Abstract

Elektrischer Schleifkontaktschalter mit einem Gehäuse, in dem ein gemeinsamer Kontaktkörper und zumindest ein Wahlkontaktkörper mit einer Kontaktfläche angeordnet sind. Benachbart zur Kontaktfläche des Wahlkontaktkörpers ist ein aus elektrisch isolierendem Material bestehender Schleifbereich angeordnet. Ein Kontaktgeber, der in ständig elektrisch leitender Verbindung mit dem gemeinsamen Kontaktkörper steht und zumindest einen Schleifkontakt aufweist, steht entweder in elektrisch leitender Verbindung mit dem Wahlkontaktkörper oder berührt den Schleifbereich. Ein aktivierbares Betätigungsglied ist ferner so im Gehäuse angeordnet, dass es bei Betätigung den zumindest einen Schleifkontakt des Kontaktgebers auf einer Schleifbahn schleifend von der Kontaktfläche des Wahlkontaktkörpers in den Schleifbereich bewegt und/oder aus dem Schleifbereich zur Kontaktfläche des Wahlkontaktkörpers bewegt. In der Schleifbahn sind ferner Zonen ausgebildet, die von den Schleifkontakten während des Überfahrens des Schleifbereichs nicht berührt werden.

Figure imgaf001
Electric sliding contact switch with a housing in which a common contact body and at least one optional contact body are arranged with a contact surface. Adjacent to the contact surface of the selective contact body, a grinding area consisting of electrically insulating material is arranged. A contactor, which is in constantly electrically conductive connection with the common contact body and has at least one sliding contact, is either in electrically conductive connection with the selector contact body or touches the grinding area. An activatable actuator is further arranged in the housing such that, when actuated, it moves the at least one sliding contact of the contactor on a grinding path from the contact surface of the selection contact body into the grinding region and / or moves it out of the grinding region to the contact surface of the elective contact body. Furthermore, zones are formed in the grinding path which are not touched by the sliding contacts during the passage of the grinding area.
