Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a key-holder with a retractable key, in particular for a vehicle lock.
  • Key-holders are known (for example WO 01/48339 A1 ) which comprise a supporting body; and a flat key hinged to the supporting body to rotate between an extracted position for insertion inside the lock, and a withdrawn position housed inside a lateral recess in the supporting body.
  • the key is retained in the withdrawn position by a retaining device, which is released by manually pressing a release button located on a wall of the supporting body, coaxially with the hinge axis of the key, and adjacent to an edge of the lateral recess housing the key in the withdrawn position.
  • the key is pushed automatically by an elastic device into the extracted position when the key release button is pressed; and the key is returned to the withdrawn position by simply rotating it manually, in opposition to the elastic device, until it engages the retaining device.
  • the supporting body normally also houses in fluidtight manner a remote control operated by a further button to activate/deactivate an antitheft device on the vehicle.
  • the release button can only accommodate a relatively small trademark or logo, and, being located close to an edge of the supporting body, conditions the design of the key-holder as a whole.
  • a trademark or logo on the release button rotates together with the key about the hinge axis when the key rotates from the withdrawn position to the extracted position or vice versa.
  • a key-holder comprising:
  • Number 1 in Figure 1 indicates a key-holder comprising a retractable key 2, in particular for a vehicle lock (not shown).
  • Key-holder 1 comprises a supporting body 3 elongated in a straight direction 5 and defining a lateral recess 4, which is outwardly open and communicates with an outwardly open front cavity 6 of body 3.
  • body 3 defines an inner chamber 7 housing a remote control (not shown), and comprises two half-shells 8, 9 fixed to each other in conventional manner not shown, e.g. by click-on fasteners and/or one or more screws screwed into respective threaded seats 11 ( Figure 3 ).
  • Half-shells 8, 9 comprise respective walls 12, 13 facing each other and spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to walls 12, 13. And half-shell 9 comprises an annular wall 15, which projects in one piece from wall 13, defines chamber 7 laterally, is fitted in fluidtight manner along one edge to half-shell 8, and comprises a front portion 16 outwardly defining cavity 6.
  • Half-shell 9 also comprises two pins 17, 18, which project in one piece from wall 13, inside cavity 6, along respective parallel axes 19, 20 spaced apart and perpendicular to direction 5, and are aligned axially with a pin 21 and an opening 22, respectively, forming part of half-shell 8.
  • Pins 17 and 21 define a hinge to allow key 2 to rotate, about axis 19 and by a predetermined angle, in particular of 180°, between an extracted position and a withdrawn position (not shown).
  • Key 2 comprise a flat shaped stem, which lies substantially in a plane parallel to axis 19; and a base or drum 24, integrally connected to an end 23 of the stem.
  • the stem of key 2 projects in direction 5 with respect to the body 3 for insertion inside a lock; in the withdrawn position, the stem of key 2 is located alongside body 3 and housed inside recess 4.
  • Drum 24 at least partly engages cavity 6 and has an axial through hole 25 to fit in rotary and axially fixed manner onto pins 17, 21.
  • Drum 24 is bounded by two substantially flat surfaces 26, 27 resting on walls 12, 13 respectively, and by a curved convex lateral surface 28 facing portion 16. More specifically, an elastic device (not shown) is interposed between drum 24 (or the stem) and body 3, and is preloaded to push key 2 into the extracted position.
  • Key-holder 1 also comprises an angular retaining device 30 for retaining key 2 in the withdrawn position in opposition to said elastic device; and a release button 31, which extends along axis 20, and, when pressed manually, is movable axially with respect to body 3 from a raised rest position to a lowered release position to release device 30 and allow key 2 to be rotated automatically into the extracted position by the elastic device.
  • device 30 is at least partly carried by button 31, and provides for retaining key 2 even when key 2 is in the extracted position. Key 2 is therefore restored to the withdrawn position by pressing button 31 to release key 2; pushing the stem of key 2, in opposition to the reaction of the elastic device, into the withdrawn position, while keeping button 31 pressed; and, finally, releasing button 31 to re-engage device 30.
  • Button 31 comprises a disk-shaped head 32 defining a circular outer surface 33; and a rod 34, which extends along axis 20 from head 32, on the opposite side to surface 33, and through opening 22.
  • rod 34 terminates with an axially hollow portion 35, which is engaged and guided by pin 18, is located alongside drum 24, between surface 28 and portion 16, and houses a spring (not shown) interposed axially between head 32 and pin 18 to push button 31 into the raised position.
  • Rod 34 is maintained in a fixed angular position with respect to body 3 by a lock device 37 comprising two flat faces 38, 39 resting on each other : face 38 radially defines one side of rod 34, and face 39 defines an appendix 40 forming part of half-shell 9.
  • Device 30 comprises two diametrically-opposite slots 43, 44 on drum 24; and a tooth 42 carried by button 31 and located alongside portion 35 in a radial direction 45.
  • tooth 42 When button 31 is raised, tooth 42 selectively engages slots 43, 44 to retain key 2 in the extracted and withdrawn position respectively.
  • tooth 42 extends in one piece directly from portion 35, and slots 43, 44 are formed along an edge 46 joining surfaces 27, 28.
  • tooth 42 extends parallel to axis 20 towards head 32 from a radial arm 48, which in turn extends in one piece from portion 35, projects axially with respect to portion 35, and axially faces edge 46; and slots 43, 44 are formed in surface 27 and radially inwards of edge 46.
  • recess 47 comprises a through opening 49 to permit downward movement of arm 48.
  • opening 22 is defined by a slot, which is bounded by a lateral wall 22a forming part of half-shell 8 and extending in one piece crosswise to wall 12.
  • slot 22 is shaped and large enough to permit axial insertion, during assembly, of portion 35, tooth 42, and another diametrically-opposite tooth 52 carried by rod 34. More specifically, in direction 50, slot 22 comprises two portions 51, diametrically opposite with respect to rod 34, to permit insertion of respective teeth 42, 52 during assembly.
  • tooth 52 rests tangentially against a shoulder 22b defined by wall 22a, and rests axially against a shoulder 22c also defined by wall 22a. Engagement of shoulder 22c by tooth 52 defines the fully raised position of button 31.
  • Portions 51 are engaged respectively by the ends of appendix 40 and a diametrically-opposite appendix 53.
  • Appendixes 40, 53 extend in one piece from wall 13, and are positioned alongside rod 34 and aligned with head 32.
  • Wall 22a is aligned with teeth 42, 52 in a direction parallel to axis 20 to prevent withdrawal of button 31 during assembly. More specifically, key-holder 1 is assembled by:
  • button 31 may be inserted first inside opening 22, and drum 24 then inserted between tooth 42 and wall 12.
  • button 31 is far enough away from the edges of body 3 to form a relatively large surface 33 on which to apply or stamp a trademark or logo.
  • key-holder 1 is therefore much more aesthetically pleasing than known solutions in which the release button is coaxial with the hinge axis of the key.
  • buttons 31 being angularly fixed with respect to body 3, so that the trademark or logo on surface 33 is always oriented the same way.
  • slots 43, 44 are concealed at all times by wall 13.
  • button 31 can be located as required, and may be customized, by being angularly fixed and independent of the shape of drum 24.
  • button 31 need not necessarily be circular in shape to permit rotation.
  • Key-holder 1 comprises relatively few component parts, and is relatively easy to assemble, mainly on account of tooth 42, for angularly locking drum 24, being carried by button 31, and by virtue of the design of opening 22 and rod 34.
  • key-holder 1 is also relatively compact and easy to use.
  • device 30 may only lock key 2 angularly in the withdrawn position, and/or may be separate from button 31.
  • head 32 and surface 33 need not necessarily be circular, as shown.
