Description

Etui pour clé
La présente invention concerne un étui destiné à contenir et protéger une clé montée sur un anneau ou similaire solidaire de l'etui.
Key case
The present invention relates to a case intended to contain and protect a key mounted on a ring or the like secured to the case.

On connaît des étuis pour clé comprenant un étui constitué d'un fond portant des anneaux de fixation, sur lequel se replient deux rabats munis de moyens de fermeture tels qu'un bouton-pression.There are known key cases comprising a case consisting of a bottom carrying fixing rings, on which fold two flaps provided with closure means such as a press button.

Ces étuis, constitués de cuir ou de matière synthétique souple, ne maintiennent pas les clés qu'ils contiennent et sont en outre d'une manipulation malaisée, d'une esthétique souvent discutable et non personnalisée et d'un prix de revient relativement élevé. En outre, les clés sont complètement cachées, ce qui peut tre négatif pour le fabricant de clés.These cases, made of leather or flexible synthetic material, do not maintain the keys they contain and are also difficult to handle, often questionable and non-personalized aesthetics and a relatively high cost price. In addition, the keys are completely hidden, which can be negative for the key manufacturer.

La présente invention vise à fournir un étui qui ne présente pas les inconvénients des étuis connus tout en protégeant l'utilisateur de l'agressivité que peuvent présenter certaines clés. The present invention aims to provide a case which does not have the drawbacks of known cases while protecting the user from the aggressiveness that certain keys can present.

A cet effet, l'étui selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un fourreau constitué d'un fond et d'un couvercle d'une seule pièce en matière synthétique moulée et reliés par une articulation venue de moulage avec le fond et le couvercle, le fond étant muni intérieurement d'une empreinte creuse correspondant à la forme et aux dimensions de l'ébauche de la clé qui est destinée à ltetui, ladite empreinte creuse incluant un orifice traversant en regard d'un orifice de la tte de clé, le couvercle recouvrant une portion du fond et de l'empreinte creuse correspondant au moins à la queue ou tige de la clé mais ne recouvrant pas au moins l'extrémité de la tte de clé incluant l'orifice, un anneau étant enfilé dans l'orifice traversant du fond, ledit fourreau comprenant en outre des moyens de maintien du couvercle en position de fermeture.To this end, the case according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises a sheath consisting of a bottom and a cover of a single piece of molded synthetic material and connected by a joint coming from molding with the bottom and cover, the bottom being provided internally with a hollow imprint corresponding to the shape and dimensions of the blank of the key which is intended for the case, said hollow imprint including a through hole facing an orifice of the key head, the cover covering a portion of the bottom and of the hollow imprint corresponding at least to the tail or rod of the key but not covering at least the end of the key head including the orifice, a ring being threaded into the hole passing through the bottom, said sheath further comprising means for holding the cover in the closed position.

Le fourreau selon l'invention peut tre fabriqué de manière économique par moulage tout en permettant une personnalisation liée au type de clé qu'il peut contenir, à la possibilité de décoration externe du fourreau et à la visibilité de la tte de clé lorsque le fourreau est fermé.The sheath according to the invention can be produced economically by molding while allowing customization linked to the type of key it may contain, the possibility of external decoration of the sheath and the visibility of the key head when the sheath is closed.

De préférence, le couvercle comprend une empreinte intérieure creuse correspondant à la forme et aux dimensions de la portion de clé qu'il doit recouvrir. La clé est ainsi logée dans une sorte d'écrin qui la maintient parfaitement.Preferably, the cover includes a hollow internal imprint corresponding to the shape and dimensions of the key portion which it must cover. The key is thus housed in a sort of case which holds it perfectly.

Selon une forme de réalisation particulièrement simple de l'invention, l'articulation entre le fond et le couvercle est à mémoire de forme et tend à rappeler le couvercle sur le fond. Il est avantageux de prévoir que le fond et/ou le couvercle comportent une encoche périphérique d'ouverture.According to a particularly simple embodiment of the invention, the articulation between the bottom and the cover is shape memory and tends to recall the cover on the bottom. It is advantageous to provide that the bottom and / or the cover have a peripheral opening notch.

L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description suivante d'un exemple de réalisation en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel :
la figure 1 est une vue en plan du fourreau ouvert, l'anneau porte-clé ayant été omis,
la figure 2 est une vue en plan d'une ébauche de clé non taillée correspondant à des clés pouvant tre logées dans le fourreau de la figure 1,
la figure 3 est une vue en plan du fourreau de la figure 1, ferme,
la figure 4 est une vue en élévation latérale du fourreau fermé et
la figure 5 est une vue en perspective du fourreau fermé.
The invention will be clearly understood on reading the following description of an exemplary embodiment with reference to the appended drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a plan view of the open sheath, the key ring having been omitted,
FIG. 2 is a plan view of an uncut key blank corresponding to keys that can be housed in the sheath of FIG. 1,
FIG. 3 is a plan view of the sheath of FIG. 1, firm,
FIG. 4 is a side elevation view of the closed sheath and
Figure 5 is a perspective view of the closed sheath.

Le fourreau selon l'invention est constitué d'un fond 1 sur lequel est articulé un couvercle 2 par l'intermédiaire d'une charnière 3. Cet ensemble est moulé d'une seule pièce en matière synthétique, la charnière 3 étant venue du moulage avec une mémoire de forme telle que le couvercle 2 se referme normalement sur le fond 1. The sheath according to the invention consists of a bottom 1 on which is hinged a cover 2 by means of a hinge 3. This assembly is molded in one piece from synthetic material, the hinge 3 having come from molding. with a shape memory such that the cover 2 normally closes on the bottom 1.

Le fond 1 comporte en creux, sur sa face interne, une empreinte 4 ayant la forme et les dimensions d'une ébauche de clé 5 (figure 2). Cette ébauche de clé 5, dans l'exemple représenté, est une clé à pannetons 6, avec une tte 7 munie d'un orifice 8 et reliée aux pannetons 6 par une tige 9. L'empreinte 4 comporte un orifice 10 homologue de l'orifice 8 de la clé et sur lequel est monté un anneau de clé ou similaire (non représenté). The bottom 1 has recessed, on its internal face, an imprint 4 having the shape and dimensions of a key blank 5 (Figure 2). This key blank 5, in the example shown, is a bit key 6, with a head 7 provided with an orifice 8 and connected to the bits 6 by a rod 9. The imprint 4 has an orifice 10 homologous to the orifice 8 of the key and on which is mounted a key ring or the like (not shown).

Le couvercle 2 est muni d'une empreinte 11 identique à l'empreinte 4 du fond, si ce n'est que le couvercle 2 ne recouvre pas la totalité du fond 1 et libère la zone d'extrémité de l'empreinte 4 incluant l'orifice 10.
L'empreinte 11 est donc limitée à une portion de 1'empreinte 4. Le fond 1 comporte en outre une encoche latérale 12 facilitant l'ouverture du couvercle 2 contre l'action de ressort de l'articulation 3.
The cover 2 is provided with a footprint 11 identical to the footprint 4 of the bottom, except that the cover 2 does not cover the entire bottom 1 and releases the end zone of the footprint 4 including the orifice 10.
The imprint 11 is therefore limited to a portion of the imprint 4. The bottom 1 also comprises a lateral notch 12 facilitating the opening of the cover 2 against the spring action of the joint 3.

L'étui qui vient d'tre décrit permet donc de conserver à l'abri toute clé taillée sur une ébauche identique à celle de la clé 5, et de supprimer l'agressivité des dents taillées sur les pannetons 6. La clé est parfaitement maintenue dans les empreintes 4,11 constituant une coquille et peut facilement tre extraite en ouvrant le couvercle 2 par insertion d'un ongle dans l'encoche 12. La clé reste alors suspendue à l'anneau monté sur l'orifice 10 du fond 1.  The case which has just been described therefore makes it possible to keep in the shelter any key cut on a blank identical to that of key 5, and to suppress the aggressiveness of the teeth cut on the bits 6. The key is perfectly maintained in the indentations 4,11 constituting a shell and can easily be extracted by opening the cover 2 by inserting a nail in the notch 12. The key then remains suspended from the ring mounted on the orifice 10 of the bottom 1.

Le fourreau 1, 2 a une forme esthétique et peut comporter des marquages, par exemple venus de moulage. Il offre l'avantage que la tte de clé, non recouverte par le couvercle 2, reste visible. Cette tte de clé comporte en général la marque du fabricant de serrure qui reste ainsi exposée en constituant une promotion pour ce fabricant. The sheath 1, 2 has an aesthetic shape and may include markings, for example from molding. It offers the advantage that the key head, not covered by the cover 2, remains visible. This key head generally includes the mark of the lock manufacturer which thus remains exposed by constituting a promotion for this manufacturer.
