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 make the switching on and off of a circuit or the switching from one to another circuit or to make the dimming of electric motors, lighting equipment, etc.
  • a variety of contact systems can be applied.
  • the operation of such electrical switch can, for. B. by moving a slider, twisting a knob, pivot a rocker switch, etc. z. B. carried out from a starting position in one or more functional positions, the functional positions are often performed detent.
  • electrical switches are known in which the actuating element is additionally designed as a pushbutton, thus additionally having a printing function. Often, such electrical switches are also equipped with bulbs, thus z. B. a function display and / or search lighting can be realized.
  • This electrical rotary switch consists essentially of a movable contact parts receiving the housing base, and a housing lower part fixable housing upper part, on which at least one actuating element is movably mounted. It is provided a latching device, which latching mark the switching positions of the actuating element.
  • a design and arrangement has a consuming to be mounted and manufactured latching device, which is suitable only for a comparatively coarse executed screening.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide an electrical switch, the locking device is not only robust, and is particularly inexpensive and easy to assemble and manufacture, but which also allows, if necessary, a very fine screening.
  • such an electrical switch consists essentially of a fixed and the movable contact parts receiving housing lower part 1, as well as a fixable on the lower housing part 1
  • Upper housing part 2 which is associated with at least one adjustable actuating element 3.
  • a latching device is provided, which latchingly marks the switching positions of the actuating element 3.
  • the actuating element 3 is designed as a rotary knob and additionally equipped with a printing function. The rotary knob can therefore also be pressed like a pushbutton, as is often the case with so-called rotary dimmers.
  • the locking device comprises two locking spring 4 made of wire, which are fixed with its two end portions 5 on the lower housing part 1. With one issued latching lug 6, the two detent springs 4 come detent on a correspondingly executed detent track 7 of the associated actuating element 3 to the plant.
  • the lower housing part 1 for fixing the two detent springs 4 four molded receiving pockets 8, in which the end portions 5 of the two detent springs 4 are simply clipped.
  • the two detent springs 4 are each executed like a bow and provided centrally with a molded locking lug 6.
  • a first movable contact part is designed as a rotary potentiometer 9, which is arranged centrally below a configured as a push-button 10 second movable contact part is assigned. Both the rotary potentiometer 9 and the push button 10 are arranged on a circuit board held in the lower housing part 1 11, which is also provided with the necessary for the function of fixed contact parts.
  • a paragraph is formed in the underside of the running as a rotary knob actuator 3, which is provided on the outside with the plurality of locking teeth having detent track 7.
  • the latching track 7 has a plurality of ratchet teeth for the realization of a particularly finely executed grid.
  • the two detent springs 4 are also provided for a reliable return of the actuating element 3 after a To actuate the push button 10 to effect, that is, the actuator 3 as a push-button operated by the user, the two detent springs 4 are biased when pressed down and then put the actuator 3 reliably back to its original position.
  • FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 shows, held on the held in the lower housing part 1 circuit board 11 more than LED designed bulbs 12 are arranged.
  • the bulbs 12 are intended to illuminate the trained as a light guide actuator 3. So that not the entire actuating element 3 is illuminated, this is covered by a cap 13 so that a defined light exit region 14 is formed.
  • the light exit region 14 is associated with the foot region of the actuating element 3, so that in conjunction with the upper housing part 2, a narrow light ring is formed around the actuating element 3.
  • a shapely completion for installation on a building wall forms a holding the electrical switch receiving cover 15.
  • a safe and accurate storage of the executed as a rotary knob actuator via a circumferentially integrally formed on the support bevel 16, with a trained, to the underside of the housing top 2 integrally formed abutment 17 cooperates.
