Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif de positionnement et de maintien d'une clef de secours. Un tel dispositif est connu du document US 4951489 .The invention relates to a device for positioning and maintaining a backup key. Such a device is known from the document US 4951489 .

Elle s'applique notamment mais non exclusivement au positionnement et au maintien d'une clef de secours dans un système de démarrage d'un véhicule, étant entendu que pour ce type d'application le container doit permettre d'assurer une mise en place et une extraction aisées et ergonomiques de la clef dans son logement à l'intérieur du container. En outre il est nécessaire de garantir une bonne sûreté de la fermeture du container.It applies in particular but not exclusively to the positioning and maintenance of a backup key in a starting system of a vehicle, it being understood that for this type of application the container must make it possible to ensure the installation and an easy and ergonomic extraction of the key in its housing inside the container. In addition it is necessary to ensure a good safety of the closure of the container.

On a déjà proposé de nombreuses solutions pour dissimuler une clef de secours à l'intérieur d'une voiture. Ainsi, il existe notamment des boîtes aimantées ayant un couvercle que l'on peut placer par exemple à l'intérieur du carénage de roue. Ce type de boîte est très utilisé aux Etats-Unis d'Amérique. Toutefois ces boites ne permettent pas un fonctionnement aisé et ergonomique simplifiant la tache de l'opérateur. D'autre part elles sont très difficiles à intégrer dans un habitacle de véhicule.Many solutions have already been proposed for concealing an emergency key inside a car. Thus, there are in particular magnetic boxes having a cover that can be placed for example inside the wheel fairing. This type of box is widely used in the United States of America. However, these boxes do not allow easy and ergonomic operation simplifying the task of the operator. On the other hand they are very difficult to integrate into a vehicle interior.

Il existe également des supports monoblocs permettant de tenir la clef de secours dans une cavité prévue à cet effet. Cette solution ne permet pas de protéger la clef suffisamment.There are also monobloc supports for holding the emergency key in a cavity provided for this purpose. This solution does not protect the key sufficiently.

Actuellement les containers pour clef de secours ont une fonction supplémentaire. En effet ces containers servent d'interface entre la clef de secours, qui comporte un transpondeur, et le système de sécurité du véhicule comprenant un lecteur capable d'accueillir le container et de lire les données du transpondeur. Il est donc nécessaire d'avoir un container qui assure les fonctions de cette interface et qui permette un positionnement déterminé de la clef de secours dans le container pour que lorsque celui-ci est inséré dans le lecteur du véhicule, la lecture du transpondeur puisse être effectuée.Currently emergency key containers have an additional function. Indeed, these containers serve as an interface between the emergency key, which includes a transponder, and the vehicle security system comprising a reader capable of accommodating the container and reading the transponder data. It is therefore necessary to have a container that performs the functions of this interface and which allows a specific positioning of the emergency key in the container so that when it is inserted into the vehicle reader, reading of the transponder can be performed.

Par ailleurs, les containers actuels ne sont pas ergonomiques, par exemple, ils ne permettent pas une ouverture d'une seule main. En effet il est important de pouvoir ouvrir et refermer le container d'une seule main pour pouvoir tenir la clef de l'autre main et ainsi avoir un placement et une extraction aisée de la clef dans son container.In addition, current containers are not ergonomic, for example, they do not allow an opening with one hand. Indeed it is important to open and close the container with one hand to hold the key with the other hand and thus have a placement and easy extraction of the key in its container.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients majeurs en proposant un dispositif spécialement bien adapté pour améliorer le niveau de protection de la clef, l'ergonomie et la simplicité d'emploi qui sont des paramètres impératifs aujourd'hui pour qu'un équipement automobile soit accepté par les utilisateurs. Ce dispositif permet également un positionnement déterminé de la clef dans le containeur pour que le transpondeur de la clef puisse interagir de façon optimale avec le lecteur du système de sécurité du véhicule.The object of the present invention is to remedy these major drawbacks by proposing a device that is especially well suited to improving the level of protection of the key, ergonomics and simplicity of use which are imperative parameters today for a automotive equipment is accepted by users. This device also allows a determined positioning of the key in the container so that the transponder of the key can interact optimally with the reader of the vehicle security system.

A cet effet elle propose un dispositif pour le positionnement et le maintien d'une clef, ce dispositif faisant intervenir un container comprenant au moins deux parties mobiles l'une par rapport à l'autre et comprenant les caractéristiques techniques de la revendication 1.For this purpose it proposes a device for positioning and maintaining a key, this device involving a container comprising at least two movable parts relative to each other and comprising the technical features of claim 1.

Les caractéristiques des revendications dépendantes peuvent être intégrées au dispositif précédemment décrit.The features of the dependent claims may be incorporated into the previously described device.

Grâce aux dispositions précédemment décrites, le processus d'insertion de la clef comprend principalement les étapes consistant à :

Thanks to the previously described arrangements, the process of inserting the key mainly comprises the steps of:
  • a) unlock a part (so-called mobile) relative to the other part (so-called fixed)
  • b) open the moving part
  • c) insert the key into the fixed part
  • d) close the moving part

Le processus d'extraction, pour retirer la clef du container, comprend simultanément les étapes consistant à:

  • a) déverrouiller la partie mobile
  • b) ouvrir la partie mobile
  • c) retirer la clef de la partie fixe
  • d) refermer la partie mobile
  • e) verrouiller la partie mobile
The extraction process, to remove the key from the container, simultaneously comprises the steps of:
  • a) unlock the moving part
  • b) open the moving part
  • c) remove the key from the fixed part
  • d) close the moving part
  • e) lock the moving part

Des modes de réalisation de l'invention sont décrits ci-après à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en faisant référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels, les figures 1-8 montrant un dispositif qui ne fait pas partie de l'étendue de la protection des revendications.Embodiments of the invention are described below by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which, the Figures 1-8 showing a device that does not fall within the scope of the protection of the claims.

La figure 1A montre schématiquement en perspective éclatée un container. La figure 1B est une section longitudinale partielle du couvercle du container représenté en figure 1A.The Figure 1A schematically shows in exploded perspective a container. The Figure 1B is a partial longitudinal section of the lid of the container represented in Figure 1A .

Les figures 2 à 8 sont des perspectives schématiques illustrant les séquences pour placer et extraire une clef du container selon la figure 1.The Figures 2 to 8 are schematic perspectives illustrating the sequences for placing and extracting a key from the container according to the figure 1 .

La figure 9A est une perspective éclatée selon l'invention.The Figure 9A is an exploded perspective according to the invention.

La figure 9B est une vue partielle du fond 13F du manchon circulaire 13D du couvercle 13 montrant la forme des évidements 13FD et 13FG.The Figure 9B is a partial view of the bottom 13F of the circular sleeve 13D of the cover 13 showing the shape of the recesses 13FD and 13FG.

Les figures 10 à 15 montrent schématiquement les séquences de placement et d'extraction d'une clef du container selon la solution de la figure 9.The Figures 10 to 15 schematically show the sequences of placement and extraction of a key of the container according to the solution of the figure 9 .

La figure 16 montre une coupe de l'ensemble du dispositif assemblé suivant la figure 9 perpendiculairement à l'axe de rotation YY', le container étant en position fermée, et verrouillée.The figure 16 shows a section of the entire device assembled according to the figure 9 perpendicular to the axis of rotation YY ', the container being in the closed position, and locked.

Dans l'exemple représenté sur les figures 1A et 1B le container comprend un boîtier 2 présentant la forme générale d'un étui comprenant un corps tubulaire (première partie) refermé d'un coté par un fond et présentant de l'autre côté une ouverture obturable par un couvercle 3 (deuxième partie), afin de pouvoir placer une clef 1.In the example shown on the Figures 1A and 1B the container comprises a housing 2 having the general shape of a case comprising a tubular body (first part) closed on one side by a bottom and having on the other side an opening closable by a lid 3 (second part), so to be able to place a key 1.

Au niveau de l'ouverture, les faces latérales du corps sont prolongées par deux glissières latérales parallèles 4D, 4G réunies l'une à l'autre par le prolongement d'une face du corps. Ces glissières comportent une partie inférieure servant de guide. Au niveau de leur raccordement avec les glissières 4D, 4G, les faces latérales du corps comprennent deux cavités axialement rentrantes CD, CG dans lesquelles débouchent deux lumières oblongues parallèles respectives LD, LG orientées selon l'axe longitudinal du corps.At the opening, the lateral faces of the body are extended by two parallel side rails 4D, 4G joined to one another by the extension of one side of the body. These slides have a lower portion serving as a guide. At their connection with the slides 4D, 4G, the lateral faces of the body comprise two axially reentrant cavities CD, CG in which open two respective parallel oblong slots LD, LG oriented along the longitudinal axis of the body.

Le couvercle 3 présente une section transversale en forme de U dont les segments latéraux 3D et 3G sont destinées à venir en prise sur les cotés latéraux des glissières de manière à assurer un guidage axial du couvercle par rapport au corps.The cover 3 has a U-shaped cross section, the 3D and 3G side segments are intended to engage on the lateral sides of the slideways so as to ensure axial guidance of the cover relative to the body.

Il comprend en outre au niveau de son extrémité antérieure un retour à angle droit destiné à assurer avec sa face supérieure l'obturation du corps en position fermée, et au niveau de sa partie postérieure deux bras latéraux 3D1, 3G1 qui s'étendent axialement pour constituer une chape d'articulation munies de deux tourillons coaxiaux 5D, 5G respectifs d'axe XX' destinés à s'engager dans les lumières du corps.It further comprises at its anterior end a return at right angles intended to ensure with its upper face the closing of the body in the closed position, and at its rear part two lateral arms 3D1, 3G1 which extend axially for constitute a clevis of articulation equipped with two respective 5D, 5G coaxial journals of axis XX 'intended to engage in the body lumens.

Il comprend également au niveau de son extrémité antérieure une ouverture permettant de vérifier la présence de la clef sans avoir à ouvrir le container.It also includes at its front end an opening for checking the presence of the key without having to open the container.

Ces deux bras latéraux sont conformés de manière à pouvoir s'engager dans les deux cavités rentrantes du corps pour assurer un verrouillage en rotation du corps et du couvercle en fin de course de verrouillage.These two lateral arms are shaped so as to be able to engage the two re-entrant cavities of the body to ensure a rotational locking of the body and the lid at the end of the locking stroke.

L'utilisation du container décrit ci-dessus est relativement simple. En partant d'un container vide fermé et verrouillé, il suffit pour insérer la clef de déplacer le couvercle 3 longitudinalement en écartant le couvercle du boîtier 2 perpendiculairement à l'axe XX'. Les tourillons 5G et 5D se déplacent alors dans les lumières LD et LG pour arriver en butée sur la partie antérieure des lumières. Dans cette position le couvercle est libre de tourner autours de l'axe XX' au moins suffisamment pour laisser le passage de la clef. En effet dans cette position seule la glissière inférieure est en contact avec les bras latéraux 3D1, 3G1 du couvercle 3. La forme de l'extrémité de ces bras latéraux est arrondie pour permettre la rotation du couvercle. Il suffit donc après avoir inséré la clef, de refermer le couvercle et de le pousser en direction du boîtier pour verrouiller la fermeture de l'ensemble.The use of the container described above is relatively simple. Starting from an empty container closed and locked, it is sufficient to insert the key to move the lid 3 longitudinally by removing the housing cover 2 perpendicular to the axis XX '. The pins 5G and 5D then move in the LD and LG lights to abut on the front part of the lights. In this position the lid is free to turn around the axis XX 'at least enough to allow the passage of the key. Indeed in this position only the lower slide is in contact with the side arms 3D1, 3G1 of the lid 3. The shape of the end of these side arms is rounded to allow rotation of the lid. So just after inserting the key, close the lid and push it towards the housing to lock the closure of the whole.

Ce dispositif de positionnement et de rangement ainsi que l'assemblage dans ledit dispositif permet de garantir le positionnement de la clef dans le container de sorte que le transpondeur de la clef est positionné de manière optimale dans le lecteur lorsque le container qui l'intègre est disposé dans le lecteur du système de sécurité du véhicule. Ce lecteur vérifie alors les données du transpondeur pour autoriser ou non, par exemple, le démarrage du véhicule.This positioning and storage device as well as the assembly in said device makes it possible to guarantee the positioning of the key in the container so that the transponder of the key is positioned optimally in the reader when the container which integrates it is disposed in the reader of the vehicle security system. This reader then checks the transponder data to allow or not, for example, the start of the vehicle.

Pour enlever la clef du container alors qu'elle est placée dans le container fermé et verrouillé, il suffit d'effectuer les mêmes opérations mais en enlevant la clef au lieu de l'insérer.To remove the key from the container while it is placed in the closed and locked container, it is sufficient to carry out the same operations but by removing the key instead of inserting it.

Les étapes du processus de placement et d'extraction de la clef du container sont présentées dans la succession de figures 2 à 8. La figure 2 montre le container vide et la partie mobile en position fermée et verrouillée. La figure 3 montre le container vide et la partie mobile en position fermée et déverrouillée. La figure 4 montre le container vide et la partie mobile en position ouverte. La figure 5 montre l'introduction de la clef. La figure 6 montre la clef en position dans le container, la partie mobile étant en position ouverte. La figure 7 montre le container contenant la clef et la partie mobile en position fermée et non verrouillée. La figure 8 montre le container contenant la clef et la partie mobile en position fermée et verrouillée.The steps of the process of placement and extraction of the key of the container are presented in the succession of Figures 2 to 8 . The figure 2 shows the empty container and the moving part in closed and locked position. The figure 3 shows the empty container and the moving part in closed and unlocked position. The figure 4 shows the empty container and the moving part in the open position. The figure 5 shows the introduction of the key. The figure 6 shows the key in position in the container, the moving part being in the open position. The figure 7 shows the container containing the key and the moving part in closed and unlocked position. The figure 8 shows the container containing the key and the moving part in closed and locked position.

Dans l'exemple illustré dans les figures 9A, 9B et 16, le container est constitué par un boîtier 14 sensiblement parallélépipédique ouvert dans sa partie supérieur. Le boîtier 14 comprend un fond sensiblement rectangulaire bordé par deux faces latérales, une face antérieure, une face postérieure. Ce container est destiné à recevoir une clef 1.In the example shown in the Figures 9A, 9B and 16 , the container is constituted by a casing 14 substantially parallelepiped open in its upper part. The housing 14 comprises a substantially rectangular bottom bordered by two lateral faces, an anterior face, a rear face. This container is intended to receive a key 1.

Le boîtier 14 comprend en outre, du coté de sa face postérieure un tronçon tubulaire cylindrique 14C d'axe YY' muni de deux échancrures diamétralement opposées (symétriques par rapport au plan longitudinal de symétrie du boîtier), perpendiculairement à celui-ci. Ces échancrures permettent le logement d'une partie de la clef 1.The housing 14 further comprises, on the side of its rear face a cylindrical tubular section 14C YY 'axis provided with two diametrically opposed notches (symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the housing), perpendicular to it. These indentations allow the housing of a part of the key 1.

Le boîtier 14 est refermé par un couvercle 13 monté pivotant coaxialement autours de l'axe YY' du tronçon tubulaire 14C. Ce couvercle, de forme sensiblement identique à celle du fond présente dans sa partie postérieure un orifice circulaire 13C prolongé vers l'intérieur du boîtier 14 par un manchon cylindrique 13D de diamètre extérieur sensiblement égal au diamètre intérieur du tronçon tubulaire 14C, mais avec une hauteur inférieure à celui-ci.The housing 14 is closed by a cover 13 pivotally mounted coaxially around the axis YY 'of the tubular section 14C. This cover, of substantially identical shape to that of the bottom has in its rear part a circular orifice 13C extended towards the inside of the casing 14 by a cylindrical sleeve 13D of outside diameter substantially equal to the inside diameter of the tubular section 14C, but with a height less than this.

Ce manchon cylindrique 13D comprend un fond 13F muni de deux fentes 13FD et 13FG diamétralement opposées. Ces fentes 13FD et 13FG comprennent respectivement une partie circulaire extérieure 13FG1 et 13FD1 deux parties circulaires intérieures 13FG2, 13FD2 et 13FG5, 13FD5 et une partie plane 13FG3 et 13FD3 située plus près de l'axe YY' et formant une encoche. Ce fond comprend un téton de centrage TC permettant le centrage et le positionnement d'un élément élastique 15.This cylindrical sleeve 13D comprises a bottom 13F provided with two slots 13FD and 13FG diametrically opposed. These slots 13FD and 13FG respectively comprise an outer circular portion 13FG1 and 13FD1 two inner circular portions 13FG2, 13FD2 and 13FG5, 13FD5 and a portion plane 13FG3 and 13FD3 located closer to the axis YY 'and forming a notch. This bottom comprises a centering stud TC for centering and positioning an elastic element 15.

La solidarisation du couvercle sur le boîtier 14 dans cette position assemblée est assurée grâce à un bouton 16 présentant une tête cylindrique de diamètre extérieur sensiblement égal au diamètre intérieur du manchon cylindrique 13D du couvercle dans lequel il vient s'engager. La jupe de ce bouton est prolongée par deux pattes élastiques axiales diamétralement opposées 16D et 16G disposées de manière à passer au travers des fentes 13FD et 13FG du fond 13E du couvercle 13.The lid is secured to the casing 14 in this assembled position by means of a knob 16 having a cylindrical head of outside diameter substantially equal to the inside diameter of the cylindrical sleeve 13D of the cover in which it engages. The skirt of this button is extended by two diametrically opposed axial elastic tabs 16D and 16G arranged to pass through the slots 13FD and 13FG of the bottom 13E of the cover 13.

Les extrémités inférieures de chacune de ces pattes 16D, 16G sont munies d'une protubérance interne 16FG3, 16FD3 formant successivement un décrochement 16DE et un chanfrein 16CH.The lower ends of each of these lugs 16D, 16G are provided with an internal protuberance 16FG3, 16FD3 successively forming a recess 16DE and a chamfer 16CH.

Cette protubérance interne 16FG3, 16FD3 est destinée à venir s'encliqueter (notamment grâce au chanfrein) sous- un rebord circulaire prévu sur la surface intérieure du tronçon tubulaire 13C pour assurer à la fois le maintien du bouton 16 sur le boîtier 14 et indirectement du couvercle 13 sur le boîtier 14. Un logement 14A dans le boîtier 14 permet l'enfoncement du bouton 16 mais empêche la rotation du bouton 16. La protubérance interne lorsque le bouton est en position sortie, empêche la rotation du couvercle 13. Par contre lorsque le bouton est enfoncé, la protubérance interne échappe et passe sous le fond du manchon cylindrique 13D et donc permet de libérer le couvercle 13 qui est alors libre en rotation. Ici un angle de rotation de l'ordre de 50° est possible.This internal protuberance 16FG3, 16FD3 is intended to snap (especially thanks to the chamfer) under a circular rim provided on the inner surface of the tubular section 13C to ensure both the maintenance of the button 16 on the housing 14 and indirectly the cover 13 on the housing 14. A housing 14A in the housing 14 allows the depression of the button 16 but prevents the rotation of the button 16. The internal protrusion when the button is in the extended position, prevents the rotation of the lid 13. By cons when the button is depressed, the internal protuberance escapes and passes under the bottom of the cylindrical sleeve 13D and thus allows to release the cover 13 which is then free to rotate. Here an angle of rotation of the order of 50 ° is possible.

L'élément élastique 15 est disposé entre la face supérieure du poussoir et le fond de manière à assurer un serrage élastique de l'ensemble boîtier/couvercle/poussoir.The elastic element 15 is disposed between the upper face of the pusher and the bottom so as to ensure an elastic clamping of the housing / lid / pusher assembly.

Dans cet ensemble le maintien du couvercle 13 en position parfaitement fermée est assuré grâce à un emboîtement du couvercle 13 sur le boîtier 14 sous l'effet de l'action élastique du ressort. Cet emboîtement concerne ici le positionnement relatif précis du couvercle sur le boîtier lorsque le container est fermé. Ceci est obtenu dans cet exemple par un chanfrein CH situé tout autour de la portée de contact entre le boîtier et le couvercle.In this assembly the holding of the lid 13 in perfectly closed position is ensured by a fitting of the cover 13 on the housing 14 under the effect of the elastic action of the spring. This interlocking here concerns the precise relative positioning of the cover on the housing when the container is closed. This is achieved in this example by a chamfer CH located all around the contact area between the housing and the cover.

Le montage de l'ensemble et son utilisation est relativement simple. En fait cette architecture permet avec un nombre de pièces relativement faible de réaliser plusieurs fonctions et donc de diminuer le coût de réalisation et montage.The assembly of the assembly and its use is relatively simple. In fact this architecture allows with a relatively small number of parts to perform several functions and thus reduce the cost of production and assembly.

Pour monter le container il suffit de placer le couvercle 13 sur le boîtier 14 et de placer le ressort 15 et le bouton 16 et d'enfoncer le bouton pour le clipser sur le boîtier.To mount the container simply place the cover 13 on the housing 14 and place the spring 15 and the button 16 and push the button to clip it on the housing.

Pour utiliser le container initialement vide et en position fermée et verrouillée il suffit d'appuyer sur le bouton. La translation du bouton suivant l'axe YY' comprime le ressort 15 et entraîne la protubérance du bouton sous le fond du couvercle 13 et permet la rotation du couvercle 13. Il est possible d'ouvrir le container en tournant le couvercle 13 autours de l'axe YY'. Il est alors possible de placer la clef dans le container, puis de refermer le couvercle 13 en le tournant en sens inverse. Lorsque le couvercle 13 arrive en position fermée la protubérance du bouton se place en face des encoches 13FG3 et 13FD3 et permet ainsi la remontée du bouton sous l'action du ressort et ainsi verrouille l'ensemble. Pour extraire la clef il suffit de répéter les opérations en enlevant la clef au lieu de la placer dans le container.To use the initially empty container and in closed and locked position simply press the button. The translation of the button along the axis YY 'compresses the spring 15 and drives the protuberance of the button under the bottom of the lid 13 and allows rotation of the lid 13. It is possible to open the container by turning the lid 13 around the door. 'YY axis'. It is then possible to place the key in the container, then to close the lid 13 by turning it in the opposite direction. When the cover 13 arrives in the closed position the protuberance of the button is placed in front of the notches 13FG3 and 13FD3 and thus allows the raising of the button under the action of the spring and thus locks all. To extract the key simply repeat the operations by removing the key instead of placing it in the container.

Dans l'exemple représenté par les figures 9 et 16, les étapes du processus de placement et d'extraction de la clef du container sont présentées dans la succession de figures 10 à 15. La figure 10 montre le container vide et la partie mobile en position fermée et verrouillée. La figure 11 montre le container vide et la partie mobile en position fermée et déverrouillée; le bouton poussoir est ici enfoncé. La figure 12 montre le container vide et la partie mobile en position ouvert. La figure 13 montre la clef en position dans le container, la partie mobile étant en position ouverte. La figure 14 montre le container contenant la clef et la partie mobile en position fermée et non verrouillée. La figure 15 montre le container contenant la clef et la partie mobile en position fermée et verrouillée.In the example represented by the figures 9 and 16 , the steps of the process of placement and extraction of the key of the container are presented in the succession of Figures 10 to 15 . The figure 10 shows the empty container and the moving part in closed and locked position. The figure 11 shows the empty container and the moving part in the closed and unlocked position; the push button is here pressed. The figure 12 shows the empty container and the moving part in open position. The figure 13 shows the key in position in the container, the moving part being in the open position. The figure 14 shows the container containing the key and the moving part in closed and unlocked position. The figure 15 shows the container containing the key and the moving part in closed and locked position.

D'autres solutions techniques et variantes sont facilement imaginables à partir de ce concept d'architecture. En effet il est possible par exemple de clipser directement le couvercle 13 sur le boîtier 14 et concevoir un bouton qui ne servirait qu'à verrouiller ou déverrouiller le couvercle 13. Il est possible également de concevoir une architecture d'ensemble où une ou plusieurs pattes de verrouillage seraient fixes par rapport au couvercle 13.Other technical solutions and variants are easily imaginable from this architectural concept. Indeed it is possible for example to directly clip the cover 13 on the housing 14 and design a button that would only serve to lock or unlock the lid 13. It is also possible to design an overall architecture where one or more legs locking would be fixed relative to the lid 13.

Il est également possible de pré contraindre en torsion le ressort de compression pour afin que ce ressort travaille en compression et en torsion de façon que lorsque le bouton est enfoncé le ressort ait tendance à ouvrir le couvercle.It is also possible to torsionally pre-force the compression spring so that the spring works in compression and torsion so that when the button is depressed the spring tends to open the lid.

Le ressort de compression peut également être remplacé par tout élément élastique présentant les mêmes fonctions que ledit ressort.The compression spring can also be replaced by any elastic element having the same functions as said spring.

Le container ou le bouton de commande de déverrouillage 16 peut comporter sur sa face visible une surface de support d'information tel qu'un logo par exemple.The container or the unlocking control button 16 may comprise on its visible face an information support surface such as a logo for example.

Le dispositif selon l'invention convient bien pour assurer un positionnement prédéterminé et améliorer la projection d'une clef de secours dans un container. Ce dispositif, suivant l'invention, n'est donc pas limité aux exemples énoncés plus haut, mais peut être modifié dans le cadre des revendications sans changer la portée de celles-ci.The device according to the invention is well suited to ensure a predetermined positioning and improve the projection of a spare key in a container.
