Abstract (en)
[origin: US2007164611A1] The invention relates to an actuator for an electric push-button switch ( 30 ) comprising a housing shell ( 10 ) in whose shell opening ( 13 ) a holding plate ( 20 ) is placed. A holding suspension, together with outer stops ( 21 ) and outer counterstops ( 11 ) between the holding plate ( 20 ) and the holding housing permit the non-actuated holding plate ( 10 ) to be pressed into a defined outer position of rest ( 20.1 ). A push-button switch ( 30 ), which is arranged in the housing shell ( 10 ), is, together with its switching element ( 31 ), located in an extended position ( 30.1 ) that is effected by a switch suspension ( 33 ). The aim of the invention is to provide an economical space-saving design. To this end, the switch suspension ( 33 ) of the push-button switch ( 30 ) is simultaneously provided with the function of providing the holding suspension of the holding plate ( 20 ). Inner stops and inner counterstops are also provided between the holding plate ( 20 ) and the housing shell ( 10 ) and, in the event of an asymmetrical actuation, ensure a defined inclined position of the holding plate ( 20 ). This controlled inclined position ensures that the switching element ( 31 ) of the push-button switch ( 30 ) reaches, even in this event, a contact-effective depressed position.
