The present disclosure relates to a device for an actuation handle, having an actuation bolt, which has at least one section along its longitudinal axis (A) having at least one outer edge on its circumference. The device comprises a housing having a first receiving section for receiving an energy converter for supplying electrical energy to a radio transmitter by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy, and an aperture for the actuation bolt, wherein the aperture has a second receiving section for rotatably accommodating the section of the actuation bolt having at least one outer edge. The device is characterized in that the first receiving section is disposed such that it is adjacent to the aperture, wherein a switch element of the energy converter extends into a rotational path of the at least one outer edge when the energy converter is in a receiving state, and can be actuated such that it causes a switching by means of the at least one outer edge during a rotation of the actuation bolt.
A device for an actuation handle having an actuation bolt which has at least one section along its longitudinal axis having at least one outer edge on its circumference, the device comprises a housing having a first receiving section for receiving an energy converter for supplying electrical energy to a radio transmitter by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy, and an aperture for the actuation bolt, wherein the aperture has a second receiving section for rotatably accommodating the section of the actuation bolt having at least one outer edge, wherein the first receiving section is adjacent to the aperture, wherein a switch element of the energy converter extends into a rotational path of the at least one outer edge when the energy converter is in a receiving state, and wherein the switch element is configured to be actuated such that it causes a switching by the at least one outer edge during a rotation of the actuation bolt.
A method for the wireless transmission of a signal generated in an energy self-sufficient manner by an actuation handle, wherein the actuation handle comprises a rotatable actuation bolt having at least one outer edge extending into the rotational path of a switch element for an energy converter for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy, such that a rotation of the actuation bolt causes a switching actuation of the energy converter by the actuating the switch element by the at least one outer edge, wherein the generated electrical energy supplies a radio transmitter coupled to the energy converter for the wireless transmission of a radio signal, wherein the method comprises:
