Definitions
- the present invention relates to a key holder of the retractable key.
- the invention relates more particularly to such a key holder used in the automotive industry, especially for realize a so-called "electronic" key which is an object identification of an authorized user of a vehicle who includes in particular active electronic components or passive arranged in a case of the electronic key.
- Such an electronic key allows, in operation normal, to access the vehicle if it is a compliant key and it allows in particular to unlock the various openings of the vehicle such as in particular its access doors to the passenger compartment of the vehicle. It can also allow you to use the vehicle by constituting a badge necessary for the order anti-theft means.
- the body or stem of the conventional mechanical key is not so used very rarely and so it turned out desirable to be able to store the key rod in a key holder of the retractable key type.
- document DE-A-4,226,579 which shows the characteristics of the preamble of claim 1, describes and represents a keychain of the type comprising a case and a key mounted to pivot between a storage position in which it is retracted into a housing of the housing and an output position which is offset angularly about 180 ° from the position of storage, of the type in which the pivot axis of the key is arranged in the vicinity of an angle of the housing, and of the type in which the key comprises a key body or rod, one of which end is pivotally mounted relative to the housing around of said axis.
- the invention aims to provide a keychain of this type in which the key rod can be easily handled between its two extreme angular positions of use and storage, while having an aesthetic case and little cumbersome.
- the invention provides a key holder comprising the features of claim 1.
- the key holder 10 according to the invention shown in the figures consists essentially of a hollow housing 12 which is a molded plastic part of general shape rectangular parallelepiped which has two pieces or complementary shells respectively upper 14S and lower 14l which are interconnected according to a joint plane median P.
- the housing 12 thus comprises two main walls parallel and rectangular 16 and 18 belonging respectively in the upper and lower hulls 14S and 14l, two long parallel and opposite side walls 20 and 22 each formed for half in the upper shell and for half in the lower shell and which each extend the along opposite long parallel edges of main rectangular walls 16 and 18, and finally two walls short parallel and opposite sides 24 and 26 also each formed for half in the upper shell and for half in the lower shell and which each extend the along opposite parallel edges of short length of main rectangular walls 16 and 18.
- the hollow housing 12 delimits a main internal cavity 28 in which is arranged a printed circuit board 30 which carries electronic components 32 which may include a or more switches, means of transmission by infrared or radio frequency signals, etc.
- the cavity 28 is delimited laterally by an internal partition 34, produced integrally by molding with the two shells of the housing 12 and which is a flat partition parallel to the long side wall 20 with which it delimits a housing 36 which, within the meaning of the invention constitutes a storage housing for a rod of flat key 38.
- the internal partition 34 can be formed to half in the upper shell and half in the shell lower, or be molded with the lower shell and extend vertically to the internal face of the main wall 16.
- the storage housing 36 is closed by the portion facing the rectangular main wall 16 while it is open transversely in the main wall rectangular 18 in which they open out in the form a longitudinal slot 40 which extends into the wall short lateral 24 at least partly in the total thickness of the case 12.
- the long side wall 20 has a notch or recess 42 in the shape of a half moon which is open in the lower rectangular main wall 18.
- the key rod 38 is a flat key rod, that is to say that it is generally in the form of a plate elongated with one longitudinal end 44 mounted articulated on the housing 12 by means of a transverse axis joint 46.
- the articulation axis 46 is arranged at one of the angles of the box 12, that is to say here more precisely in the vicinity of the angle corresponding to the intersection of the lateral faces 20 and 24.
- the articulation of the longitudinal end 44 of the key shank plate 38 is arranged so that it can rotate 180 degrees around a geometric axis A which is perpendicular in the general plane of the elongated flat key rod 38, and which is perpendicular to the side wall 20 and to the partition intermediate 34.
- the axis of articulation A is arranged at the angle 47 of the box 12 corresponding to the intersection of the side walls long 20 and short 24.
- slot 40 is very narrow and only the lower edge 48 of the stem flat key 38 is visible from slot 40.
- the notch or recess 42 allows easy gripping of the rod 38, this gripping being further facilitated by a notch 50 formed in the face lateral lateral 52 of the flat key rod 38 adjacent to the side wall 20.
- the storage of the flat key rod 38 is carried out by rotating 180 degrees from position illustrated in Figure 3 to the position illustrated in Figures 1 and 4.
- the clevis mounting of the hinge pin 46 of the flat key rod 38, between the parts facing the wall lateral 20 and intermediate partition 34, is particularly resistant so as to allow maneuvering of a lock controlling a lock by means of the key rod flat 38, in the out-of-use position, the housing 12 thus constituting a gripping and handling member of the key analogous to a key head of classic design.
Description
- ladite paroi latérale du boítier comporte une encoche facilitant la préhension de la tige de clef plate en vue de son extraction hors du logement de rangement ;
- le boítier est en forme générale de parallélépipède rectangle, et ladite paroi latérale s'étend le long d'un des bords parallèles de grande longueur des deux parois principales rectangulaires du boítier ;
- le boítier comporte deux coques complémentaires séparées par un plan de joint médian parallèle aux deux parois principales ;
- le boítier délimite une cavité interne qui reçoit des composants appartenant à un système de commande à distance de moyens de verrouillage d'ouvrants d'un véhicule automobile.
- la figure 1 est une vue en perspective de trois-quarts de dessus d'un porte-clef réalisé conformément aux enseignements de l'invention et sur laquelle la tige de clef plate est représentée en position rangée ;
- la figure 2 est une vue similaire à celle de la figure 1 sur laquelle la tige de clef plate est représentée dans une position angulaire intermédiaire en cours d'extraction hors du logement de rangement ;
- la figure 3 est une vue similaire à celles des figures 1 et 2 sur laquelle la tige de clef plate est représentée en position sortie d'utilisation ;
