Definitions

  • Such a two-part or divisible keychain tag has the advantage that two keys or two groups of keys can be attached to it and used separately. So you can attach the car keys to one key ring and the house or garage keys to the other. If you then want to drive a vehicle into the garage, the ignition key does not need to be pulled out of the ignition lock, rather the two keychain tag parts are separated from one another so that the garage lock can be opened while the engine continues to run.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf Schlüsselbundanhänger, bestehend aus zwei miteinander verbindbaren Teilen mit je einer Vorrichtung zur Befestigung eines Schlüsselringes.The invention relates to keychain tags, consisting of two interconnectable parts, each with a device for fastening a key ring.

Es ist ein Schlüsselanhänger bekannt (EP-A-0 280 011), der aus zwei miteinander verbindbaren Teilen besteht, an denen jeweils Schlüsselringe befestigt werden können.A key fob is known (EP-A-0 280 011) which consists of two parts which can be connected to one another and to which key rings can each be attached.

Ein derartiger zweiteiliger bzw. teilbarer Schlüsselbundanhänger hat den Vorteil, daß zwei Schlüssel oder zwei Gruppen von Schlüsseln an ihm befestigt und getrennt voneinander verwendet werden können. So kann man an dem einen Schlüsselring die Kraftfahrzeugschlüssel und an dem anderen die Haus- oder Garagenschlüssel befestigen. Will man dann mit einem Fahrzeug in die Garage fahren, so braucht der Zündschlüssel nicht aus dem Zündschloß herausgezogen zu werden, vielmehr werden die beiden Schlüsselbundanhängerteile voneinander getrennt, so daß das Garagenschloß geöffnet werden kann, wahrend der Motor weiterläuft.Such a two-part or divisible keychain tag has the advantage that two keys or two groups of keys can be attached to it and used separately. So you can attach the car keys to one key ring and the house or garage keys to the other. If you then want to drive a vehicle into the garage, the ignition key does not need to be pulled out of the ignition lock, rather the two keychain tag parts are separated from one another so that the garage lock can be opened while the engine continues to run.

Die Erfindung bezweckt, einem bekannten Schlüsselbundanhänger einen neuen Zweck zuzuordnen, insbesondere soll dieser Schlüsselbundanhänger zur Aufnahme von Münzen (Parkgroschen) dienen, was im unmittelbaren Zusammenhang mit dem Gebrauch eines Schlüsselbundanhängers in zweiteiliger Ausführung steht.The invention aims to assign a new purpose to a known keychain tag, in particular, this keychain tag is intended to hold coins (park egg), which is directly related to the use of a keychain tag in two parts.

Erreicht wird dieses Ziel durch einen Schlüsselbundanhänger, bestehend aus zwei miteinander verbindbaren Teilen mit je einer Vorrichtung zur Befestigung eines Schlüsselringes, wobei die beiden Teile jeweils aus einer äußeren Hülse und einem kleineren in der Hülse unterbringbaren, von dieser lösbaren Innenteil gebildet sind, die beiden Innenteile 30 schwenkbar und lösbar miteinander verbunden sind, der dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß die Innenteile jeweils zwecks Aufnahme von Münzen schalenförmig oder mit Ausnehmungen ausgebildet sind.This goal is achieved by a keychain tag, consisting of two parts that can be connected to one another, each with a device for fastening a key ring, the two parts each being formed from an outer sleeve and a smaller inner part that can be accommodated in the sleeve and that can be detached from it, the two inner parts 30 are pivotally and releasably connected to each other, which is characterized in that the inner parts are each bowl-shaped or with recesses for receiving coins.

Bei der vorliegenden Erfindung werden die Innenteile hohlförmig oder schalenförmig ausgebildet, so daß die Möglichkeit eröffnet wird, in diese Schale oder den Hohlraum Münzen hineinzutun.

Fig. 1
zeigt eine Draufsicht auf den Schlüsselbundanhänger gemäß der Erfindung.
Fig. 2
zeigt eine Rückansicht auf den einen Innenteil des Schlüsselbundanhängers nach Fig. 1.
In the present invention, the inner parts are hollow or bowl-shaped, so that the possibility is opened to insert coins into this bowl or the cavity.
Fig. 1
shows a top view of the keychain tag according to the invention.
Fig. 2
shows a rear view of an inner part of the keychain pendant of FIG. 1st

Bei den Figuren handelt es sich um Draufsichten, es sei erwähnt, daß die einzelnen Teile senkrecht zur Papierebene eine Erstreckung von im wesentlichen 5 bis 10 mm aufweisen. Der in Fig. 1 links gezeigte hülsenförmige Schlüsselbundanhängerteil 10 hat eine obere und eine untere Begrenzungsfläche, die im wesentlichen dreieckförmig ist.The figures are top views, it should be mentioned that the individual parts have an extension of essentially 5 to 10 mm perpendicular to the paper plane. The sleeve-shaped keychain tag part 10 shown on the left in FIG. 1 has an upper and a lower boundary surface which is essentially triangular.

Die Hülse 10 weist einen Durchgang 11 auf, in welchen ein Schlüsselring (nicht gezeigt) eingesetzt werden kann. Es handelt sich hierbei um zwei Öffnungen, die miteinander fluchten, und zwar eine an der Oberseite der Hülse 10 und eine auf der nicht gezeigten Unterfläche. Statt des Durchgangs 11 könnte auch ein Öhr an der Hülse 10 ausgebildet sein. Die Oberseite der Hülse 10 ist weiterhin mit einer kreisförmigen Öffnung 12 ausgebildet.The sleeve 10 has a passage 11 in which a key ring (not shown) can be inserted. These are two openings which are in alignment with one another, specifically one on the upper side of the sleeve 10 and one on the lower surface, not shown. Instead of the passage 11, an eye could also be formed on the sleeve 10. The top of the sleeve 10 is also formed with a circular opening 12.

Rechts von der Hülse 10 ist in der Fig. 1 der zweite Schlüsselbundanhängerteil 20 gezeigt. Dieser hat den gleichen Aufbau wie der Teil 10. Er ist mit Durchgangsöffnungen 21 in der bereits beschriebenen Art und Weise versehen, so daß auch dort ein Schlüsselring (nicht gezeigt) untergebracht werden kann.The second keychain tag part 20 is shown in FIG. 1 to the right of the sleeve 10. This has the same structure as part 10. It is provided with through openings 21 in the manner already described, so that a key ring (not shown) can also be accommodated there.

An einem schalenförmigen Innenteil 30 ist ein vorspringender Teil 33 mit kleinerer Abmessung und mit einer Durchbruchsöffnung 34 ausgebildet. Der Teil 30 ist so dimensioniert, daß er vollständig innerhalb der Hülse 10 untergebracht werden kann. Der Teil 30 ist mit einem federnden Vorsprung 33 oder Zunge ausgebildet, der bzw. die aus der Zeichenebene so weit nach oben steht und in entsprechender Lage angeordnet ist, daß der Vorsprung 33 mit der Öffnung 12 der Hülse 10 eine Schnappverbindung bildet. Weiterhin ist der Teil 30 außen mit einer Ausnehmung 32 ausgestattet, die an die Öffnungen 11 der Hülse 10 angepaßt ist, so daß der Schlüsselring oder ein Ösenteil für den Schlüsselring ungehindert durch die Öffnungen 11 hindurchgeführt werden kann. Der Teil 30 ist über ein Drehgelenk 35 mit dem Teil 20 bzw. einem zum Innenteil 30 entsprechend ausgebildeten Innenteil verbunden. Es kann sich hierbei um eine Buchsen-Stiftverbindung handeln. Dies bedeutet, daß zwei Bohrungen in dem Teil 20 und in dem Teil 30 zueinander fluchtend ausgerichtet und mittels eines nicht gezeigten Preßstiftes miteinander verbunden sind.On a shell-shaped inner part 30, a projecting part 33 with a smaller dimension and with an opening 34 is formed. The part 30 is dimensioned such that it can be accommodated completely within the sleeve 10. The part 30 is formed with a resilient projection 33 or tongue which stands upwards from the plane of the drawing and is arranged in a corresponding position such that the projection 33 forms a snap connection with the opening 12 of the sleeve 10. Furthermore, the part 30 is provided on the outside with a recess 32 which is adapted to the openings 11 of the sleeve 10, so that the key ring or an eyelet part for the key ring can be passed through the openings 11 unhindered. The part 30 is connected via a swivel joint 35 to the part 20 or to an inner part designed correspondingly to the inner part 30. This can be a socket-pin connection. This means that two holes in the part 20 and in the part 30 aligned with each other and connected to each other by means of a press pin, not shown.

Die beiden Innenteile sind schalenförmig ausgebildet, wobei Fig. 1 den einen Innenteil, nämlich den rechten zeigt. Außer den bereits erwähnten Teilen geht von der Bodenfläche (die dem Betrachter nach Fig. 2 zugewandt, dem Betrachter nach Fig. 1 abgewandt ist) ein Hohlraum 50 angeordnet, der eine hinlängliche Größe hat, so daß in ihm Münzen (sogenannte Parkgroschen) aufbewahrt werden können. Bei einer Tiefenerstreckung des Schlüsselbundanhängers gemäß der Erfindung von ca. 8 - 10 mm können bequem drei Münzen in den Hohlraum 50 eingebracht werden. Diese Münzen werden dann zugänglich, wenn die dem Innenteil umgebene Hülse entfernt wird, indem die bereits geschilderte Schnappverbindung betätigt wird.The two inner parts are bowl-shaped, with FIG. 1 showing the one inner part, namely the right one. In addition to the parts already mentioned, a cavity 50 is arranged from the base surface (which faces the viewer according to FIG. 2, facing away from the viewer according to FIG. 1), which has a sufficient size so that coins (so-called park pennies) are stored in it can. With a depth extension of the keychain pendant according to the invention of approximately 8-10 mm, three coins can be conveniently introduced into the cavity 50. These coins are accessible when the sleeve surrounding the inner part is removed by actuating the snap connection already described.
