Abstract: A push-button switch assembly with identification of switching states includes: a push-button switch having an actuating head for actuating the push-button switch and having a push-button guide; and an adapter device for attaching the push-button switch to a housing body. The adapter device fastens the push-button switch in a bore of the housing body. The adapter device compensates for a different diameter of the bore of the housing body and the push-button guide. The push-button guide has a plunger which is arranged in a hollow body of the push-button guide and movable in the hollow body of the push-button guide when the actuating head is actuated. By actuating the actuating head, the push-button switch is switchable from a non-released state to a released state. The push-button switch is arranged such that a region thereof visibly protrudes from under the actuating head when the push-button switch is in the non-released state.

Abstract: A push-button switch assembly with means for indicating a switch status includes: an actuation head for actuating the push-button switch assembly, the actuation head having a disc-shaped upper part and a tubular lower part; a sleeve-type push-button guide which is coupled to the actuation head such that, in relation to a longitudinal axis of the push-button switch assembly, the upper part is arranged above the push-button guide and the lower part surrounds the push-button guide; a sleeve-type locking unit for determining a switch status of the push-button switch assembly, the sleeve-type locking unit being arranged within the push-button guide in relation to the longitudinal axis and being transferrable between a first and a second locking state by the actuation head, the locking unit having a plunger sleeve and an annular detent catch coupled to the plunger sleeve, which delimit a central through-opening through the locking unit.

The light guide extends through the actuation head with a top end in a predetermined position such that the push-button switch assembly is illuminatable in a predetermined manner by a light beam.

Abstract: A contact element which, on account of its low installation depth, is suitable for use in switch panels of low overall height and can be combined with various keys. The contact element has a main body, two connection terminals, which are obliquely mounted in the main body, for electrical conductors, two busbars which are in each case electrically connected to one of the connection terminals and run from the respective connection terminal to a bearing arranged centrally in the main body. A tappet which is spring-mounted in the central bearing can be moved between a first and a second position and is fitted with a contact bridge which electrically short-circuits the two busbars in one of the two positions, wherein a portion of the tappet, which portion projects out of the main body, is designed to be coupled to a key.

Abstract: A security switch has a switch head with an actuator and having a button top. The security switch is mounted in a housing wall. The actuator is designed so as to actuate contact elements of a switch module upon actuation into the switch position. The switch module is extended by a signaling switch block with contact elements located in the signaling flow path, wherein, in the assembly state of the security switch, the signaling switch block is subjected to an actuation pin that is rigidly arranged thereon. if the assembly state is undone or changed, the actuation pin disengages from the signaling switch block and signaling flow path opens. The actuation pin and signaling switch block are located outside the actuation region of the actuator of the security switch.

Abstract: A container for holding foods comprises a base member (1); a cover member (3) which is connected to the base member (1) by releasable locking engagement; a first recessed carrying handle (20) provided on a lower side of the base member (1); and a second recessed carrying handle (11) provided on an upper side of the cover member (3). To achieve a substantially flat support surface for both the base member (1) and the cover member (3), the first and second carrying handles (20, 11) are integrated with and recessed into the contour of the base member (1) and of the cover member (3), respectively, such that each of the base member (1) and the cover member (3) have substantially flat surface portions so that the container will rest stably on a flat support surface such as a table in both the upright and inverted positions of the container.
