Definitions

  • the present invention is based on a conceived according to the preamble of the main claim electrical switch.
  • Such electrical switches are generally intended to cause the switching on and off of a circuit or the switching from one to another circuit.
  • a variety of contact systems can be applied.
  • the operation of such electrical switch can, for. B. by pivoting a rocker switch from a starting position into one or more functional positions, wherein the functional positions can be executed detent and / or groping.
  • series control switch in which two rockers are arranged side by side, each of which can be operated separately.
  • electrical switches are known in which the actuating element is designed as a pushbutton or as a rotary knob. Often, such electrical switches are equipped with bulbs, so either z. B. a function display and / or search lighting can be realized.
  • This electric rocker switch consists essentially of an upper housing part and a housing base part and two pivotally mounted in the housing switching pieces, which interact on the one hand via a spring-loaded pressure piece directly with at least one associated movable contact part and which are on the other hand provided with at least one rocker switch, wherein in each of the two switching pieces an upper-side open receiving chamber for receiving a lighting device is present so that the translucent areas of the two rocker arms are illuminated.
  • a design and arrangement requires correspondingly adapted switching pieces, wherein for each rocker switch own luminaire device -also two luminaire devices- must be mounted, which are also quite filigree.
  • the present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide an electrical switch in which a particularly robust running lights device if necessary to make without changes to the existing electrical switch, particularly easy to install and even in the presence of two actuators mounting only one single luminaire device is necessary.
  • a thus formed electrical switch is particularly advantageous that the lighting device is particularly well protected against damage on the back of the electrical switch is set.
  • it is particularly advantageous that such a luminaire device is particularly easy to handle and thus an existing electrical switch can, if necessary, be equipped with a luminaire device particularly quickly and easily.
  • such an electrical switch essentially consists of a top part 1 and a base part 2 having first housing 3, which for receiving the necessary fixed contact parts. 4 and at least one movable contact part 5 is provided.
  • first housing 3 which for receiving the necessary fixed contact parts. 4 and at least one movable contact part 5 is provided.
  • two switching pieces 6 are pivotally mounted, which cooperates on the one hand in each case via a spring-loaded pressure piece with the associated movable contact part 5 and which on the other hand in each case for fixing a rocker switch 7 is provided.
  • the electrical switch is designed as a series control switch, which means that the two contact pieces 6 and the two operating rockers 7 can be actuated separately.
  • a lighting device 8 can be defined as needed on the first housing 3 of the electrical switch.
  • the lighting device 8 is provided for receiving two bulbs 9, which are designed as LEDs. However, it can certainly be provided if necessary more than two bulbs 9.
  • the lighting device 8 has its own second housing 10, wherein two spring-loaded contact elements 11 are provided, which are connected on the one hand with the two bulbs 9 and the other come into contact with arranged in the first housing 3 fixed contact parts 4 contact.
  • corresponding openings 12 for the spring-loaded contact elements 11 of the luminaire device 8 are provided for this purpose in the first housing 3 or in the base part 2.
  • the second housing 10 of the lighting device 8 consists mainly of a two dome-like projections having main part 14 and a rear end forming the cover part 15 via a clip assembly 16, the cover member 15 positionally secure on the main part 14 can be fixed.
  • a circuit board 17 is held, which is equipped with the lighting means 10, the spring-loaded contact elements 11 and other electrical / electronic components.
  • Another electrical / electronic component is designed as a terminal 18, to which the luminaire device 8, the neutral conductor is connected.
  • the terminal 18 is the one of the two and the two bulbs 9 are associated with the other of the two dome-like projections of the main part 14 of the second housing 10.
  • the other dome-like approach of the main part 14 of the second housing 10 and the two bulbs 9 are designed so that they are assigned directly to the bottom of the two rocker arms 7 and come to rest behind the two translucent areas 19.
  • the end portion of the other dome-like approach of the main part 14 of the second housing 10 is closed with two each associated with a light source 9 scattering lenses 13.
  • Each of the two rocker switches 7 in this case has its own transparent area 19 in the manner of a light exit window.
  • the rest behind shoulder-like designed locking portions 21 come into abutment, which are present on the base part 2 of the first housing 3 of the electrical switch .
  • the two dome-like projections of the main part 14 of the second housing 10 thereby surround the first housing 3 of the electric switch like a clip from behind, so that a quick and secure installation of the lighting device 8 is ensured at the back of the electrical switch with a particularly simple handling.
  • the two regions 19 of the two actuating rockers 7 which can be illuminated are backlit, if necessary, in functional terms.
  • the second housing 10 of the lighting device 8 is effectively protected against unauthorized opening.
