Abstract
Schalter (10), mit einem Betätigungselement (11), das an bestimmten Bereichen (12, 13) mit Symbolen (15) versehen ist, und mit mindestens einem mit dem Betätigungselement (11) in Wirkverbindung stehenden Taster (18, 19), der mit einer Lichtquelle (16, 17) bestückt ist, wobei ein Grundkörper (30) des Betätigungselements (11) aus einem Kunststoffmaterial gefertigt und zumindest auf den Symbolbereichen (12, 13) von einer mit den Symbolen (15) bedruckte Folie (31) überdeckt ist, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der transluzent ausgebildete Grundkörper (30) an den Symbolbereichen (12, 13) mit einer gegenüber den übrigen Wandbereichen sehr geringen Wandstärke versehen ist.switch (10), with an actuator (11), which at certain areas (12, 13) provided with symbols (15) is, and at least one with the actuating element (11) in operative connection standing button (18, 19), which is equipped with a light source (16, 17), being a basic body (30) of the actuating element (11) made of a plastic material and at least on the Symbol areas (12, 13) of one printed with the symbols (15) Covered foil (31) is, characterized in that the translucent base body (30) at the symbol areas (12, 13) provided with a relation to the other wall areas very small wall thickness is.
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Schalter nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 und auf ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Schalterbetätigungselementes nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 8.The The present invention relates to a switch according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method of manufacturing a switch actuator according to the preamble of claim 8.
Bei derartigen Schaltern, wie Wippschalter, Druckknopfschalter, Druckknopftaster und dgl., bei denen eine Ausleuchtung von Symbolen an den Kunststoff-Betätigungselementen vorgesehen ist, sind unterschiedliche Konstruktionen verwirklicht.at Such switches, such as rocker switch, pushbutton switch, pushbutton and the like, in which an illumination of symbols on the plastic actuators is provided, different constructions are realized.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Schalter mit einem Betätigungselement der eingangs genannten Art und ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Schalterbetätigungselement der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei dem das Betätigungselement einen konstruktiv einfacheren Aufbau besitzt bzw. bei dem die mit Symbolen bedruckte Kunststofffolie in weniger aufwendiger Weise hinterspritzt werden muss.task The present invention is a switch with an actuator of the type mentioned above and a method for producing a Switch actuator of the type mentioned above, wherein the actuating element has a structurally simpler structure or in which the with Symbols printed plastic film in less expensive way must be injected behind.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe sind bei einem Schalter der genannten Art die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale und bei einem Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Betätigungselementes der genannten Art die im Anspruch 8 angegebenen Merkmale vorgesehen.to solution This task are in a switch of the type mentioned in the Claim 1 features and in a method for manufacturing an actuating element said type provided the features specified in claim 8.
Durch die erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen ist erreicht, dass die mit Symbolen rückseitig bedruckte Kunststofffolie von einem einzigen transluzent ausgebildeten Grundkörper hinterlegt ist, der in den Symbolbereichen mit einer sehr geringen. Wandstärke versehen ist. Diese Art der Hinterlegung der Kunststofffolie mit dem transparenten Grundkörper kann in einem einzigen Arbeitsgang erfolgen, wobei es lediglich eine Frage des Werkzeugs ist, dass der Grundkörper mit unterschiedlich dicken Wandbereichen ausgestaltet wird.By the measures according to the invention achieves that with the symbols on the reverse printed plastic film backed by a single translucent base body is in the symbol areas with a very small. Provided wall thickness is. This type of deposit of plastic film with the transparent Basic body can in a single operation, with only one Question of the tool is that the main body with different thick wall areas is designed.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Folie bzw. des Grundkörpers ergeben sich aus den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 2 und/oder 3 bzw. des Anspruchs 9 und/oder 10.advantageous Embodiments of the film or the base body resulting from the Features of claim 2 and / or 3 or of claim 9 and / or 10th
Je nach vorgesehenem Design können für die Kunststoffmaterialien von Grundkörper und/oder Folie die Merkmale nach den Ansprüchen 4 und/oder 5 oder 6 bzw. 11 und/oder 12 vorgesehen sein. Eine einheitliche Einfärbung von Grundkörper-Kunststoffmaterial und Folien-Kunststoffmaterial führt zu einem Betätigungselement, das im unausgeleuchtetem Zustand ein einheitliches Aussehen besitzt.ever according to the intended design for the Plastic materials of basic body and / or film the features according to claims 4 and / or 5 or 6 or 11 and / or 12 may be provided. A uniform coloring of Body-plastic material and plastic film material leads to an actuator, which has a uniform appearance in the unlit state.
Zweckmäßigerweise sind die Merkmale nach Anspruch 7 vorgesehen, auch wenn es in etwas aufwendigerer Weise möglich ist, die mit den Symbolen bedruckte Folie abschnittsweise lediglich in den Symbolbereichen vorzusehen.Conveniently, the features are provided according to claim 7, even if it is a little more elaborate Way possible is, the film printed with the symbols in sections only to be provided in the symbol areas.
Weitere Einzelheiten der Erfindung sind der folgenden Beschreibung zu entnehmen, in der die Erfindung anhand der in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele näher beschrieben und erläutert ist.
