SAFETY-SWITCH DEVICE FOR USE ON A MOVABLE DEVICE

摘要

A safety-switch device for mounting on a movable device. An impact surface is mounted on or assembled in a bracket. The bracket, impact surface, and a mounting surface of the movable device form a protective enclosure around the switch. The switch is a switch strip or a switch mat. The impact surface is a separate, movable, rigid or stiff component that serves as an actuator for the switch and is provided as a component that is easily replaceable. A trigger mechanism is provided between the impact surface and the switch. When the impact surface moves from its resting position to its actuation position, the trigger mechanism trips the switch.

1. A safety-switch device for use on a movable device, the safety-switch device comprising:
a switch; an enclosure surrounding the switch, the enclosure including a bracket that is mountable on a surface of a housing of the movable device and an impact surface that is replaceably assembled on the bracket; wherein the impact surface is constructed as a rigid element and is movably assembled in the bracket, so as to be movable between a first resting position and a second actuation position that triggers a switch operation of the switch; and wherein a trigger mechanism is placed between the impact surface and the switch and triggers the switch when the impact surface moves to its actuation position.
