Abstract

Ein elektrischer Kipptastschalter (6) umfaßt eine an einem Gehäuse (9) gelagerte Taste (10), der ein Betätiger (24) zur Beaufschlagung eines Schaltelementes zugeordnet ist. Der Betätiger (24) ist als Blattfeder (40) ausgebildet, deren eines Ende gehäuseseitig festgelegt ist und deren anderes freies, mit dem Schaltelement zusammenwirkendes Ende unter Vorspannung an der Taste (10) anliegt.

Figure 00000001
An electric toggle switch (6) comprises a button (10) mounted on a housing (9), which is assigned an actuator (24) for actuating a switching element. The actuator (24) is designed as a leaf spring (40), one end of which is fixed on the housing side and the other free end, which interacts with the switching element, bears against the button (10) under pretension.
