Description

  

  Interrupteur électrique.         L'invention    a pour objet un interrupteur  électrique,     caractérisé    en     ce    qu'il comporte  un organe     de'manoeuvre    tournant sur un axe  et     susceptible    d'être mis en rotation sans fin  dans les deux sens, l'organe de     man#uvre     tournant dans un plan perpendiculaire à la       surface    sur laquelle     l'interrupteur    est fixé.  



  Le dessin ci-joint montre, à titre d'exem  ple, une forme d'exécution de     cet        interrup-          teur    en coupes     transversales,        fig:    1 et 2.  



  L'organe     @de        man#uvre    1     comporte    quatre       ailes    radiales, on peut le faire     tourner        sans    fin       soit    dans un sens, soit     ,dans    l'autre sur un axe  2     fixe    par rapport au boîtier 8. Cet organe 1  comporte, dans     unc    de ses quatre     ailes,    un lo  gement diamétral 4 pour une bille 5 et un res  sort 6, lequel est     maintenu    dans le logement  par un bouchon     vissé    7.

   La bille 5 est repoussée  dans une des quatre gorges que comporte  l'axe 2 et elle empêche la rotation acciden  telle de l'organe 1,     mais    il suffit de pousser  dans un sens ou dans l'autre l'aile faisant  saillie à l'extérieur, pour     que    la bille     passe          d'une    gorge de l'axe 2 dans la suivante en  comprimant momentanément le ressort 6.  



  Deux ailes de l'organe 1 comportent une  rainure dans laquelle pénètre un     poussoir    8  de l'un des contacts de façon que le courant  soit     interrompu,        fig.    1. Les deux autres ailes  de l'organe 1 sont     .destinées    à actionner le  poussoir 8 qui     présente    à cet effet un arrondi  au point de friction,<B>-</B>ceci pour     actionner    et  établir le courant,     fig.    2.

   Les deux     ailes    à         rainure    de l'organe 1 sont préférablement de       couleur    blanche, tandis que les deux autres  sont rouges, de manière que l'on aperçoive       nettement    une surface centrale rouge     lorsque     le courant passe, et une surface blanche sépa  rant deux surfaces rouges lorsque le courant  est interrompu.  



  L'axe 2 pourrait être     cylindrique,    par  exemple, la bille opérant un freinage suffi  sant; et, lors de la     manoeuvre,    l'aile     actionnée     ne pourrait pas     pratiquement    être poussée       davantage    qu'il n'est     utile,    car s'a     surface     extérieure serait à fleur de la surface du  boîtier lorsque le doigt de l'opérateur bute  rait     contre        cette    surface.



  Electric switch. The object of the invention is an electric switch, characterized in that it comprises a maneuvering member rotating on an axis and capable of being put in endless rotation in both directions, the operating member rotating in a plane perpendicular to the surface on which the switch is fixed.



  The accompanying drawing shows, by way of example, an embodiment of this switch in cross sections, figs: 1 and 2.



  The operating member 1 comprises four radial wings, it can be rotated endlessly either in one direction or in the other on an axis 2 fixed relative to the housing 8. This member 1 comprises, in a of its four wings, a diametral housing 4 for a ball 5 and a spring 6, which is held in the housing by a screw cap 7.

   The ball 5 is pushed back into one of the four grooves that the axis 2 has and it prevents accidental rotation of the member 1, but it suffices to push in one direction or the other the wing protruding from it. outside, so that the ball passes from one groove in axis 2 to the next, momentarily compressing spring 6.



  Two wings of member 1 have a groove into which a pusher 8 of one of the contacts enters so that the current is interrupted, fig. 1. The other two wings of the member 1 are intended to actuate the pusher 8 which has for this purpose a rounded point of friction, <B> - </B> this to actuate and establish the current, fig. 2.

   The two grooved wings of organ 1 are preferably white in color, while the other two are red, so that a red central surface is clearly visible when the current is flowing, and a white surface separating two red surfaces. when the current is interrupted.



  The axis 2 could be cylindrical, for example, the ball operating a sufficient braking; and, during the maneuver, the actuated wing could not practically be pushed more than it is useful, because its outer surface would be flush with the surface of the housing when the operator's finger abuts against it. this surface.

Claims

CLAIM Electric switch, characterized in that it comprises an operating member rotating on an axis and capable of being endlessly rotated in both directions, the operating member rotating in a plane perpendicular to the surface to which the switch is attached. SUB-CLAIMS 1.

Switch according to claim, characterized in that the operating member comprises radial wings.

2. Switch according to claim, characterized in that the operating member rotates on a fixed axis relative to the switch housing. 3. Switch according to claim and sub-claim 2, characterized in that an accidental rotation of the operating member is prevented by a spring device.

4. Switch according to claim and sub-claims 2 and 3, characterized in that the frozen axis comprises grooves in each of which a stop passes successively ment by momentarily compressing a res out which is held in a housing of the member. of maneuver. 5. Switch according to claim and sub-claims 2 to 4, characterized in that said stopper is a ball. 6.

Switch according to Claim 1 and 1 to 4, characterized in that two opposed radial wings actuate a push button producing the contact for the passage of the current, two other op posed wings allowing this push button to take the position interrupting the current. 7.

Switch according to claim and sub-claim 1, characterized in that two opposite wings are of a different color from the color of two other opposite wings. 8. Switch according to claim and sub-claims 1 to 6, as shown in the drawing: attached.
