Definitions
- the present invention relates to a key, including a motor vehicle key, having a retractable insert whose play is limited when the key is deployed.
- the field of the invention is, in general, that of the keys with retractable insert.
- Such keys are frequently used in the automotive field because they offer the particular advantage of having a small footprint when they are not used: indeed, such keys can adopt either a rest position, in which the bit of the key is folded into the body of said key, a position of use, wherein the insert out of the body of the key to be introduced into a lock.
- FIGS. 1-A to 1-D Such an example of a key is given in FIGS. 1-A to 1-D.
- the key 1 represented in FIGS. 1 -A to 1-D comprises: a housing 3 forming a key head, an insert 5, 7 comprising a bit support 5 and a bit 7 secured to the support 5, and a mechanism for deploying the insert 5, 7 relative to the housing 3 to allow a displacement of the insert 5,7 between: a rest position ( Figures 1-C, 1-D) in which the insert 5,7 is retracted into the housing 3 in a recess 9 provided inside the housing 3, for example in a substantially L-shaped shape corresponding to the shape of the insert 5, 7, and a position of use (Figure 1-A), in which the insert 5, 7 is deployed relative to the housing 3 to be inserted into a lock.
- the insert 5.7 is most often made of Zamak (zinc / magnesium / aluminum / copper alloy).
- the housing 3 is made in two parts in the form of an upper half-shell 3a forming a lid, having an inner face 41, and a lower half-shell 3b forming a bottom housing, having a inner face 40.
- the inner face 40 of the housing base 3b and the inner face 41 of the lid 3b are thus facing one another.
- the two half-shells 3a, 3b can be assembled for example by clipping.
- a seal may be disposed between the two half-shells 3a, 3b to protect the interior of the housing 3 against the external environment, particularly against moisture or dust.
- a decorative belt (not shown) disposed between the two half-shells 3a, 3b to embellish the assembly.
- the key 1 can also combine a mechanical key and an electronic key.
- a printed circuit board (not shown) is disposed in the housing 3.
- This board carries the remote control electronic circuits for central locking / unlocking of the vehicle doors, and a transponder (not shown) for the anti-theft system of the vehicle and a battery (not shown) for the remote control function.
- This remote control function is operated by the operator by means of actuating buttons 11 provided on the upper half-shell 3a.
- the support 5 has two opposite ends 5a, 5b, the end 5a carries the bit 7.
- one end of the bit 7 can be fitted into a complementary housing (not shown) at the end 5a 5.
- the support 5 / bit assembly 7 is held fixed for example by a pin (not shown) through holes 17 formed on the support 5 and the bit 7.
- the bit 7 can be fixed to the support 5 by any other appropriate means.
- the deployment mechanism of the insert 5, 7 comprises: a push button 19 received in an associated housing 21 of the upper half-shell 3a and passing through an orifice 6 of the support 5, the push button 19 protruding relative to to the upper half-shell 3a so as to be accessible to a user so that he can operate this push button 19 to deploy the insert 5, 7, and an elastic return member 23 fixed by a first end 23a to the insert 5.7 and a second end 23b to an element locked in rotation relative to the housing 3, to bias the insert 5.7 pivotally to the position of use when the push button 19 is actuated.
- This return element 23 is a helical torsion spring.
- This stop means may comprise a stopper piece formed in the support 5 on which the pushbutton 19 comes into contact at the end of the stroke, so that the translational movement of the pushbutton 19 is stopped before this last reaches the bottom wall of the support 5.
- the support 5 has at its bottom a recess (Figure 1-D), for example according to an arc a circle greater than 180 °, and the stop means comprises a stop pin 15 (Figure 1-C) from the lower half-shell 3b and inserted in the support 5 at this arc, This stop pad 15 further has a recess for defining a surface 15a of contact with the push button 19 at the end of the race.
- the push button 19 comprises means for locking the push button in rotation relative to the housing 3. This locking means forms a guide of the push button 19 in axial translation along the longitudinal axis A of the push button 19 and is realized in one piece with the push button 19.
- this guide blocking means comprises at least one guide pin 25 which protrudes outwardly from the external surface of the pushbutton 19. It can be provided that the push button 19 comprises two diametrically opposite guide pins 25 or three regularly distributed guide pins 25 for optimized translation guidance.
- the free volume of the key 1 is defined as the internal volume of the key occupied by the insert 5, 7 when the key is in the rest position.
- the bit support rotates around longitudinal axis A in a portion of this free volume when moving from the rest position to the use position and vice versa.
- the part of the free volume in which evolves, during the transition from the rest position to the position of use of the key and vice versa, the support 5 of the bit 7 is designated as the evolution volume of the support 5. II is delimited by a portion of the inner face 41, said high evolution zone 43 of the support 5, the upper half-shell 3a and a part of the inner face 40, called the low evolution zone 42 of the support 5, of the lower half-shell 3b.
- All constituted by the high evolution zone 43 and the low evolution zone 42 is designated by the expression "evolution sector" of the support 5 of the bit 7.
- the high evolution zone 43 of the support 5 has a flange 44
- the low evolution zone 42 has a low rim 45, the blade 7 protruding, in the position of use, at the top edge 44 and the bottom edge 45 in the position of use of the key .
- the top flange 44 and the bottom flange 45 both extend between a first end, called the end of rotation 46 of the key 1 - the rotation of the bit 7 around the longitudinal axis A is at the end rotation 46, and a second end, said locking end 47 of the key 1, said locking end 47 marking the stop of the bit 1 during its passage from the rest position to the position of use.
- Such a game can present several problems; on the one hand it causes premature wear of the opening / closing mechanism of the insert, because of the friction it induces; on the other hand, it gives an impression of fragility of the key to the user.
- the object of the invention is to solve the problems just mentioned.
- a key with a retractable insert having a limited play at the end of the bit.
- the invention thus relates essentially to a key, particularly for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a housing with an upper half-shell forming a lid and a lower half-shell forming a case bottom;
- An insert comprising a bit and a bit holder, pivotally mounted relative to said housing between a rest position in which the insert is retracted into said housing and a use position in which the insert is deployed relative to said housing;
- a deployment mechanism of the insert mounted in said housing comprising in particular a push button
- the sector of evolution of the support comprises at least one narrowing point having with said support a second clearance lower than the first set.
- the key according to the invention may have one or more additional characteristics among the following, considered individually or according to the technically possible combinations;
- the narrowing point is disposed at a locking end of the top flange and / or the bottom flange;
- the narrowing point is present neither at the high edge, nor at the bottom edge, of the sector of evolution of the bit support
- the first game is of the order of 0.2 millimeters. It can thus vary by more or less ten percent compared to 0.2 millimeters.
- the second game is of the order of 0.05 millimeters. It can thus vary by more or less ten percent from 0.05 millimeters.
- Figure 1 -A shows a key according to the state of the art
- Figure 1-B shows the upper half-shell of the key housing of Figure 1-A
- Figure 1-C shows an exploded view of the key of Figure 1-A
- Figure 1-D is a bottom perspective of Figure 1-C;
- Figure 2-A is a first perspective view of a key of the state of the art illustrating a problem of lateral play;
- Figure 2-B is a second perspective view of a key of the state of the art illustrating the problem of lateral play
- Figure 3 is a schematic representation of a first embodiment of a key according to the invention.
- Figure 4 is a schematic representation of a second embodiment of the invention.
- the keys concerned by the invention are in particular those described previously with reference to FIGS. 1 -A to 1-D and 2-A to 2-B. However, they may differ in particular in the deployment mechanism used to move from a rest position to a position of use, the overall structure of the keys according to the invention is similar to that of the previous figures.
- the housing 3 can be found, the insert comprising the bit support 5 and the bit 7 secured to the support 5, the upper half-shell 3a forming a cover, having an inner face 41, and the half lower shell 3b forming a housing bottom, having the inner face 40, the longitudinal axis A, the push button 19, the high evolution zone 43 of the support 5, the low evolution zone 42 of the support 5, the rim high 44, the bottom flange 45, the rotational end 46, the locking end 47 of the key 1.
- the problem of lateral clearance is solved by ensuring that the high evolution zone 43 of the support 5 and the low evolution zone 42 of the support 5 are no longer strictly parallel.
- At least one narrowing point is introduced at the level of the high evolution zone 43 in order to limit a second clearance 32 existing between the support 5 and the high evolution zone of the support 5, with respect to a first set 31 existing between the end of rotation 46 and the support 5.
- the first set 31 must remain relatively important because it is located in an area where there is a high mechanical pressure when the user presses the push button 19, and it is necessary not to block the rotation of the insert during the transition from the rest position to the position of use.
- the narrowing point is not placed directly on the flange 44, but towards the inside of the key, while still remaining on the high evolution zone 43 of the support 5.
- the second set 32 it is expected to lower the second set 32 to a value substantially equal to 0.05 millimeters, the first set 31 having a value of 0.2 millimeters.
