Definitions
- the present invention relates, in general, to a key holder and more particularly a key holder comprising a case and a movable key rod relative to the housing, said housing being designed in such a way that the key shank can be placed in the volume defined by the housing.
- This type of keychain is often offered for car keys but can, of course, be used used for any other key.
- the possibility of moving the key rod to position it in the volume defined by the case allows, by erasing the stem of the key, to prevent the key from injuring the user looking for it in a bag or a pocket, or hole the fabric of the pocket.
- the volume defined by the case is the regular convex volume, which can be defined by juxtaposing along an axis sections arranged in planes perpendicular to said axis, said sections having a contour regular convex approaching the real section of the case.
- the volume defined by such a case will be ovoid and the rod key positioned in the recess will be considered to be in "the volume defined by the case”.
- Such key chains are of obvious interest and are very appreciated; however, they have a disadvantage that the users must act on the key shank to move it relative to the housing, when they want to implement it, which is a awkward operation when loaded because it requires usually both hands, one to hold the case and the other to grasp the key rod.
- the object of the present invention is, in particular, to overcome this disadvantage.
- US 3,079,784 describes a key ring conforming to the preamble of the claim 1.
- the key is locked by a swivel arm and a spring, which require careful assembly operations.
- the invention provides a keychain according to claim 1.
- the key is movable in rotation relative to the housing by mounting its head around a axis at least partially passing through the housing.
- the key can also be mounted movable in translation in The box.
- the key head carries the means of blockage, consisting of a protrusion of a tongue flexible cut in the upper face of the head.
- the enclosure wall may have a bore in which the protrusion is positioned for keep the key head in position when the key is in the first position for which its rod is arranged in the volume defined by the housing.
- a pusher can be placed in the bore above the projection of the tongue and protrude outward from the upper wall of the housing when the key is in the first position.
- the return means consist of elastic means attached on the one hand to the housing and on the other hand to the key. They are, for example, constituted by an attached helical spring, of a hand, on a hook of the housing and, on the other hand, on a lug of the head of the key.
- the means of blocking can be positioned in a cavity formed in the face upper case, this cavity being such that the key cannot be rotated beyond the cavity as it passes from the first to second position, but that it can be brought back to his first position.
- the key holder case is represented in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped; in the practical, this case will have a more curved shape.
- FIG. 1 shows a key holder according to the invention, comprising a housing comprising a lower face 1 and a key formed of a head 3 and a rod 30.
- the upper face of the housing is divided into two parts, part 2 which is necessary to maintain the key in the key ring and a complementary shape any that has been removed from the drawing.
- the housing can be completed by a cavity (not shown) in which can be arranged electronic means such as a transmitter for electronic control of the locking means with which the key is intended to cooperate.
- the key is rotatable relative to the housing by mounting the head 3 around an axis 4 passing through the housing and kept integral with it by riveting 5, 5 '.
- the axis 4 passes through the head 3 through a bore 6.
- the key head 3 carries blocking means constituted by a tongue 11 cut in the upper face of the head. said tongue 11 is disposed above a cavity 110 formed in the key 3 head.
- the tongue 11 carries a protuberance 12 adapted to be positioned in a bore 20 of the part 2 of the housing wall ensuring the maintenance of the head 2 of the key when the key is in the first position for which its rod 30 is arranged in the volume defined by the case.
- a pusher 13 is disposed in the bore 20 above the protrusion 12 of the tongue 11; it protrudes outward from the part 2 of the upper wall of the case when the key is in the first position shown in Figure 2.
- the bore 20 and the pusher 13 have two zones of different diameters, said zones being separated by a shoulder, the smaller diameter end opening into the outer face of the part 2 of the upper wall of the housing so as to prevent the exhaust of the pusher 13 outwards under the action of the tab 11.
- the tongue 11 is elastic so that it can be lowered into the position shown in Figure 3 for which the tongue is in the cavity 110 and the upper face of the protuberance 12 is in the plane of the upper face 14 of the head 3.
- the lowering the tongue 11 is made by pressing on the projecting part of the pusher 13 so as to make it enter the bore 20.
- the key holder according to the invention also comprises means to return the key to its second position for which the rod 30 is outlet outside the housing so as to be introduced into a lock.
- These return means are constituted by an elastic means 7, for example a helical spring, attached on the one hand to a hook 8 of the housing and on the other hand on a lug 10 of the head 3 of the key.
- the elastic means 7 extends along of the external wall of the head, in a groove 9 thereof formed at this effect.
- the protrusion 12 of the. tongue flexible 11 is positioned in a cavity 16 formed in part 2 of the upper face of the housing, diametrically opposite the bore 20 in the embodiment shown in the drawing, for which the key rotates 180 ° around axis 14.
- the cavity 16 is, as visible in FIG. 6, such that the key can not be rotated beyond the cavity 16 but that it can be brought back to its first position.
- the wall 17 of cavity 16 is perpendicular to the flat underside of the wall 2 while the wall 18 is oblique.
- the protuberance 12 of the flexible tongue 11 is introduced into the cavity 16 when the key reaches its second position and abuts against the wall 17 of the cavity to stop the rotational movement of the key.
- the protuberance 12 slides along the wall 18 of the cavity until it reaches the plane of the upper face 14 of the head 3 of the key.
- FIG. 7 shows an exemplary embodiment of the head 3 of key and means for hanging the end of the means elastic 7.
- a lug 10 is disposed at the end of the groove 9.
- This lug 10 is generally cylindrical and its upper face is inclined so as to be lower on the side of the lug facing the part throat useful only on the side facing the end of the throat 9.
- a short distance from the lug 10, from the walls 100 integral with the two edges of the groove 9 extend in the plane of the wall of the head 3 of the wrench so as to partially close the open face of the groove 9.
- Such a arrangement makes it easy to put in place the elastic means 7 as soon as their end is provided with a hook: the elastic means 7 is threaded into the groove 9, under the walls 100 until its end hook slides on the inclined upper face of the lug 10 and is positioned around said lug.
- the walls provide the reliable operation by avoiding spring uncoupling 7 compared to lug 10.
