Holding adapter for fixing control and signaling devices and also arrangement
A holding adapter for fixing control and signaling devices, including pushbuttons, on a front plate, includes: a housing having a first recess; and a mounting plate mounted in the housing and having a second recess. The second recess is arranged flush with the first recess so that a control or signaling device is guidable in an axial direction through the two recesses. The mounting plate is displaceable in the axial direction relative to the housing between a first end position and a second end position so as to provide a vertical compensation when the control or signaling device is fixed to the front plate, depending upon a thickness of the front plate.
1. A holding adapter for fixing control and signaling devices, including pushbuttons, on a front plate, the holding adapter comprising:
a housing having a first recess; and
a mounting plate mounted in the housing and having a second recess,
wherein the second recess is arranged flush with the first recess so that a control or signaling device is guidable in an axial direction through the two recesses, and
wherein the mounting plate is displaceable in the axial direction relative to the housing between a first end position and a second end position so as to provide a vertical compensation when the control or signaling device is fixed to the front plate, depending upon a thickness of the front plate.
2. The holding adapter according to claim 1 , wherein the housing has a latching mechanism configured to interact with the mounting plate for vertical compensation.
3. The holding adapter according to claim 1 , further comprising a spring element mounted in the housing and configured to interact with the mounting plate so that the mounting plate is displaceable from the first end position counter to a spring force of the spring element in the axial direction relative to the housing.
4. The holding adapter according to claim 1 , wherein the housing has an anti-twist lug configured for a keyed interaction with the front plate, which is optionally removable.
5. The holding adapter according to claim 4 , wherein the anti-twist lug is configured to be broken off or elastically bent against a spring force.
6. The holding adapter according to claim 4 , wherein the anti-twist lug is formed as a separate part from the housing and is latched in a corresponding recess in the housing.
7. The holding adapter according to claim 1 , wherein the housing has at least one holding pin configured to at least interact in a friction lock with the front plate.
8. The holding adapter according to claim 7 , wherein a material hardness of the holding pin is greater than a material hardness of the front plate.
9. An arrangement, comprising:
a control or signaling device;
a front plate having an opening; and
the holding adapter according to claim 1 ,
wherein the control or signaling device is guidable from a front side of the front plate through the opening in the front plate and fastened by the holding adapter to a rear side of the front plate; and
wherein the control or signaling device is configured to interact with the displaceable mounting plate of the holding adapter so as to produce a vertical compensation, depending upon a thickness of the front plate.
10. The arrangement according to claim 9 , wherein the rear side of the front plate has a coating made of an elastic and/or foamed material in a region in which the front plate interacts with a holding pin of the housing at least frictionally.
