Description

TECHNISCHES GEBIETTECHNICAL AREA

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Betätigungsvorrichtung für ein Ablaufventil eines Spülkastens gemäss dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The present invention relates to an actuating device for a drain valve of a cistern according to the preamble of claim 1.

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

Betätigungsplatten mit Betätigungstasten für die Auslösung einer Spülung bei einem Spülkasten sind aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt. Vielfach wird über ein Entfernen der Betätigungstasten, wie beispielsweise durch ein Hochklappen derselben, Zugang zum hinter der Betätigungsplatte angeordneten Spülkasten geschaffen. Somit erhält der Installateur Zugang zum Spülkasten für Revisionszwecke. Eine solche Betätigungsplatte wird beispielsweise in der EP 2 489 795 gezeigt.Actuation plates with actuation buttons for triggering a flush in a cistern are known from the prior art. In many cases, access to the cistern disposed behind the actuating plate is provided by removing the actuating buttons, such as by folding them up. Thus, the installer gets access to the cistern for auditing purposes. Such actuator plate is used for example in the EP 2 489 795 shown.

Ein Problem, welches sich bei den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Betätigungsplatten ergibt, ist dass der Zugangsbereich bei der Betätigungstaste in Revisionsstellung meist durch die Betätigungstaste blockiert wird. Dieses Problem wird bei Betätigungsplatten mit geringer Bautiefe oder flächenbündigen Betätigungsplatten noch vergrössert, weil die Verschwenkbarkeit der Betätiugungstasten in eine Revisionsstellung meist limitiert ist.A problem which results in the known from the prior art actuation plates is that the access area is usually blocked in the operating position in revision position by the operation key. This problem is further increased in actuator plates with a small overall depth or flush actuation plates, because the pivotability of the Betätiugungstasten is usually limited to a revision position.

DARSTELLUNG DER ERFINDUNGPRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung eine Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Betätigungsvorrichtung anzugeben, welche die Nachteile des Standes der Technik überwindet. Insbesondere soll die Betätigungstaste unter der Massgabe einer geringen Bautiefe der Betätigungsvorrichtung für die Revisionsstellung möglichst weit öffnenbar sein.Starting from this prior art, the invention has for its object to provide an actuating device which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, the operation button under the proviso of a small Depth of the actuator for the revision position as far as possible be open.

Diese Aufgabe löst der Gegenstand von Anspruch 1. Demgemäss umfasst eine Betätigungsvorrichtung für ein Ablaufventil eines Spülkastens eine Betätigungsplatte, in welcher mindestens ein Betätigungselement für eine Spülauslösung gelagert ist, wobei das mindestens eine Betätigungselement bei der Spülauslösung entlang einer Betätigungsrichtung von einer Ausgangsstellung in eine Endstellung bewegbar ist, und wobei das mindestens eine Betätigungselement entlang einer Schwenkbewegung um mindestens eine Schwenkachse gegen die Betätigungsrichtung von der Ausgangsstellung in eine Revisionsstellung bewegbar ist. Das Betätigungselement steht über einen Schwenkhebel mit der Betätigungsplatte in Verbindung, wobei der besagte Schwenkhebel über ein erstes Schwenklager mit der Betätigungsplatte und über ein zweites Schwenklager mit dem Betätigungselement in Verbindung steht. Das Betätigungselement ist über das erste Schwenklager relativ zur Betätigungsplatte von der Ausgangsstellung in eine Zwischenstellung verschwenkbar. Weiter ist das Betätigungselement über das zweite Schwenklager relativ zum Schwenkhebel von der Zwischenstellung in die Revisionsstellung verschwenkbar.This object is achieved by the subject matter of claim 1. Accordingly, an actuating device for a drain valve of a cistern comprises an actuating plate in which at least one actuating element is mounted for a Spülauslösung, wherein the at least one actuating element in the Spülauslösung along an actuating direction from an initial position to an end position movable is, and wherein the at least one actuating element is movable along a pivoting movement about at least one pivot axis against the actuating direction of the starting position in a revision position. The actuating element is connected via a pivot lever with the actuating plate in connection, said pivot lever is connected via a first pivot bearing with the actuating plate and a second pivot bearing with the actuating element in connection. The actuating element is pivotable relative to the actuating plate from the initial position to an intermediate position via the first pivot bearing. Further, the actuating element via the second pivot bearing is pivotable relative to the pivot lever of the intermediate position in the revision position.

Durch die relative Verschwenkung zwischen Betätigungselement und Schwenkhebel kann der Öffnungsgrad zwischen Betätigungselement und Betätigungsplatte vergrössert werden, ohne dass die Einbautiefe der Betätigungsplatte vergössert werden muss. Somit kann ein verbesserter Zugang zu den Bereichen, die hinter den Betätigungselementen liegen, geschaffen werden.Due to the relative pivoting between the actuating element and the pivot lever, the degree of opening between the actuating element and the actuating plate can be increased without the installation depth of the actuating plate having to be increased. Thus, improved access to the areas behind the actuators can be provided.

Aufgrund der grösseren Öffnung kann auch mit kleineren Betätigungstasten ein guter Zugang zu den entsprechenden Bereichen hinter den beiden Betätigungstasten geschaffen werden. Mit anderen Worten ist es möglich, auch schwierige, insbesondere kleinere, Betätigungselemente effizient mit dem gewünschten Effekt der Zugänglichkeit nach vorne auszuschwenken.Due to the larger opening, it is also possible to create good access to the corresponding areas behind the two actuating buttons, even with smaller actuating buttons. In other words, it is possible to swing out even difficult, especially smaller, actuators efficiently with the desired effect of accessibility forward.

Vorzugsweise stellt jedes der Schwenklager eine Schwenkachse bereit. Die Schwenkachse des ersten Schwenklagers und die Schwenkachse des zweiten Schwenklagers liegen vorzugsweise parallel und versetzt zueinander.Preferably, each of the pivot bearings provides a pivot axis. The pivot axis of the first pivot bearing and the pivot axis of the second pivot bearing lie preferably parallel and staggered.

Das Betätigungselement ist vorzugsweise eine Betätigungstaste. Die Betätigungsplatte wird vorzugsweise als Aufnahme für die Betätigungselemente bereitgestellt und umfasst vorzugsweise entsprechende Vertiefungen. Die Betätigungsplatte kann mit einer Wand und/oder einen Spülkasten verbunden werden.The actuating element is preferably an actuating button. The actuating plate is preferably provided as a receptacle for the actuating elements and preferably comprises corresponding recesses. The actuator plate can be connected to a wall and / or a cistern.

Die Betätigungsplatte kann als flächenbündige Betätigungsplatte oder als Betätigungsplatte, die Aufputz montiert wird, ausgebildet sein.The actuator plate can be designed as a flush-mounted actuator plate or as an actuator plate, the surface-mounted.

Vorzugsweise ist pro Betätigungselement ein Schwenkhebel angeordnet.Preferably, a pivot lever is arranged per actuating element.

Vorzugsweise stehen der Schwenkhebel und das Betätigungselement weiter über mindestens ein Verbindungselement, insbesondere über ein mechanisches Verbindungselement, wie eine Rastverbindung oder eine Schnappverbindung, miteinander in Verbindung, welche Verbindung bei der Bewegung von der Zwischenstellung in die Revisionsstellung aufhebbar ist. Das Verbindungselement ist derart ausgebildet, dass es leicht, insbesondere von Hand, trennbar ist. Mit anderen Worten: Das mechanische Verbindungselement sorgt für die Verbindung zwischen dem Schwenkhebel und dem Betätigungselement während des Verschwenkens von der Ausgangsstellung in die Zwischenstellung. Für die Verschwenkung von der Zwischenstellung in die Revisionsstellung kommt es dann zu einer Trennung des mechanischen Verbindungselementes, wobei das Betätigungselement dann relativ zum Schwenkhebel verschwenkbar ist.Preferably, the pivot lever and the actuating element are further connected to each other via at least one connecting element, in particular via a mechanical connecting element, such as a latching connection or a snap connection, which connection can be canceled in the movement from the intermediate position to the revision position. The connecting element is designed such that it is easy, in particular by hand, separable. In other words, the mechanical connecting element ensures the connection between the pivoting lever and the actuating element during the pivoting from the starting position into the intermediate position. For the pivoting of the intermediate position in the revision position, it then comes to a separation of the mechanical connecting element, wherein the actuating element is then pivotable relative to the pivot lever.

BESCHREIBUNG BEVORZUGTER AUSFÜHRUNGSFORMENDESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In der Figur 1 wird eine Betätigungsvorrichtung 1 für ein Ablaufventil eines Spülkastens gezeigt. Die Betätigungsvorrichtung 1 umfasst eine Betätigungsplatte 2, in welcher mindestens ein Betätigungselement 3, 4 für eine Spülauslösung gelagert sind. In der vorliegenden Ausführungsform sind zwei Betätigungselemente 3, 4 vorhanden, welche nebeneinander in entsprechenden Aufnahmen in der Betätigungsplatte 2 angeordnet sind. Die Betätigungselemente 3, 4 sind hier als Betätigungstasten ausgebildet. Die eine Betätigungstaste, hier die Betätigungstaste 3, ist dabei grösser als die andere der Betätigungstasten, hier die Betätigungstaste 4.In the FIG. 1 an actuator 1 for a drain valve of a cistern is shown. The actuating device 1 comprises an actuating plate 2, in which at least one actuating element 3, 4 are mounted for a flushing trigger. In the present embodiment, two actuating elements 3, 4 are present, which are arranged side by side in corresponding receptacles in the actuating plate 2. The actuators 3, 4 are designed here as actuation buttons. The one button, here the button 3, is greater than the other of the buttons, here the button 4.

Bei der Spülauslösung werden die Betätigungselemente 3, 4 entlang einer Betätigungsbewegung B von einer Ausgangsstellung in eine Endstellung bewegt. Hierdurch kann ein Ablaufventil im Spülkasten betätigt werden. Die Betätigungsrichtung B ist hier im Wesentlichen rechtwinklig zur Zeichnungsblattoberfläche. Weiter ist das mindestens eine Betätigungselement 3, 4 entlang einer Schwenkbewegung V, W um eine Schwenkachse A bzw. D gegen die Betätigungsrichtung B von einer Ausgangsstellung in eine Revisionsstellung bewegbar.When flushing the actuators 3, 4 are moved along an actuating movement B from a starting position to an end position. As a result, a drain valve can be actuated in the cistern. The actuating direction B is here substantially at right angles to the sheet of drawing sheet. Further, the at least one actuating element 3, 4 along a pivoting movement V, W about a pivot axis A and D against the operating direction B from a starting position into a revision position movable.

In der Figur 2 wird die Betätigungsplatte 2 gemäss der Figur 1 gezeigt, wobei die Betätigungselemente 3, 4 in der Revisionsstellung sind. Die Betätigungselemente 3, 4 wurden dabei um die Schwenkachse A von der Ausgangstellung in die Revisionsstellung verschwenkt. Dabei ist jedes der Betätigungselemente 3, 4 um eine eigene Schwenkachse A verschwenkbar. In der Revisionsstellung sind die unterhalb der Betätigungselemente 3, 4 liegenden Bereiche der Betätigungsplatte 2 zugänglich.In the FIG. 2 is the actuator plate 2 according to the FIG. 1 shown, wherein the actuators 3, 4 are in the revision position. The actuators 3, 4 were pivoted about the pivot axis A from the initial position to the revision position. Each of the actuating elements 3, 4 is pivotable about its own pivot axis A. In the revision position lying below the actuators 3, 4 areas of the actuator plate 2 are accessible.

In den Figuren 3 und 4 wird die Betätigungsvorrichtung 1 von hinten gezeigt. Jedes der Betätigungselemente 3, 4 ist über einen Schwenkhebel 5, 6 mit der Betätigungsplatte 2 in Verbindung. Der Schwenkhebel 5, 6 ist dabei über ein erstes Schwenklager 7, 8 mit der Betätigungsplatte 2 verbunden. Über ein zweites Schwenklager 9, 10 steht der Schwenkhebel 5, 6 mit dem Betätigungselement 3, 4 in Verbindung. Das Betätigungselement 3, 4 ist über das erste Schwenklager 7, 8 relativ zur Betätigungsplatte 2 von der Ausgangsstellung in eine Zwischenstellung verschwenkbar. Weiter ist das Betätigungselement 3, 4 über das zweite Schwenklager 9, 10 relativ zum Schwenkhebel 5, 6 von der Zwischenstellung in die Revisionsstellung verschwenkbar. Die Verschwenkung des Betätigungselementes 3, 4 von der Ausgangslage in die Revisionsstellung erfolgt dabei über zwei Schritte, nämlich in einem ersten Schritt über das erste Schwenklager 7, 8, wobei das Betätigungselement 3, 4 relativ zur Betätigungsplatte 2, nicht aber zum Schwenkhebel 5, 6, verschwenkt wird und über einen zweiten Schritt über das zweite Schwenklager 9, 10, wobei das Betätigungselement 3, 4 relativ zum entsprechenden Schwenkhebel 5, 6 verschwenkt wird. Das erste Schwenklager 7, 8 stellt dabei die Schwenkachse A und das zweite Schwenklager 9, 10 stellt die zweite Schwenkachse D bereit. Die Schwenkachse A des ersten Schwenklagers 7 und die Schwenkachse D des zweiten Schwenklagers 8 sind parallel zueinander und können kollinear oder versetzt zueinander verlaufen.
Anhand der Figuren 5a bis 7d wird nun die Verschwenkung genauer erläutert. In den Figuren 5a, 5b, 5c stehen die beiden Betätigungselemente 3, 4 in der Zwischenstellung. Bei einem Verschwenken der Betätigungselement 3, 4 von der Ausgangsstellung in die Zwischenstellung wird nun das Betätigungselement 3, 4 um das erste Schwenklager 7, 8 verschwenkt. Hierbei werden die Betätigungselemente 3, 4 um die Achse A verschwenkt. Der Verschwenkweg wird durch das Bezugszeichen V symbolisiert.
In den Figuren 6a bis 6d wird die verschwenkte Stellung der Betätigungselemente in der Revisionsstellung bzw. der Zwischenstellung gezeigt. Die Verschwenkung um die Schwenkachse A wird in den Figuren 5b und 5c mit dem Pfeil V dargestellt. Von der Zwischenstellung, wie in den Figuren 5b und 5c gezeigt, wird nun das Betätigungselement 3, 4 um das zweite Schwenklager 9, 10 verschwenkt. Hierbei erfolgt die Verschwenkung über die Schwenkachse D welche vom zweiten Schwenklager 9, 10 bereitgestellt wird. Die Schwenkbewegung wird durch den Pfeil W dargestellt. Vom Verschwenken des Betätigungselementes 3, 4 von der Zwischenstellung in die Revisionsstellung wird das Betätigungselement 3, 4 relativ zum im Wesentlichen stehenden Schwenkhebel 5, 6 verschwenkt, derart dass eine relative Verschwenkung zwischen Schwenkhebel 5, 6 und Betätigungselement 3, 4 bereitgestellt wird.
Die Schwenkbewegung um die Schwenkachse D wird mit dem Pfeil W symbolisiert. Die Schwenkachse D verläuft vorzugsweise parallel und beabstandet zur Schwenkachse A.
Von der Figur 7a, welche, wie bereits erwähnt, ebenfalls die Revisionsstellung zeigt, kann gut erkannt werden, dass durch die Stellung der Betätigungselemente 3, 4 ein guter Zugang zu den Bereichen hinter den Betätigungselementen 3, 4 geschaffen wird. Beispielsweise wird hier ein Zugang zu den Durchgangsöffnungen 28 geschaffen, durch welche ein Befestigungsmittel hindurchführbar ist, so dass die Betätigungsplatte 2 zu einem Spülkasten montiert werden kann. Der Grad der Verschwenkung der Betätigungselemente 3, 4 ist dabei vorzugsweise derart, dass auf die Öffnungen 28 in rechtwinkliger Richtung zur allgemeinen Orientierung der Betätigungsplatte 2 zugegriffen werden kann. So kann der Installateur beispielsweise mit einem Schraubendreher die Schraube, welche durch die Durchgangsöffnung 28 hindurchgeführt ist, einfach ergreifen.In the FIGS. 3 and 4 the actuator 1 is shown from the rear. Each of the actuators 3, 4 is connected via a pivot lever 5, 6 with the actuator plate 2 in connection. The pivot lever 5, 6 is connected via a first pivot bearing 7, 8 with the actuator plate 2. Via a second pivot bearing 9, 10 of the pivot lever 5, 6 with the actuating element 3, 4 in connection. The actuating element 3, 4 can be pivoted via the first pivot bearing 7, 8 relative to the actuating plate 2 from the starting position into an intermediate position. Next, the actuating element 3, 4 via the second pivot bearing 9, 10 relative to the pivot lever 5, 6 from the intermediate position to the revision position pivotable. The pivoting of the actuating element 3, 4 from the starting position to the revision position takes place via two steps, namely in a first step on the first pivot bearing 7, 8, wherein the actuating element 3, 4 relative to the actuating plate 2, but not the pivot lever 5, the sixth is pivoted and a second step on the second pivot bearing 9, 10, wherein the actuating element 3, 4 is pivoted relative to the respective pivot lever 5, 6. The first pivot bearing 7, 8 in this case provides the pivot axis A and the second pivot bearing 9, 10 provides the second pivot axis D ready. The pivot axis A of the first pivot bearing 7 and the pivot axis D of the second pivot bearing 8 are parallel to each other and can be collinear or offset to each other.
Based on FIGS. 5a to 7d now the pivoting is explained in more detail. In the FIGS. 5a, 5b, 5c are the two actuators 3, 4 in the intermediate position. Upon pivoting the actuating element 3, 4 from the starting position into the intermediate position, the actuating element 3, 4 is now pivoted about the first pivot bearing 7, 8. Here, the actuators 3, 4 are pivoted about the axis A. The Verschwenkweg is symbolized by the reference symbol V.
In the FIGS. 6a to 6d the pivoted position of the actuators in the revision position or the intermediate position is shown. The pivoting about the pivot axis A is in the FIGS. 5b and 5c represented by the arrow V. From the intermediate position, as in the FIGS. 5b and 5c shown, the actuating element 3, 4 is now pivoted about the second pivot bearing 9, 10. Here, the pivoting takes place via the pivot axis D which is provided by the second pivot bearing 9, 10. The pivoting movement is represented by the arrow W. By pivoting the actuating element 3, 4 from the intermediate position to the revision position, the actuating element 3, 4 is pivoted relative to the substantially stationary pivot lever 5, 6, such that a relative pivoting between the pivot lever 5, 6 and actuator 3, 4 is provided.
The pivoting movement about the pivot axis D is symbolized by the arrow W. The pivot axis D preferably runs parallel and spaced from the pivot axis A.
Of the Figure 7a , which, as already mentioned, also shows the revision position, can be well recognized that the position of the actuators 3, 4 provides good access to the areas behind the actuators 3, 4. For example, an access to the through openings 28 is provided here, through which a fastening means can be passed, so that the actuating plate 2 can be mounted to a cistern. The degree of pivoting of the actuating elements 3, 4 is preferably such that the openings 28 in the direction perpendicular to the general orientation of the actuator plate 2 can be accessed. So the installer can, for example, with a screwdriver, the screw, which through the Through hole 28 is passed, just grab.

Der Schwenkhebel 5, 6 und das Betätigungselemente 3, 4 stehen weiter über mindestens ein Verbindungselement 11 miteinander in Verbindung. Das Verbindungselement 11, welches in den Figuren 3 und 4 gut erkannt werden kann, ist hier ein mechanisches Rastelement 11. Über dieses Rastelement kann das Betätigungselement 3, 4 am jeweiligen Schwenkhebel 5, 6 eingerastet werden. Das Rastelement 11 wird bei der Bewegung von der Zwischenstellung in die Revisionsstellung getrennt, sodass das Betätigungselement 3, 4 mit dem Schwenkhebel 5, 6 nur noch über das zweite Schwenklager 9, 10, nicht aber über das Verbindungselement 11, in Verbindung stehen. Andere Arten des Rastelementes sind auch denkbar. Das mechanische Rastelement 11 sorgt für die Verbindung zwischen dem Schwenkhebel 5, 6 und dem Betätigungselement 3, 4 während des oben genannten ersten Schrittes beim Verschwenken von der Ausgangsstellung in die Revisionsstellung. Für den zweiten Schritt wird diese Verbindung dann aufgehoben. Es kommt also dann zu einer Trennung des mechanischen Verbindungselementes 11, wobei das Betätigungselement 3, 4 dann relativ zum Schwenkhebel 5, 6 verschwenkbar ist.The pivot lever 5, 6 and the actuating elements 3, 4 are further connected via at least one connecting element 11 with each other. The connecting element 11, which in the FIGS. 3 and 4 can be well recognized, here is a mechanical locking element 11. About this locking element, the actuator 3, 4 are engaged on the respective pivot lever 5, 6. The locking element 11 is separated in the movement of the intermediate position in the revision position, so that the actuating element 3, 4 with the pivot lever 5, 6 only via the second pivot bearing 9, 10, but not via the connecting element 11, in conjunction. Other types of locking element are also conceivable. The mechanical locking element 11 ensures the connection between the pivot lever 5, 6 and the actuating element 3, 4 during the above-mentioned first step during pivoting from the starting position into the revision position. For the second step, this connection is then canceled. It then comes to a separation of the mechanical connecting element 11, wherein the actuating element 3, 4 then relative to the pivot lever 5, 6 is pivotable.

Die beiden Schwenklager 9, 10 sind beabstandet zueinander am Schwenkhebel 5, 6 angeordnet. Das heisst konkret, dass die dem Schwenkhebel 5, 6 zugeordneten Teile des ersten Schwenklagers 7, 8 und die dem Schwenkhebel 5, 6 zugeordneten Teile des zweiten Schwenklagers 9, 10 beabstandet zueinander liegen. Im vorliegenden Fall sind die dem ersten Schwenklager 7, 8 zugeordneten Teile am freien Ende 12 des Schwenkhebels angeordnet und die dem zweiten Schwenklager 9, 10 zugeordneten Teile liegen zwischen den beiden freien Enden 12 des Schwenkhebels 5, 6.The two pivot bearings 9, 10 are spaced from each other on the pivot lever 5, 6 are arranged. This means, in concrete terms, that the parts of the first pivot bearing 7, 8 assigned to the pivot lever 5, 6 and the parts of the second pivot bearing 9, 10 assigned to the pivot lever 5, 6 are at a distance from one another. In the present case, the parts assigned to the first pivot bearing 7, 8 are arranged at the free end 12 of the pivoting lever and the parts associated with the second pivoting bearing 9, 10 lie between the two free ends 12 of the pivoting lever 5, 6.

Weiter kann von der Figur 4 erkannt werden, dass der Schwenkhebel 5, 6 ebenfalls einen Anschlagsabschnitt 13, 14 umfasst. Der Anschlagsabschnitt 13, 14 liegt hier zwischen den jeweiligen Teilen der Schwenklager 7, 8, 9, 12. Über den Anschlagsabschnitt 13, 14 kann der Schwenkhebel 5, 6 in der Zwischenstellung und/oder der Revisionsstellung an der Betätigungsplatte 2, hier an deren Rückseite 15, anschlagen.Next can of the FIG. 4 be recognized that the pivot lever 5, 6 also includes a stopper portion 13, 14. The stop portion 13, 14 is here between the respective parts of the pivot bearing 7, 8, 9, 12. About the stopper portion 13, 14, the pivot lever 5, 6 in the intermediate position and / or the revision position on the actuator plate 2, here at the rear 15, strike.

Des Weiteren weist der Schwenkhebel 5, 6 eine Lagerfläche 18, 19 auf, auf welcher das Betätigungselement 3, 4 aufliegt. Die Lagerfläche 18, 19 weist eine Grösse auf, welche eine Auflage der Betätigungselemente 3, 4 erlaubt.Furthermore, the pivot lever 5, 6 a bearing surface 18, 19, on which the actuating element 3, 4 rests. The bearing surface 18, 19 has a size, which a support of the actuators 3, 4 allowed.

Das zweite Schwenklager 9, 10 ist bezüglich der Reibung und/oder bezüglich dessen Abmassen derart ausgebildet, dass das Betätigungselement 3, 4 in der Revisionslage verharrt. Das heisst bezüglich der Figuren 7a bis 7d, dass sobald die Revisionslage durch die Betätigungselemente 3, 4 eingenommen worden ist, dieselben in ihrer Revisionslage verharren und dann bei Aufwendung einer Kraft entgegen die Verschwenkrichtung W wieder in die Zwischenlage bewegt werden können.The second pivot bearing 9, 10 is formed with respect to the friction and / or with respect to its dimensions such that the actuating element 3, 4 remains in the revision position. That means in terms of FIGS. 7a to 7d in that, as soon as the revision layer has been occupied by the actuating elements 3, 4, they remain in their revision position and can then be moved back into the intermediate position upon application of a force against the pivoting direction W.

Der Schwenkhebel 5, 6 ist dabei weiter derart ausgebildet, dass dieser in der Zwischenstellung bzw. in der Revisionsstellung über ein Rastelement 20, 21 mit der Betätigungsplatte 2 verrastet. Die beiden Rastelemente 20, 21 können in der Figur 7c sowie den Figuren 3 und 4 gut erkannt werden. Es handelt sich hierbei um Rastelemente 20, 21, welche von der Rückseite 15 der Betätigungsplatte 2 abstehen und dann mit dem Schwenkhebel 5, 6, wenn dieser zum Rastelement 20, 21 hinzugeschwenkt wird, die besagte Rastverbindung eingehen. Über dieses Rastelement 20, 21 wird die Position des Schwenkhebels 5, 6 relativ zur Betätigungsplatte 2 in der Zwischenstellung und der Revisionsstellung fixiert.The pivot lever 5, 6 is further designed such that it is locked in the intermediate position or in the revision position via a latching element 20, 21 with the actuator plate 2. The two locking elements 20, 21 can in the FIG. 7c as well as the FIGS. 3 and 4 be well recognized. These are latching elements 20, 21 which protrude from the rear side 15 of the actuating plate 2 and then enter into the said latching connection with the pivoting lever 5, 6 when it is pivoted to the latching element 20, 21. About this locking element 20, 21, the position of the pivot lever 5, 6 is fixed relative to the actuating plate 2 in the intermediate position and the revision position.

Wie von den Figuren 3 und 4 erkannt werden kann weist jeder der Schwenkhebel in der gezeigten Ausführungsform jeweils zwei Lagerstellen auf. Die Lagerstellen sind dabei beabstandet zueinander angeordnet. Grundsätzlich kann gesagt werden, je grösser der Abstand zwischen den beiden Lagerstellen ist, desto weniger kann der Schwenkhebel um die Schwenkachse A bewegt werden. Gleiches gilt bezüglich der Verschwenkung der Betätigungselemente 3, 4 relativ zum Schwenkhebel 5, 6.How of the FIGS. 3 and 4 can be recognized, each of the pivot lever in the embodiment shown in each case two bearings. The bearings are spaced from each other. In principle, it can be said that the greater the distance between the two bearing points, the less the pivot lever can be moved about the pivot axis A. The same applies with respect to the pivoting of the actuating elements 3, 4 relative to the pivot lever 5, the sixth

In der gezeigten Ausführungsform umfassen die Schwenklager 7, 8, 9, 10 jeweils mindestens eine Lageraufnahme 22 und mindesten einen Lagerzapfen 23. Der Lagerzapfen 23 ist dabei verschwenkbar in der Lageraufnahme 22 gelagert. In der gezeigten Ausführungsform sind jeweils die Lageraufnahme 22 am Schwenkhebel 5, 6 angeordnet und der Lagerzapfen 23 ist an der Betätigungsplatte 2 beziehungsweise dem Betätigungselement 3, 4 angeordnet. Eine umgekehrte Anordnung wäre auch denkbar.In the embodiment shown, the pivot bearings 7, 8, 9, 10 each comprise at least one bearing receptacle 22 and at least one bearing journal 23. The bearing journal 23 is pivotably mounted in the bearing receptacle 22. In the embodiment shown, the bearing receptacle 22 are respectively arranged on the pivot lever 5, 6, and the bearing journal 23 is arranged on the actuating plate 2 or the actuating element 3, 4. A reverse arrangement would also be conceivable.

Von den Figuren 1 und 2 kann gut erkannt werden, dass die Ausdehnung des Betätigungselementes 3 bezüglich einer Querrichtung Q, die quer zur Schwenkachse A verläuft, grösser ausgebildet ist als die Ausdehnung des Betätigungselementes 4 in die gleiche Richtung. Je nach Ausbildung der Bereiche, zu welchen in der Revisionsstellung Zugang geschaffen werden soll, kann der Schwenkwinkel des kleineren Betätigungselementes 4 grösser sein als der Schwenkwinkel des grösseren Betätigungselementes 3. Dies wird von den Figuren 2 und 7b beziehungsweise 7c evident, wo gezeigt wird, dass das kleinere Betätigungselement 4 um einen grösseren Winkel von der Ausgangstellung in die Revisionsstellung verschwenkt wird.Of the Figures 1 and 2 can be well recognized that the extension of the actuating element 3 with respect to a transverse direction Q, which extends transversely to the pivot axis A, is formed larger than the extension of the actuating element 4 in the same direction. Depending on the design of the areas to which access is to be created in the revision position, the pivoting angle of the smaller actuating element 4 may be greater than the pivoting angle of the larger actuating element 3. This is from the Figures 2 and 7b or 7c evident, where it is shown that the smaller actuator 4 is pivoted by a larger angle from the initial position to the revision position.

Die Betätigungsvorrichtung 1 umfasst weiter mindestens ein Verriegelungselement 24. Das Verriegelungselement 24 stellt dabei einen Anschlag gegen eine Bewegung von der Ausgangsstellung in die Revisionsstellung für die Betätigungselemente 3, 4 bereit. Folglich muss also das Verriegelungselement 24 betätigt werden, wenn die beiden Betätigungselemente 3, 4 von der Ausgangsstellung in die Revisionsstellung zu bewegen sind. Die beiden Betätigungselemente 3, 4 verfügen über ein Anschlagselement 25, 26, welches in der Ausgansstellung mit dem Verriegelungselement 24 in Verbindung steht. Soll nun das Betätigungselement 3, 4 in die Revisionsstellung verschwenkt werden, so wird das Verriegelungselement 24 betätigt, wodurch der Anschlag mit den Anschlagselementen 25, 26 aufgehoben wird und einer Bewegung in Richtung der Revisionsstellung erlaubt wird.The actuating device 1 further comprises at least one locking element 24. The locking element 24 provides a stop against movement from the starting position to the revision position for the actuating elements 3, 4 ready. Consequently, therefore, the locking element 24 must be actuated when the two actuating elements 3, 4 are to be moved from the starting position to the revision position. The two actuating elements 3, 4 have a stop element 25, 26, which is in the Ausgansstellung with the locking element 24 in connection. If now the actuating element 3, 4 are pivoted into the revision position, the locking element 24 is actuated, whereby the stop with the stop elements 25, 26 is released and a movement in the direction of the revision position is allowed.

Bevorzugt ist das Verriegelungselement gemäss der EP 2 489 794 ausgebildet. Es kann aber auch anders ausgebildet sein.Preferably, the locking element according to the EP 2 489 794 educated. But it can also be designed differently.

In der vorliegenden Ausführungsform liegt zwischen der Betätigungsplatte 2 und dem jeweiligen Betätigungselement 3, 4 weiter jeweils ein Federelement 29, welches für die Rückstellung von der Betätigungsstellung in die Ausgangsstellung erlaubt.
