Abstract: A frame for a battery-operated industrial truck includes a forward frame segment, a middle frame segment, and a rear frame segment. The middle frame segment is designed to hold a battery block and is provided with a frame top opening and a frame side opening through which the battery block can be inserted in the frame and removed again.

The sensor button essentially forms one pole of a capacitor and is electrically connected to an evaluating circuit of the touch contact switch, wherein switching is initiated as a result of a capacitance change in consequence of approach or contact. The sensor button can be bonded directly on a mounting plate of the associated electrical evaluating circuit or can be engaged by a pin or the like. The body can be flush to the underside of a cover, which forms or contains the contact surface. The body can include an opening along the longitudinal axis in which is insertable a LED.
