DEVICE FOR COVERING AN ACTUATING ELEMENT, EMERGENCY ACTUATING DEVICE, AND A METHOD FOR SECURING A PANE

摘要

A device for covering an actuating element having a pane for covering the actuating element and a frame for receiving the pane, the frame has an inner opening and a guideway for guiding the pane from a covering position into an access position. In the covering position, the pane closes the inner opening. In the access position, the pane at least partially exposes the inner opening to allow an operator to have access to the actuating element through the inner opening. In addition, the device has a retainer element which is designed to hold the pane in the covering position when a force acting on the retainer element via the pane is smaller than a release force. Furthermore, the retainer element is designed to allow the pane to move into the access position when a force acting on the retainer element via the pane is greater than the release force.
