- the technical field concerns that of key fittings covering a head of a key used in a bolt to lock or unlock a lock, a padlock or a bolt.
- the invention is particularly of interest in the context of a key fitting capable of covering the head of a key, allowing the stem of said key, also called a bit, to protrude outside of said fitting.
- the technical area also concerns keys covered with a trim.
- Such an invention is particularly suitable for use for a so-called flat key, that is to say having a head and a bit carried by the same plane, formed in a plate.
- a flat key can be defined as having at least the flat head.
- a key to a bolt of a lock, a bolt or a padlock has in a known manner a head extending through a rod or bit.
- This rod may include, for example, teeth or lugs, reservations or magnets, so as to actuate a bolt of a lock, a bolt or a closing system.

- the clipped cover may pop off when a user rotates the key or exerts significant twisting, and the key may disengage from the trim.
- This trim is also not very aesthetic, the technical elements necessary for clipping the hood and the different parts of the trim are particularly visible.
- the key head is engaged in a housing and blocked by means of a cover into which screws are screwed passing through the key through holes previously made in the key head.
- Another objective of the invention is to provide a trim in a few parts, simple to assemble and disassemble, and having legible and extensive writing surfaces.
- Yet another objective of the invention is to propose a trim whose construction requirements allow great freedom of shape, in order to allow customization of said trim for different uses or markets.
- the invention relates to a key fitting, adapted to receive a flat key having a head and a stem or bit, said fitting being of the type comprising on the one hand a shell comprising a housing capable of receiving said key head , and on the other hand a cover or the like capable of covering said housing after engagement of said head, and it is characterized in that said shell is in the form of a drawer, comprising a bottom as well as a peripheral wall which has a cutout intended to allow said bit to be extracted from said drawer, while said cover or the like is in the form of a box comprising two facing walls connected by a partial peripheral wall, namely that it comprises an opening designed capable of allowing the passage of said drawer with a view to its introduction into said box by sliding, said drawer and said box comprising for this purpose matching guide means, so as to allow sliding in a direction not parallel to the axis according to which said paneton is extracted from said drawer by said cutout of said peripheral wall.
- This fitting can accommodate a key, the head of the key being housed in the drawer, the stem of the key protruding through the cutout in the drawer. Once the drawer is installed in the internal volume of the box, the key can no longer accidentally come out of the fitting.
- This trim has large front and back sides on which information can be written.
- This trim structure allows great freedom in the shape of the box and drawer, allowing customization of the trim according to the targeted markets.
- the direction of sliding of the drawer in the box is perpendicular to the axis along which said pan is extracted from said drawer by the cutout of the peripheral wall.
- the means for guiding the drawer in the internal volume of said box are in the form of rails between which the drawer slides.
- the fitting comprises means for locking the drawer in the internal volume of said box, which are in the form of at least one gadroon at the start of the rail of the box cooperating with at least a notch at the top and/or bottom of the drawer.
- the drawer comprises a lug projecting externally from the peripheral wall in a direction parallel to the sliding axis, while the peripheral wall of the box comprises an opening capable of receiving said lug.
- the lug passes through the light to come flush with the exterior surface of the box. This ensures that the aesthetics of the trim are not compromised.
- the fitting comprises means for securing a key to the drawer and/or the box.
- the drawer and the box are made of metal.
- the drawer and the box are produced by machining.
- the fitting in particular the drawer, comprises means for recording remote information, in particular in the form of a chip and a radio frequency antenna.
- the fitting in particular the drawer, comprises lighting means capable of illuminating an area near the end of a rod of a key inserted in said fitting.
- the invention also relates to an assembly comprising a flat key having a head and a stem, and a fitting having all or part of the characteristics of a fitting as described above.
- the invention relates to a key fitting 1 capable of receiving a flat key 2.
- This flat key 2 comprises a head 20 and a stem also called bit 21.
- the trim and the key are considered in the vertical position, rod 21 downwards.
- the rear of the trim 1 is visible
- the front of trim 1 is visible.
- the bottom of the figures corresponds to the lower part of the pad 1 and the key 2.
- the left and right sides of the figure 2 correspond to the respectively left and right sides or lateral faces of the trim 1 with reference to the figure 2 .
- the fitting 1 comprises a drawer 3 and a box 4, the drawer 3 being configured to engage in the box 4 as described below.
- trim presented here has the shape of a circular puck extending from the rear to the front, but it can adopt a rectangular, elliptical, trapezoidal, polygonal section shape, or any other conceivable shape. .
- Drawer 3 has a rear bottom 30 and a peripheral wall 31. Drawer 3 is open at the front. The drawer 3 also has an opening 32 in the lower part of the peripheral wall 31.
- the bottom 30 and the peripheral wall 31 define a housing 33 in which a head 20 of a flat key 2 can be inserted from the front of the drawer 3, so as to place the key 2 vertically in the housing 33 of the drawer 3 and so that the rod 21 protrudes from the drawer 3 through the opening 32 at the bottom of the drawer 3.
- the box 4 comprises a rear wall 40 and a facing front wall 41, as well as a partial peripheral wall 42, the whole defining an internal volume 43.
- the peripheral wall 42 is pierced by an opening 44 opening onto the internal volume 43
