说明书全文 | This utility patent relates to a: “BUTTON PANEL FOR ELEVATORS, LIFTS OR SIMILAR MACHINERY”, and in particular to a button panel containing push buttons within its panel or board which have a new functional shape that enables them to fit with great accuracy; it is simple and safe to put it together, there is no need to use any fastening means such as screws, rivets, clinches, adhesives, etc. Up to the moment, several different types of buttons that are fastened to the panel by screws have been used for button panels for elevators. Now, we hereby present a button that has such shape that can be put together within the panel of the elevator or lift without any fastening means. In such way that anyone can easily remove, change or take said parts from the back of the panel. Thus, the main aim of this utility patent is to present a: “BUTTON PANEL FOR ELEVATORS, LIFTS OR SIMILAR MACHINERY”, the kind of panel button that is made up of the combination of four pieces that fit together properly, namely: the casing, the inner section, the outer section and the printed circuit. This panel button is characterized by the rectangular shape of its casing with the matching sliding flaps located on the largest opposite sides which fit together with the inner section. Said inner section has an empty rectangular shape that has slots on two of its opposite largest laterals for said casing to be mounted; and to match with its back section, it has at least four flaps connected with the micro switches of the printed circuit; said outer section telescopically contains the said inner section an also has a rectangular empty shape which is slightly bigger than the inner section, and has on its outer opposite laterals several bumps of an oval shape that fit together with the respective oval shaped drillings on the elevator panel; said printed circuit has a rectangular shape, and with correspondence with its shorter lateral sides, it has projecting edges that fit together with the back section of the said outer section. A secondary element of this Utility Patent is characterized by said casing that has over its surface alphanumeric characters. Another secondary element of this Utility Patent is the fact that said casing has on its surface Braille characters. Another secondary element of this Utility Patent is the fact that said casing has on its surface graphic designs. Another secondary element of this Utility Patent is the fact that said casing has on its surface lighting means. For a better understanding of this Utility Patent and of the shape the same has to have, several drawings will be attached as follows: And In said figures there have been established several alphanumeric references that represent the following:
Herein after you will find a detailed explanation of how this Utility Patent is constituted making reference to the numeration herein above established for each part. As you can appreciate in Said casing (1) has a rectangular shape on which surface the messages will be placed, that can be either alphanumeric, Braille or graphic signs, etc.; those messages being lightened or not. This casing (1) has several flaps (1a) which coincide with said casing's larger opposite sides, to enable said inner section (2) to slide thereon. Said inner section (2) has an empty rectangular shape that has bumps (2a) on two of its larger opposite laterals to enable the mounting of said casing (1), and it coincides with its upper section with at least four projecting contacts (2b) to make contact with the micro switches that the printed circuit (4) may have and to activate them. Said outer section (3) also has an empty rectangular shape slightly bigger than the inner section (2), in order to enable each part to telescopically fit with each other. Said outer section (3) has in its opposite outer lateral sides several oval bumps (3a) that fit together with each corresponding oval drilling (5a) that the panel button for the elevator has. Said printed circuit (4) has a rectangular shape, and it coincides with its shorter lateral sides with its projecting edges (4a) in order to fit together with the back of said outer section (3). As you can appreciate on Said panel is made up of the lateral union of at least two parts that can be put together, namely: a pole or a vertical plate with embossed letters (5) and a pole or first plate with ornamental drillings (9). Said union is formed with a central rectangular empty area (8) in which the buttons will be placed to command the elevator, lift or similar machinery in which this kind of panels will be installed. Said pole or vertical plate (5) has a frontal rectangular shape of a minor horizontal base and a U-shaped profile (see Said pole or first plate with drillings (9) has an horizontal U-shaped front and a U-shaped profile (see Whilst the Herein below you will find the description of the execution of the figures, making clear that the same have been represented by a graphic in which we can appreciate the front of the model and only the upper part of the pole or first plate with drillings (9) with the different ornamental shapes.
