Die Betätigungsvorrichtung 1 ist gemäss Figur 1 in eine Öffnung 4 eines Spülkastens 2 in an sich bekannter Weise lösbar eingesetzt. Sie besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem Dekorelement A, einer Abdeckplatte B und einem Befestigungsrahmen C. Die Öffnung 4 befindet sich insbesondere in einer Wandung 3 des Spülkastens 2. Grundsätzlich kann die Befestigungsvorrichtung 1 aber auch in eine andere Öffnung eingesetzt werden. Von der Betätigungsvorrichtung 1 sind im montierten Zustand gemäss Figur 3 lediglich das Dekorelement A und zwei Betätigungstasten 5 und 5' sichtbar. Die Tasten 5 und 5' dienen zum Auslösen unterschiedlicher Spülwassennengen und ragen durch eine entsprechende Öffnung einer Dekorplatte 18 hindurch. Die Dekorplatte 18 weist eine Frontseite 7 auf und ist in einem Halterahmen 10 auswechselbar gelagert. Die Dekorplatte 18 kann aus an sich beliebigen Materialien hergestellt werden. Beispielsweise kann die Dekorplatte aus Glas, Holz, Stein, Metall oder Kunststoff hergestellt sein. Sie kann zudem als Spiegel ausgebildet sein.The actuating device 1 is according to FIG. 1 used in an opening 4 of a cistern 2 in a conventional manner releasably. It consists essentially of a decorative element A, a cover plate B and a mounting frame C. The opening 4 is located in particular in a wall 3 of the cistern 2. In principle, however, the fastening device 1 can also be used in another opening. From the actuator 1 are in the assembled state according to FIG. 3 only the decorative element A and two operating buttons 5 and 5 'visible. The keys 5 and 5 'are used to trigger different Spülwassennengen and protrude through a corresponding opening of a decorative plate 18 therethrough. The decorative plate 18 has a front side 7 and is mounted replaceably in a holding frame 10. The decorative plate 18 may be made of any materials. For example, the decorative plate made of glass, wood, stone, metal or plastic can be made. It can also be designed as a mirror.

Der Halterahmen 10 umgibt wie ersichtlich die Dekorplatte 18 und besitzt eine Frontseite 24, die gemäss Figur 2 im Wesentlichen bündig ist mit der Frontseite 7 der Dekorplatte 18. Der Halterahmen 10 kann an sich aus einem beliebigen geeigneten Material hergestellt werden. Vorzugsweise ist der Halterahmen jedoch aus einem gegossenen Material und insbesondere aus Zinkdruckguss hergestellt. Ein Rahmen aus Zinkdruckguss ist besonders stabil und auch in ästhetischer Hinsicht vorteilhaft. Der Halterahmen 10 kann aber auch aus einem anderen Material, beispielsweise aus Kunststoff oder Stein hergestellt sein.The support frame 10 surrounds as can be seen the decorative plate 18 and has a front side 24, according to FIG. 2 is substantially flush with the front side 7 of the decorative plate 18. The support frame 10 can be made of any suitable material per se. Preferably, however, the holding frame is made of a cast material and in particular of zinc die-cast. A die-cast zinc frame is particularly stable and also aesthetically pleasing. The support frame 10 may also be made of a different material, such as plastic or stone.

Die Dekorplatte 18 ist gemäss den Figuren 1 und 2 von der Rückseite in den Halterahmen 10 eingelegt. Damit die Dekorplatte 18 im Halterahmen 10 stabil gehalten ist, weist die Dekorplatte 18 gemäss Figur 2 einen nach aussen vorstehenden Rand 9 auf, der an einem umlaufenden Rand 11 des Halterahmens 10 rückseitig anliegt. Der Halterahmen 10 ist auf die Abdeckplatte B lösbar aufgesetzt und insbesondere aufgerastet. Hierzu besitzt der Halterahmen 10 innenseitig und im Abstand zum Rand 11 eine Nut 12, in welche Rastelemente 13 eingerastet sind. Gemäss der Figur 2 ist diesen Rastelement 13 jeweils eine Ausnehmung 12 zugeordnet, in die zum Lösen der Verrastung ein hier nicht gezeigtes Werkzeug einsetzbar ist. Ist der Halterahmen 10 auf die Abdeckplatte B aufgerastet, so liegt die Dekorplatte 18 mit ihrer Rückseite an der Abdeckplatte B an. Die Dekorplatte 18 ist somit einerseits vom Rand 11 und andererseits von der Abdeckplatte B sicher gehalten. Die Dekorplatte 18 kann nach dem Lösen des Dekorelementes A von der Abdeckplatte B einfach ausgewechselt werden. Hierzu wird die Abdeckplatte B zusammen mit dem Dekorelement A vom Befestigungsrahmen C gelöst. Dies kann in an sich bekannter Weise durch Verschieben der Abdeckplatte B erfolgen. Hierzu wird die Abdeckplatte B mit dem Dekorelement A parallel zur Wandung 3 nach oben geschoben. Hierbei werden die in Figur 5 gezeigten Befestigungslaschen 19 nach oben bewegt und dadurch wird der Eingriff dieser Befestigungslaschen 19 am Befestigungsrahmen 10 aufgehoben. Schliesslich werden am unteren Rand angeordnete Befestigungselemente 20 von der Abdeckplatte B gelöst. Der Rahmen 10 kann nun mit de Dekorplatte 18 durch Entrasten der Rastelemente 13 wie erwähnt von der Abdeckplatte B gelöst werden. Die Dekorplatte 18 ist nun frei und kann aus dem Halterahmen 10 herausgenommen werden. Ist die Dekorplatte 18 ausgewechselt so kann das Dekorelement A wieder auf die Abdeckplatte B aufgerastet werden. Die Abdeckplatte B kann nun mit dem aufgesetzten Dekorelement A wieder am Befestigungsrahmen 10 befestigt werden. Alternativ ist es auch möglich, zuerst die Abdeckplatte B allein und anschliessend das Dekorelement A zu montieren.The decorative plate 18 is according to the Figures 1 and 2 inserted from the back in the holding frame 10. Thus, the decorative plate 18 is held stable in the support frame 10, the decorative plate 18 according to FIG. 2 an outwardly projecting edge 9 which rests against a peripheral edge 11 of the holding frame 10 at the back. The holding frame 10 is detachably mounted on the cover plate B and in particular snapped. For this purpose, the holding frame 10 has inside and at a distance from the edge 11 a groove 12, in which locking elements 13 are engaged. According to the FIG. 2 Each of these locking element 13 is associated with a recess 12, in which a not shown here tool can be used to release the latch. If the holding frame 10 is snapped onto the cover plate B, then the decorative plate 18 bears against the cover plate B with its rear side. The decorative plate 18 is thus held securely on the one hand by the edge 11 and on the other hand by the cover plate B. The decorative plate 18 can be easily replaced after the release of the decorative element A of the cover plate B. For this purpose, the cover plate B is released together with the decorative element A from the mounting frame C. This can be done in a conventional manner by moving the cover plate B. For this purpose, the cover plate B is pushed with the decorative element A parallel to the wall 3 upwards. Here are the in FIG. 5 shown mounting tabs 19 moves upward and thereby the engagement of these mounting tabs 19 is lifted on the mounting frame 10. Finally, arranged at the bottom of fasteners 20 are released from the cover plate B. The frame 10 can now be solved with the decorative plate 18 by unlocking the locking elements 13 as mentioned by the cover plate B. The decorative plate 18 is now free and can be removed from the support frame 10. If the decorative plate 18 replaced so the decorative element A can be snapped back onto the cover plate B. The cover B can now be attached to the attached decorative element A again on the mounting frame 10. Alternatively, it is also possible first to mount the cover plate B alone and then the decorative element A.

Die genannten Tasten 5 und 5' sind in an sich bekannter Weise in der Abdeckplatte B gelagert. Dazu besitzen die Tasten 5 und 5' jeweils Gelenkarme 14, die an einem oberen Ende mit einem Lager 17 der Abdeckplatte B verbunden sind, wie die Figur 5 zeigt. Mit jeweils einem Federelement 16 sind die Betätigungstasten 5 und 5' in der Grundstellung gehalten. Mit den Betätigungstasten 5 und 5' arbeiten hier nicht gezeigte Drückstangen zusammen, die jeweils durch eine Öffnung 23 eines Steges 15 hindurch ragen.The said keys 5 and 5 'are mounted in a conventional manner in the cover B.
