Definitions
- the invention relates to an emergency stop button according to the preamble of claim 1.
- an emergency stop device is known, the task of which is to immediately switch off an electrical machine in an emergency.
- This emergency can be, for example, existing danger for the operating personnel, overload or malfunction of the machine.
- switching devices of this type have a rotary mushroom which is mounted at least to a limited extent in a housing and is displaceable in the axial direction of the housing. The switching function is carried out by pushing in the rotary mushroom, the rotary mushroom being locked when it reaches its pressed-in end position, so that retraction of the rotary mushroom, for example in order to restart the machine, is not possible.
- the emergency stop button is unlocked by turning the rotary mushroom relative to the housing. The turning process can be blocked, for example, by a security lock, so that rotation of the rotary mushroom in the housing is only possible after unlocking the security lock.
- illuminated pushbuttons which have a housing and a hollow plunger which can be displaced long against a spring force, a light source fastened to the housing being arranged which illuminates a translucent sensing surface located on the end of the plunger from the inside.
- a converging lens arranged on the plunger, a matt screen contained in the touch surface is illuminated with a converging light beam.
- the illuminated pushbutton cannot easily be used as an emergency stop button because e.g. the locking function is missing. It is also not possible to convert to one.
- a push button switch can be found in DE 41 35 208 C2, which is composed of a modular system.
- a glow lamp is arranged as a luminous element in a base of the switch that can be used for different types of switches and is of uniform design.

- buttons constructed from the emergency stop button system being able to be assembled in a modular manner with parts designed jointly for different functions and parts individually designed for certain functions are.
- This modular principle means that parts can be used or used several times on the one hand (for example a common mushroom top part for an unlockable key and an illuminable key according to the invention), and on the other hand the design of the individual parts is not too complicated.
- a ram sleeve is individually provided with retaining ribs for a lock without having to integrate other functions or features.
- the emergency stop button system consists of at least a first mushroom head with a closed button surface for use in an emergency lock button that cannot be locked or illuminated
- the first Mushroom head is individually designed for this function, and consists of a second mushroom head with a key opening, into which a light signal element or a lock can be inserted, the second mushroom head being designed for both functions together
- the emergency stop button system also consists of at least a first one Upper part of the plunger for use in an emergency lock button that cannot be locked or illuminated, a second upper part of the plunger for use in an emergency stop button with lighting and a third upper part of the plunger for use in an unlockable emergency stop button, the upper part of the plunger for the respective function NEN are individually designed if the emergency stop button system consists of a first push button upper part with a first closed bottom with a substantially flat surface, if the emergency stop button system comprises a second push button upper part with a second bottom
- the type of locking can also be set without additional parts for the emergency stop button with lighting according to the invention if the plunger has locking means which can be used both for a train release and for a rotary release.
- the emergency stop button can be combined as desired if the switching, lighting and / or other functional elements can be snapped into the base in a modular manner
- a favorable embodiment which is based on familiar design principles, results when the emergency stop button has a key guide of an essentially tubular housing part which is provided with a first shoulder, an upper part of the plunger being axially insertable in the tubular housing part and embedded and rotatably arranged there is that the upper part of the ram has a second shoulder, a second spring element being arranged between the first shoulder of the housing part and the second shoulder, that a first spring element being arranged between the upper part of the ram and a plunger, the first spring element being located on a surface of the upper part of the ram and a third shoulder of the ice cream, wherein the plunger has a substantially tubular shape
