Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a key used for example for actuating locks of motor vehicles.
  • keys having an integral end of a clevis mounted in a housing for rotation about a pivot axis between a retracted position of the key in the housing and an extended position of the key.
  • a control pusher is mounted in a housing of the yoke to be integral in pivoting thereof and for sliding between a holding position of the yoke in the retracted position and a release position of the pivoting of the yoke.
  • a spring is interposed between the housing and the control pusher to elastically return the yoke in its extended position and the control pusher in its holding position.
  • control pusher is forced into the housing of the yoke.
  • This force fitting causes deformations of the parts weakening them and requires the use of relatively expensive specific tooling.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a means for mounting the pusher does not have the disadvantages mentioned above.
  • a key having an integral end of a yoke mounted in a housing for rotation about a pivot axis between a retracted position of the key in the housing and an extended position of the key, and a control pusher mounted in a housing of the yoke to be integral in pivoting thereof and to slide between a holding position of the yoke at least in the retracted position and a position of release of the pivoting of the yoke, a spring being interposed between the housing and the control pusher to elastically return the yoke in the output position of the key and the control pusher in its holding position, the control pusher comprising at least one lug received in a groove of the housing, the groove having an inlet section opening through a first end on an outer face of the yoke and opening through a second end in a terminal section at an angle thereto, the terminal section extending according to the pivot axis.
  • the terminal section receives the lug of the control pusher in operation and allows it to slide between its holding position and its release position.
  • the input section makes it possible to introduce the lug into the terminal section without it being necessary to deform the control pusher, the lug or the yoke.
  • the assembly is thus particularly simple and easy and does not cause excessive stresses parts.
  • the inlet section comprises in the vicinity of its first end a portion extending parallel to the pivot axis, and in the vicinity of its second end a portion extending in a circumferential direction of the housing .
  • the groove comprises an additional section extending axially to open on the one hand in the terminal section and on the other hand on an outer face of the yoke opposite to the outer face on which the inlet section opens.
  • control pusher comprises two lugs and the housing comprises two grooves, and preferably the lugs form between them an angle less than 180 °.
  • the support force of the control pusher on the yoke under the effect of the spring is thus balanced while having a limited space of the control pusher and the yoke.
  • the key comprises a hinge member of the yoke in the housing, the hinge element being interposed between the spring and the housing and comprising an end mounted fixed in rotation in the housing and an opposite end received pivotally in the housing receiving the control pusher.
  • the key according to the invention is here described as a device for actuating locks such as those of a motor vehicle.
  • the key is used for locking and unlocking the opening (doors, trunk, %) of the ignition switch and the steering column.
  • the key is mounted in a housing 2 for pivoting between a retracted position in a lateral recess 3 of the housing 2 and an extended position in which the key 1 extends 180 ° relative to its retracted position.
  • the housing 2 is here formed of a receptacle 4 closed by a cover 5 and here encloses an electronic remote control module arranged in a manner known per se to actuate remotely a centralized locking and unlocking device of the doors (doors, doors and windows). trunk) of the motor vehicle.
  • the key 1 comprises an end 6 fixed in a clevis generally designated 7 and mounted in one end of the lateral recess 3 to pivot between the extended position and the retracted position of the key 1.
  • the yoke 7 has two external faces 8, 9 parallel and opposite to each other.
  • the yoke 7 comprises a housing 10 having a central axis 11 perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the key 1 and the outer faces 8, 9.
  • the housing 10 has a circular cross section and opens on the outer faces 8, 9.
  • Grooves 12 are formed in the housing 10.
  • the grooves 12 are angularly offset relative to each other by an angle ⁇ which is approximately 170 °. This angular offset less than 180 ° prevents one of the grooves impinge on the area of the clevis 7 devolving at the end 6 of the key 1 while having a relatively compact clevis 7.
  • Each groove 12 comprises an inlet section 13 opening through an end portion 13.1 on the outer face 8 of the yoke 7 and an end portion 13.2 in a terminal section 14 here blind.
  • the inlet section 13 here has an L shape, that is to say that the end portion 13.1 extends parallel to the central axis 11 and the end portion 13.2 extends along a circumference of the housing 10.
  • the end portion 13.2 is here delimited laterally only by a sidewall on the side of the outer face 8, to simplify the manufacture of the yoke 7 (this will be explained later).
  • the end section 14 extends parallel to the central axis 11 and is located behind the end portion 13.1 with reference to the pivoting direction of the key 1 from its retracted position to its extended position.
  • the end section 14 has on the side opposite to the end portion 13.2 a flank 28 which extends axially in the housing 10.
  • the housing 10 of the yoke 7 accommodates a hinge member generally designated 16 and a control pusher generally designated 17 between which extends a spring 18.
  • the hinge element 16 has a cylindrical outer shape with a circular contour and has an end 19 received in a cavity 20 of the end of the lateral recess 3 receiving the yoke 7 and on the opposite end 21 received pivotally in the housing 10 of the yoke 7.
  • the end 19 of the hinge element 16 and the cavity 20 have reliefs of complementary shape immobilizing the hinge element 16 in rotation relative to the housing 2.
  • the end 19 may thus for example comprise flats in contact with corresponding flat surfaces of the cavity 20 or an eccentric cavity receiving a corresponding relief projecting from the cavity 20.
  • the end 21 has a shape substantially cylindrical outer ring.
  • the control pusher 17 has a circular cylindrical outer surface and has an end portion 22 received in the housing 10 and an opposite end portion 23 projecting from the housing 10 and the cover 5 through a light of this last.
  • Two lugs 24 offset angularly relative to each other by 170 ° project from the end portion 22 and are received in the end portions 14 of the grooves 12 to slide between a locking position of the pivoting of the the clevis 7 and a release position of the pivoting of the yoke 7.
  • two lugs 25 projecting from the end portion 23 set back from the end face thereof are engaged in two notches 26 formed in the vicinity of the light of the cover 5 of the housing 2 180 ° from one another.
  • the control pusher 17 is depressed and the lugs 25 are disengaged from the notches 26.
  • the hinge element 16 and the control pusher 17 define an axis of articulation and pivoting of the yoke 7 with respect to the housing 2. This hinge axis coincides with the central axis 11.
  • the spring 18 has ends immobilized in rotation in the articulation member 16 and in the control pusher 17.
  • the control pusher 17 here comprises a slot 27 receiving the corresponding end of the spring 18 to immobilize this end in rotation by compared to the pusher.
  • the spring 18 is a helical spring arranged to work in compression so that it tends to bring the control pushbutton 17 into its locking position.
  • the spring 18 has undergone a twist of at least 180 ° with respect to its rest state.
  • the spring 18 is thus also arranged to work in torsion so that it tends to hold the pins 24 in abutment against the side 28 of the terminal sections 14, and thus to bring the yoke 7 into the extended position of the key 1.
  • control pusher in its locking position ensures both the maintenance of the yoke 7 in the output position of the key 1 as in the retracted position of the key 1. If the notches 26 are delimited laterally by flanks parallel to the direction of sliding, it is necessary to push the control button 17 in its release position to return the key 1 from its extended position to its retracted position or vice versa.
  • the side of the notches 26 lying on the side of the retracted position ie the side against which each lug 25 abuts when attempting to return the key 1 from its extended position to its retracted position
  • the side of the notches 26 lying on the side of the retracted position ie the side against which each lug 25 abuts when attempting to return the key 1 from its extended position to its retracted position
  • the mounting of the key 1 in the housing 2 is performed by introducing the clevis 7 equipped with the key 1 in the end of the lateral recess 3 of the receptacle 5 and disposing on the one hand the hinge element 16 in the cavity 20 and the housing 10 and secondly the control button 17 in the housing 10 having interposed the spring 18 between the hinge member 16 and the control pushbutton 17.
  • the insertion of the pins 24 into the terminal sections 14 is achieved by first pivoting the control pushbutton 17 relative to the housing 2 and the yoke 7 to engage the pins 24 in the end portions 13.1 of the inlet sections 13.
  • the direction of rotation is the same as that which allows the yoke 7 to go from the extended position to the retracted position: this pivoting must be greater than 180 ° to exert torsional prestressing on the spring 18.
  • the control pusher 17 is then depressed to bring the control pusher 17 into the end portion 13.2 of the inlet section 13.
  • the spring 18 is slightly relaxed in torsion (the torsion must still be 180.degree. at its rest state) brings the pins 24 in the end sections 14 and relaxing in compression brings the control pushbutton 17 to its locking position.
  • control pusher 17 can be disassembled by performing the reverse operations.
  • each groove 12 further comprises an additional section 15 opening at one end on the outer face 9 and the other end in the end portion 14 and in the end portion 13.2 so that the portion of end 13.2 has only one flank located on the side of the outer face 8.
  • the additional section 15 has no other function than to facilitate the manufacture by molding of the yoke 7.
  • the housing 10 is made by means of two coaxial mobile cores whose ends are brought into contact.
  • One of the cores comprises tongues projecting externally to form the end portions 13.1 and the other of the cores comprises tabs projecting externally to form the end portions 13.2 and the terminal sections 14.
  • the additional sections 15 allow the passage of tabs forming the terminal sections 14 and the end portions 13.2.
  • the groove may have a V-shape, the inlet portion forming an acute angle with the blind end portion.
  • the housing 2 may have other shapes than the one shown and for example a cylindrical shape and the retracted and exit positions of the key can be angularly offset from each other by an angle other than 180 ° and for example 90 ° or 120 °.
  • the hinge member can be in one piece with the housing.
