Abstract

The invention relates to a switch (5, 105) for signaling a position of a sheet (27) of paper, film or similar flat material in a transport path (3, 103), of a handling system (1), in particular of a feed system, for sheets (27) of paper, film or similar flat material, having an actuating mechanism (9) and a sensor (11, 111). In this case, according to the invention, a first actuating mechanism (9) has a lever (31) a toothed transmission (33) and an actuating element (21, 21'), which interacts with the optosensor (11), with the lever (31) having a stop (41) at one end for the sheet (27) and having a toothed profile (43) at the other end, which acts on the toothed transmission (33), in which case the actuating element (21, 21') can be moved by the toothed transmission (33). Additionally or alternatively, a second actuating mechanism (109) has a wheel pair and an actuating wheel (128) which interacts with the sensor (111), with the wheel pair having a contact wheel (106) and a probe wheel (108) which roll on one another and between which the sheet (27) can be held, and which furthermore can be caused to rotate, and the rotation can be transmitted to the actuating wheel (128), which interacts with the probe wheel (108).
