Abstract

Bekannt ist ein Drucktaster mit einem Tastelement, das in einer Gehäuseblende verschiebbar angeordnet ist, zur Betätigung einer Taste bzw. eines Kontaktes, die hinter der Gehäuseblende im Abstand dazu gehäusefest angeordnet sind, wobei mit dem Tastelement ein Betätigungselement gegen den Widerstand eines sich am Gehäuse abstützenden Federelements an die Taste bzw. den Kontakt drückbar ist. Um den Drucktaster fertigungs- und montagetechnisch zu vereinfachen, ist das Federelement einteilig mit dem Tastelement und/oder dem Betätigungselement (23) ausgeformt.

Figure 00000001
A pushbutton with a pushbutton element, which is arranged displaceably in a housing panel, for actuating a button or a contact, which are arranged at a distance from the housing panel behind the housing panel, is known, with the pushbutton element an actuating element against the resistance of a support on the housing Spring element can be pressed to the button or the contact. In order to simplify the pushbutton in terms of production and assembly, the spring element is formed in one piece with the pushbutton element and / or the actuating element (23).
