Abstract

Es wird ein elektrischer Schalter vorgeschlagen, der im Wesentlichen aus einem ein Oberteil und ein Sockelteil aufweisenden Gehäuse besteht, welches zur Aufnahme der notwendigen feststehenden Kontaktteile und bewegbaren Kontaktteile vorgesehen ist und an dessen Oberteil zumindest ein Schaltstück schwenkbar gelagert ist, welches einerseits über ein federbelastetes Druckstück mit zumindest einem bewegbaren Kontaktteil zusammenwirkt und welches andererseits zur Festlegung einer Betätigungswippe vorgesehen ist, deren lichtdurchlässige Bereiche ausleuchtbar sind. Zu dem Zweck, einen elektrischen Schalter zu schaffen, bei dem sich ein besonders robust ausgeführtes Leuchtengerät bei Bedarf ohne Änderungen an dem bestehenden elektrischen Schalter vornehmen zu müssen, besonders einfach anbringen lässt und auch beim Vorhandensein von zwei Betätigungselementen die Montage lediglich eines einzigen Leuchtengerätes notwendig ist, weist das Leuchtengerät zumindest ein Leuchtmittel auf und ist das Leuchtengerät mit einem am ersten Gehäuse festzulegenden zweiten Gehäuse versehen, wobei das Leuchtengerät mit federbelasteten Kontaktelementen versehen ist, die einerseits mit dem Leuchtmittel in Verbindung stehen und die andererseits mit im ersten Gehäuse angeordneten feststehenden Kontaktteilen kontaktgebend in Anlage kommen, wozu im ersten Gehäuse entsprechende Öffnungen für die federbelasteten Kontaktelemente des Leuchtengerätes vorhanden sind.

It is proposed an electrical switch, which consists essentially of a top part and a base part having housing, which is provided for receiving the necessary fixed contact parts and movable contact parts and on the upper part at least one contact piece is pivotally mounted, which on the one hand via a spring-loaded pressure piece cooperates with at least one movable contact part and which, on the other hand, is provided for fixing an actuating rocker whose light-permeable areas can be illuminated. For the purpose of creating an electrical switch in which to have to make a particularly robust running light fixture if necessary without changes to the existing electrical switch, particularly easy to install and even in the presence of two actuators, the installation of only a single lighting device is necessary , the luminaire device has at least one luminous means and the luminaire device is provided with a second housing to be fixed to the first housing, wherein the luminaire device is provided with spring-loaded contact elements which are connected on the one hand to the luminous means and which on the other hand make contact with fixed contact parts arranged in the first housing come into abutment, including in the first housing corresponding openings for the spring-loaded contact elements of the lighting device are available.
