Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein handgeführtes Presswerkzeug, das insbesondere zur Herstellung von Rohrverbindungen, zum Verpressen von Kabelschuhen, zum Betätigen von Schneidzangen und dergleichen geeignet ist.The invention relates to a hand-held pressing tool, which is particularly suitable for the production of pipe joints, for pressing cable lugs, for operating cutting tongs and the like.

Derartige handgeführte Presswerkzeuge weisen in einem Gehäuse eine Antriebseinrichtung auf. Bei dieser handelt es sich beispielsweise um eine hydraulische Antriebseinrichtung, deren Hydraulikpumpe über einen Elektromotor angetrieben wird. Ferner weist das Presswerkzeug eine Werkzeugaufnahme auf, die beispielsweise zur Aufnahme von Pressbacken, Schneidzangen oder dergleichen dient. Mit Hilfe der Antriebseinrichtung erfolgt sodann ein Betätigen des Werkzeugs. Derartige handgeführte Werkzeuge weisen eine Energiequelle auf, wobei die Energieversorgung über ein Kabel oder über eine integrierte Energiequelle wie einen Akku erfolgt. Zum Betätigen der Werkzeuge, d. h. beispielsweise zum Starten des Pressvorgangs mit dem beispielsweise Rohrverbindungen verpresst werden, ist ferner ein Starttaster vorgesehen. Hierbei handelt es sich üblicherweise um einen elastisch bzw. federnd gehaltenen Starttaster und keinen Schalter, da ein Verpressvorgang durch Betätigen des Starttasters ausgelöst wird und nach Beendigung des Pressvorgangs vorzugsweise automatisch beendet wird. Hierbei erfolgt üblicherweise eine Überprüfung des Pressvorgangs durch mittelbares oder unmittelbares Messen der Presskraft. Des Weiteren ist mit dem Gehäuse häufig eine Anzeigeeinrichtung verbunden.Such hand-held pressing tools have a drive device in a housing. This is, for example, a hydraulic drive device whose hydraulic pump is driven by an electric motor. Furthermore, the pressing tool on a tool holder, which serves for example for receiving pressing jaws, cutting pliers or the like. With the help of the drive device then takes place an actuation of the tool. Such hand-held tools have an energy source, wherein the power supply via a cable or via an integrated power source such as a battery. For actuating the tools, ie, for example, to start the pressing process with the example pipe joints are pressed, a start button is also provided. This is usually an elastic or resiliently held start button and no switch, since a pressing operation is triggered by pressing the start button and is preferably terminated automatically after completion of the pressing operation. In this case, usually a review of the pressing process by indirect or direct measurement of the pressing force. Furthermore, a display device is often connected to the housing.

Hierbei handelt es sich üblicherweise um LED-Leuchten in unterschiedlicher Farbe, die beispielsweise die Qualität der Verpressung anzeigen, durch die Störungen oder die Notwendigkeit einer Wartung oder auch der Ladezustand des Akkus angezeigt werden. Des Weiteren weisen handgeführte Presswerkzeuge üblicherweise eine Steuereinrichtung wie eine Steuerplatine zur Steuerung eines Pressvorgangs auf. Mit Hilfe der Steuereinrichtung wird beispielsweise der Elektromotor und dergleichen gesteuert. Ferner kann durch die Steuereinrichtung eine Aufnahme und Verarbeitung von Messdaten von Druck- oder Wegsensoren sowie das Aufnehmen einer Strom- oder Spannungsaufnahme des Elektromotors erfolgen. Diese Daten können zur Steuerung sowie auch zur Überprüfung der Qualität des Press- oder Schneidvorgangs genutzt werden. Des Weiteren weisen handgeführte Presswerkzeuge zur Diagnose üblicherweise einen Diagnosestecker auf. Die Steuereinrichtung der Starttaster, die Anzeigeeinrichtung und auch der Diagnosestecker müssen innerhalb des Gehäuses verkabelt werden. Das Vorsehen von Kabeln oder entsprechenden elektrischen Kontakten ist fehleranfällig und erhöht die Herstellungskosten des Presswerkzeugs.These are usually LED lights in different colors, for example, indicate the quality of the compression, are displayed by the disturbances or the need for maintenance or the state of charge of the battery. Furthermore, hand-held pressing tools usually have a control device such as a control board for controlling a pressing operation. With the aid of the control device, the electric motor and the like are controlled, for example. Furthermore, by the control device, a recording and processing of measurement data from pressure or displacement sensors as well as the recording of a current or voltage of the electric motor can take place. These data can be used to control as well as to check the quality of the pressing or cutting process. Furthermore, hand-held pressing tools for diagnosis usually have a diagnostic connector. The controller of the start button, the display device and the diagnostic connector must be wired within the housing. The provision of cables or corresponding electrical contacts is prone to error and increases the manufacturing cost of the pressing tool.

Aus WO 03/057395 ist ein Elektrowerkzeug mit einer Schneidscheibe bekannt. Dieses weist eine in einem Gehäuse angeordnete Antriebseinrichtung sowie eine mit dieser verbundene Energiequelle auf.Out WO 03/057395 is a power tool with a cutting disc known. This has a housing arranged in a drive device and an associated with this energy source.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein verbessertes handgeführtes Presswerkzeug zu schaffen, wobei insbesondere dessen Herstellungskosten bei hoher Zuverlässigkeit verringert sind.The object of the invention is to provide an improved hand-held pressing tool, wherein in particular its manufacturing costs are reduced with high reliability.

Die Lösung der Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1.The object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1.

Das erfindungsgemäße handgeführte Presswerkzeug, das insbesondere zur Herstellung von Rohrverbindungen oder Kabelschuhverbindungen durch Verpressen aber auch zum Betätigen von Schneidzangen aufgrund insbesondere hydraulisch erzeugter Kräfte geeignet ist, weist ein Gehäuse auf, in dem eine Antriebseinrichtung angeordnet ist. Die Antriebseinrichtung umfasst vorzugsweise eine Hydraulikeinrichtung sowie einen eine Hydraulikpumpe antreibenden Elektromotor.The hand-held pressing tool according to the invention, which is particularly suitable for the production of pipe joints or cable lug connections by pressing but also for operating cutting tongs due to particular hydraulically generated forces, has a housing in which a drive device is arranged. The drive device preferably comprises a hydraulic device and an electric motor driving a hydraulic pump.

Ferner ist die Antriebseinrichtung mit einer Energiequelle wie einem Akku verbunden. Erfindungsgemäß ist ein Gehäusedeckel vorgesehen, wobei unter dem Gehäusedeckel sowohl ein Starttaster als auch eine Anzeigeeinrichtung, die beispielsweise zum Anzeigen eines Betriebszustandes, des Akkuladezustandes, der Anzeige von Störungen, der Anzeige der Qualität der Verpressung etc. geeignet ist, vorgesehen ist. In besonders bevorzugter Ausführungsform ist der Gehäusedeckel zumindest im Bereich der Anzeigeeinrichtung transparent ausgebildet, wobei die Anzeigeeinrichtung vorzugsweise zumindest teilweise als Leuchtanzeige ausgebebildet ist und insofern beispielsweise ein Display oder LED's aufweist. Die Leuchtanzeigen sind somit durch den transparenten Gehäusedeckel sichtbar. Das Erkennen bzw. die Sichtbarkeit der Leuchtanzeige ist in bevorzugter Weiterbildung dadurch verbessert, dass der Gehäusedeckel Lichtleitelemente aufweist, durch die eine Lichtleitung von den Leuchtanzeigen an die Außenseite des Gehäusedeckels erfolgt. Hierbei können die Lichtleitelemente insbesondere einstückig mit dem in bevorzugter Ausführungsform aus Kunststoff hergestellten Gehäusedeckel ausgebildet sein.Furthermore, the drive device is connected to a power source such as a battery. According to the invention, a housing cover is provided, wherein under the housing cover both a start button and a display device, which is suitable for example for displaying an operating state, the battery charge state, the display of faults, the display of the quality of the compression, etc., is provided. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the housing cover is transparent at least in the region of the display device, wherein the display device is preferably embodied at least partially as a light indicator and insofar, for example, has a display or LED's. The illuminated displays are thus visible through the transparent housing cover. The recognition or the visibility of the illuminated display is improved in a preferred embodiment in that the housing cover has light-guiding elements, by means of which a light pipe from the illuminated displays to the outside of the housing cover takes place. In this case, the light-guiding elements can in particular be formed integrally with the housing cover produced in a preferred embodiment from plastic.

Bei einer weiteren bevorzugten Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist eine Steuereinrichtung vorgesehen, die insbesondere als Steuerplatine ausgebildet und ebenfalls unter dem Gehäusedeckel angeordnet ist. Aufgrund der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung der Steuereinrichtung unter dem Gehäusedeckel ist es möglich, den Starttaster und die Anzeigeeinrichtung unmittelbar mit der Steuereinrichtung zu verbinden. Bei einer Ausgestaltung der Steuereinrichtung als Steuerplatine kann somit der Starttaster und/oder die Anzeigeeinrichtung unmittelbar auf der Steuerplatine angeordnet werden. Hierdurch ist das Vorsehen von elektrischen Verbindungskabeln zwischen Steuereinrichtung und Starttaster sowie zwischen Steuereinrichtung und Leuchtanzeigen vermieden. In einer weiteren besonders bevorzugten Weiterbildung der Erfindung dient der Gehäusedeckel zum Betätigen des Starttasters. Hierzu ist der Gehäusedeckel oder zumindest ein Teil des Gehäusedeckels federnd an dem Gehäuse gehalten.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, a control device is provided, which is designed in particular as a control board and is also arranged under the housing cover. Due to the inventive arrangement of the control device under the housing cover, it is possible to connect the start button and the display device directly to the control device. In one embodiment of the control device as a control board, the start button and / or the display device can thus be arranged directly on the control board. As a result, the provision of electrical connection cables between the control device and the start button as well as between the control device and the illuminated displays is avoided. In a further particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the housing cover is used to actuate the start button. For this purpose, the housing cover or at least a part of the housing cover is resiliently held on the housing.

Dies kann in bevorzugter Ausführungsform durch Vorsehen eines Schwenkansatzes an dem Gehäusedeckel erfolgen. Der Schwenkansatz weist beispielsweise zwei insbesondere einstückig mit dem Gehäusedeckel verbundene Ansätze wie Schwenkfüße auf. Um diese Schwenkansätze ist sodann ein Verschwenken des Gehäusedeckels möglich, wobei ein geringfügiges Verschwenken ausreicht, da der Gehäusedeckel im Bereich des Starttasters nur um wenige mm zur Betätigung des Starttasters bewegbar sein muss. Da als Starttaster insbesondere ein federnder Taster vorgesehen ist, der nach dem Betätigen automatisch in seine Ausgangsstellung zurückgeht, ist es bevorzugt, dass der Gehäusedeckel federnd an dem Gehäuse gehalten ist. Dies kann dadurch erfolgen, dass zusätzlich zum Vorsehen von Schwenkansätzen ein Federelement wie eine Spiralfeder unter dem Gehäusedeckel angeordnet ist, sodass der Gehäusedeckel stets in eine Ausgangslage, in der der Starttaster nicht gedrückt ist, zurückgedrückt wird. Das Federelement kann auch in dem Starttaster integriert sein. Da der Gehäusedeckel vorzugsweise aus Kunststoffmaterial hergestellt ist, ist es bevorzugt, anstatt des Vorsehens einer Spiralfeder oder dergleichen, einen Federansatz an dem Gehäusedeckel vorzusehen, der insbesondere einstückig mit dem Gehäusedeckel ausgebildet ist. Der Federansatz, der beispielsweise ebenfalls zwei Federfüße bzw. elastische Federarme aufweist, drückt den Gehäusedeckel, sofern dieser nicht vom Benutzer in Richtung des Presswerkzeuges gedrückt wird, stets in eine Ausgangslage zurück, in der der Starttaster nicht betätigt ist. Der Gehäusedeckel kann hierbei in seiner Ausgangslage durch ein Halteelement fixiert sein. Hierbei kann das Halteelement ein ebenfalls unmittelbar mit dem Gehäusedeckel verbundener Ansatz sein, der in eine Ausnehmung ragt, sodass ein vollständiges Aufklappen oder Entfernen des Gehäusedeckels nur möglich ist, wenn dieser Ansatz aus der Ausnehmung herausgezogen oder herausgedrückt wird. Bei dem Ansatz kann es sich insofern um eine Art Rastverbindung mit einer Gehäusewand handeln.This can be done in a preferred embodiment by providing a swivel attachment to the housing cover. The swivel approach, for example, has two particularly integrally connected to the housing cover approaches such as swivel feet. To this pivotal approaches then a pivoting of the housing cover is possible, with a slight pivoting sufficient, since the housing cover in the region of the start button only a few mm to actuate the start button must be movable. As a start button in particular a resilient button is provided which automatically returns to its initial position after actuation, it is preferred that the housing cover is resiliently held on the housing. This can be done in that in addition to the provision of swivel approaches a spring element such as a coil spring is disposed under the housing cover, so that the housing cover is always pushed back into a starting position in which the start button is not pressed. The spring element can also be integrated in the start button. Since the housing cover is preferably made of plastic material, it is preferred, instead of providing a coil spring or the like, to provide a spring attachment to the housing cover, which is in particular formed integrally with the housing cover. The spring extension, which, for example, also has two spring feet or elastic spring arms, presses the housing cover, if it is not pressed by the user in the direction of the pressing tool, always in an initial position in which the start button is not actuated. The housing cover can in this case be fixed in its initial position by a holding element. Here, the holding element may also be a directly connected to the housing cover approach that projects into a recess, so that a complete unfolding or removal of the housing cover is only possible if this approach is pulled out of the recess or pushed out. The approach may thus be a kind of latching connection with a housing wall.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der Gehäusedeckel teilweise insbesondere mit dem Bereich, an dem der Schwenkansatz und/oder der Federansatz angeordnet ist, in einem Gehäusefach angeordnet. Der Gehäusedeckel ist in dem Gehäusefach vorzugsweise verschiebbar gehalten. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass der Gehäusedeckel durch Herausziehen aus dem Gehäusefach vollständig abgenommen oder aufgeklappt werden kann. Hierdurch ist die Steuereinrichtung, insbesondere die Steuerplatine auf einfache Weise zugänglich. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass beispielsweise beschädigte Starttaster oder Leuchtmittel auf einfache Weise ersetzt werden können. Vorzugsweise ist mit der Steuereinrichtung zusätzlich ein Diagnosestecker verbunden, wobei dieser, sofern in der Steuereinrichtung eine Steuerplatine vorgesehen ist, unmittelbar auf der Steuerplatine angeordnet ist. Durch entsprechendes Aufklappen bzw. Abnehmen des Gehäusedeckels ist somit der Diagnosestecker unmittelbar zugänglich.In a further preferred embodiment, the housing cover is partially arranged, in particular with the region on which the swivel projection and / or the spring attachment is arranged, in a housing compartment. The housing cover is preferably held displaceably in the housing compartment. This has the advantage that the housing cover can be completely removed or opened by pulling it out of the housing compartment. As a result, the control device, in particular the control board in a simple manner accessible. This has the advantage that, for example, damaged start buttons or bulbs can be easily replaced. Preferably, a diagnostic connector is additionally connected to the control device, wherein this, if provided in the control device, a control board, is arranged directly on the control board. By appropriately unfolding or removing the housing cover thus the diagnostic connector is directly accessible.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform unter Bezugnahme auf die anliegenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a preferred embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Ein handgeführtes Presswerkzeug weist in einem Gehäuse 10 eine Hydraulikeinrichtung 12 auf, die zum Übertragen von Presskraft auf nicht dargestellte Werkzeuge wie Pressbacken dient.A hand-held pressing tool has in a housing 10 to a hydraulic device 12, which serves for transmitting pressing force on tools not shown, such as press jaws.

Die Werkzeuge sind in einer Werkzeugaufnahme 14 angeordnet. Eine Hydraulikpumpe der Hydraulikeinheit ist über einen Elektromotor 16 angetrieben. Zur Energieversorgung ist im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ferner ein Akku 18 vorgesehen. Wenn das Presswerkzeug z. B. mit Pressbacken verbunden ist, erfolgt das Auslösen des Pressvorgangs durch Betätigen eines Starttasters 20 (Fig. 2), der unter einem transparenten Gehäusedeckel 22 angeordnet ist. Der Starttaster 20 ist im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel unmittelbar auf einer die Steuereinrichtung ausbildenden Steuerplatine 24 angeordnet. Bei dem Starttaster 20 handelt es sich im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel nicht um einen Schalter wie einen Kippschalter, sondern um einen federnd gelagerten Taster. Durch einmaliges Drücken des Starttasters 20 wird somit beispielsweise ein vollständiger Pressvorgang ausgelöst. Das Stoppen des Pressvorgangs erfolgt vorzugsweise automatisch wenn der Pressvorgang abgeschlossen ist, wenn der Starttaster losgelassen wird oder wenn eine Störung auftritt. Um den Starttaster auf einfache Weise mit Hilfe des Gehäusedeckels betätigen zu können, könnte der Gehäusedeckel 22 beispielsweise über ein Gelenk oder elastisch federnd mit dem Gehäuse 10 verbunden sein. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel weist der Gehäusedeckel 22 hierzu einen Schwenkansatz mit zwei Schwenkfüßen 26 auf. Die Schwenkfüße 26 ragen, bezogen auf eine Oberseite des Tasters 22, nach unten und sind im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel gekrümmt ausgebildet und insbesondere in einander gegenüberliegende Schienen 30 geführt.The tools are arranged in a tool holder 14. A hydraulic pump of the hydraulic unit is driven by an electric motor 16. For power supply, a battery 18 is also provided in the illustrated embodiment. When the pressing tool z. B. is connected to pressing jaws, the triggering of the pressing operation by pressing a start button 20 ( Fig. 2 ), which is arranged under a transparent housing cover 22. The start button 20 is arranged directly on a control device forming the control board 24 in the illustrated embodiment. The start button 20 in the illustrated embodiment is not a switch such as a toggle switch, but a spring-mounted button. By pressing the start button 20 once, for example, a complete pressing operation is triggered. Stopping the pressing operation is preferably carried out automatically when the pressing operation is completed, when the start button is released or when a fault occurs. In order to be able to actuate the start button in a simple manner with the aid of the housing cover, the housing cover 22 could, for example, be connected to the housing 10 via a joint or elastically resiliently. In the illustrated embodiment, the housing cover 22 for this purpose has a pivot projection with two pivot feet 26. The pivoting feet 26 protrude, based on an upper side of the pushbutton 22, downwards and are curved in the illustrated embodiment and in particular guided in opposite rails 30.

Das dem Schwenkansatz 26 gegenüberliegende in Fig. 2 linke Ende des Gehäusedeckels 22 ist nicht fest mit dem Gehäuse 10 verbunden, sondern zumindest innerhalb eines vorgegebenen Bereichs in Richtung eines Pfeils 32 (Fig. 2) auf das Gehäuse 10 zu verschiebbar. Durch Ausüben einer durch einen Pfeil 34 dargestellten Druckkraft erfolgt somit ein Verschwenken um die Schwenkfüße 26 in die in Fig. 3 dargestellte Stellung, in der zwischen einem Fixierelement 34 sowie einer Schraube und einem im Querschnitt U-förmigen Ansatz 36 des Gehäusedeckels 22 ein Abstand entsteht. Hierdurch erfolgt ein Betätigen des Starttasters 20.The the pivotal projection 26 opposite in Fig. 2 left end of the housing cover 22 is not fixedly connected to the housing 10, but at least within a predetermined range in the direction of an arrow 32 (FIG. Fig. 2 ) to the housing 10 to be displaced. By exerting a pressure force shown by an arrow 34 thus takes place pivoting about the pivot feet 26 in the in Fig. 3 shown position, in which between a fixing element 34 and a screw and a cross-sectionally U-shaped projection 36 of the housing cover 22 creates a gap. As a result, the start button 20 is actuated.

Um ein Zurückfedern des Gehäusedeckels 22 in die Ausgangslage (Fig. 2) zu gewährleisten, ist in bevorzugter Ausführungsform der Gehäusedeckel 22 ferner mit einem Federansatz verbunden, der im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel zwei einstückig mit dem Gehäusedeckel 22 ausgebildete Federfüße oder Federarme 38 aufweist. Die beiden Federfüße 38 sind seitlich neben einem Zwischenstück 40 des Gehäusedeckels 22 angeordnet, wobei mit dem Zwischenstück 40 auf der einen Seite die Schwenkansätze 26 und auf der anderen Seite ein Hauptelement 42 verbunden ist. Aufgrund der elastischen Ausgestaltung der Federfüße 38 erfolgt, sobald keine Druckkraft 34 mehr ausgeübt wird, ein Zurückfedern, bzw. Zurückdrücken des Gehäusedeckels 22 in seine Ausgangsstellung (Fig. 2).In order to spring back the housing cover 22 into the starting position (FIG. Fig. 2 ), in a preferred embodiment, the housing cover 22 is further connected to a spring extension, which has two integrally formed with the housing cover 22 spring feet or spring arms 38 in the illustrated embodiment. The two spring feet 38 are arranged laterally next to an intermediate piece 40 of the housing cover 22, wherein the pivot piece 26 is connected to the intermediate piece 40 on one side and a main element 42 on the other side. Due to the elastic configuration of the spring feet 38, as soon as no pressure force 34 is exerted, a spring-back, or pushing back of the housing cover 22 into its initial position ( Fig. 2 ).

Mit der Steuerplatine 24 sind in der dargestellten bevorzugten Ausführungsform Leuchtanzeigen wie LED's 44 unmittelbar verbunden. Durch die Leuchtanzeigen 44 kann im Betriebszustand des Geräts ein Akkuladezustand und dergleichen angezeigt werden. Die LED's 44 sind bei geschlossenem Deckel (Fig. 2 und 3) unterhalb von Lichtleitelementen 46 angeordnet. Die Lichtleitelemente, bei denen es sich insbesondere um zylindrische Ansätze handelt, sind vorzugsweise einstückig mit dem Gehäusedeckel 22 verbunden. Durch das Vorsehen der Lichtleitelemente 46 können die LED's bei geschlossenem Gehäusedeckel 22 gut erkannt werden.With the control board 24 in the illustrated preferred embodiment, light indicators such as LED's 44 are directly connected. By the indicator lights 44, a battery state of charge and the like can be displayed in the operating state of the device. The LED's 44 are with the lid closed ( FIGS. 2 and 3 ) are arranged below light-conducting elements 46. The light guide elements, which are in particular cylindrical projections, are preferably integrally connected to the housing cover 22. By providing the light guide elements 46, the LEDs can be easily recognized when the housing cover 22 is closed.

Bei der besonders bevorzugten erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung des Gehäusedeckels ist dieser ferner öffenbar, sodass ein unmittelbar auf der Steuerplatine 24 vorgesehener Diagnosestecker 48 (Fig. 5) zugänglich ist, um einen Diagnosestecker 50 mit der Steuerplatine 24 zu verbinden. Hierzu wird zunächst das als Schraube ausgebildete Fixierelement 34 gelöst. Anschließend ist es möglich, den Gehäusedeckel 22 aus einem Gehäusefach 52 (Fig. 4) herauszuziehen. Das Gehäusefach 52 ist durch eine äußere Gehäusewand 54 des Gehäuses 10 ausgebildet, wobei die Gehäusewand 54 bei geschlossenem Gehäusedeckel (Fig. 2 und 3) diesen teilweise überdeckt.In the case of the particularly preferred embodiment of the housing cover according to the invention, the housing cover can also be opened so that a diagnostic connector 48 provided directly on the control board 24 (FIG. Fig. 5 ) is accessible to connect a diagnostic connector 50 to the control board 24. For this purpose, first designed as a screw fixing 34 is released. It is then possible to remove the housing cover 22 from a housing compartment 52 (FIG. Fig. 4 ). The housing compartment 52 is formed by an outer housing wall 54 of the housing 10, wherein the housing wall 54 when the housing cover ( FIGS. 2 and 3 ) This partially covered.

Beim Herausziehen des Gehäusedeckels 22 in Fig. 4 nach links gleiten die Schwenkfüße 26 sowie die Federfüße 38 in der Schiene 30. An einem Ende 56 der Schiene 30 können die Federansätze 38 aus der Schiene 30 herausgeführt werden. Der Gehäusedeckel kann somit in die in Fig. 5 dargestellte Stellung aufgeschwenkt werden.When pulling out the housing cover 22 in Fig. 4 To the left, the pivot feet 26 and the spring feet 38 slide in the rail 30. At one end 56 of the rail 30, the spring lugs 38 can be led out of the rail 30. The housing cover can thus in the in Fig. 5 be shown pivoted position.
