  • the body of the key forms a housing for means electronic remote control for locking means of the vehicle windows.
  • the body includes a storage compartment for the bit. The size of this accommodation is likely to limit in some cases the space available for electronic means contained in the housing.
  • the object of the invention is in particular to optimize the volume available for electronic means contained in a housing forming a key body.
  • the invention relates to a key of the aforementioned type, characterized in that that the pivot axis is inclined relative to the longitudinal direction of the bit.
  • FIG. 1 to 8 a key according to a first mode of embodiment of the invention, designated by the general reference 20.
  • This key 20 is intended, for example, to lock or unlock doors of a vehicle automobile, order an anti-theft device and a starter for this vehicle, etc.
  • the key 20 comprises a body 22, for example of generally prismatic shape flattened, and a bit 24, also called insert, having in particular a general shape of blade.
  • the body 22 comprises a housing 26 comprising first 26A and second 26B half-shells.
  • Each half-shell 26A, 26B comprises a connecting edge J1, J2 with the other half-shell.
  • the housing 26 forms a housing for electronic means 28 intended, for example, to remote control means for locking the doors of the vehicle.
  • the electronic means 28 are controlled using conventional buttons B1 to B3 carried by the second half-shell 26B.
  • the bit 24 has an end 24A, articulated on the first half-shell 26A, and a free end 24B for insertion into a conventional lock corresponding, not shown.
  • the articulated end 24A of the bit is movably mounted on the body 22 around a pivot axis X (see in particular FIG. 3) linked to this body 22, so as to allow movement of the bit 24 between a position of use, such as shown in particular in Figures 1 and 2, and a storage position, such as shown in particular in Figures 4 to 7.
  • bit 24 is shown in solid lines in position of use and, in phantom, in the storage position.
  • the free end 24B of the bit has a generally elongated shape defining a direction longitudinal said longitudinal direction of the bit LP.
  • the free end 24B of the bit is folded relative to the articulated end 24A of this bit, so that the pivot axis X is inclined relative to the longitudinal direction LP of the bit, whether this bit is in the position of use or storage.
  • the longitudinal direction LP of the bit 24 in the position of use is substantially parallel to the joint plane J and to the two more large dimensions of the flattened prismatic body 22.
  • the longitudinal direction LP of the bit 24 in the position of use and the pivot axis X define a median plane MS of body 22 of key.
  • the longitudinal direction LP of the bit 24 in the storage position and the pivot axis X define an inclined plane PI with respect to the median plane PM.
  • the longitudinal direction LP of the bit 24 in position of use is inclined relative to a plane P perpendicular to the pivot axis X at an angle between 1 and 5 °, preferably equal to 3 °.
  • the housing 26 is delimited by two opposite surfaces from above H and bottom B connected to each other by two opposite surfaces, front front and rear AR and two opposite side surfaces LG, LD.
  • One of the side faces, for example the side face LD, comprises a housing 30 for storing the bit 24.
  • This housing 30 is inclined from front to back, relative to the longitudinal direction LP of the bit 24 in position of use, thus taking into account the inclination of the pivot axis X of the bit.
  • the inclination of the storage housing 30 makes it possible to optimize the volume inside of the box 26 available for electronic means 28.
  • pivot axis X is materialized by a body of general shape of revolution forming a pivot 32.
  • This pivot 32 includes a first part 32A mounted journalled in an orifice complementary 34 formed in the first half-shell 26A, and a second part 32B fitted into a complementary orifice 36 formed in the articulated end 24A bit.
  • the bit 24 is secured in rotation (around the X axis) with the second part 32B of the pivot by cooperation of complementary shapes made in the orifice 36 of the bit and on the second part 32B of the pivot.
  • the bit 24 is resiliently returned to its position of use by a spring 38 with angular effect, housed inside the pivot 32, bearing on the housing 26 and this pivot 32.
  • the key 20 includes releasable means for retaining the bit 24 in storage position comprising a control lever 40 movably mounted around a hinge pin Y intended to be linked to the housing 26.
  • the control lever 40 is movable between a rest position allowing in particular the retention of the bit 24 in the storage position, such that shown in Figures 4 to 6, and a release position of this bit 24, such as shown in Figures 7 and 8.
  • control lever 40 is of the first kind. So the lever 40 comprises an operating end 40A, forming a button, and an end 40B of cooperation with the bit 24.
  • the axis Y of articulation of the lever 40 is interposed between its maneuvering ends 40A and cooperation ends 40B.
  • the control lever 40 is resiliently returned to the rest position at by means of a compression spring 42, housed in a blind hole 44 formed in the first half-shell 26A, bearing between the bottom of this hole 44 and the end of lever operation 40A.
  • the axis Y of articulation of the control lever 40 is materialized by two pins 46, integral with lever 40, fitted in two slides 48 forming flanges. These slides 48 are formed in the first half-shell 26A so as to extend substantially parallel to a direction called longitudinal direction of LG slides.
  • the shapes of the pins 46 and of the slides 48 will be described in more detail detail later on the occasion of the second embodiment of the invention.
  • the pins 46 are immobilized longitudinally in the slides 48, after nesting of these pins 46 in these slides 48, for example using complementary fitting means 50, 52, formed on one end of the pivot 32 and on the control lever 40. With reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, it can be seen that these nesting means 50, 52, form a ball joint.
  • the nesting direction of complementary means 50, 52 is roughly transverse to the longitudinal direction LG slides.
  • the pins 46 of the control lever 40 in the corresponding slides 48 then immobilized longitudinally this lever 40 in the slides 48 by driving the pivot 32 into the orifice 34 of the half-shell 26A and in the orifice 36 of the bit 24 so as to fit the complementary means 50, 52 formed on the ball joint 32 and the control lever 40.
  • the bit 24 of the key is in its storage position, as as shown in Figures 4 to 6.
  • the control lever 40 is in the rest position.
  • the end 40B of the control lever cooperates with the bit 24, more particularly with the articulated end 24A of this bit (see FIG. 5), so as to retain the bit 24 in the storage position, against the return force of the spring 38 with angular effect.
  • bit 24 To place the bit 24 in the use position, the user presses the operating end 40A of the control lever so as to oppose the force of return of the spring 42. This has the effect of releasing the end 40B of the control lever relative to the bit 24, as shown in Figures 7 and 8. the bit 24 then moves automatically, under the return effect of the spring 38, towards its position of use, as shown in Figure 1. In this position, the longitudinal direction LP of bit 24 is substantially parallel to the two plus large dimensions of the flattened prismatic body 22.
  • the user presses again on the operating end 40A of the control lever, so as to release the trajectory of the bit 24, then moves this bit 24 to its storage position by opposing the return force of the spring 38.
  • the cooperation end 40B of the control lever may include ramps intended to cooperate with the bit 24 in order to cause a retraction automatic lever 40 when this bit 24 is brought back from its position of use to its storage position.
  • FIGS. 9 to 13 a key is shown according to a second mode of realization of the invention.
  • elements similar to those of Figures 1 to 8 are designated by identical references.
  • control lever 40 articulated on the first half-shell 26A, is flush with the external surface of the second half-shell 26B, carrying the buttons control B1 to B3, so that, in the rest position, this control lever 40 extends the second half-shell 26B.
  • each slide 48 is delimited by two opposite longitudinal faces F1, F2.
  • Each pin 46 has a polygonal cross section delimited by at least two pairs of sides consecutive C1, C2 (two sides of a polygon are said to be consecutive when they have a common summit).
  • the two sides C1, C2 of the same pair respectively form two cooperation stops with a corresponding longitudinal face F1, F2 of the slide 48 to define, on the one hand, the rest position of the lever 40, such that shown in Figure 12, and, on the other hand, the release position of the lever 40, such that shown in Figure 13.
  • the means longitudinal immobilization (in the direction LG) of the pins 46 include, for each slide 48, an end stop 54 for fitting the journal 46 corresponding in the slide.
  • the end stop 54 may not be provided on a single slide 48.
  • the means of longitudinal immobilization of the pins 46 comprise plus a stopper 56 for immobilizing at least one pin 46 against the stop corresponding 54 end of nesting race.
  • This cleat 56 represented on the Figures 9 and 11 is integral with the second half-shell 26B of the housing. Trunnion 46 is inserted longitudinally (in the LG direction) between the stop 54 and the cleat 56.
  • the pins 46 of the control lever are first of all fitted into the runners 48 formed in the first half-shell 26A. Then, the second half-shell 26B is fixed on the first half-shell 26A, of so as to place the cleat 56 in its immobilization position of the pin 46 corresponding, as shown in Figure 11.
  • the bit 24 is similar to that of the first embodiment, the pivot 32 materializing an axis X of orientation identical to that described in the first embodiment of the invention.
