66 stetig ab, so dass der Betätigungskörper 66 als Exzenter wirkt. Wird er, wie in Fig. 4 dargestellt, im Uhrzeigersinn in der Aufnahmekontur 62 gedreht, so nimmt die Tiefe der Vertiefung 68 an der Stelle, an der der Betätigungsnocken 58 eingreift, ab, so dass der Betätigungsnocken 58 nach unten gedrückt wird. Zwischen zwei die Aufnahmekontur 62 begrenzenden Kanten 70 ragt ein am Betätigungskörper 66 angeformter, radial von ihm abstehender Handhebel 72 aus der Aufnahmekontur 62 heraus. Am Handhebel 72 kann zum Verdrehen des Betätigungskörpers 66 angegriffen werden, wobei er zwischen den Kanten 70, die als Endanschläge wirken, hin und her beweglich ist.For depressing the actuating cam 58 and for pressing the pressure piece 50 to the mounting rod 18, whereby it is clamped between the pressure piece 50 and the bottom member 46, an actuating element 64 is provided. This has an actuating body 66 with a cylindrical outer contour, which is inserted in a form-fitting manner into the receiving contour 62. The actuating body 66 has in its lateral surface two partially circumferential depressions 68, in which the actuating cam 58 engage. The depth of the recesses 68 decreases continuously in the circumferential direction of the actuating body 66, so that the actuating body 66 acts as an eccentric. Will he, as in Fig. 4 shown, rotated in the clockwise direction in the receiving contour 62, the depth of the recess 68 at the position at which the actuating cam 58 engages, decreases, so that the actuating cam 58th is pressed down. Between two the receiving contour 62 bounding edges 70 protrudes an integrally formed on the actuating body 66, radially projecting from it hand lever 72 out of the receiving contour 62 out. On the hand lever 72 can be attacked to rotate the actuator body 66, wherein it is movable back and forth between the edges 70 which act as end stops.

Das Druckstück 50 und das aus Betätigungskörper 66 und Handhebel 72 bestehende Betätigungselement 64 sind jeweils einstückig als Spritzgussteile aus Polyoxymethylen gefertigt.The pressure piece 50 and the actuation body 66 and hand lever 72 existing actuating element 64 are each made in one piece as injection molded parts made of polyoxymethylene.
