)-*' Einteiliger Abdeckrahmen für Elektroinstallationsgeräte mit teilweiser Metallisierung ) -*' One-piece cover frame for electrical installation devices with partial metallization

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Es ist bekannt, daß Abdeckrahmen für Schalter und Steckdosen aus Kunststoffen mit metallischen Gestaltungselementen durch alle üblichen Fügetechniken wie z.B. schrauben, renken, nieten und Kleben miteinander verbunden werden.It is known that cover frames for switches and sockets made of plastic with metallic design elements are connected to each other by all common joining techniques such as screwing, twisting, riveting and gluing.

Bei der dekorativen Oberflächengestaltung geht man aus Kostengründen verstärkt dazu über, Kunststoffteile mit einem galvanischen Überzug zu versehen. Dabei sind einige wenige Kunststoffe gut und andere gar nicht dafür geeignet.For cost reasons, decorative surface design is increasingly being done by applying a galvanic coating to plastic parts. A few plastics are well suited for this, while others are not at all suitable.

Problemproblem

Das Problem besteht darin, ein galvanisch veredeltes Kunststoffiteil mit einem unveredelten zweiten Kunststoffteil so zu verbinden, daß eine mechanisch stabile Einheit entsteht, die einerseits eine dekorative Metalloberfläche und andererseits einen elektrisch isolierenden Grundkörper aufweist.The problem is to connect a galvanically refined plastic part with an unrefined second plastic part in such a way that a mechanically stable unit is created which has a decorative metal surface on the one hand and an electrically insulating base body on the other.

Erfindunginvention

Dieses Problem wird mit den Maßnahmen des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Wirkungen der Erfindung This problem is solved by the measures of claim 1. Advantageous effects of the invention

Mit der Erfindung wird im angegebenen Anwendungsfall erreicht, daß der Montageaufwand erheblich reduziert und die Handhabungssicherheit erhöht wird. Durch die konstruktive Gestaltung ist es möglich, den Gegenstand in einem Arbeitsgang vollständig mechanisch herzustellen und unmittelbar der galvanischen Oberflächenbehandlung zuzuführen. Dadurch reduziert sich der Herstellungsaufwand auf nur noch zwei technologische Schritte, weil der aufwendige Fügeprozess zwischen Dekorelement und Isolierkörper entfällt.In the specified application, the invention achieves that the assembly effort is significantly reduced and handling safety is increased. The structural design makes it possible to manufacture the object completely mechanically in one operation and to subject it to galvanic surface treatment immediately. This reduces the manufacturing effort to just two technological steps because the complex joining process between the decorative element and the insulating body is no longer necessary.

Weiterbildung der ErfindungFurther development of the invention

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 4 angegeben. Darstellung der Erfindung Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in claims 2 to 4. Description of the invention

Das Wesen der Erfindung liegt in der formschlüssigen Verbindung eines Dekorelementes 1 aus galvanisierbarem Formstoff mit einem Isolierkörper 2 aus nicht galvanisierbarem Formstoff zu einer einteiligen Funktionsgruppe durch einen thermoplastischen Zweikomponentenspritzvorgang. Zur Erzielung einer homogenen galvanischen Oberfläche ist es erforderlich, die Stromversorgung auf der Rückseite des Abdeckrahmen zu realisieren. Dazu werden an geeigneten Stellen rohrförmige Steckbuchsen 3 aus dem galvanisierbaren Formstoff vorgesehen, die sowohl der Stromzufuhr als auch der mechanischen Fixierung dienen und eine zeitsparende effektive Handhabung ermöglichen. Um mögliche Inhomogenitäten der galvanischen Metallisierung entlang der Grenzlinie unsichtbar zu machen, kann man eine Sichtfuge 4 vorsehen. An der Einbauöffnung 5 besteht die Möglichkeit, bei Bedarf eine elektrisch leitende Verbindung zu Elektroinstallationsgeräten herzustellen.The essence of the invention lies in the positive connection of a decorative element 1 made of galvanizable molding material with an insulating body 2 made of non-galvanizable molding material to form a one-piece functional group by means of a thermoplastic two-component injection molding process. In order to achieve a homogeneous galvanized surface, it is necessary to implement the power supply on the back of the cover frame. For this purpose, tubular sockets 3 made of the galvanizable molding material are provided at suitable locations, which serve both the power supply and the mechanical fixation and enable time-saving, effective handling. In order to make possible inhomogeneities in the galvanic metallization along the boundary line invisible, a visible joint 4 can be provided. At the installation opening 5, it is possible to establish an electrically conductive connection to electrical installation devices if required.
