  • the shift gate has two against each other at an angle hired sliding surfaces on which alternately a lever of the lever assembly slides along and thereby causes a change in length of the rocker switch.
  • the lever assembly is formed by two levers arranged in a U-shape, which are integrally connected to one another by a web and held by at least one Anformung, which is attached to the manual operating element or on the rocker switch.
  • a switching device in particular a key switch, with an actuating element, for.
  • a rocker switch known, which returns to actuation in its initial position, with a thereof acted upon slider with at least one hinged hinged pendulum and with a switching element for actuating at least one contact arrangement, which cooperates with the slider and the pendulum.
  • the pendulum is integrally connected to the slider articulated, z. B. via a film hinge.

  • the achievable with the present invention consist in particular in that reduce the manufacturing costs for the switch insert, since the housing base including the connections for the electrical lines, the contact rocker, the switch contacts and the pivot engagement for the pivot of the rocker both can be used for the rocker switch / rocker switch as well as for the print sequence switch / print follower.
  • a rocker switch / rocker switch a rocker is inserted without inserted cross-actuator, while a cross-actuator is inserted into the rocker switch to implement a Druckfolalter / pressure follower.
  • single-switch / single-push buttons for a single circuit as well as double-switch / double-push buttons for two separate circuits can be realized.
  • the lower housing part 3 has on its underside or on its side surfaces two terminals 4, 5 (screw terminals or plug-in connections) for electrical lines. At its top, at least two pivot-engagements 8 are provided, which cooperate with pivot 13 of the rocker switch 10, whereby a pivotal movement of the rocker switch 10 within predetermined limits relative to the housing base 3 is made possible.
  • the rocker switch 10 has on its underside a switch plunger 14 which dips into the housing lower part 2 and there acts on a contact rocker 6, to effect such switching operations (ON-switching / OFF-switching, Tast-voltage pulse), as described in the FIGS. 6 to 9 is explained in more detail.
  • a switch plunger 14 which dips into the housing lower part 2 and there acts on a contact rocker 6, to effect such switching operations (ON-switching / OFF-switching, Tast-voltage pulse), as described in the FIGS. 6 to 9 is explained in more detail.
  • At the top of the rocker switch 10 is at least one receiving space 16 for the transverse actuator 20th
  • the transverse actuator 20 has a first inclined surface 21, a second inclined surface 22, a first recess 23 and a second recess 24, wherein for further explanation of the operation of these embodiments on the FIGS. 6 to 9 is referenced. Of importance is also held within the transverse actuator 20 spring 26 which allows a resilient, translational movement of the transverse actuator 20 within the receiving space 16 of the rocker 10 and at rest, a return of the transverse actuator 20 in a central position (central position ) causes.
  • the upper housing part 28 can be latched to the lower housing part 3 via a plurality of latching means 29 and, in its upper region, has a guide 30 for guiding the longitudinal actuating member 33 which dips into the housing upper part 28.
  • 33 springs 38 are inserted between spring receptacles 31 of the housing upper part 28 and the underside of the longitudinal actuator, which effect a resilient return of a pressed toward the housing lower part 2 longitudinal actuator 33 back into a rest position.
  • locking means 39 provided on the lower side of the longitudinal actuating member 33 prevent the longitudinal actuating member 33 from sliding out / falling out of the guide 30 of the housing upper part 28.
  • Of importance are two provided on the underside of the longitudinal actuating member 33, with the transverse Actuator 20 cooperating actuating arms 36, 37 (see also the FIGS. 6 to 9 ).
  • FIG. 2 an electrical installation device 46 is shown in the form of a single-switch / single-button, consisting of the switch insert 1, which by a central disk 41, a centrally disposed within the central disk 41 and cooperating with the longitudinal actuator 33 hand operation button 42nd for single switch / single pushbutton and a cover frame 45 is completed.
  • a switch insert for a single switch / single pushbutton is shown in which the lower housing part 3 is connected to the upper housing part 28. It is the springs and movable mounted in the switch insert 1 longitudinal actuator 33 to recognize.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 are a view of one and a perspective view of a rocker switch for a single switch / single button shown.
  • the rocker switch 10 has two receiving spaces 16, but in only one receiving space, a transverse actuator 20 springs and is movably guided / held.
  • a transverse actuator 20 springs and is movably guided / held.
  • a plurality of guide / retaining ribs 17 are provided.
  • the formed in the form of a coil spring spring 26 on the transverse actuator 20 the latter is provided with two opposing rod-shaped spring holders 25.
  • the transverse actuator 20 is deflected from its rest position - see the two possible lateral directions of movement indicative double arrow - the spring 26 is pressed against one of these spring stop surfaces 18 and the spring 26 is compressed. Consequently, the spring 26 has the tendency / task, the transverse actuator 20 always returned to its rest position, as soon as possible.
  • transverse actuator 20 Essential components of the transverse actuator 20 are the two inclined surfaces 21, 22 and the two recesses 23, 24th
  • FIGS. 4, 5 the two required to pivot the rocker switch 10, engaging in trunnion engagement 8 pivot 13.
  • Fig. 5 Furthermore, the switch plunger 14 can be seen.
  • FIGS. 6, 7, 8, 9 Side sections are shown by a switch insert to explain the operation of the switch insert 1 on the basis of a switching operation.
  • Fig. 6 shows as a starting position a through-connected (closed) switch, ie there is a closed circuit from the terminal 4 with its located in the switching chamber switching contact 4, which contacts the switching contact of the contact pad 6, further on the rocker bearing of the contact rocker 6 (rocker mount), which leads to connection 5.
  • the rocker switch 10 is inclined to the left, consequently, the switch plunger 14 is right of the rocker bearing. It is indicated by means of a spring 15, that the switching plunger 14 is resiliently guided / locked within the switching rocker 10.
  • the transverse actuator 20 is in its rest position in a central position in relation to the switching rocker 10, which is effected by the spring 26. It can be seen the two engaging in the spring 26 spring mounts 25 of the transverse actuator 20.
  • the switch should now be opened during the subsequent switching operation (OFF switching).
  • an electrical installation device 47 is shown in the form of a double-switch / double-button, consisting of the switch insert 1, which by a central disk 41, two arranged within the central disk 41 and with the longitudinal actuators 34, 35 cooperating manual operation knobs 43, 44 for double switch / double push button and a cover 45 is completed.

  • each switching rocker 11, 12 has two pivot pins 13.
  • the contact rocker 6 is able to take two stable switching positions, so as to enable a permanent ON / OFF switching.
  • the contact rocker 6 springs after being acted upon by the longitudinal actuator 33 always back to its rest position, which z. B. the position "OFF-switching" corresponds.
  • the "ON" position is always taken only for a short period of time during the actuation of the longitudinal actuator 33 so as to effect a strobe voltage pulse.
  • the transverse actuator 20 need only have an inclined surface 21 and only one recess 24.
