Definitions

  • the invention proposes a motor vehicle key which comprises a retractable rod.
  • the invention more particularly proposes a key, especially a motor vehicle, of the type comprising a retractable rod which extends in a substantially longitudinal direction and which is slidably mounted longitudinally inside a housing forming a key operating head. between a retracted rear position in which at least one section of the rod is received within a housing housing, and a front-use position in which at least one front end section of the key shaft extends outside the housing, and of the type comprising a return spring of the key shank towards its position of use, and means for locking the rod in the retracted position against the elastic force return spring.
  • This type of key is used to protect the rod from various external aggressions that could damage it and could thus prevent the operation of the mechanism associated with the key.
  • the heads of the current vehicle keys are usually an electronic box that allows for example to remotely control the locking of the vehicle doors.
  • this box occupies a certain volume.
  • a key comprising such a housing supplemented with a conventional rod, occupies a volume that can be cumbersome. This space is reduced when the rod is retracted inside the housing.
  • the invention aims to allow the realization of a key in which the number of parts used for the return of the rod in the use position is reduced, and for which the assembly is simplified compared to the prior art.
  • US 3,328,986 discloses a key housing comprising an insert movable in translation under the action of a return spring.
  • the return spring acts on the insert via a connecting piece incorporating means for actuating the return spring.
  • the invention proposes a key of the type described above, having the characteristics of the claim.
  • FIG. 1 a key 10 which allows to operate the mechanism of a lock (not shown) of a motor vehicle which comprises a housing 12 and a key shaft 14 shown in simplified schematic form.
  • the key 10 also includes an electronic device (not shown) which is fixed inside the housing 12.
  • This electronic device makes it possible in particular to remotely control the locking and unlocking of the doors.
  • it comprises control buttons 18 of its various functions which extend vertically through the upper wall of the housing 12.
  • the housing 12 forms the head of the key 10 and makes it possible to operate the key 10, in particular to pivot it in the lock around the longitudinal axis of the rod 14.
  • the housing 12 is a hollow element which opens into its upper face, thus allowing access to its internal volume, in particular to change the folds 19 of the electronic device when they are exhausted.
  • the upper face of the housing 12 is closed by a removable closure cover 16.
  • the rod 14 is an element which extends along a substantially longitudinal axis. It is intended to cooperate with the mechanism of the lock of the vehicle.
  • the rod 14 is retractable and it can thus disappear completely inside the housing 12, as shown in Figure 1.
  • the rod 14 is slidably mounted longitudinally relative to the housing 12 between a retracted rear position in which the rod 14 is received inside the housing 12, and a position before use, shown in particular in FIG. 2, in which a front end portion 20 extends outside the housing 12.
  • the internal volume of the housing 12 also opens out a guide orifice 64 of rectangular shape complementary to the section of the rod 14, which receives the rod 14 in sliding and which prevents the rod 14 from pivoting about its axis, relative to the housing 12, when the key 10 is manipulated.
  • the key 10 also comprises a spring 22 for returning the rod 14 to its forward position.
  • the return of the rod 14 to its position of use avoids the user any discomfort to remove the rod 14 of the housing 12, especially since, when the rod 14 is in the retracted position, the user does not have no hold to manipulate the rod 14.
  • the key 10 comprises locking means of the rod 14. in the retracted position, acting against the return force of the spring 22, and the locking means of the rod 14 in the use position.
  • an end 24 of the return spring 22 acts directly on the key rod 14.
  • the spring 22 is a spring of the spiral type, that is to say which consists of a winding of a band or ribbon around one of its ends.
  • the spring 22 is here a winding around a vertical axis A1.
  • the spring 22 is housed in a cavity 28 of the housing 12 which is cylindrical with a vertical main axis and a substantially circular horizontal section.
  • the cavity 28 is located near the forward longitudinal end of the housing 12, that is to say near the guide orifice 64 of the rod 14, and it is separated from the housing of the rod 14 by a partition 30 which extends vertically upwards from the bottom wall 32 of the housing 12.
  • the partition wall 30 has an opening 34 which allows the passage of the end 24 of the spring 22 which acts on the rod 14.
  • the spring 22 when the rod 14 is in the retracted position, the spring 22 is under load, so as to exert a return force of the rod 14 towards its position of use, and when the rod 14 is in the position of use, the spring 22 is little or not loaded. It then exerts a lower or almost zero return force on the rod 14.
  • the inner end 42 of the spring 22 is not fixed to the housing 12, the restoring force of the spring 22 then being due solely to the fact that the spring 22 has a natural tendency to curl up on itself.
  • the end 24 of the spring 22 acting on the rod 14 is the free end of the radially outer strand 26, and here it is fixed to the rear longitudinal end 36 of the rod 14.
  • the rear end 36 of the rod 14 comprises two lateral grooves 38 disposed on either side of the rod, and the end 24 of the spring 22 is of complementary shape to one of the two grooves 38 and is housed in this throat 38.
  • the key comprises a clip or jumper 40 of elastic material which allows the attachment of the end 24 of the spring 22 to the key shaft.
  • This clip 40 is U-shaped, the free ends of the two branches are each housed in a groove 38 of the rear end 36 of the rod 14. As a result, one of the branches of the clip 40 traps the end 24 of the spring 22 in the groove 38 associated.
  • the clip 40 extends longitudinally rearwardly from the rear longitudinal end of the rod 14, and its height or thickness is equal to that of the rod 14.
  • the locking means of the rod 14 in its two positions of use and retracted comprise a locking member 48 which cooperates with a heel 50 of the clip 40.
  • the clip 40 extends transversely with respect to the lateral face of the rod 14. It comprises a heel 50 which extends transversely.
  • the locking member 48 is of longitudinal orientation, it has a vertical front transverse face 48a, and a rear transverse face 48b.
  • the heel 50 has a vertical front transverse face 50a, and a rear vertical transverse face 50b.
  • the front face 48a of the locking member 48 cooperates with the rear face 50b of the heel 50
  • the rear face 48b of the blocking member 50 cooperates with the rear face 50a of the heel 50.
  • the lengths of the locking member 48 and the heel 50 are determined so that the rod 14 is in its front and rear positions when the locking member 48 and the heel 50 cooperate with each other in both positions.
  • the front face 50a of the heel 50 bears against the rear face 52 of the front wall 53 of the housing 12.
  • the locking member 48 is disposed relative to the front wall 53 of the housing 12 so that the heel 50 can be housed in the space thus formed with a small clearance when the rod 14 is in position before use.
  • the locking member 50 is movably mounted between a locking high position in which it cooperates with the heel 40, and a low position retracted into a housing 66 of the lower wall of the housing 12 in which the rod 14 is free to slide,
  • the locking member 48 is hingedly mounted relative to the housing 12 about a horizontal longitudinal axis A2.
  • a cylindrical rod 54 of circular section and A2 longitudinal axis is received in a complementary housing 56 of the housing 12, and the locking member 48 is connected transversely to the cylindrical rod 54 to achieve the articulation of the organ blocking 48.
  • the key 10 also comprises a control element 58 for locking the rod 14 in the use position and in the retracted position.
  • This control element 58 is able to be actuated manually from the outside of the housing 12, it passes through an orifice of the housing which communicates with the outside, and it is integral with the locking member 48 to control the pivoting of the latter .
  • the locking member 48, the cylindrical rod 54 and the control element 58 are made in one piece, for example by molding.
  • the key 10 comprises a second spring 60 for returning the locking member 48 to its locking position of the rod 14 when the user no longer acts on the control element 58, that the rod 14 is in position retracted or in use position.
  • the second spring 60 is interposed in compression between the housing 12 and the control element 58.
  • the return spring 22 allows an automatic output of the rod 14 to its position of use, to enter the rod 14 in the housing, the user must apply a force on the rod 14, thus resonating the spring 22 in view before a new use of the device.
  • the invention thus provides a key 10 which comprises a retractable rod 14 in a housing 12 forming the head of the key 10, the output of the rod 14 is effected by means of a return spring 22.
  • the key 10 has no intermediate element between the rod 14 and the spring 22, which simplifies the mounting of the key 10 and reduces its cost.
