Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a key box, especially for a motor vehicle, having a key, including a key, comprising firstly, a key head and an insert and secondly, an insert housing for receiving the insert in case of non-use of the key.
  • EP 0 987 389 key housings comprising an electronic part for the identification by exchange of electromagnetic signals of a user of the vehicle and a mechanical part enclosing a spare key.
  • a motor vehicle key case comprising a longitudinally shaped insert housing for receiving an insert, and a key head for attachment to the insert and forming a key.
  • the key head forming on the one hand closing lid of the key box and on the other hand gripping part of the key.
  • the housing comprises complementary reversible clipping means carried on the one hand by the housing and on the other hand by the key head.
  • the clipping means carried by the housing is movable in translation between a rest position and a release position, in a direction substantially perpendicular to the clipping position of the key head on the housing, and comprises a slide comprising two clipping ramps directed in the same direction and intended to engage with the complementary clipping means carried by the head of the key.
  • Such boxes are particularly practical because they allow to hide the key in the very structure of the housing that protects it. This is very advantageous because the user only needs this backup key in case of power failure, for example battery failure of the electronic part or battery failure of the vehicle.
  • This arrangement further prevents the key insert from catching in the user's pockets and damaging his clothes. This arrangement also makes it possible to significantly reduce the size of the housing.
  • the emergency key comprises a head forming a gripping portion and a metal insert that can be used as mechanical backup key, the head being fixed perpendicularly to the metal insert rigidly.
  • the housing comprises along one of its edges a housing forming a sleeve for receiving the insert and the key head is snapped onto a corresponding opening of the housing.
  • one of the aims of the invention is to provide an improved key box and allowing maintenance of the optimal backup key.
  • the slider further comprises an elastic return means in the rest position.
  • the elastic holding means is a spring.
  • the clipping means comprising the notches comprise a first inclined plane and the clipping ramps comprise a second inclined plane, so that when positioning the key head on the housing, the first inclined plane of each clipping means comprising the notches presses on the second inclined plane of each clipping ramp, causing the displacement in the release position of the slide.
  • the slide comprises an unlocking means allowing it to pass, under the action of a user, from its rest position to its release position.
  • the unlocking means is a sliding button connected to the slider.
  • the figure 1 shows an exploded schematic representation in perspective of a key case, said key case including a spare key 1 and a case 7.
  • the emergency key 1 comprises, fixed to one another, a key head 3 forming a gripping portion and an insert 5 intended to be inserted into a lock, including a spare, a vehicle when used .
  • the housing 7 comprises in particular an insert housing 9 of longitudinal shape, intended to receive the insert 5 in case of non-use of the key 1.
  • the housing 7 may comprise two half-shells 7A; 7B.
  • the first half-shell 7A which can example to receive the electronic equipment, and the second half cover shell 7B, for example may include control buttons such as opening and closing the doors of the motor vehicle.
  • the key box further comprises reversible and complementary clipping means, carried on the one hand by the housing 7 and on the other hand by the key head 3, so that the latter remains fixed against the housing 7 when it is not necessary to use it.
  • At least one of the clipping means is movable in translation between a rest position and a position release, in a direction substantially perpendicular to the clipping position of the key head 3 on the housing 7.
  • the release position or the movable clipping means are not related to his or her means of complementary clipping, which induces that the key head 3 is no longer attached to the housing 7 and it is possible to remove it.
  • the movable engagement means or clocks are in relation with its complementary clipping means or means, which induces that the head key 3 is fixed to the casing 7.
  • the key head 3 may comprise two clipping means 13A, 13B.
  • the two clipping means are each positioned at one end of said key head 3.
  • a first clipping means may comprise a first notch 13A, for example positioned on a stirrup 14 to one end of the key head 3.
  • a second clipping means may also be a second notch 13B, for example positioned in a base 12 of the key head 3, intended to receive the insert 5.
  • the housing 7 also comprises two movable clipping means 15A, 15B.
  • These two clipping means 15A, 15B may be snap ramps 15A, 15B directed in the same direction and carried by a slider 11. In the rest position and when the key head 3 is positioned on the housing 7, the clipping ramps 15A, 15B are inserted in the notches 13A, 13B, fixing said head of key 3 on the case 7.
  • the slider 11 for example made of metal, may comprise a longitudinal bar 111 from which extends, at each of its ends and perpendicularly to said longitudinal bar 111, an extension 113A and 113B, each carrying an engagement ramp 15A, 15B.
  • the slider 11 may also comprise, between the extensions 113A and 113B, a third extension 115 extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal bar 111.
  • the slider 11 may be in contact with one of the two half-shells 7A, 7B of the housing 7 by its third extension 115 and at least one of the extensions 113A and 113B.
  • the slide 11 is then placed in a guide 19, located on at least one of the two half-shells 7A, 7B.
  • the guide 19 keeps the slider 11 and also limits its movements during the transition from its rest position to its release position. More specifically, authorized movements are movements of translations perpendicular to the axis of introduction and withdrawal of the key head 3 in the housing 7.
  • the guide 19 may be located on only one of the half-shells 7A, 7B or be present on the two half-shells 7A, 7B at a time. Said guide 19 may thus comprise two parallel guide elements, between which the slider 11 is positioned and between which said slider 11 can move from its rest position to its release position by a translational movement. These guide elements may be a wall or a series of aligned pins forming a guide element and on which supports and translates the slide 11.
  • the slider 11 may also comprise an elastic means 17 allowing by default the return of said slider 11 to its rest position.
  • This elastic means 17 may be for example a spring placed between an abutment on the housing 7 and one of the extensions 113A, 113B, 115 of the slider 11.
  • the clipping means comprising the notches 13A, 13B may also comprise a first inclined plane 21A and the clipping ramps 15A, 15B may additionally comprise a second inclined plane 21B.
  • first inclined plane 21A of each clipping means comprising the notches 13A, 13B presses on the second inclined plane 21B of the ramps clipping 15A, 15B, so as to cause the translational movement of the slide 11 to its release position.
  • the slider may further comprise an unlocking means 27, allowing a user to move it from its rest position to its release position, in order to remove the key head 3 from the housing 7.
  • the unlocking means 27 may be a sliding button, connected to the slider 11 at one of its extensions 113A, 113B, 115, and manipulable through an opening (not shown) formed in one of the half-shells 7A , 7B.
  • the key box according to the invention because of its locking means, allows an optimal and resistant to shock of the emergency key 1 at the housing 7, thus fulfilling the conditions defined by the manufacturers in their specifications
