Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is the production of a key holder comprising a device making it possible to adjust the size of its ring, which is variable as a function of the number of keys which it is desired to hang thereon, and preventing accidental opening of the ring, after locking.
  • the previous inventions consist essentially of spiral rings or half-rings bearing on a support, opening and closing thanks to the simple elasticity of the metal used for their production.
  • US-A-1,571,425 describes a plastic keychain, the ring of which in the form of a flexible cable, fixed to one of its ends of the housing, sees its length varying according to the position in which is engaged its other end, on the edge of said housing.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide the user with a key holder allowing easy accommodation of an increasing or decreasing number of keys, thanks to a ring whose size is variable and can be adjusted according to different positions and whose Locking and opening are ensured by a mechanism incorporated in the body of the key holder and which makes it possible to give the desired dimension to the ring, as well as to prevent accidental opening. It relates to a key ring according to the claim.
  • the illustrated embodiment is formed, on the one hand, of a flat box 2 formed of two symmetrical parts secured and constituting the body of the key holder, and, on the other hand, of a rod 1, made of metal or hard plastic, U-shaped whose branches 1 a, 1 b are of unequal lengths while its intermediate part 1 ca the shape of a semicircle.
  • a mechanism visible in FIG. 2, the function of which will be explained later.
  • the longest branch 1 b ends in a lug 4 forming bolt as we will see later.
  • a chamber 13 in which is placed an oscillating part 3 having the general shape of a right triangle and having at its apex opposite the right angle a curved part 11 forming a leaf spring.
  • the part 3 On its side opposite this vertex, the part 3 has an actuation button 10 passing through a slot 1 Oa of the body 2 and projecting slightly outside this body, in a depression 1 Ob thereof.
  • the piece 3 has on one of its sides a row of notches or notches 14 forming strikes and in each of which can selectively engage the bolt as we will see.
  • the branches 1a, 1b are inserted into the housing 2, so that the part of the part 1 remaining outside the housing forms a ring of a size appropriate to the number of keys that this part carries and to the degree of ease of handling. desired keys attached to this ring.
  • the part 11 forming a spring returns the notches or strikes 14 to the active position and the lug or bolt 4 engages in the nearest striker 14. From this moment, the part 1 is locked on the housing 2.
  • the notch or bolt 4 prevents the long branch 1b from coming out completely dlib d i-tier 2, during the maneuver which has just been described. It also prevents the part 1 from turning around the axis of the branch 1 b when the short branch 1 a is completely disengaged from the housing 2. It can be seen that in the key holder described, the mechanism visible in FIG. 2 makes it possible to adapt the size of the useful part of the part 1 to the number of keys engaged on this part and that it ensures the locking of this part in the chosen position.
  • the long branch 1b could have, in its part projecting from the free end of the short branch 1a, not a single lug 4, but several lugs or bolts spaced apart in the same way as the notches or strikes 14 These pins could be replaced by threads of a thread that pre would feel this part of branch 1 b.
  • the arrangement of bolts on 1b and strikes on 3 could obviously be reversed, bolts on 3 and strikes on 1b.
  • unlocking and locking after choosing the best ring size according to the number of keys attached, could be ensured by a wheel, eccentric or not, blocking the rod in the chosen position.
  • the end of the longer of the two branches is notched, one could also ensure the unlocking and locking of the ring thanks to a ratchet system.
  • the manufacturing is provided in metal or in hard plastic, the ring and the case being able to be the subject of different surface treatments or, possibly, to be decorated.
  • the object of the present invention is to offer the user a pocket or wall-mounted instrument, depending on the version, allowing him to store it conveniently, eliminating the risk of scattering it as a result of an accidental ring opening, all keys it would have to collect, without hampering the ease of maneuverability of each of them thanks to the possibility of adjusting the size of the ring.
