  • the actuating element 1, 2 is moved back against the operating direction A back to its original position. From the initial position, it is then also possible to move the actuating element 1, 2 further counter to the actuating direction A, that is, along a movement in the direction of revision R in the revision position.
  • a spring element 11 between the actuating plate 3 and the respective actuating button 1, 2 is arranged.
  • the spring element 11 here has the shape of a leaf spring and presses the operation buttons 1, 2 away from the actuator plate 3 with a spring force.
  • the way of the operation buttons 1, 2 is limited by the stop unit 5, wherein it can be said that the spring element 11 and the stop unit 5 hold here the operation buttons 1, 2 in their initial position, and thus provides a stop against movement to the front.
  • the stop unit 5 essentially comprises a stop rod 12, which is in communication with the actuating button 1, 2 and protrudes through the actuating plate 3, and a stop element 13, here in the form of a stop nut 13 with an internal thread, which to the stop rod 12 via a Rotational movement adjustable or is formed displaceable.
  • the stop nut 13 can be moved along the center axis M of the stopper rod 12 and serves as a stop on a stop surface 24, which is provided here by the back of the actuator plate 3.
  • the stop rod 12 essentially comprises a coupling section 14, which is followed by a shaft section 15 and a receiving section 16.
  • the coupling section essentially serves to connect the stop rod 12 to the actuating button 1, 2.
  • the shaft section 15 connects the coupling section 14 to the receiving section 16, which essentially serves to receive the stop element 13.
  • connection between the stop unit 5 or coupling portion 14 and the actuating plate 1, 2 is designed here as a snap connection, so that the user or installer in the case of a revision or adjustment of the position of the operation buttons 1, 2 can easily disconnect the connection.
  • the user presses an actuating button 1, 2 and engages in a recessed grip 31 on the other actuating button 2, 1, wherein the user can bring the corresponding actuating button 2, 1 in the inspection position on the recessed grip 31.
  • the snap connection between the stop unit 5 and the actuating button 1, 2 is canceled.

  • the spherical body 18 extends from the rear side 30 of the actuating button 1, 2.
  • the driver element 19 serves to receive a tool so that the installer can adjust the distance between the stop element 13 and the coupling section 14 by turning the stop bar 12, as described below.
  • the stopper rod 12 projects through an opening 20 in the actuating plate 3.
  • the opening 20 has a larger diameter than that of the shaft portion 15, so that a slight pivoting of the shaft portion 15th or the stopper rod 12 to the central axis of the opening 20 upon actuation of the actuating buttons 1, 2 is possible.
  • the receiving portion 16, which adjoins the shaft portion 15 here comprises an external thread 21 and locking recesses 22 which extends around the receiving portion 16 around.
  • the external thread 21 is in contact with the thread of the stop element 13, so that a relative displacement of the two elements 12, 13 can be performed by a rotation of the stopper rod 12 about the central axis M at a fixed stop element 13.
  • the latching recesses 22 serve to receive latching fingers 23, which are integrally formed on the stop element 13 and extend in the direction of the center axis M from the stop element 13.
  • the locking fingers 23 engage in the recesses, wherein the installer receives in the setting of the stop distance feedback on the degree of rotation.
  • the connection between locking fingers 23 and locking recess 22 also serves as a securing device, so that the stop member 13 does not move unintentionally during use, which would lead to an undesirable relative pivoting of the actuating button 1, 2.
  • From the rear side 24 of the actuator plate 3 also extend guide elements 25, with which the stop member 13 is connected via guide plates 26 in connection. This can be especially good in the FIG. 6 be recognized.
  • the engagement between the guide element 25 and the guide plate 26 ensures that the stop element 13 in the guide can not rotate about the central axis M. Consequently, the installer with a tool via the driver 19 can transmit torque to the stopper rod 12, which torque then results in a rotation between the stopper rod 12 and the stopper member 13. Since the stop member 13 is rotationally fixed in the guide, the rotation results in a displacement of the stop member 13 to the stop rod, thereby the stop distance Z and ultimately the position of the operation buttons 1, 2 can be adjusted.
  • the leadership has a bevel, which facilitates the insertion of the stop element 13 and the stop unit 5.
  • the stop element 13 further comprises a damping element 27, which is arranged between the stop element 13 and the abutment surface 24 of the actuator plate 3.
  • the damping element 27 is preferably made of a soft plastic and thus dampens the impact of the stop element 13 on the abutment surface 24.
  • the damping element is positively and / or materially connected to the stop member 13.
  • a stop flange 28 is arranged, which provides a stop for the end position upon actuation of the actuating buttons 1, 2.
  • a side edge 29 of the actuating buttons 1, 2 can provide a stop, in which case the actuating button 1, 2 is present on the actuating plate 3.
  • the actuating device has the advantage that an adjustable stop element is present, which hold the actuating buttons 1, 2 in their initial position.
  • the position of the actuating buttons 1, 2 with respect to the wall and / or with respect to two adjacent actuating buttons 1, 2 can be adjusted easily and simply via the stop element.
