The apparatus also includes a second housing for a power supply and an operating switch and the two housings are releasably mechanically and electrically connected by a bayonet joint. The magnet system includes a pot type magnetic arrangement with an axially polarized very thin annular permanent magnet held between two pole rings made of a soft magnetic material and having rotational symmetry. The upper pole ring is pot shaped with a downwardly open annular gap concentric with the central opening of the magnet arrangement and the oscillator coil projects into the annular gap. The plunger is connected to the oscillator coil and extends freely through the central opening of the magnet arrangement.
