Abstract

The key is intended to provide light in darkness under simple control of a thumb. To the metal key part is connected a rear handle of thermoplastic material, which contains all functional parts needed to actuate an incorporated miniature incandescent lamp. It contains pref. a miniature disc battery, and the handle may have an enclosed plug connector for the battery recharging from the mains. The key may be also used for car application, possibly combined with the ignition switch key. The metal key part may be made in an injection moulding process for forming the key handle, after proper insertion of the function parts.

Description

L E U C H T S C H L U S S E L L E U C H T S C H L U S S E L

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schlüssel, der bei Dunkelheit mittels Daumendruck zum Leuchten gebracht werden kann.The invention relates to a key that means in the dark Thumb pressure can be made to glow.

Der Leuchtschlüssel soll das Suchen und Finden des Schlüsselloches bei der Dunkelheit erleichtern.The purpose of the luminous key is to search for and find the keyhole ease in the dark.

Es gibt kein langes, umständliches Suchen des Schlüssel loches mehr.There is no longer a long, laborious search for the keyhole.

Die zweite freie Hand braucht keine Taschenlampe mehr zu halten.The second free hand no longer needs to hold a flashlight.

Auch Einhänder können schnell und ohne Schwierigkeiten das Schlüsselloch bei Dunkelheit finden.Even one-handed people can use the keyhole quickly and without difficulty find in the dark.

Der Leuchtschlüssel eignet sich besonders gut als Auto- und Haustürschlüssel, da er in beiden Fällen wohl am häufigsten benötigt wird. (z.B. auf dunklen Parkplätzen, vor nicht beleuchteten Hauseingängen usw.) Auf Grund der heutigen Technologie ind der Herstellung von Kleinstbatterien (g;alvo Elemente) und kleinsten Glühbirnen liegt es auf der Hand, diese für den Leuchtschlüssel zu verwenden.The illuminated key is particularly suitable as a car and house key, since it is probably needed most often in both cases. (e.g. in dark parking lots, in front of unlit house entrances, etc.) Due to today's technology ind the production of small batteries (g; alvo elements) and the smallest light bulbs it is obvious to use this for the illuminated key.

Da es auf dem Markt eine große Zahl von Kleinstbatterien, Akkus und Glühbirnen mit den unterschiedlichsten Abmessungen und Spannungen gibt, möchte ich mich nicht von vornherein auf einen bestimmten Typ oder eine bestimmte Marke festlegen. Aus diesem Grunde sind auch unterschiedliche Gehäusegrößen des Leuchtschlüssels möglich, um den unterschiedlichsten Bedingungen, Anforderungen und Wünschen optimal gerecht zu werden und konstruktiv möglich zu machen.Since there are a large number of miniature batteries, rechargeable batteries and rechargeable batteries on the market I want lightbulbs with the most varied of dimensions and voltages don't commit myself to a certain type or brand in the first place. For this reason there are also different housing sizes for the light key possible to optimally meet the most diverse conditions, requirements and wishes to be fair and constructively possible.

Eine enge Zusammenarbeit mit Schtüsselherstellern ist zwangsläufig erforderlich.Close cooperation with bowl manufacturers is inevitable necessary.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, Schließvorgänge jeglicher Art bei Dunkelheit schnell und ohne Umstände durchführen zu können.The invention is based on the object of any closing processes Art can be carried out quickly and easily in the dark.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsmäßig dadurch gelöste daß die zwei verschiedenen Gegenstände wie Taschenlampe und Schlüssel mittels einer festen, unlösbaren Verbindung zu einem neuen Gegenstand, dem L E U C H T S C H L U S S E L , vereinigt werden.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the two different Objects such as flashlights and keys by means of a fixed, permanent connection be united into a new object, the L E U C H T S C H L U S S E L.

Als Autozündschlüssel kann man den Leuchtschlüssel z. .As a car ignition key you can use the key z. .

an Stelle einer Knopfzellenbatterie auch mit einem gasdichten Akkumulator in Form einer Knopfzelle ausrüsten, welcher bei der Fahrt im Zündschloß des Autos immer wieder aufgeladen würde.Instead of a button cell battery, also with a gas-tight accumulator in the form of a button cell, which when driving in the ignition of the car would be charged over and over again.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird wie folgt näher beschrieben: Der eigentliche Schlüssel (2) im herkömmlichen Sinne wird z.B. als Einlegeteil in ein Spritzgußwerkzeug eingelegt und in diesem an seinem hinteren Ende mit einer Thermoplastischen Kunststoffmasse umspritzt, welche beim Abkühlen auf den metallenen Schlüssel aufschrumpft, eine feste Verbindung eingeht und das Gehäuse (3) bildet.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is described in more detail as follows: The actual key (2) in the conventional Sense is e.g. placed as an insert in an injection molding tool and in this at its rear end with a thermoplastic plastic compound, which shrinks onto the metal key when it cools, forms a firm connection and forms the housing (3).

Das Gehäuse (3) nimmt mittels Rasteffekt die Glühbirne (1), die Minibatterie (Knopfzelle u. kleiner) und das Daumen druckstück (4) auf. Beim Ergteifen des Leuchtschlüssels kommt das Gehäuse (3) (bzw. Griffstück) zwischen Daumen und Zeigefinger. Durch leichten Tastdruck des Daumens auf das einfedernde Daumendruckstück (4) wird ein elektr. The housing (3) takes the light bulb (1), the mini battery, by means of a latching effect (Button cell and smaller) and the thumb pressure piece (4). When grabbing the key the housing (3) (or handle) comes between your thumb and forefinger. By light Pressing the thumb on the resilient thumb pressure piece (4) is an electr.

Gleichstromkreislauf zwischen Spannungsquelle (Minibatterie gleichgroß oder kleiner wie Knopfzelle) und Verbraucher (Miniglühbirne 1) hergestellt. Die Glühbirne leuchtet auf. DC circuit between voltage source (mini battery of the same size or smaller like button cell) and consumer (mini light bulb 1). the Light bulb lights up.

Nach dem das Schlüsselloch gefunden und der Schließvorgang beendet ist, bzw. der Daumen vom Daumendruckstück (4) abhebt, wird der Stromkreislauf unterbrochen und die Glühbirne (1) erlischt wieder. After the keyhole is found and the locking process is finished or the thumb lifts off the thumb pressure piece (4), the electrical circuit is interrupted and the light bulb (1) goes out again.
