Description

La présente invention concerne un boítier de clé, notamment pour véhicule automobile, présentant un insert rétractable mobile en translation tel que décrit dans le préambule de la revendication 1.The present invention relates to a key housing, in particular for motor vehicle, having a retractable insert movable in translation such as described in the preamble of claim 1.

Les boítiers intégrant de tels inserts rétractables sont particulièrement pratiques car ils permettent, lorsque l'utilisateur n'a pas besoin de se servir de l'insert de clé, de le dissimuler dans la structure même du boítier qui le protège.Cases incorporating such retractable inserts are particularly practical because they allow, when the user does not need to use the key insert, to hide it in the very structure of the case that protects it.

Cette disposition évite que l'insert ne s'accroche dans les poches de l'utilisateur et n'endommage ses vêtements. Cet arrangement permet, en outre, de réduire de manière significative l'encombrement du dispositif.This arrangement prevents the insert from catching in the pockets of the user and does not damage his clothes. This arrangement also allows significantly reduce the size of the device.

Un tel boítier de clé est connu par le document FR-A- 2 609 304 qui propose un dispositif de commande comprenant un boítier dans lequel un insert de clé est logé et dissimulé. L'insert de clé peut être manoeuvré en translation et extrait de son logement à l'aide d'un bouton de préhension couplé à l'insert.Such a key box is known from document FR-A-2 609 304 which offers a control device comprising a housing in which an insert key is housed and concealed. The key insert can be operated in translation and extracted from its housing using a grip button coupled to the insert.

Cet arrangement présente un certain nombre d'inconvénients parmi lesquels un montage complexe nécessitant le montage de l'insert de clé en même temps que l'ensemble des autres éléments du dispositif pouvant être présents dans le boítier, à savoir, la batterie, la télécommande, le bouton d'actionnement de la télécommande, etc....This arrangement has a number of disadvantages among which a complex assembly requiring the assembly of the key insert at the same time that all of the other elements of the device may be present in the case, namely, the battery, the remote control, the actuation button the remote control, etc ...

En conséquence, avec ce type de dispositif, l'insert de clé ne peut être monté ultérieurement sur le boítier.Consequently, with this type of device, the key insert cannot be subsequently mounted on the housing.

Un but de la présente invention est de pallier ces inconvénients et de proposer une solution pour remédier à ces difficultés de montage.An object of the present invention is to overcome these drawbacks and to propose a solution to remedy these mounting difficulties.

A cet effet, l'invention propose un boítier de clé, notamment de véhicule automobile, comprenant un boítier présentant un logement d'insert de forme longitudinale, un insert de clé monté mobile en translation dans ledit logement, un organe de préhension fixé à l'extrémité arrière dudit insert, pour permettre le déplacement de l'insert entre une position escamotée dans laquelle l'insert est dissimulé dans ledit logement et une position déployée dans laquelle l'insert est hors dudit logement, caractérisé en ce que ledit logement d'insert comprend au moins une ouverture d'insertion de l'insert avec l'organe de préhension associé, située à l'une de ses extrémités et en ce que l'organe de préhension coopère avec des moyens de retenue qui, lors de l'introduction de l'insert dans ledit logement d'insert à travers l'ouverture d'insertion, sont effacés pour permettre le passage de l'organe de préhension lors du montage, puis en saillie, après le passage dudit insert au travers de l'ouverture d'insertion, pour empêcher le retrait de l'insert de son logement d'insert.To this end, the invention provides a key box, in particular for a vehicle automobile, comprising a housing having a shaped insert housing longitudinal, a key insert mounted movable in translation in said housing, a gripping member fixed to the rear end of said insert, to allow the displacement of the insert between a retracted position in which the insert is concealed in said housing and a deployed position in which the insert is outside said housing, characterized in that said insert housing comprises at minus an opening for inserting the insert with the associated gripping member, located at one of its ends and in that the gripping member cooperates with retaining means which, when the insert is inserted into said housing insert through the insertion opening, are cleared to allow passage of the gripping member during assembly, then projecting, after the passage of said insert through the insertion opening, to prevent removal of the insert from its insert housing.

Selon l'invention, les moyens de retenue que présente l'organe de préhension permettent un montage simple de l'insert qui peut être fait à tout moment.According to the invention, the retaining means presented by the gripping allow simple assembly of the insert which can be done at any moment.

Ces moyens de retenue comportent de préférence un pion ou plot soumis à la force de moyens élastiques pour faciliter le montage de l'insert dans le logement d'insert.These retaining means preferably comprise a pin or stud subjected to the force of elastic means to facilitate mounting of the insert in the insert housing.

De manière avantageuse, le pion coopère avec des encoches, associées aux butées de fin de courses, disposées à chaque extrémité du logement d'insert, pour former des moyens d'indexation. Ces moyens d'indexation permettent un indexage de l'insert en position déployée et escamotée de sorte que l'insert, lorsqu'il se trouve en prise avec les moyens d'indexation correspondants à ces positions, est bloqué et ne peut quitter accidentellement, par exemple par suite de vibrations, la position de blocage dans laquelle il se trouve.Advantageously, the pin cooperates with notches, associated with the end stops, arranged at each end of the insert housing, to form indexing means. These means of indexing allow indexing of the insert in the deployed and retracted position so that the insert, when it is engaged with the indexing means corresponding to these positions, is blocked and cannot accidentally leave, for example by following vibrations, the blocking position in which it is located.

D'autres caractéristiques relatives à des modes particuliers et avantageux sont présentés dans les revendications dépendantes.Other characteristics relating to particular modes and advantageous are set out in the dependent claims.

Pour faciliter la compréhension du lecteur, les figures 1 et 2, qui représentent schématiquement en perspective un boítier de clé selon l'invention, seront décrites conjointement. Sur ces figures, on voit un boítier de clé 1 selon l'invention comprenant un boítier ou coque 2 de forme générale parallélépipédique réalisé, par exemple, sous la forme de deux demi coques assemblées sur charnière ou soudée, par exemple, par ultra sons. Ce boítier ou coque 2 présente un logement d'insert 3 allongé dans lequel est logé un insert de clé 4, mobile en translation dans le logement d'insert 3.To facilitate the understanding of the reader, Figures 1 and 2, which schematically represent in perspective a key housing according to the invention, will be described jointly. In these figures, we see a key housing 1 according to the invention comprising a housing or shell 2 of generally parallelepipedal shape produced, for example, in the form of two half shells assembled on hinge or welded, for example, by ultrasound. This housing or shell 2 has an elongated insert housing 3 in which is housed a key insert 4, movable in translation in the insert housing 3.

Respectivement, les figures 1 et 2 montrent un boítier de clé selon l'invention dans lequel l'insert de clé 4 est en position escamotée position A (figure 1) : l'insert est dissimulé dans logement d'insert 3, et en position déployée position B (figure 2): l'insert est hors dudit logement.Respectively, FIGS. 1 and 2 show a key box according to the invention in which the key insert 4 is in the retracted position position A (FIG. 1): the insert is hidden in insert housing 3, and in the deployed position B (Figure 2): the insert is out of said housing.

L'insert de clé 4 présente à l'une de ses extrémité arrière 4a un organe de préhension 5 permettant à un utilisateur de mouvoir ledit insert en translation entre la position A et la position B.The key insert 4 has at one of its rear end 4a a member gripping 5 allowing a user to move said insert in translation between position A and position B.

Selon l'invention, le logement d'insert 3 comprend au moins une ouverture d'insertion 6 de l'insert 4 avec l'organe de préhension 5 associé, située à l'une de ses extrémités 3a, de sorte que, lors de montage du boítier de clé, l'insert de clé 4 portant l'organe de préhension 5 est inséré à travers ladite ouverture d'insertion 6.According to the invention, the insert housing 3 comprises at least one insertion opening 6 of the insert 4 with the associated gripping member 5, located at one of its ends 3a, so that, during assembly of the key box, the insert key 4 carrying the gripping member 5 is inserted through said opening insertion 6.

Le logement d'insert 3 présente également une ouverture longitudinale formant fente par laquelle l'organe de préhension 5 fait saillie à l'extérieur du boítier 2 pour permettre, par actionnement de l'organe 5 par un utilisateur, le déplacement de l'insert de clé 4.The insert housing 3 also has a longitudinal opening forming a slot through which the gripping member 5 projects outside the housing 2 to allow, by actuation of the member 5 by a user, the moving the key insert 4.

Selon l'invention, l'organe de préhension 5 coopère avec des moyens de retenue (non visibles sur les figures 1 et 2) qui, lors de l'introduction de l'insert de clé 4 dans ledit logement d'insert 3 à travers l'ouverture d'insertion 6, sont effacés pour permettre le passage de l'organe de préhension 5 lors du montage, puis en saillie, après le passage dudit insert 4 au travers de l'ouverture d'insertion 6, pour empêcher le retrait de l'insert 4 de son logement d'insert 3.According to the invention, the gripping member 5 cooperates with means retainer (not visible in Figures 1 and 2) which, when inserting the insert key 4 in said insert housing 3 through the insertion opening 6, are erased to allow the passage of the gripping member 5 during assembly, then projecting, after the passage of said insert 4 through the insertion opening 6, to prevent the removal of the insert 4 from its insert housing 3.

Ainsi, il n'est pas à craindre, lors de la manipulation de l'insert 4 entre sa position B et sa position A pour le faire revenir dans sa position escamotée, que l'insert 4 sorte que son logement 3 par l'ouverture 6 ayant servie à l'insertion.Thus, it is not to be feared, when handling the insert 4 between its position B and its position A to make it return to its retracted position, that the insert 4 so that its housing 3 through the opening 6 having been used for insertion.

La figure 3 présente en vue éclatée en perspective un premier mode de réalisation des moyens de retenue pour empêcher le retrait de l'insert de son logement d'insert. Figure 3 shows in exploded perspective view a first embodiment of the retaining means to prevent the removal of the insert from its insert housing.

L'insert de clé 4 est mobile en translation dans le logement d'insert 3 par l'intermédiaire d'un organe de préhension 5 que porte l'insert.In these figures we see the key box 1 according to the invention comprising a shell 2 and an insert housing 3 of longitudinal shape which can accommodate a key insert 4. The key insert 4 is movable in translation in the insert housing 3 via a gripping member 5 that carries the insert.

L'organe de préhension 5 est réalisé, assemblé et fixé selon la description faite en rapport avec la figure 3.The gripping member 5 is produced, assembled and fixed according to the description made in connection with Figure 3.

Le logement d'insert 3 présente, au niveau de son extrémité 3a, une ouverture d'insertion 6 pour permettre, lors de montage, l'introduction de l'insert 4 muni de l'organe de préhension 5, dans le logement d'insert 3.The insert housing 3 has, at its end 3a, a insertion opening 6 to allow, during assembly, the insertion of the insert 4 provided with the gripping member 5, in the insert housing 3.

Selon l'invention, le logement d'insert est pourvu, à son extrémité du côté de l'ouverture d'insertion 6, d'un rétrécissement local 11, orienté selon la hauteur h dudit logement.According to the invention, the insert housing is provided, at its end with the side of the insertion opening 6, of a local narrowing 11, oriented along the height h of said housing.

Il présente également à son extrémité 3b opposée à l'ouverture d'insertion 6 des moyens de guidage 12 de l'insert de clé 4 pour le passage de la position escamotée A de l'insert à la position déployée B dans laquelle l'insert peut être utilisé. Ces moyens de guidage 12 sont réalisés, par exemple à l'aide de parois, limitant la section du logement d'insert 3 tout en permettant le passage de l'insert 4.It also has at its end 3b opposite the opening insertion 6 of the guide means 12 of the key insert 4 for the passage of the retracted position A of the insert to the deployed position B in which the insert can to be used. These guide means 12 are produced, for example using walls, limiting the section of the insert housing 3 while allowing the passage of insert 4.

Des butées de fin de course 13 comportant de manière adjacente des encoches 14 (figure 7) sont également disposées au niveau de chaque extrémité 3a et 3b du logement d'insert 3.End-of-travel stops 13 having adjacent notches 14 (figure 7) are also arranged at each end 3a and 3b of insert housing 3.

De manière avantageuse, du côté de l'ouverture d'insertion 6, la butée de fin de course est formée par le rétrécissement local 11 et du côté opposé à l'ouverture la butée de fin de course est formée par les moyens de guidage 12 de l'insert en sortie du logement 3.Advantageously, on the side of the insertion opening 6, the stop limit switch is formed by the local narrowing 11 and on the side opposite to opening the end of travel stop is formed by the guide means 12 of the insert at the outlet of the housing 3.

Selon l'invention également, l'organe de préhension 5 présente des moyens de retenue 7 muni de moyens élastiques réalisés sous la forme d'un ressort 9.According to the invention also, the gripping member 5 has retaining means 7 provided with elastic means produced in the form of a spring 9.

Lors du montage de l'insert 4 dans le logement 3 du boítier 2, l'organe de préhension 5 bute sur le rétrécissement local 11 présent à l'entrée de l'ouverture d'insertion 6 (figure 4). Le ressort 9 des moyens de retenus 7 est comprimé et le pion 10 est escamoté pour permettre l'introduction de l'insert 4 dans l'ouverture d'insertion 6. Lors de cette insertion, les moyens de retenue 7 coopèrent avec le rétrécissement local 11 et permettent de faire avancer l'insert 4 dans son logement 3 (figure 5).When mounting the insert 4 in the housing 3 of the housing 2, the member grip 5 abuts the local shrinkage 11 present at the entrance to insertion opening 6 (figure 4). The spring 9 of the retaining means 7 is compressed and the pin 10 is retracted to allow the insertion of the insert 4 in the insertion opening 6. During this insertion, the retaining means 7 cooperate with the local constriction 11 and allow the insert 4 to advance in its housing 3 (Figure 5).

L'insert en introduit plus en avant dans le logement 3 jusqu'à la fin du rétrécissement local 11. Les moyens de retenue 7 ne coopèrent plus avec le rétrécissement local 11 et les moyens élastiques formés par le ressort 9 sont libérés (figure 6). Dans cette disposition, les moyens de retenue 7 ne peuvent plus être comprimés pour passer par dessus le rétrécissement local 11 de sorte que le retrait de l'insert 4 de son logement d'insert 3 est empêché.The insert introduces further into the housing 3 until the end of the local narrowing 11. The retaining means 7 no longer cooperate with the local narrowing 11 and the elastic means formed by the spring 9 are released (Figure 6). In this arrangement, the retaining means 7 can no longer be compressed to go over the local shrinkage 11 so the removal of the insert 4 from its insert housing 3 is prevented.

Le ressort de compression 9 des moyens de retenus 7 permet de garantir l'indémontabilité de l'insert 4.The compression spring 9 of the retaining means 7 makes it possible to guarantee that the insert cannot be removed 4.

L'extrémité du rétrécissement local 11 du côté du logement d'insert 3 constitue ainsi une butée d'arrêt ou butée de fin de course 13 qui bloque le déplacement de l'insert dans la direction de la butée.The end of the local constriction 11 on the side of the insert housing 3 thus constitutes a stop or end of travel stop 13 which blocks the displacement of the insert in the direction of the stop.

Une telle butée de fin de course 13 est également présente à l'extrémité 3b opposée à l'ouverture d'insertion 6 du logement 3 et est couplée au moyens de guidage 12 de l'insert. En effet, lors du déplacement de l'insert de sa position escamotée A à sa position déployée B, un guidage en sortie de l'insert au niveau de l'extrémité 3b du logement d'insert 3 est réalisé pour garantir une tenue de l'insert en torsion lorsque ce dernier est introduit dans un verrou (non représenté) pour actionner ledit verrou en rotation.Such a limit stop 13 is also present at the end 3b opposite the insertion opening 6 of the housing 3 and is coupled to the means of guide 12 of the insert. Indeed, when moving the insert from its position retracted A in its deployed position B, a guide at the outlet of the insert at the level of the end 3b of the insert housing 3 is made to guarantee a holding of the torsional insert when the latter is inserted into a lock (not shown) to actuate said rotary latch.

Les moyens de guidage 12 sont issus de matière avec la coque (ou boítier) 2 pour former une pièce unique et garantir une reprise de l'effort de torsion de l'insert 4 en fonctionnement dans un verrou.The guide means 12 are made from material with the shell (or case) 2 to form a single piece and guarantee a resumption of the torsional force insert 4 in operation in a lock.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, les butées de fin de courses 13, présentes aux extrémités 3a et 3b du logement d'insert 3, comportent de manière adjacente des encoches 14. Ces encoches 14 coopèrent avec le pion 10 des moyens de retenus 7 pour former des moyens d'indexation 15 définissant la position escamotée A et la position déployée B de l'insert 4.According to another aspect of the invention, the end stops 13, present at the ends 3a and 3b of the insert housing 3, so comprise adjacent notches 14. These notches 14 cooperate with the pin 10 of the retained means 7 to form indexing means 15 defining the retracted position A and the deployed position B of the insert 4.

Cet indexage de l'insert permet à l'utilisateur de savoir quand il a atteint la position escamotée A ou la position déployée B pour qu'il ne force pas sur l'organe de préhension.This indexing of the insert allows the user to know when he has reached the retracted position A or the extended position B so that it does not force on the gripping organ.

Cet indexage est particulièrement visible sur la figure 7 montrant le pion 10 en prise, grâce au ressort 9, avec l'encoche 14 pour indexer l'insert en position déployée B.This indexing is particularly visible in Figure 7 showing the pawn 10 in engagement, thanks to the spring 9, with the notch 14 for indexing the insert in position deployed B.

La figure 8 présente une vue partielle schématique en coupe selon l'axe X-X de la figure 1 d'un second mode de réalisation des moyens de retenue. Figure 8 shows a partial schematic sectional view along the axis XX of Figure 1 of a second embodiment of the retaining means.

Dans ce second mode de réalisation de l'invention, les moyens de retenue 7 sont disposés dans le logement d'insert 3. Ils sont constitués d'un plot (ou pion) 16 soumis à la force de moyens élastiques formés par un ressort 17. Le plot 16 présente, du côté de l'ouverture d'insertion 6, un partie chanfreinée 16a.In this second embodiment of the invention, the means of retainer 7 are arranged in the insert housing 3. They consist of a stud (or pawn) 16 subjected to the force of elastic means formed by a spring 17. The pad 16 has, on the side of the insertion opening 6, a chamfered part 16a.

L'organe de préhension 5 présente quant à lui un curseur de commande 8 muni d'un pion 10.The gripping member 5 has a control cursor 8 with a pawn 10.

Ainsi, lors du montage de l'insert 4 dans le logement d'insert 3, le pion 10 coopère avec le plot 16 qui bascule élastiquement grâce au ressort 17 et s'escamote pour permettre l'insertion de l'ensemble insert 4 plus organe de préhension 5 dans le logement d'insert 3. Thus, when mounting the insert 4 in the insert housing 3, the pin 10 cooperates with the stud 16 which rocks elastically thanks to the spring 17 and retracts to allow insertion of the insert assembly 4 plus gripping 5 in the insert housing 3.

Une fois que l'organe de préhension a passé le plot 16, ce dernier reprend élastiquement sa position initiale et empêche le retrait de l'insert 4 de son logement 3.Once the gripping member has passed the stud 16, the latter resumes its original position and prevents removal of insert 4 from its housing 3.

La partie chanfreinée 16a que présente le plot 16 facilite l'introduction de l'ensemble insert 4 plus organe de préhension 5 en aidant à l'escamotage des moyens de retenue 7.The chamfered part 16a presented by the stud 16 facilitates the introduction of the insert assembly 4 plus gripping member 5 helping to retract the restraint 7.

De manière avantageuse, en plus des moyens de guidage 12 de l'insert en sortie du boítier 2, on prévoit des seconds moyens de guidage de l'insert de clé 4. Ces seconds moyens de guidage sont réalisés sous la forme d'une rainure disposée longitudinalement sur le fond du logement 3 dans l'axe de l'insert4. Lors du déplacement de l'insert 4 d'une position à une autre, le pion 10 de l'organe de préhension 5 coopère avec cette rainure pour former des moyens de guidage de l'insert.Advantageously, in addition to the means 12 for guiding the insert at the outlet of the housing 2, second means are provided for guiding the key insert 4. These second guide means are produced in the form of a groove arranged longitudinally on the bottom of the housing 3 in the axis of the insert 4. then displacement of the insert 4 from one position to another, the pin 10 of the gripping 5 cooperates with this groove to form guide means for the insert.

Grâce à l'invention, on a réalisé un boítier de clé pour le logement d'un insert rétractable dans lequel le montage de l'insert est particulièrement simple.Thanks to the invention, a key box has been produced for housing a retractable insert in which the fitting of the insert is particularly simple.

Cette faculté de pouvoir monter l'insert de clé après l'intégration de tous les autres éléments (batterie, unité télécommande ...) est particulièrement appréciable, surtout lorsque, par exemple, le boítier et l'insert de clé ne sont pas fabriqués au même endroit.This ability to be able to mount the key insert after the integration of all the other elements (battery, remote control unit ...) is particularly appreciable, especially when, for example, the case and the key insert are not manufactured in the same place.

Par ailleurs, l'indexage de l'insert en position escamotée ou déployée par les moyens de retenue coopérant avec des encoches, tel décrit dans le cadre du premier mode de réalisation, est d'une sensation très appréciable lors de la manipulation de l'organe de préhension pour le déplacement de l'insert.Furthermore, the indexing of the insert in the retracted or deployed position by the retaining means cooperating with notches, as described in the context of the first embodiment, is of a very appreciable feeling during the manipulation of the gripping member for moving the insert.
