Definitions
- the invention relates to a key fob.
- Key fobs are practical items that almost everyone uses every day.
- the keys usually hang on a metal ring on which the actual key fob is arranged.
- the key fob makes it easier to find the key.
- the metal ring and keys are bulky; the ring is often not adjustable to the number of keys.
- US2816434A describes a flexible adjustable key holder in which a substantially flat, oval body, a cord-like member integral with and extending from the body, the body having spaced indentations formed on one end of the body, wherein the indentations are spaced from the ends of the body, forming shoulder portions extending from the body, the shoulder portions having tubular recesses adapted to receive a cord-like element and to be associated with the cord-like element, and a head element being arranged formed on the free end of the cord-like element, which is designed to rest against one of the shoulders when the cord-like element is inserted into one of the cord-receiving indentations.
- DE9112195U1 describes a key fob with a base body, a flexible fastening means and a detachable closure piece for accommodating at least one Key, wherein the flexible fastener is a rope or is a nylon thread or the like with a clamping end and a free end and the base body has at least two devices in which one end of the cable or the nylon thread or the like can be fixed against axial displacement.
- EP0237965A1 describes a housing with a flexible cord for connecting the housing to a living or inanimate object, the housing having a mandrel with two lateral recesses which each receive a termination sleeve which is attached to one end of the flexible cord, the The case has two shoulders, each serving as a stop for a flexible cord termination sleeve, the stops ensuring the final locking of the two ends of the cord in the case once the mandrel has been fully inserted into the case, and the case further having an insertion end stop.
- the aim of the invention is to provide a key fob to which keys can be easily attached.
- a key fob comprising a body, a cover plate, a cord-like element, a spring, a roller, a push button and an annulus segment, the cover plate being arranged on the base plate and being fastened via fastening means;
- the spring is accommodated in a cavity of the base plate;
- the cover plate has two recesses in which the cord-like element is received;
- the roller can be rotated on the cover plate is arranged ;
- the annular segment has an opening;
- the push button is arranged on the cover plate, wherein the push button has an open position and a closed position, wherein the push button enters into a non-positive and/or positive connection with the cord-like element in the closed position; wherein the push button has a part which can be moved by the push button and which can be inserted into an opening of the annular element; and wherein the push button is locked or locked via the spring.
- Such an execution of the key fob allows keys to be easily attached to the key fob by threading the cord-like element into the hole in the key and placing the cord-like element in the indentations of the key fob and fixing it by pressing the push button.
- the cord-like element can be a commercially available cord, z. B. a rope, plastic thread, e.g. B. nylon thread, a cord, a twine, etc.
- the ends of the cord-like element can have a terminating sleeve.
- the cord-like element can also be a wire or a chain. The length of the cord-like element can pull out or. Pushing in the cord-like element can be adjusted at will.
- the cord-like element can be passed through the opening of the annulus segment, which is then wrapped around the reel. In this way, the cord-like element can be easily adjusted in length and remains stowed away in the key fob and does not get in the way when you carry it.
- the roller and the annular segment can be made in one piece. As a result, the ring segment can be moved to the side by turning the roller, which facilitates the insertion of the cord-like element. To fix the cord-like element, the circular ring segment is rotated back into the starting position, which causes the cord-like element to be fixed in place, in addition to the push button.
- the one-piece element consisting of a roller and an annular segment, can be arranged on the base plate so that it can rotate.
- the cord-like element can be threaded more easily into the depressions.
- a receptacle for further modules can be arranged on the base plate.
- additional modules that are useful in practice can be arranged and connected to the key fob.
- the additional module can be a carabiner or a pocket knife.
- Other possibilities for modules are, for example, a name tag, a flashlight, a USB stick, etc.
- FIG. 1 shows an exploded view of a key fob according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 shows an exploded view of a key fob according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 shows an exploded view from below of a key fob according to the invention.
- Fig. 4 shows a key fob according to the invention in a ready-to-use state.
- Fig. 5 shows a key fob according to the invention into which a cord-like element is inserted.
- FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of the invention with a possibility of accommodating further modules and a pocket knife.
- Fig. 7 shows an embodiment of the invention in which a key fob is combined with a pocket knife.
- Fig. 8 shows a commercial carabiner.
- Figure 9 shows an embodiment of the invention in which a key fob is combined with a carabiner.
- the key fob comprises: a base body 1, a cover plate 2, a cord 3, a spring 4, a roller 5, a push button 6.1 and a circular ring segment 7, the cover plate 2 being arranged on the base plate 1 and being fastened by fastening means; the spring 4 is accommodated in a cavity of the base plate 1; the cover plate 2 has two recesses 8, 9 in which the cord 3 is taken; the roller 5 is rotatably mounted on the top plate 2; the annular segment 7 has an opening 10; the push button 6.1 is arranged on the cover plate 2, the push button 6.1 having an open position and a closed position, the push button 6.1 entering into a non-positive and/or positive connection with the cord 3 in the closed position; the push button 6.1 having a part 6.2 which can be moved by the push button 6.1 and which can be inserted into an opening 10 of the annular element 7; and the push button 6.1 being locked or released via the spring 4; the cord 3 being passed through the opening 10 of the annulus segment 7 which is then wound around the reel 5.
- the cord 3 can be a commercially available cord, e.g., rope, plastic thread, e.g., nylon thread, cord, twine, etc.
- the ends of the cord 3 can have a ferrule.
- the cord 3 can also be a wire or a chain. The length of the cord 3 can be adjusted as desired by pulling out or pushing in the cord 3 .
- a key fob as described in Example 1 also has a receiving option for further modules 11 .
- a carabiner 12 is attached to this recording option 11 . This allows the keychain to be easily attached to a belt loop.
- a key fob as described in Example 1 also has a receiving option for further modules 11 .
- On this recording option 11 is a pocket knife 13 attached. This makes the key fob a practical addition.
