Process and device for regulating the earth-related inclination of

The invention relates to a push-pull actuator for key switches with a mushroom knob (1) which is loaded by a restoring force and is supported longitudinally movable. This mushroom knob (1) is separated from the actuating plunger. This actuating plunger is spring-loaded in the switching direction and is locked in the operating position by rocker levers (13). The locking is cancelled by a relative motion between the mushroom knob (1) and the actuating plunger (6) by the sliding of inclined surfaces (23) at the edges of the rocker levers (13) so that the actuating plunger is moved into the off position by the spring (20). In the off position, the rocker levers (13) with the back sides (19) are brought into engagement with the end faces (18) of the rocker levers.

Push-pull actuator for key switches

A pushbutton contactor has means for transforming the contacting function into a locking function or vice versa in which detent means are provided on the actuating member which cooperate with cam surfaces in the guide cylinder of the pushbutton contactor. Different cam surfaces in a guide cylinder are offset from each other and can be brought into operative connection with the detent means. By simple displacement of the actuating member, the function of the pushbutton contact can be changed from a locking to an intermittent contact or vice versa.
