Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] Further advantages, features and details of the invention result from the following description of preferred embodiment and from the drawing; these show in

[0022] FIG. 1 a sectional side view of a switching profile in rest position;

[0023] FIG. 2 an enlargement of a part of FIG. 1;

[0024] FIG. 3 a side view of the switching profile in working position.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] FIG. 1 shows a cut side view of a switching profile 1. The switching profile 1 primarily comprises three elements. A switching head 4 is shown centrally. From the switching head 4, a first side wing 2 on the one side and a second side wing 3 on the other side are strutted apart.

[0026] Further a section 5 is shown, which is enlarged in FIG. 2.

[0027] A first folding channel 6 is shown at the point where the first side wing 2 is molded onto the switching head 4. The first folding channel 6 tapers to a first binding point 26. In the same way, a second folding channel 7 is formed at a second binding point 27. The second folding channel 7 also tapers to the second binding point 27. The first folding channel 6 and the second folding channel 7 are opened away from the switching head 4.

[0028] At the one end, the first side wing 2 has the first folding channel 6. At the other end, the first side wing 2 has a first connecting piece 8. The first connecting piece 8 is an expansion element in the form of a hollow rubber profile. Between the first connecting piece 8 and the first folding channel 6, a first support tab 10 is also formed. The first connecting piece 8 and the first support tab 10 protrude from the same side of the first side wing 2.

[0029] A second folding channel 7 is shown at the point where the second side wing 2 is molded onto the switching head 4. The second folding channel 7 tapers to a second binding point 27.

[0030] At the one end, the second side wing 3 has the second folding channel 7. At the other end, the first side wing 2 has a second connecting piece 9. The second connecting piece 9 is also an expansion element in the form of a hollow rubber profile. Between the second connecting piece 9 and the second folding channel 7, a second support tab 11 is also formed. The second connecting piece 9 and the second support tab 11 protrude from the same side of the second side wing 3.

[0031] Also shown is a center line 16, which runs across the section view and through the center of the switching head 4.

[0032] A convex profile 12 and a concave profile 13 are arranged in the switching head 4. The switching head 4 consists primarily of a base 28, a first side flank 21, and a second side flank 22. In the rest position, the base 28 lies essentially in the same level and between the first side wing 2 and the second side wing 3. The base 28 is formed between the first folding channel 6 and the second folding channel 7 and merges into the first side flank 21 and the second side flank 22. The two side flanks 21, 22 meet at a crest 19.

[0033] The switching head 4 has a triangular design and encloses an interior 29, whereby the crest 19 represents a rounded surface which merges into the first side flank 21 and the second side flank 22.

[0034] In the interior 29, the convex profile 12 is placed on the base 28. The concave profile 13 is located at the crest 19 opposite the base 28. The concave profile 13 is convex and protrudes from the crest 19. The concave profile 12 forms a concave round base 20 viewed from the crest 19, in which the concave profile 13 partially protrudes in the working position. When the switching head 4 is compressed, the concave profile 13 moves into the round base 20 of the convex profile 12 and triggers a signal. This signal is then processed to stop an operation or to start another operation.

[0035] Furthermore, on the first side flank 21 in the interior 29 there is a first convex strip 14, which is integrally formed to the convex profile 20. Furthermore, a second convex strip 15 is provided on the second side flank 22 in the interior 29, which is integrally formed to the convex profile 20. The first convex strip 14 and the second convex strip 15 have an arc shape in sectional view, which protrudes from the side flanks 21, 22.

[0036] To move the switching profile 1 from the rest position to the working position as shown in FIG. 3, the two side flanks 21, 22 are moved towards the center line 16. The direction is indicated by the first direction arrow 17 and the second direction arrow 18.

[0037] FIG. 2 shows an enlarged section of FIG. 1. The features shown there have already been shown and described in FIG. 1. The descriptions in FIG. 1 should also apply to FIG. 2.

[0038] In the working position, as shown in FIG. 3, the concave profile 13 partially protrudes into the convex profile 12 so that there is only a distance of 1 to 5 mm between the convex profile 12 and the concave profile 13.

[0039] The switching profile 1 is fixed in a receptacle profile 23. For this purpose, the receptacle profile 23 has a first side receptacle 24 and a second side receptacle 25. The first connecting piece 8 is inserted into the first side receptacle 24. The support tab 10 rests on the first side receptacle 24.

[0040] In the same way, the second connecting piece 9 is inserted into the second side receptacle 25, whereby the second support tab 11 rests on the second side receptacle 25.

[0041] A strand is present in the convex profile 12 and/or the concave profile 13.

[0042] Although only one preferred embodiment of the invention was described and presented, it is obvious that the skilled person can add numerous modifications without leaving the essence and scope of the invention.
