Abstract
An operating attachment () for operating a push button or switch, which includes a housing, () a handling part () having an actuator element () supported by said housing () for rotation in a direction of rotation (U), an operating element () displaceable parallel to a longitudinal axis (L) of the housing for operating a push button or switch, an operating drive () for transferring rotary movement of the actuator element () into a linear motion of the operating element () between an initial position (A) and an operating position (B), and a latching device () for latching the actuator element () in a latched position (R). The attachment apparatus () further includes at least one encoding element () moveable between a first encoding position (K) that allows for rotation of the actuator () into the latched position (R) and a second encoding position (K) which limits rotation of the actuator element () prior to reaching the latched position (R). The illustrated encoding element () further is moveable to a third encoding position (K).
