Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a control member of a device such as an electrical switch, of the type in the form of a lever pivotally mounted in a housing so that at least one end pivots between a retracted position in the housing and a position in which it emerges at least partially from the housing to be visible, at least one area of the external surface of the visible part of said end is colored to indicate the operating state of the device.
  • a control member of a device such as an electrical switch
  • the invention aims to provide a control member of the type defined above, which can be manufactured in a simple and inexpensive manner, while eliminating any risk of alteration of the signaling zone of the state of the switch.
  • control member according to the invention is characterized in that the colored surface of the signaling zone is the surface of a part produced separately and that the end of the lever is shaped to allow assembly advantageously. removable from said part on the lever.
  • the separate part is made of a material of a color different from that of the lever, in particular by molding.
  • the separate part has a cross section of the general shape of a U, in a plane substantially parallel to the actuation surface of the lever, and the display or signaling end has a support and assembly structure for said U-shaped part.
  • the ends of the walls of the part which form the branches of the U have projections which extend towards the inside of the U, perpendicular to the walls, and the support structure of the lever comprises elements ensuring a fixing of the part by snap-fastening of said projections in said elements.
  • the figures show a control member A in the form of a pivoting lever with two arms or in the form of a lever, intended to equip an electric switch.
  • the control lever is intended to be pivotally mounted on the framing walls B of the open upper end of a switch box housing the electrical contact device which the lever according to the invention shown controls. Switch boxes of this type being known per se, the box is not shown. We recognize in 1 the pins forming pivots for mounting the lever in the frame structure.
  • the control lever according to the invention comprises an upper actuating wall 2 and side walls 3 which are shaped to extend substantially perpendicularly towards the inside of the housing, from the wall 2. It can be seen that the end pieces forming pivots 1 are provided on the lateral external faces of the lever. 4 shows the plunger of the lever, which is intended to act on the electrical contact device.
  • the switch according to the invention is mounted in the housing in such a way that these two ends pivot between a low position, in which the upper actuation surface is practically at the same level as the upper edge of the framing structure B, as shown schematically on the right side of Figure 1, and a high position in which a large area of the end emerges from the housing and is visible from three sides. This position is shown schematically on the left side of Figure 1.
  • One of the two ends in the example shown the end on the left side, carries a part 6 which is removably mounted on the lever.
  • Figure 4 which is a perspective view of this part 6, it has a cross section of general shape of a U, in a plane substantially parallel to the actuating surface of the lever. Its outer surface is shaped so that when assembled on the lever, it has on its left side the same outline as on its right side.
  • the ends of the lateral walls 7 of the branches of the U have projections 8 which extend substantially perpendicularly towards the inside of the U to form snap projections.
  • the height of the part 6 is greater on the side opposite the carrying end of the projections 8.
  • the part 6 is manufactured separately from the rest of the lever, preferably from a material of a color different from that of the lever.
  • the left arm of the lever is shaped to carry the element 6.
  • it has a support structure 10 which extends from the upper actuating wall 2 towards the interior of the housing.
  • This structure has a substantially rectangular cross section in a plane parallel to this wall, as is clear from FIG. 2, in a complementary manner to the cross section of the part 6.
  • the part 6 and the structure 10 are shaped to allow advantageously removable mounting of the part 6 on the support arm of the switch lever, the projections 8 of the part 6 engaging behind the wall elements 11 of the structure 10. An assembly is thus obtained by snap-fastening.
