Abstract
A control and signaling device includes a cylindrical main body with two open ends, an operating element, which is designed for insertion into one of the open ends of the main body and has a switching part that is movable relative to the main body. The device also has a multipartite insert element, which is designed for insertion into the main body for bridging at least one portion of a switching path from the switching part to a contact element arranged at another of the open ends, and has an elastic element, which elastically supports a portion, provided for operating the contact element, of the insert element in such a way that a pressure force of the insert element onto the contact element is limited to a prespecified force range.
