Abstract
Devices and method for actuating a switch device (SM) by means of an elastic actuating element with a non-actuating shape 4 without actuating the switch device (SM) and an actuating shape 6 for actuating the switch device (SM).
Claims7
An actuating device for a switch device, comprising:
- an elastic actuating element with a non-actuating shape without actuation of the switch device and an actuating shape for actuating the switch device, and
- at least one actuating element which is connected to the actuating element, which can be acted upon by means of pneumatic and/or hydraulic pressure in order to bring the actuating element from the non-actuating shape into the actuating shape.
A method for actuating a switch device using an actuating device comprising an elastic actuating;
- element with a non-actuating shape without actuation of the switch device and an actuating shape for actuating the switch device,
- and at least one actuating element which is connected to the actuating element, which can be acted upon by means of pneumatic and/or hydraulic pressure in order to bring the actuating element from the non-actuating shape into the actuating shape, the method comprising
- applying pneumatic and/or hydraulic pressure to at least one cavity associated with the actuating element in order to bring the actuating element from the non-actuating shape to the actuating shape.
An e-cigarette push button actuator, comprising:
- a holder and
- an actuating device comprising an elastic actuating element with a non-actuating shape without actuation of the switch device and an actuating shape for actuating the switch device, and at least one actuating element which is connected to the actuating element, which can be acted upon by means of pneumatic and/or hydraulic pressure in order to bring the actuating element from the non-actuating shape into the actuating shape.
