Abstract

The control (10) has an elastic body receiving a knob (4) with respect to a wall (13) in a rotational direction, where the wall includes an orifice (1) that has two notches. The knob has two projecting elements and is movable between two positions. One element cooperates with one notch to limit pivoting of the knob in two different directions at front and rear stop angles, and another element cooperates with another notch to limit the pivoting of the knob in the directions at other front and rear stop angles, in one position, where one rear stop angle is more than another rear angle.

Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif selon le préambule de la revendication 1, et en particulier à un dispositif à clé escamotable.The present invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1, and in particular to a retractable key device.

On connaît des dispositifs à clé escamotable comprenant un boîtier dans lequel est inséré un mécanisme d'éjection de clé permettant à un insert de clé de pivoter entre une position escamotée et une position sortie. Dans un dispositif de ce type connu, le mécanisme d'éjection comprend un pivot auquel est fixé l'insert de clé, et un bouton solidaire en rotation du pivot. Le bouton est mobile entre une position relâchée dans laquelle deux tenons du bouton coopèrent avec deux encoches du boîtier pour empêcher une rotation du bouton et ainsi maintenir le pivot en position, et une position enfoncée dans laquelle les tenons sont hors des encoches et une rotation du bouton, et donc du pivot, est autorisée.Retractable key devices are known comprising a housing in which is inserted a key ejection mechanism allowing a key insert to pivot between a retracted position and an extended position. In a device of this known type, the ejection mechanism comprises a pivot to which is fixed the key insert, and a button integral in rotation with the pivot. The button is movable between a relaxed position in which two studs of the button cooperate with two notches of the housing to prevent rotation of the button and thus maintain the pivot in position, and a depressed position in which the tenons are out of the notches and a rotation of the button, and therefore the pivot, is allowed.

Ainsi, pour faire passer l'insert de clé de sa position sortie à sa position escamotée, il est nécessaire d'appuyer sur le bouton pour qu'il prenne sa position enfoncée. En d'autres termes, ce dispositif présente une fonction point dur : si l'utilisateur tente de faire passer l'insert de clé de sa position sortie à sa position escamotée sans appuyer sur le bouton, il rencontre une résistance mécanique due à la coopération des encoches et des tenons.Thus, to move the key insert from its extended position to its retracted position, it is necessary to press the button to take its depressed position. In other words, this device has a hard point function: if the user tries to pass the key insert from its extended position to its retracted position without pressing the button, it encounters a mechanical resistance due to cooperation notches and tenons.

Les deux tenons et les deux encoches sont symétriques. Ainsi, le dispositif connu présente comme inconvénient le fait que si l'utilisateur tente de faire passer l'insert de clé de sa position sortie à sa position escamotée sans appuyer sur le bouton, il existe un risque de forçage du point dur : si la force exercée par l'utilisateur est suffisante, les tenons et/ou les encoches sont détériorés, et leur coopération ne permet plus de maintenir le bouton en position.The two tenons and the two notches are symmetrical. Thus, the known device has the disadvantage that if the user tries to move the key insert from its extended position to its retracted position without pressing the button, there is a risk of forcing the hard point: if the force exerted by the user is sufficient, the tenons and / or the notches are deteriorated, and their cooperation no longer allows to maintain the button in position.

La présente invention vise à fournir un dispositif qui ne présente pas au moins certains des inconvénients précités de l'art antérieur.The present invention aims to provide a device that does not present at least some of the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art.

Pour cela, l'invention fournit un dispositif comprenant une paroi, un bouton agencé au moins partiellement dans un orifice de ladite paroi, et un organe élastique agencé de manière à solliciter ledit bouton en rotation par rapport à ladite paroi dans un premier sens de rotation, ledit orifice présentant une forme globalement circulaire et présentant au moins une première encoche et une deuxième encoche, ledit bouton présentant une section de forme globalement circulaire et présentant au moins un premier élément saillant et un deuxième élément saillant, ledit bouton étant mobile entre d'une part une première position dans laquelle ledit premier élément saillant est apte à coopérer avec ladite première encoche pour limiter le pivotement dudit bouton dans ledit premier sens à un premier angle de butée avant et dans un deuxième sens opposé audit premier sens à un premier angle de butée arrière, et dans laquelle ledit deuxième élément saillant est apte à coopérer avec ladite deuxième encoche pour limiter le pivotement dudit bouton dans ledit premier sens à un deuxième angle de butée avant et dans ledit deuxième sens à un deuxième angle de butée arrière, et d'autre part une deuxième position dans laquelle lesdits éléments saillants sont hors desdites encoches de sorte que ledit bouton est apte à pivoter par rapport à ladite paroi, caractérisé par le fait que ledit premier angle de butée arrière, mesuré dans ledit deuxième sens, est supérieur audit deuxième angle de butée arrière.For this, the invention provides a device comprising a wall, a button arranged at least partially in an orifice of said wall, and an elastic member arranged to urge said knob in rotation with respect to said wall in a first direction of rotation. , said orifice having a generally circular shape and presenting minus a first notch and a second notch, said knob having a generally circular cross section and having at least a first protruding element and a second protruding element, said knob being movable between on the one hand a first position in which said first protruding element is capable of cooperating with said first notch to limit the pivoting of said knob in said first direction to a first stop angle before and in a second direction opposite to said first direction at a first rear stop angle, and wherein said second salient member is adapted to cooperate with said second notch to limit the pivoting of said knob in said first direction to a second stop angle before and in said second direction at a second rear stop angle, and secondly a second position in which said projecting elements are out of said notches so that said button is adapted to piv remove relative to said wall, characterized in that said first rear thrust angle, measured in said second direction, is greater than said second rear thrust angle.

Grâce à ces caractéristiques, quand le bouton est dans sa première position et que l'utilisateur ne sollicite pas le bouton en rotation, l'organe élastique fait pivoter le bouton dans le premier sens jusqu'au premier ou deuxième angle de butée avant, en fonction des valeurs respective de ceux-ci, ce qui a pour effet de maintenir le bouton en position. Si l'utilisateur fait pivoter le bouton dans le deuxième sens, la rotation du bouton est limitée au niveau du deuxième angle de butée arrière, autrement dit le dispositif présente une fonction point dur. Si l'utilisateur fait pivoter le bouton dans le deuxième sens au-delà du deuxième angle de butée arrière sans le faire passer dans sa deuxième position, autrement dit en cas de forçage du point dur, le deuxième élément saillant et/ou la deuxième encoche sont détériorés. Toutefois, tant que l'utilisateur ne fait pas pivoter le bouton dans le deuxième sens au-delà du premier angle de butée arrière, la première encoche et le premier élément saillant ne sont pas forcés et donc ne sont pas détériorés. Ainsi, même si la deuxième encoche et/ou le deuxième élément saillant sont détériorés et que la fonction point dur n'est plus assurée, la première encoche et le premier élément saillant permettent de limiter le pivotement du bouton dans le premier sens au niveau du premier angle de butée avant, et donc de continuer à assurer la fonction de maintien en position.Thanks to these characteristics, when the button is in its first position and the user does not request the rotating button, the elastic member rotates the button in the first direction to the first or second front stop angle, in according to the respective values of these, which has the effect of keeping the button in position. If the user rotates the button in the second direction, the rotation of the button is limited at the second backstop angle, ie the device has a hard point function. If the user rotates the button in the second direction beyond the second backstop angle without passing it to its second position, that is, in case of forcing the hard point, the second projecting element and / or the second notch are damaged. However, as long as the user does not rotate the button in the second direction beyond the first backstop angle, the first notch and the first projecting element are not forced and therefore are not deteriorated. Thus, even if the second notch and / or the second salient element are deteriorated and the hard point function is no longer ensured, the first notch and the first salient element limit the pivoting of the knob in the first direction at the first angle stop, and therefore continue to provide the function of maintaining position.

De préférence, ledit orifice présente au moins deux premières encoches diamétralement opposées et symétriques, et au moins deux deuxièmes encoches diamétralement opposées et symétriques, ledit bouton comprenant deux premiers éléments saillants diamétralement opposés et symétriques, et deux deuxièmes éléments saillants diamétralement opposés et symétriques.Preferably, said orifice has at least two diametrically opposed and symmetrical first notches, and at least two diametrically opposed and symmetrical second notches, said knob comprising two diametrically opposed and symmetrical first projecting elements, and two diametrically opposed and symmetrical second projecting elements.

Ainsi, le bouton, dans sa première position, peut être orienté selon deux orientations différentes, à 180° l'une de l'autre.Thus, the button, in its first position, can be oriented in two different orientations, 180 ° from each other.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, lesdits premier et deuxième éléments saillants délimitent des angles sensiblement égaux, ladite première encoche délimitant un premier angle d'encoche, ladite deuxième encoche délimitant un deuxième angle d'encoche inférieur audit premier angle d'encoche. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, lesdites première et deuxième encoches délimitent des angles sensiblement égaux, ledit premier élément saillant délimitant un premier angle d'élément saillant, ledit deuxième élément saillant délimitant un deuxième angle d'élément saillant supérieur audit premier angle d'élément saillant.According to a particular embodiment, said first and second projecting elements delimit substantially equal angles, said first notch delimiting a first notch angle, said second notch delimiting a second notch angle less than said first notch angle. In another embodiment, said first and second notches delimit substantially equal angles, said first projecting element delimiting a first projecting element angle, said second projecting element delimiting a second projecting element angle greater than said first component angle projecting.

Avantageusement, ledit bouton présente une surface de butée agencée entre ledit premier élément saillant et ledit deuxième élément saillant, ladite surface de butée étant apte à coopérer avec une surface de butée de ladite paroi adjacente audit orifice de manière à limiter un déplacement axial dudit bouton par rapport à ladite paroi.Advantageously, said button has an abutment surface arranged between said first projecting element and said second projecting element, said abutment surface being able to cooperate with an abutment surface of said wall adjacent said orifice so as to limit an axial displacement of said button by relative to said wall.

De préférence, ledit bouton est un corps moulé monobloc.Preferably, said button is a one-piece molded body.

Avantageusement, le dispositif comprend un pivot destiné à porter un insert de clé, ledit pivot étant solidaire en rotation dudit bouton.Advantageously, the device comprises a pivot intended to carry a key insert, said pivot being integral in rotation with said button.

De préférence, le dispositif comprend un boîtier incluant ladite paroi, et des moyens de commande agencés dans ledit boîtier et aptes à communiquer à distance avec des moyens de commandes embarqués sur un véhicule.Preferably, the device comprises a housing including said wall, and control means arranged in said housing and able to communicate remotely with onboard control means on a vehicle.

L'invention sera mieux comprise, et d'autres buts, détails, caractéristiques et avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront plus clairement au cours de la description suivante d'un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, donné uniquement à titre illustratif et non limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés. Sur ces dessins :

  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective du bouton du dispositif de la figure 1, et
  • la figure 3 est une vue en coupe du bouton et de la paroi du dispositif de la figure 1.
The invention will be better understood, and other objects, details, features and advantages thereof will become more apparent in the following description of a particular embodiment of the invention. the invention, given solely for illustrative and non-limiting, with reference to the accompanying drawings. On these drawings:
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a device according to one embodiment of the invention, the upper half-shell of which has been removed,
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the button of the device of FIG. 1, and
  • Figure 3 is a sectional view of the button and the wall of the device of Figure 1.

Le dispositif 10 représenté sur la figure 1 est une télécommande à clé escamotable pour véhicule automobile. Le dispositif 10 comprend un boîtier composé d'une demi-coquille inférieure 11 et d'une demi-coquille supérieure (non représentée). Des moyens de commandes (non représentés) comprenant notamment un circuit électronique et une antenne sont agencés dans le boîtier et permettent d'assurer une fonction de verrouillage/déverrouillage à distance des ouvrants du véhicule, en communiquant avec des moyens de commande correspondant embarqués sur le véhicule.The device 10 shown in FIG. 1 is a remote control with a retractable key for a motor vehicle. The device 10 comprises a housing composed of a lower half-shell 11 and an upper half-shell (not shown). Control means (not shown) including in particular an electronic circuit and an antenna are arranged in the housing and provide a remote locking / unlocking function of the opening of the vehicle, by communicating with corresponding control means on board the vehicle.

La demi-coquille inférieure 11 présente une paroi 13 dans laquelle est ménagé un orifice 1. Le dispositif 10 comprend un mécanisme d'éjection de clé comprenant notamment un pivot 12 adjacent à la paroi 13 et un bouton 4 agencé partiellement dans l'orifice 1. Un insert de clé (non représenté) est fixé au pivot 12 qui peut pivoter par rapport au boîtier autour d'un axe A (voir figure 3) entre une position dans laquelle l'insert de clé est escamoté dans un logement du boîtier, et une position dans laquelle l'insert de clé est sorti. L'angle de pivotement entre ces deux positions est de 180°. Un ressort (non représenté) sollicite le pivot 12 dans sa position dans laquelle l'insert de clé est sorti.The lower half-shell 11 has a wall 13 in which an orifice 1 is formed. The device 10 comprises a key ejection mechanism including in particular a pivot 12 adjacent to the wall 13 and a button 4 partially arranged in the orifice 1 A key insert (not shown) is attached to the pivot 12 which is pivotable relative to the housing about an axis A (see Figure 3) between a position in which the key insert is retracted into a housing housing, and a position in which the key insert is pulled out. The pivot angle between these two positions is 180 °. A spring (not shown) urges the pivot 12 into its position in which the key insert is pulled out.

L'orifice 1 est de forme globalement circulaire et présente deux encoches de maintien en position 2, diamétralement opposées et symétriques, et deux encoches de point dur 3, également diamétralement opposées et symétriques.The orifice 1 is of generally circular shape and has two retaining notches in position 2, diametrically opposed and symmetrical, and two hard point notches 3, also diametrically opposed and symmetrical.

Le bouton 4 est solidaire en rotation du pivot 12 et est mobile axialement entre une position relâchée représentée sur la figure 1 et une position actionnée. Le ressort sollicite le bouton dans sa position relâchée. Au niveau d'une section du bouton 4 qui est agencée dans l'orifice 1 quand le bouton 4 est dans sa position relâchée, le bouton présente une forme globalement circulaire et présente deux tenons 8 diamétralement opposés et symétriques. Chaque tenon 8 présente un élément saillant de maintien en position 5 et un élément saillant de point dur 6 distant de l'élément saillant de maintien en position 5. Entre les éléments saillants 5 et 6, le tenon 8 présente une surface de butée 9 tournée du côté opposé au pivot 12.The button 4 is integral in rotation with the pivot 12 and is movable axially between a relaxed position shown in Figure 1 and an actuated position. The spring urges the button to its released position. At a section of the button 4 which is arranged in the orifice 1 when the button 4 is in its relaxed position, the button has a generally circular shape and has two pins 8 diametrically opposed and symmetrical. Each post 8 has a protruding element for holding in position 5 and a hard point projecting element 6 remote from the protruding element for holding in position 5. Between the projecting elements 5 and 6, the post 8 has an abutment surface 9 turned on the side opposite the pivot 12.

En raison de la symétrie de l'orifice 1 et du bouton 4, ils seront décrits ci-dessous en faisant parfois références uniquement aux caractéristiques d'un tenon 8 particulier ou d'une encoche 2 ou 3 particulière, les autres tenon et encoches étant symétriques.Because of the symmetry of the orifice 1 and the button 4, they will be described below sometimes referring only to the characteristics of a particular post 8 or a particular notch 2 or 3, the other tenons and notches being symmetrical.

Quand le bouton 4 est dans sa position relâchée, la surface de butée 9 est en butée avec une surface de butée de la paroi 13, non visible sur les figures, de manière à limiter le déplacement axial du bouton 4. Dans cette position, les éléments saillants de maintien en position 5 se trouvent dans les encoches de maintien en position 2, et les éléments saillants de point dur 6 se trouvent dans les encoches de point dur 3. Le ressort sollicite le bouton 4 et le pivot 12 en rotation dans le sens représenté par la flèche 7.When the button 4 is in its relaxed position, the abutment surface 9 is in abutment with a stop surface of the wall 13, not visible in the figures, so as to limit the axial displacement of the button 4. In this position, the protruding elements for holding in position 5 are in the retention slots in position 2, and the hard point protruding elements 6 are in the hard point notches 3. The spring urges the button 4 and the pivot 12 in rotation in the meaning represented by the arrow 7.

La figure 3 représente le bouton 4 dans sa position relâchée, quand l'utilisateur n'exerce aucune force sur le bouton 4, que ce soit directement ou par l'intermédiaire du pivot 12 et/ou de l'insert de clé.Figure 3 shows the button 4 in its relaxed position, when the user exerts no force on the button 4, either directly or through the pivot 12 and / or the key insert.

Dans cette situation, le ressort sollicite la face avant 15 de l'élément saillant 5 en butée contre la face avant 17 de l'encoche 2, ce qui a pour effet de maintenir le bouton 4 en position. La face arrière 16 de l'élément saillant 5 n'est pas en contact avec une face arrière 18 de l'encoche 2. On remarque que les termes « avant » et « arrière » sont définis par le sens indiqué par la flèche 7.In this situation, the spring biases the front face 15 of the projecting element 5 in abutment against the front face 17 of the notch 2, which has the effect of keeping the button 4 in position. The rear face 16 of the projecting element 5 is not in contact with a rear face 18 of the notch 2. Note that the terms "front" and "rear" are defined by the direction indicated by the arrow 7.

Si on choisit un rayon de référence D, fixe par rapport à la paroi 13, et un rayon de bouton E, fixe par rapport au bouton 4, la position relative du bouton 4 peut être indiquée par l'angle α entre le rayon D et le rayon E. On a choisi les rayons D et E de manière que l'angle α soit nul dans la situation représentée sur la figure 3. Le rayon E occupe l'orientation E1, et l'angle α est dans ce cas appelé premier angle de butée avant α1.If we choose a reference radius D, fixed with respect to the wall 13, and a button radius E, fixed relative to the button 4, the relative position of the button 4 can be indicated by the angle α between the radius D and the ray E. The radii D and E have been chosen so that the angle α is zero in the situation shown in FIG. 3. The radius E occupies the orientation E 1 , and the angle α is in this case called first front stop angle α 1 .

Dans la situation représentée sur la figure 3, la face avant 19 de l'élément saillant 6 n'est pas butée contre la face avant 21 de l'encoche 3, mais pourrait l'être dans une variante de réalisation. La face arrière 20 de l'élément saillant 6 n'est pas en contact avec la face arrière 22 de l'encoche 3. La distance entre la face arrière 20 de l'élément saillant de point dur 6 et la paroi arrière 22 de l'encoche de point dur 3 est inférieure à la distance entre la face arrière 16 de l'élément saillant de maintien en position 5 et la paroi arrière 18 de l'encoche de maintien en position 2.In the situation shown in Figure 3, the front face 19 of the projecting element 6 is not abutted against the front face 21 of the notch 3, but could be in a variant embodiment. The rear face 20 of the projecting element 6 is not in contact with the rear face 22 of the notch 3. The distance between the rear face 20 of the hard point protruding element 6 and the rear wall 22 of the hard point notch 3 is less than the distance between the rear face 16 of the projecting protruding element in position 5 and the rear wall 18 of the holding notch in position 2.

Ainsi, si l'utilisateur fait tourner le bouton 4 dans le sens opposé à la flèche 7, la face arrière 20 de l'élément saillant de point dur 6 arrive en butée contre la paroi arrière 22 de l'encoche de point dur 3, alors que la face arrière 16 de l'élément saillant de maintien en position 5 n'est pas en butée contre la paroi arrière 18 de l'encoche de maintien en position 2. L'utilisateur rencontre le point dur : une résistance mécanique l'empêche de faire pivoter l'insert de clé sans appuyer sur le bouton 4. Dans ce cas, le rayon E occupe l'orientation E2, et l'angle α est appelé deuxième angle de butée arrière α2. L'angle α2 est de préférence proche de zéro et par exemple dû uniquement aux tolérances de fabrication.Thus, if the user rotates the button 4 in the direction opposite to the arrow 7, the rear face 20 of the hard point protruding element 6 comes into abutment against the rear wall 22 of the hard point notch 3, while the rear face 16 of the protruding element for holding in position 5 is not in abutment against the rear wall 18 of the retaining notch in position 2. The user encounters the hard point: a mechanical resistance the prevents rotation of the key insert without pressing the button 4. In this case, the radius E occupies the orientation E 2 , and the angle α is called second backstop angle α 2 . The angle α 2 is preferably close to zero and for example due solely to manufacturing tolerances.

Si l'utilisateur continue à faire tourner le bouton 4 dans le sens opposé à la flèche 7, c'est-à-dire si l'utilisateur force le point dur, les éléments saillants de point dur 6 et/ou les encoches de point dur 3 sont détériorés. Toutefois, le bouton 4 peut pivoter jusqu'à ce que la face arrière 16 de l'élément saillant de maintien en position 5 arrive en butée contre la paroi arrière 18 de l'encoche de maintien en position 2, sans que les éléments saillant de maintien en position 5 et les encoches de maintien en position soient détériorés. Dans ce cas, le rayon E occupe l'orientation E3, et l'angle α est appelé premier angle de butée arrière α3. L'angle α3, mesuré dans le sens opposé à la flèche 7, est supérieur à l'angle α2. Ainsi, malgré le forçage du point dur, la fonction de maintien en position du dispositif 10 est toujours assurée.If the user continues to turn the knob 4 in the opposite direction to the arrow 7, that is to say if the user forces the hard point, the hard point protruding elements 6 and / or the notches of point hard 3 are deteriorated. However, the button 4 can pivot until the rear face 16 of the protruding element holding position 5 abuts against the rear wall 18 of the holding notch in position 2, without the protruding elements of hold in position 5 and the notches in position are deteriorated. In this case, the radius E occupies the orientation E 3 , and the angle α is called the first backstop angle α 3 . The angle α 3 , measured in the direction opposite to the arrow 7, is greater than the angle α 2 . Thus, despite the forcing of the hard point, the position keeping function of the device 10 is always ensured.

Dans un mode de réalisation alternatif non représenté, quand le bouton 4 est dans sa position relâchée et l'utilisateur n'exerce aucune force sur le bouton 4, le ressort sollicite la face avant 19 de l'élément saillant 6 en butée contre la face avant 21 de l'encoche 3. La face avant 15 de l'élément saillant 5 n'est pas en butée contre la face avant 17 de l'encoche 2. C'est donc la coopération entre la face avant 19 de l'élément saillant 6 et la face avant 21 de l'encoche 3 qui a pour effet de maintenir le bouton 4 en position. Dans ce cas, le rayon E occupe l'orientation E4 (non représenté), et l'angle α est appelé deuxième angle de butée avant α4 (non représenté). En cas de forçage du point dur et de détérioration de l'élément saillant 6 et/ou de l'encoche 3, ce sera la coopération entre la face avant 15 de l'élément saillant 5 et la face avant 17 de l'encoche 2 qui aura pour effet de maintenir le bouton 4 en position, comme dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur la figure 3.In an alternative embodiment not shown, when the button 4 is in its released position and the user exerts no force on the button 4, the spring biases the front face 19 of the projecting element 6 abuts against the face before 21 of the notch 3. The front face 15 of the projecting element 5 is not in abutment against the face before 17 of the notch 2. It is therefore the cooperation between the front 19 of the projecting element 6 and the front face 21 of the notch 3 which has the effect of maintaining the button 4 in position. In this case, the radius E occupies the orientation E 4 (not shown), and the angle α is called the second forward thrust angle α 4 (not shown). In case of hard point forcing and deterioration of the projecting element 6 and / or notch 3, it will be the cooperation between the front face 15 of the projecting element 5 and the front face 17 of the notch 2 which will have the effect of keeping the button 4 in position, as in the embodiment shown in FIG.

L'homme du métier constatera que les caractéristiques décrites ci-dessus peuvent être obtenues en prévoyant soit des encoches de maintien en position et des encoches de point dur de mêmes dimensions et des éléments saillants de maintien en position et des éléments saillants de point dur de dimensions différentes, soit des encoches de maintien en position et des encoches de point dur de dimensions différentes et des éléments saillants de maintien en position et des éléments saillants de point dur de mêmes dimensions, soit encore des encoches de maintien en position et des encoches de point dur de dimensions différentes et des éléments saillants de maintien en position et des éléments saillants de point dur de dimensions différentes.Those skilled in the art will recognize that the features described above can be achieved by providing either positional retention notches and hard point notches of the same size and positional protruding members and hard point projecting members. different dimensions, that is to say notches for holding in position and hard point notches of different dimensions and protruding elements for holding in position and hard point protruding elements of the same dimensions, or still notches for holding in position and notches for hard point of different dimensions and protruding elements for holding in position and hard point protruding elements of different dimensions.

Quand le bouton 4 est dans sa position actionnée, les éléments saillants 5 et 6 sont hors des encoches 2 et 3 et le bouton 4 peut tourner.When the button 4 is in its actuated position, the projecting elements 5 and 6 are out of the notches 2 and 3 and the button 4 can rotate.

Le dispositif 10 décrit est une télécommande à clé escamotable, toutefois l'invention peut concerner d'autres types de dispositifs.The device 10 described is a retractable key remote control, however the invention may relate to other types of devices.

Bien que l'invention ait été décrite en liaison avec un mode de réalisation particulier, il est bien évident qu'elle n'y est nullement limitée et qu'elle comprend tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits ainsi que leurs combinaisons si celles-ci entrent dans le cadre de l'invention.Although the invention has been described in connection with a particular embodiment, it is obvious that it is not limited thereto and that it comprises all the technical equivalents of the means described and their combinations if they are within the scope of the invention.
