Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, for discrete and for aesthetic reasons, the spare key is generally very tightly and completely integrated into the housing, which can cause problems when the user grips it to extract it from the housing

Embodiment Construction

[0036] figure 1 A schematic exploded perspective view of the key housing is shown, which in particular comprises a spare key 1 and a housing 7 .

[0037] Said housing 7 comprises a longitudinally shaped insert receptacle 9 oriented along the axis A, which is adapted to receive the insert 5 . The housing 7 also includes a space 70 for receiving the key head 3 . The receiving space extends on axis B along the housing 7 . Axis A and said axis B of the receiving space define an angle X, generally 90°. The housing 7 may comprise two half-shells 7A and 7B. The first half-shell 7A can eg receive electronic equipment, and the covering second half-shell 7B can eg comprise control buttons, such as buttons for electrically opening and closing the doors of the motor vehicle.

[0038] The spare key 1 comprises a key head 3 forming a grip portion and an insert 5 adapted to be inserted into a lock of a vehicle, in particular a spare lock, when in use. like Figure 2A Shown, when not in...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a key casing, including: a casing (7) including a recess (9) for an insert, which is oriented along an axis (A), and a receiving space (70), which extends along an axis (B), said axes (A, B) forming an angle (X); a key head (3) which extends along an axis (C) and which is attached to the insert (5) at an angle (Y); and a complementary, reversible snap-fitting means supported by the casing (7) and by the key head (3), said key head (3) being capable of passing from a free position to a position in which it is snap-fitted onto the casing (7) in the receiving space (70), wherein the angle (Y) at which the insert (5) is attached onto the key head (3) is different from the angle (X) such that, in order to move the key head (3) into the snap-fitted position, deformation stresses are applied onto said key head (3).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a key housing, in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising a key, in particular a spare key, comprising on the one hand a key head and an insert, and on the other hand an insert housing for use when not in use Key case receives insert. Background technique [0002] In the automotive sector, eg from document EP0987389, key housings are known which comprise an electronic part for identifying the user of the vehicle by exchanging electromagnetic signals and a mechanical part enclosing a spare key. [0003] Such casings are particularly useful because they enable the key to be concealed in the characteristic structure of the casing that protects said key. This is particularly advantageous because the user only needs the spare key in the event of an electrical failure, such as a battery failure in the electronic part or a battery failure in the vehicle. [0004] Furthermore, this arrangement prevents the key insert from ...
