Abstract

The tactile symbol for the cover has a symbol carrier (3) with a tactile surface (4) which can be replaceably inserted in an existing or additional holder (6,6') of an actuation element (2) of a key or switch or in the hinged lid of a socket cover. The surface of a symbol carrier can be in the form of a stylised and tactile representation of a light source, bell, door opener, blind switch, socket etc. The holder for a socket can be its hinged lid. The replaceable symbol carrier for a socket can be inserted into the hinged lid with the holder so as to corresp. to the plug alignment.

Description

   "Symboles palpables pour recouvrements d'appareils d'installation."
L'invention concerne des symboles palpables pour des appareils d'installation, dans le champ d'application des hommes handicapés de la vue, selon le préambule de la revendication 1. 



   Les appareils d'installation actuellement disponibles à organes d'actionnement pour des commutateurs et des pièces centrales avec ou sans couvercle rabattable pour prises de courant ne sont généralement pas équipés pour la mise en service par des êtres humains handicapés de la vue. 



   La présente invention a pour but de caractériser ces appareils pour des êtres humains handicapés de la vue. On résout ce problème par les moyens indiqués dans la revendication 1. Les revendications secondaires comportent des perfectionnements avantageux des moyens indiqués dans la revendication 1. 



   Un exemple de réalisation va être expliqué de manière plus détaillée à l'aide des dessins. 



   La figure 1 A représente un organe d'actionnement d'un appareil d'installation électrique avec un logement existant. 



   La figure 1 B représente un organe d'actionnement suivant la figure 1 A, mais avec un support de symbole plus grand. 



   La figure 2 A représente un recouvrement de   pnse   de courant avec couvercle rabattable, dans lequel un support de symbole est agencé avec des indications de sens d'enfoncement horizontal pour une fiche mâle 

 <Desc/Clms Page number 2> 

 
La figure 2 B représente le recouvrement de prise de courant suivant la figure 2 A, mais avec une indication de sens d'enfoncement vertical pour une fiche mâle. 



   Ainsi qu'il ressort de la figure 1 A, la forme de réalisation donnée à titre d'exemple d'un recouvrement d'appareil d'installation est représentée sous la forme d'un bouton-poussoir. Par la référence 1 on désigne le cadre et par la référence 2 l'organe d'actionnement. Sur cet organe d'actionnement 2 est agencé au centre un support de symbole circulaire 3 qui peut être mis en oeuvre de manière échangeable dans un logement 6'. La surface 4 palpable du support de symbole 3 est caractérisée par exemple par un symbole de clé. En dessous du support de symbole 3 il est fréquemment déjà prévu dans des organes d'actionnement existants 2 un logement 6 qui puisse être fermé par un écran de recouvrement 5. 



   Sur la figure 1 B, on a représenté la même illustration que sur la figure 1 A, avec cependant cette différence qu'ici le support de symbole 3, plus grand et rectangulaire, peut être introduit dans le logement déjà présent 6 selon la figure 1A. Le symbole de clé ici sélectionné est synonyme pour d'autres symboles palpables quelconques. 



   Sur la figure 2 A on peut voir une forme de réalisation donnée à titre d'exemple sous la forme d'un recouvrement de prise de courant de sécurité avec couvercle rabattable 7. Le support de symbole 3 est ici agencé avec une surface palpable 4 sur le couvercle rabattable qui fonctionne ici comme logement 6. Le support de symbole 3 dans cette forme de réalisation est représenté sur la figure 2 A comme indiquant pour une fiche mâle un sens d'enfoncement horizontal et sur la figure 2 B un sens d'enfoncement vertical.

   "Tangible symbols for covering installation devices."
The invention relates to palpable symbols for installation apparatus, within the scope of visually impaired men, according to the preamble of claim 1.



   The installation devices currently available with actuators for switches and central parts with or without a hinged cover for sockets are generally not equipped for commissioning by visually impaired humans.



   The object of the present invention is to characterize these devices for human beings with vision impairment. This problem is solved by the means indicated in claim 1. The secondary claims include advantageous improvements to the means indicated in claim 1.



   An exemplary embodiment will be explained in more detail using the drawings.



   Figure 1A shows an actuator of an electrical installation apparatus with an existing housing.



   Figure 1B shows an actuator according to Figure 1A, but with a larger symbol support.



   FIG. 2 A represents a current pnse covering with a hinged cover, in which a symbol support is arranged with indications of the horizontal driving direction for a male plug

 <Desc / Clms Page number 2>

 
FIG. 2 B represents the cover of the socket outlet according to FIG. 2 A, but with an indication of the vertical driving direction for a male plug.



   As can be seen in FIG. 1A, the embodiment given by way of example of an installation apparatus covering is represented in the form of a push button. The reference 1 designates the frame and the reference 2 the actuating member. On this actuator 2 is arranged in the center a circular symbol support 3 which can be implemented exchangeably in a housing 6 '. The palpable surface 4 of the symbol support 3 is characterized for example by a key symbol. Below the symbol support 3 there is frequently already provided in existing actuating members 2 a housing 6 which can be closed by a cover screen 5.



   In FIG. 1B, the same illustration is shown as in FIG. 1A, with the difference however that here the support of symbol 3, larger and rectangular, can be introduced into the housing already present 6 according to FIG. 1A . The key symbol selected here is synonymous with any other palpable symbol.



   In FIG. 2 A an embodiment given by way of example can be seen in the form of a cover for a safety socket outlet with a folding cover 7. The symbol support 3 is here arranged with a palpable surface 4 on the hinged cover which functions here as a housing 6. The symbol support 3 in this embodiment is shown in FIG. 2 A as indicating for a plug a horizontal direction of insertion and in FIG. 2 B a direction of insertion vertical.
