Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the field of electrical equipment.
  • the electrical switches commonly called “push-push” allow, internally, to perform a bistable function of change of state, opening or closing a circuit each time it is acted on their control key, while they behave externally like monostables, their control key returning each time to the rest position as soon as the depressing action exerted on it is released.
  • a switch in which the push button is adapted to be moved in translation inside the housing.
  • the push button has four legs each provided with a hook to limit the output of the push button.
  • a second mode it is a switch in which the push button is adapted to be moved tilt inside the housing.
  • the push button has, on one side, two pins that allow the push button to tilt around a single axis, and, on the other side, two jambs each provided with a hook to limit the output of the push button.
  • the axis of tilting of the control key is provided along an edge of the control key.
  • these electrical switches are installed in such a way that the tilt axis of their control key is located horizontally on the high side of this control key. Conversely, in other countries, these electrical switches are installed in such a way that the tilt axis of their control key is located horizontally on the bottom side of this control key.
  • Such a switch can then be mounted always in the same direction (the inscriptions at the place), since the user can act on the upper part or on the lower part of the control key, according to his habits, to make it to toggle.
  • the mounting frame is closed at the rear by a bottom from which rise four U-shaped bridges each defining an oblong space of closed contour.
  • the control key has corresponding, in protruding from its rear face, four studs respectively engaged in oblong spaces delimited by these U-shaped bridges.
  • Each pad is thus free to pivot within this oblong space, or to sink backwards. In this way, the control button can swing in one direction or the other, or even sink backwards.
  • the present invention proposes a new, more reliable switch in which the installation of the control key in the mounting frame is facilitated.
  • the invention proposes an electrical switch as defined in the introduction, wherein the mounting means comprise at least two teeth protruding from the edge of said facade which, when the control key is in the rest position , are engaged in two grooves provided at the rear of the mounting frame.
  • FIG. 1 On the figure 1 an embodiment of an electric switch 1 according to the invention is shown.
  • this electric switch 1 is of the type to be fixed on an electrical box (not shown) embedded in a wall.
  • the electrical switch could rather be of the type to be fixed on a frame mounted on a wall.
  • the terms "before” and “back” will be used by relative to the direction of the gaze of the user to the wall on which this electrical switch is reported 1.
  • the wall will be a wall partition of a room
  • the front will designate the side turned inwards of the piece and the back will point to the side facing the outside of the room.
  • the electrical switch 1 comprises a control key 10, a mounting frame 30, a cover plate 50, an apparatus mechanism 70, and an equipment support 90.
  • the mounting frame and the trim plate may for example form a single piece.
  • the equipment support 90 is intended to be fixed to the electrical box (or, according to the first variant, to the projecting frame) and to support the mounting frame 30 as well as the mounting plate. 50.
  • the covering plate 50 is provided to aesthetically cover this equipment support 90.
  • the mounting frame 30 is provided for guiding the tilting of the control key 10 so that it can switch the mechanism equipment 70.
  • the covering plate 50, the equipment mechanism 70 and the equipment support 90 not being the object of the present invention, they will only be briefly described at the end of this presentation.
  • the present invention thus relates more to the control key 10 and to its mounting frame 30.
  • the mounting frame 30 defines an access opening 31 inside which is engaged the control key 10.
  • this control key 10 comprises, on the one hand, a flat frontage 11 orthogonal to an axis A0, which is accessible to the user, and, on the other hand, mounting means 13 for tilting on said frame of mounting 30 around at least two separate axes A1, A2, which allow the control key 10 to be movable between a stable rest position and at least two actuating positions of the apparatus mechanism 70.
  • these mounting means comprise at least two teeth 13 projecting from the edge of said facade 11 which, when the control key 10 is in the rest position, are engaged in two grooves 33 provided at the rear of the mounting frame 30.
  • the mounting frame 30 here has a shape of a square ring axis A0.
  • the front panel 11 of the control key 10 also then has a square shape of equal dimensions, to the operating clearance, to the dimensions of the access opening 31 delimited by the mounting frame 30. This front 11 then closes the door. access opening 31.
  • the mounting frame and the control key could of course have different shapes, including circular.
  • the facade 11 is bordered at the rear by a flange 12.
  • This flange 12 runs along the entire periphery of the facade 11.
  • the teeth 13 then extend from the outer face of the flange 12 and are curved forward. Their curved ends thus extend away from the flange 12, parallel to it.
  • At least one tooth 13 is provided on each of two opposite sides of the flange 12, so that the control key 10 can pivot about two parallel axes substantially coinciding with these two opposite sides.
  • control key 10 can pivot about eight axes A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8 distinct, parallel two by two.
  • Each tooth 13 is a profile which extends in length along a longitudinal axis which is parallel to the axis of the corresponding side of the facade 11.
  • Each tooth 13 has an L-shaped profile (or "cross-section"), with a portion that hooks to the flange 12, and a portion that points forward.
  • the front end 14 of each tooth 13 has a particular profile making it possible to ensure a good rotational guidance of the control key 10 with respect to the mounting frame 30.
  • the mounting frame 30 comprises a body 32 in the form of a rectangular crown (here square), with four identical branches.
  • each branch of the body 32 are planar.
  • the front edge of the body 32 is also flat.
  • each notch 34 thus forms one of said grooves 33 for receiving the teeth 13 of the key order 10.
  • each groove 33 is a profile which extends in length along a longitudinal axis which is parallel to the axis of the branch in which it is located.
  • Each groove 33 has a particular profile (or "cross-section"), whose shape is provided according to the shape of the front ends 14 of the teeth 13, so as to ensure a good rotational guidance of the control key 10 relative to to the mounting frame 30.
  • each groove 33 thus has a concave arcuate profile, here in a semi-circle open towards the rear.
  • each tooth 13 of the control key 10 then has a convex arc-of-circle profile, here in a quarter-circle of diameter equal to that of the grooves 33.
  • teeth and grooves have different shapes.
  • each groove 233 has a dihedral profile
  • each tooth 213 has a bevel-shaped profile with an apex angle B1 smaller than the opening angle B2 of the grooves 233.
  • 213 teeth will be arranged on the control key 10 so that, when the control key 10 is at rest, the tops of the teeth 213 engage at the bottom of the grooves 233.
  • the first four axes of rotation A1, A2, A3, A4 border the control key 10. They correspond more precisely to the cylinder axes of the front ends 14 of the teeth 13.
  • the other axes of rotation A5, A6, A7, A8 are coplanar with the first axes of rotation A1, A2, A3, A4, but inclined at 45 degrees with respect thereto. They each pass through the adjacent ends of each pair of teeth 13 located at the same corner of the control key 10.
  • the mounting frame 30 and the operating key 10 here each form in one piece, by molding an insulating material, for example a plastics material.
  • the apparatus mechanism 70 includes an insulating base 72 and a switching mechanism 71 housed within the insulating base 72.
