Das erste und das zweite feste Kontaktelement 8, 9 sind dabei zu beiden Seiten des in etwa mittig im Hilfsschalter 2 geführten beweglichen Kontaktelementes 3 angeordnet.The first and the second fixed
Der einstückige Kontakthalter 4 weist einen Durchbruch 10 auf zur Aufnahme eines Federelements 12. Das Federelement 12 liegt also mit anderen Worten in dem Kontakthalter 4 ein. Darüber hinaus ist der Kontakthalter 4 konstruktiv derart ausgebildet, dass er ein Halteelement 11 aufweist, wobei die beiden Elemente an gegenüberliegenden Seiten des beweglichen Kontaktelementes 3 angeordnet sind bzw. angreifen. Vorzugsweise ist das Federelement 12 direkt mit dem beweglichen Kontaktelement 3 verbunden, während das Halteelement 11 als eine Art Druckstempel an dem beweglichen Kontaktelement 3 angreift. Das Halteelement 11 ist einstückig mit einem Verbindungskopf 13 verbunden, der in Kontaktierungsrichtung 5 verläuft und aus der als Ankoppelfläche dienenden Stirnseite 14 des Hilfsschalters 2 in Richtung Schaltgerät 1 herausragt. Der Verbindungskopf 13 dient dabei als Koppelelement zur Übertragung der Schaltstellung des Schaltgerätes 1 an den Hilfsschalter 2.The one-
Während der Verbindungskopf 13 des Halteelementes 11 einerseits mit einem entsprechenden Gegenstück 15 des Schaltgerätes 1 in Verbindung steht und das Halteelement 11 andererseits in der gezeigten AUS-Stellung des Schaltgerätes 1 das bewegliche Kontaktelement 3 in einer geöffneten Stellung hält, greift an der gegenüberliegenden Seite des beweglichen Kontaktelementes 3 das Federelement 12 des Kontakthalters 4 an. Mit anderen Worten hält das Halteelement 11 das bewegliche Kontaktelement 3 entgegen der Federkraft des Federelementes 3 in der geöffneten Stellung.While the connecting
Auch an dem gegenüberliegenden Ende des Kontakthalters 4 ist einstückig ein weiterer Verbindungskopf 13' angebracht. Auch dieser zweite Verbindungskopf 13' verläuft in Kontaktierungsrichtung 5 und ragt aus der gegenüberliegenden Ankoppelfläche 14' des Hilfsschalters 2 heraus.Also at the opposite end of the
Bei einer Änderung der Schaltstellung des Schaltgerätes 1, also bei einem Übergang von der AUS-Stellung in die EIN-Stellung des Schaltgerätes 1, wird das Halteelement 11 über den Verbindungskopf 13 durch das entsprechend vorgesehene Gegenstück 15 des Schaltgerätes 1 in Schaltrichtung 16 des Schaltgerätes 1 bewegt. Dadurch wird das bewegliche Kontaktelement 3 nicht mehr durch das Halteelement 11 abgestützt. Durch das Federelement 12 wird es in Richtung Schaltgerät 1 und damit in eine geschlossene Stellung überführt, bei der sich die Schaltstücke 6 des beweglichen Kontaktelementes 3 mit den Schaltstücken 7 der festen Kontaktelemente 8, 9 berühren. Der Hilfsschalter 2 ist also dergestalt aufgebaut, dass die Schaltrichtung 16 des Schaltgerätes 1, genauer gesagt die Bewegungsrichtung des Gegenstückes 15, bei einer Änderung des Schaltzustandes des Schaltgerätes 1 parallel zu der Kontaktierungsrichtung 5 des Hilfsschalters 2, also parallel zu der Bewegungsrichtung des beweglichen Kontaktelements 3 verläuft.In a change in the switching position of the

Bei der dargestellten AUS-Stellung des Schaltgerätes 1 wird das bewegliche Kontaktelement 3 durch das Federelement 12 in einer geschlossenen Stellung gehalten, bei der sich die Schaltstücke 6, 7 des beweglichen Kontaktelements 3 und der festen Kontaktelemente 8, 9 berühren. In diesem Fall liegt das auf das bewegliche Kontaktelement 3 weisende eine Ende des Halteelementes 11 frei, dass heißt es steht nicht mit dem beweglichen Kontaktelement 3 in Berührung.In the illustrated OFF position of the
Bei einem Übergang des Schaltgerätes 1 von der AUS-Stellung in die EIN-Stellung wird der endseitig an dem mit dem Federelement 12 verbundenen Kontakthalter 4 angeordneten Verbindungskopf 13' in Schaltrichtung 16 bewegt. Dabei wird auch das Federelement 12 in Schaltrichtung 16 gezogen. Das Federelement 12 ist dabei derart ausgestaltet, dass die Federwirkung nicht ausreicht, das bewegliche Kontaktelement 3 weiter in der geschlossenen Stellung zu halten, wenn sich das Schaltgerät 1 in der EIN-Stellung befindet. Mit anderen Worten gibt das Federelement 12 das bewegliche Kontaktelement 3 frei, so dass sich dies in eine geöffnete Stellung begeben kann, in der sich die Schaltstücke 6, 7 voneinander lösen. Hierzu drückt das Halteelement 11 mit seinem auf das bewegliche Kontaktelement 3 zu weisenden Ende das bewegliche Kontaktelement 3 in Kontaktierungsrichtung 5.At a transition of the

Um fehlerhafte Verbindungen bei Anschluss des Hilfsschalters 2, beispielsweise mittels eines externen Steckers, zu verhindern, sind die Abmessungen der Ausnehmungen 18, 18' zudem auch unterschiedlich dimensioniert derart, dass sie von der durch die jeweilige Montageposition definierten Hilfsschalterfunktion abhängen. Die zur Verstecksicherung dienende Kodierung der Ausnehmungen 18, 18' umfasst dabei sowohl eine Kodierung der Breite als auch der Tiefe der Ausnehmungen 18, 18'. Dabei gilt, dass sich jeweils sowohl die Breiten der Ausnehmungen 18, 18' als auch deren Tiefen voneinander unterscheiden, je nachdem, ob es sich um einen Hilfsschalter 2 mit Schließerfunktion, einen Hilfsschalter 2 mit Öffnerfunktion oder aber einen Spulenadapter 21 handelt.In order to prevent faulty connections when connecting the
Vorzugsweise ist die Breite A1 der Ausnehmungen 18' an derjenigen Ankoppelfläche 14' des Hilfsschalters 2, die einen externen Stecker aufnimmt, wenn der Hilfsschalter 2 als Schließer verwendet wird, größer als die Breite A2 der Ausnehmungen 18 an der Ankoppelfläche 14 des Hilfsschalters 2, die einen externen Stecker aufnimmt, wenn der Hilfsschalter 2 als Öffner verwendet wird. Diese ist wiederum größer als die Breite A3 der Ausnehmungen 18" an der Ankoppelfläche 22 des Spulenadapters 21. Zugleich ist vorzugsweise die Tiefe B1 der Ausnehmungen 18' an derjenigen Ankoppelfläche 14' des Hilfsschalters 2, die einen externen Stecker aufnimmt, wenn der Hilfsschalter 2 als Schließer verwendet wird, geringer als die Tiefe B2 der Ausnehmungen 18 an derjenigen Ankoppelfläche 14 des Hilfsschalters 2, die einen externen Stecker aufnimmt, wenn der Hilfsschalter 2 als Öffner verwendet wird, und diese ist wiederum kleiner als die Tiefe B3 der Ausnehmungen 18" an der Ankoppelfläche 22 des Spulenadapters 21.Preferably, the width A1 of the recesses 18 'at that coupling surface 14' of the
Selbstverständlich ist die Erfindung auch mit Hilfsschaltern 2 verwendbar, die statt der Steckkontakte 17, 17' andere Kontaktelemente benutzen, beispielsweise Schraubkontakte oder dergleichen. Sie ist mit anderen Worten unabhängig von der verwendeten Anschlusstechnik.Of course, the invention with

Anstelle eines frontseitigen Aufbaus, wie er beispielsweise in den
Zur Übertragung der Schaltstellung des Schaltgerätes 1 an den Hilfsschalter 2 ist ein als Koppelelement dienender Verbindungszapfen 31 vorgesehen, der senkrecht zur Kontaktierungsrichtung 5 des Kontakthalters 4 verläuft und in den Kontakthalter 4 eingreift. Hierzu ist zum einen in der Seitenfläche 19 des Hilfsschalters 2 eine Öffnung 32 zur Aufnahme des Verbindungszapfens 31 vorgesehen. Die Aufnahmeöffnung 32 ist durch eine vorzugsweise ausbrechbare Abdeckung 33 verschlossen (vgl.
Zum anderen weist der Kontakthalter 4 eine entsprechende Kontaktöffnung 34 auf, in die der Verbindungszapfen 31 kraftund/oder formschlüssig eingreift. Zur Begrenzung der Einstecktiefe des Verbindungszapfens 31 in die Kontaktöffnung 34 des Kontakthalters 4 ist an zumindest einer Seitenfläche 35 des Verbindungszapfens 31 eine quer zur Einsteckrichtung 36 verlaufende Begrenzungsschiene 37 angeformt. Stößt diese Begrenzungsschiene 37 an den Rand der im Kontakthalter 4 vorgesehenen Kontaktöffnung 34, so ist die Endposition des Verbindungszapfens 31 erreicht, vergleiche
Selbstverständlich ist es ebenfalls möglich, andere Arten von Verbindungszapfen 31 zu verwenden. So zeigt beispielsweise
Die Funktionsweise der zuvor beschriebenen Anordnung ist wie folgt: Der aus der dem Schaltgerät 1 nächsten Seitenfläche 19 des Hilfsschalters 2 herausragende Verbindungszapfen 31 wird durch ein entsprechend im Schaltgerät 1 vorgesehenes Gegenstück (nicht abgebildet) angetrieben, wenn sich die Schaltstellung des Schaltgerätes 1 ändert. Dieses Gegenstück erfüllt damit die gleiche Funktion wie das in den
Bei den seitlich angeordneten Hilfsschaltern 2 handelt es sich insbesondere um solche Hilfsschalter 2, wie sie in den
Ganz besonders vorteilhaft ist eine weitere Ausführungsform der Erfindung, bei welcher der Verbindungskopf 13 am Kontakthalter 4 nicht abnehmbar, sondern über eine Drehgelenkverbindung mit dem Kontakthalter 4 verbunden ist. Dadurch kann der Verbindungskopf 13 je nach Anwendungsfall in die gewünschte Position gedreht werden. Während er also bei einer frontseitigen Anordnung des Hilfsschalters 2 in seiner Normalposition verbleibt, vergleiche
Wird der in diese abgewinkelte Stellung verdrehte Verbindungskopf 13 nun mit einem entsprechenden Gegenstück (nicht abgebildet) im Schaltgerät 1 verrastet, entspricht also die Seitenfläche 19, zu welcher der Verbindungskopf 13 hingedreht ist, der Ankoppelfläche des Hilfsschalters 2 mit dem Schaltgerät 1, so kann eine Betätigung des Kontakthalters 4 über den Verbindungskopf 13 erfolgen, vgl.
Sämtliche oben beschriebenen Ausführungsformen und konstruktive Varianten der Erfindung lassen sich miteinander kombinieren. So ist es beispielsweise möglich, einen bei Drehung um 180° um seine Querachse zwei unterschiedliche Funktionen (Öffner, Schließer) ausübenden Hilfsschalter 2 vorzusehen, der sowohl für eine frontseitigen, als auch für einen seitliche Montage geeignet ist. Hierzu weist der Kontakthalter 4 sowohl einen Verbindungskopf 13 bzw. eine Befestigungsvorrichtung 23 zur Aufnahme eines Verbindungskopfes 13, als auch eine Kontaktöffnung 34 für einen Verbindungszapfen 31 auf. Dieser Hilfsschalter 2 kann dabei Steckkontakte 17 z.B. zur Aufnahme eines externen Steckers aufweisen, die ggf. in kodierten Ausnehmungen 18 angeordnet sind, oder aber andere Anschlusskontakte, beispielsweise Käfigzugfedern oder dergleichen.All of the above-described embodiments and structural variants of the invention can be combined. Thus, it is possible, for example, to provide a rotation of 180 ° about its transverse axis two different functions (opener, closer) performing
