Abstract
A foot pedal switch for manually operating a medical diagnostic apparatus has a switch housing and a switching rocker with a neutral position that can be rotated around a rotational axle, with the rotational axle projecting from the housing such that it forms a bearing point of the foot pedal switch with its free end. The switching rocker is angled twice, and the axle has a semicircular outer region, so that, viewed laterally, a central rectangular surface of the switching rocker is secured on the straight surface of the rotational axle in a horizontally oriented fashion, while two lateral switching surfaces, which are rounded in front, project upwardly.
