Abstract

1,142,394. Indicators for switches. SWFSPEZIALFABRIK FUER AUTOZUBE. HOER GUSTAV RAU G.m.b.H. 28 June, 1967 [12 Nov., 1966], No. 29832/67. Heading H1N. The open-ended operating member 12 of a push-button switch comprises a light transmitting rod 13 having a symbol-carrying layer 15 over its light emitting end and an interposed layer 20 of light-coloured translucent material so that the symbol is clearly visible both by transmitted or reflected light. The layers 15 and 20 may be in the form of foils, the foil 20 being self-adhesive while the foil 15 is retained in position by a rim 19 integral with member 12. Projections 18 and resilient ribs 17 secure the rod 13 within member 12. The translucent layer 20 may have a phosphorescent surface to provide visibility in darkness even without illumination.
