Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a key head according to the preamble of claim 1. It also relates to a key having such a head.
  • a key head formed of a housing capable of forming per se an ornamental object and for receiving a key (see patent in the United States of America No. 3,349,589).
  • the housing of this known key head has a downward opening which allows passage not only of the bit but also of the head of a key.
  • the latter is held inside the housing cavity by an elastic element with two clamping arms, capable of snapping into a recess in the head.
  • the head of the key can therefore be pushed into the housing or removed from it through the passage opening, which allows for example to lend the key, without simultaneously lending the ornamental housing.
  • this box is not adaptable to any common key, it has the disadvantage that the key is not rigidly fixed inside the box which must pose problems of transmission of forces. pulling, pushing and twisting the fingers on the key bit.
  • the metallic head is provided with a reinforcing device in the form of rigid housing (see French patent application No. 2448607).
  • This box is however only intended for whole keys and therefore does not allow use on several successive keys of different shapes.
  • the means for blocking and fixing the key in the housing are partially visible from the outside, which would be a major drawback for the use of this reinforcement device as a jewel.
  • they are not adjustable depending on the thickness of the key used.
  • a somewhat similar device is disclosed in the United States of America No. 2,759,279.
  • boxes are known which are intended to surround key heads so as to enclose in the box not only the key head, but also coins (see patent in the United States of America 4,102,166).
  • Keys are also known whose metal head is coated with a plastic or other coating, which makes it possible to differentiate one key from the other. Often, provision is made prior to coating for cutting the key head. Only the cut section is coated with plastics material or introduced into a plastic casing (see French patent application No. 2,411,650 and patent application Federal Republic of Germany No. 2739062).
  • deformable plastic envelopes in which the key heads can be fitted and by which they are partially covered.
  • These envelopes serve only as a means of distinguishing one key from another, and normally such an envelope is not intended to be removed from the key on which it is located again, although this is possible.
  • we remove such an envelope when it is worn or torn and we want to replace it with another, new or another color. If the removed envelope is not damaged, it can possibly be used as long as the key to be wrapped has the same head shape as the previous one.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a key head which is intended to form a jewel or precious and ornamental object in itself, the means for fixing, positioning and assembly of which are not visible from the outside or are visible. to a very small extent.
  • This key head must be able to be used for any different keys, successively, at the discretion of the user. It is the key head which is intended to be kept by the user and, for example, when he changes car, the key of his next car must be able to be used using the key head according to the invention, in a way which allows perfect transmission of tensile, pushing and twisting forces applied to the key head according to the invention to the key bit.
  • the key head must therefore not allow any relative movement between it and the bit during the operation of the key, whatever whatever the dimensions of the key used, and in particular its thickness. Finally, the replacement of one key by another in the box of the key head according to the invention must be easy to carry out by the user himself. Only the cutting of the current key head must still be carried out by a special device that is found at any key dealer.
  • FIG. 1 represents an exploded perspective view of an embodiment of a key provided with a key head according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 represents a perspective view, in the assembled state, of the key according to FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 represents a front view, from the inside, of the part of the housing to be assembled carrying the means for positioning and fixing the cut section and the bit of the common key used.
  • FIG. 4 shows a sectional view, along the line IV-IV of Figure 2, on an enlarged scale.
  • Figure 5 shows a partial cross-sectional view of an alternative embodiment according to the invention.
  • a key head intended to successively receive keys of different shapes is used as jewelry or as an ornamental object.
  • This key head comprises a rigid housing 1 having two opposite walls 2, 3 forming gripping surfaces on the external side. These gripping surfaces are used not only to receive the tensile, pushing or twisting forces printed by the fingers, to transmit them to the key, but also possibly decorative surfaces.
  • the housing 1 further comprises a peripheral wall 4 disposed between the two grip walls 2 and 3. The latter and the peripheral wall 4 form the enclosure of an internal cavity 5 of the housing 1.
  • a cut-out section 6 of the head of any common key, including keys for automobile, can be removably housed, as shown in Figure 1.
  • the peripheral wall 4 of the housing 1 has an opening 7 which is located near the cavity 5 and is intended to allow the passage of the bit 8 of the current key used outside the housing 1.
  • the housing 1 is formed of two parts to be assembled.
  • one of them 9 comprises the grip wall 3 and the parts 10, 11 of the peripheral wall 4, located on either side of the passage opening 7 for the bit 8.
  • This part to be assembled 9 door on the side facing the inside of the housing, means for positioning the cut section 6 of the head of the common key used.
  • these positioning means consist of a recess 12 provided on the internal face of the grip wall 3.
  • This recess has an approximately rectangular shape, with slightly rounded corners. It is limited in the longitudinal direction of the bit on one side by the parts 10 and 11 of the peripheral wall 4, located on either side of the passage opening 7 for the bit, and on the opposite side by thickening internal 14 of the intake wall 3 which partially fills the cavity 5.
  • the recess 12 is limited by two ribs 15, 16, projecting inwards relative to the internal face of the intake wall 3.
  • the recess 12 thus has a predetermined shape whose peripheral outline is expected to be smaller than any common key head. It can therefore always be cut according to the contour of the recess.
  • the parts 10 and 11 of the peripheral wall 4, on the one hand, and the thickening 14, on the other hand serve as stops which, while being in abutment against the peripheral contour of the cut section 6 of the key, prevent any movement of the bit 8 and the cut section 6 relative to the part 9 of the housing 1, in the longitudinal direction of the bit.
  • the ribs 15, 16 also serve as stops which, by pressing against the peripheral contour of the cut section 6 of the key, prevent any displacement of the bit 8 and the cut section 6 relative to, the part 9 of the housing 1 , laterally to the longitudinal direction of the bit. Therefore, once the cut section, positioned in the part to be assembled 9 of the housing 1, the bit 8 and the cut section 6 can no longer make relative movement relative to this part of the housing 9, in their plane.
  • the parts 10 and 11 of the peripheral wall 4 and the thickening 14 project widely inwards beyond the upper edge of the recess formed by the top of the ribs lateral 15 and 16.
  • the arrangement of the positioning means may be different from that described and illustrated.
  • the part 9 of the housing which carries the positioning means described above, also carries, also on the side facing inwards. of the housing 1, detachable fixing means, which are capable of fixing the cut section, positioned, so as to prevent any rotational movement of the cut section 6 relative to this housing part 9.
  • these means fastening means comprise a spring leaf 17 which partially or completely covers the cut out section 6 positioned, as well as clamping screws 18, 19 which are passed through two perforations provided at the ends of the spring leaf 17 and which are tightened in threaded holes 20, 21 provided at the top of the lateral ribs 15, 16 described above.
  • the spring blade 17 tightly clamped fixes the cut section 6 in its positioning means, whatever the thickness of the cut section 6.
  • the key head according to the invention further comprises additional fixing means.
  • additional fixing means include two cylindrical head screws 22, 23. These are to be screwed into tapped holes 24, 25 formed at the bottom of recesses 26, 27 provided in the thickening 14.
  • These recesses 26, 27, located in position adjacent to the recess 12 are open laterally on the latter, so that, when the screws 22, 23 are tightened, part of their head protrudes into the recess 12.
  • the bottom of these recesses 26, 27 is provided at the height of the edge of the recess 12 or at a lower level.
  • the leaf spring is cut at 28, 29, so as to free the passage of the head of the screws 22, 23, during their tightening. Whatever the thickness of the cut section 6 of the common key used, when tightening the screws, 22, 23, these will fix the cut section in its positioning means.
  • the thickening 14 of the part 9 of the housing 1 and the parts 10 and 11 of the peripheral wall 4 are cut along the lateral edges 30, 31 so as to form a tenon in tail dovetails.
  • the other part to be assembled 32 of the housing 1 comprises the grip wall 2 and the upper lateral sections of the peripheral wall 4.
  • the latter are shaped so as to form with the grip wall 2 a notch 33 whose shape corresponds to that of the aforementioned dovetail tenon.
  • the line is interrupted by an orifice formed by two semicircular recesses 34, 35 made in each of the parts to be assembled 9 and 32.
  • a screw 36 is passed through this orifice and tightened in a tapped hole not shown, provided laterally in thickening 14.
  • the means for stopping the sliding of the housing part 32 on the part 9, that is to say the screw 36, is arranged on the peripheral wall of the housing, therefore in a very discreet location. and little annoying for the external aspect of a jewel.
  • This screw 36 could be replaced, for example, by a self-locking push button.
  • a chain 37 To connect the key according to the invention to a keychain, one can provide a chain 37.
  • a housing 38 is hollowed out in the thickening 14. This housing is open towards the outside by a thinned opening 39 into which the last link of the chain can be slid.
  • a chain end ball, known per se, 40 is received in the housing and has a diameter greater than the opening 39, so as to retain the chain on the key head according to the invention in the assembled state of the latter.
  • the rigid case 1, provided in the form of a jewel can for example be made of precious metal or alloy, or of a decorative rigid material, possibly filled with precious elements, such as precious or semi-precious stones.
  • the gripping surfaces 2, 3 of the walls can be engraved or decorated in any way.
  • the key head according to the invention can thus form a quality object that the user may possibly wish to keep throughout his life.
  • the key head according to the invention offers this advantage since it is possible to adapt it in a detachable and easily replaceable manner to
  • the key head according to the invention is adaptable to any common key, whatever the dimensions of the head thereof, and in particular whatever the thickness thereof. this.
  • the transmission of forces from the fingers to the bit poses no problem following a change of key, and the assembly and disassembly of the key head are easy even for the owner of the jewel.
  • the upper lateral sections (of which only section 41 is shown) of the peripheral wall 4 are provided on their sliding face parallel to the grip surface 2 with an open housing 42
  • a positioning ball 43 which is pushed outwards by a spring 44, in the direction of the opening of the housing 42, so that it projects partially out of the housing, before assembly.
  • the opening of the housing 42 is in fact slightly smaller than the diameter of the ball 43 and it prevents a complete expulsion thereof under the action of the spring 44.
  • the ball is fully inserted inside the housing 42, against the force of the spring 44.
