L'orifice 13 présente par conséquent une périphérie composée d'un contour de trois quarts de cercle et d'une corde 53 joignant les extrémités de ce contour.The
La figure 4 représente un axe 9 de montage dont l'extrémité inférieure comporte une conformation 11 d'encliquetage destinée à être fixée dans la conformation 10 d'encliquetage de la paroi inférieure 7 de la base 1.FIG. 4 represents a mounting
Sur les figures 5 à 10, un mécanisme 5 d'éjection de clé comporte un corps 14, une cloche 15 d'indexation, un ressort 16 de rappel et une plaque 17 de fermeture.In FIGS. 5 to 10, a
Le corps 14 présente latéralement un logement 18 de tige de clé apte à recevoir un insert non représenté de clé, de manière connue en soi.The
La face supérieure du corps 14 présente un orifice circulaire 19 permettant le passage de la cloche 15 d'indexation.The upper face of the
L'orifice circulaire 19 est ménagé sur une partie de l'épaisseur de la face supérieure du corps 14 pour le passage de la partie cylindrique 20 de la cloche 15 d'indexation.The
L'autre partie de l'épaisseur de la face supérieure du corps 14 est munie d'un perçage 21 d'un diamètre suffisant pour permettre le passage de deux oreilles 22 et 23 de cloche 15 d'indexation.The other part of the thickness of the upper face of the

Le passage 60 présente deux alésages de diamètres prévus pour constituer un épaulement 62 de retenue et comporte une conformation 63 en relief évitant la sortie du bouton 61 lors d'une ouverture du boîtier, par exemple lors d'un changement de pile ou batterie électrique.The
A cet effet, le bouton 61 présente une nervure 64 périphérique pouvant être enfoncée par en bas à l'intérieur du passage 60 par déformation élastique, de manière à rendre le bouton 61 prisonnier entre l'épaulement 62 et le bourrelet 63. La nervure 64 périphérique (voir figure 13) crée un obstacle suffisant pour interdire toute perte accidentelle du bouton 61.For this purpose, the
Le montage du bouton 61 s'effectue de préférence par déformation élastique de la conformation 63 lors de l'enfoncement du bouton 61 dans son logement.The mounting of the
Le montage du mécanisme d'éjection de clé représenté aux figures 5 à 10 s'effectue en comprimant le ressort 16 par enfoncement de la cloche 15 d'indexation pour réduire l'épaisseur du mécanisme à celle du corps 14, de façon à pénétrer dans l'ouverture 4 de la base 1 et y faire glisser le mécanisme d'éjection de clé. Dans la position de montage, la cloche 15 ne dépasse pas de la surface 34 de la pièce 14, en maintenant le ressort 16 sous contrainte de compression.The assembly of the key ejection mechanism shown in FIGS. 5 to 10 is carried out by compressing the
Le relâchement de la cloche 15 d'indexation permet ensuite la détente du ressort 16 et la pénétration de la cloche 15 d'indexation dans l'orifice 13 représenté aux figures 1 et 3, le plan 52 d'indexation venant coopérer en s'alignant avec la corde 53 du trou 13 de la paroi supérieure 12 de la base 1.The release of the
Après la remontée de la cloche 15 d'indexation à travers l'orifice 13, on monte l'axe 9 à travers le trou supérieur 54 de la cloche 15 d'indexation, en passant à l'intérieur du ressort 16, à travers l'orifice 56 de la plaque 17 de fermeture, pour se fixer dans le trou borgne 8 de la base 1 grâce à l'encliquetage des conformations 11 et 10 de l'axe 9 et de l'orifice 8, respectivement.After the raising of the
Lorsque la tige de clé est montée dans le logement 18 de tige de clé, il est nécessaire d'armer le mécanisme d'éjection de clé en mettant le ressort 16 sous contrainte de torsion.When the key shank is mounted in the
A cet effet, on agit sur la face 33 supérieure de la cloche 15 d'indexation pour enfoncer la cloche 15 d'indexation jusqu'à ce que le plan 52 d'indexation soit libéré de la corde 53 d'indexation de la base.For this purpose, it acts on the
On tourne alors la cloche 15 d'indexation dans le sens correspondant à un armement du ressort 16, en effectuant un ou plusieurs tours autour de l'axe 9 de pivot, avant de laisser remonter la cloche 15 en position d'indexation et de mise en contrainte de torsion du ressort 16.The
On exerce cette rotation pour armer le ressort 16 en se servant de préférence de l'encoche 38a ou 38b (voir figure 2).This rotation is used to arm the
La figure 14 représente le dispositif selon l'invention, assemblé.Figure 14 shows the device according to the invention, assembled.
De manière avantageuse, l'extrémité supérieure de l'axe 9 s'engage à coulissement dans un alésage 65 du bouton 61 de commande, pour assurer un guidage et un alignement rectilignes du dispositif selon l'invention.Advantageously, the upper end of the
Grâce à l'invention, le mécanisme d'éjection de clé constitue après assemblage un ensemble indépendant, qui contient tous les efforts mécaniques et toutes les contraintes de torsion engendrés par le ressort de rappel 16, de manière à ne transmettre aucun effort tendant à provoquer un écartement de la base 1 et du couvercle 57, de manière également à éviter tout risque de fluage sous contrainte permanente de la matière plastique du boîtier 1 ou du couvercle 57.Thanks to the invention, the key ejection mechanism constitutes after assembly an independent assembly, which contains all the mechanical forces and torsional stresses generated by the
Le montage du mécanisme d'éjection par un axe 9 traversant entièrement le mécanisme ne transmet pas d'effort de torsion aux extrémités de l'axe 9 lors du fonctionnement ou de l'éjection de la clé.Mounting the ejection mechanism by an
Le maintien de la clé en position ouverte s'effectue sans engendrer de bruit parasite, du fait que les efforts de torsion sont contenus à l'intérieur de la cloche 15 indépendante de la base 1 et du couvercle 57.Holding the key in the open position is effected without causing spurious noise, because the torsional forces are contained inside the
L'indépendance du bouton 61 de manoeuvre, qui ne subit aucun effort lors de l'éjection de la clé, évite tout freinage de la clé pouvant résulter de l'action ou du frottement du doigt du conducteur lors de la commande d'ouverture.The independence of the
Enfin, grâce à l'invention, le démontage du mécanisme d'éjection de clé s'effectue de manière simple et rapide sans risque d'endommager la base 1, le couvercle 57 ou les autres éléments constitutifs du dispositif selon l'invention : ce démontage s'effectue en effet de manière simple en désarmant tout d'abord le ressort 16 par enfoncement et rotation inverse de la cloche 15, puis en extrayant l'axe 9 de montage, puis en comprimant la cloche 15 à l'intérieur du corps 14 pour extraire le mécanisme à travers l'ouverture 4 de la base 1.Finally, thanks to the invention, the disassembly of the key ejection mechanism is carried out simply and quickly without risk of damaging the
