Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schlüsselhalter zum lösbaren Zusammenfassen von Schlüsseln zu einem Schlüsselbund, bestehend aus einer Scheibe, deren Rand mit einer hinterschnittenen Nut versehen ist, in der vorzugsweise kugelförmige Aufnahmeglieder für die zu haltenden Schlüssel über einen in der Scheibenebene verlaufenden Durchbruch einfügbar sind, wobei der Durchbruch im Gebrauchszustand durch einen gegen Federkraft verschiebbaren Schieber verschlossen ist.The invention relates to a key holder for the releasable combination of keys to form a key ring, consisting of a disc, the edge of which is provided with an undercut groove, in which preferably spherical receiving members for the keys to be held can be inserted via an opening running in the disc plane, the Breakthrough in the state of use is closed by a slide that can be moved against spring force.

Ein derartiger Schlüsselhalter ist beispielsweise bekannt aus der deutschen Gebrauchsmusterschrift 1 900 399, bei der eine kreisrunde Scheibe mit einem schieberverschlossenen Durchbruch vorgesehen ist.Such a key holder is known, for example, from German utility model 1 900 399, in which a circular disk with a slide-locked opening is provided.

Die Erfahrung lehrt, daß an einen derartigen Schlüsselhalter durchschnittlich vier Schlüssel angehängt werden. Zum Austauschen oder Herausnehmen eines Schlüssels ist es daher notwendig, sitzt dieser Schlüssel an zweiter oder dritter Stelle bei vier Schlüsseln im Schlüsselbund, immer entweder den Schlüssel an erster oder zweiter Stelle herauszunehmen oder zumindest über die Durchbruchstelle hinüberzuführen.Experience has shown that an average of four keys are attached to such a key holder. To exchange or remove a key, it is therefore necessary, if this key is in second or third position with four keys in the keychain, always either remove the key in first or second position or at least pass it over the breakthrough point.

Diese umständliche Manipulation soll durch die Erfindung vermieden werden.This cumbersome manipulation is to be avoided by the invention.

Erreicht wird dies in erfindungsgemäßer Weise dadurch, daß in der Scheibe zwei gegenüberliegende Durchbrüche vorgesehen sind, in denen ein in ihnen gegen Federkraft in beiden Längsrichtungen verschiebbarer Schieber, dessen Länge mit der Scheibenbreite übereinstimmt, gelagert ist.This is achieved in the manner according to the invention in that two opposing openings are provided in the disc, in which a slide which is displaceable in them against spring force in both longitudinal directions and whose length corresponds to the disc width is mounted.

Nicht mehr also wie bisher wird nur ein einziger durch einen Schieber verschlossener Durchbruch vorgesehen, sondern zwei gegenüberliegende Durchbrüche, die durch einen einzigen Schieber verschlossen werden. Dadurch liegen sämtliche vier Schlüssel an einer Entnahmeöffnung und können dadurch ohne Schwierigkeiten entnommen beziehungsweise ausgetauscht werden.It is no longer the case that only a single opening closed by a slide is provided, but two opposite openings which are closed by a single slide. As a result, all four keys are located at a removal opening and can therefore be removed or replaced without difficulty.

Als weiterer Vorteil kann der einfache Aufbau hervorgehoben werden, der nicht nur dadurch erreichbar ist, daß in neuerungsgemäßer Weise die Scheibe aus zwei in der Scheibenebene geteilten Scheibenhälften zusammenfügbar ist, sondern auch dadurch, daß für den einen einzigen Schieber lediglich ein querverlaufender Längsschlitz vorzusehen ist.As a further advantage, the simple structure can be emphasized, which is not only achievable by the fact that the pane can be assembled from two pane halves divided in the plane of the pane, but also in that only one transverse longitudinal slot is provided for the single slide.

Vorteilhafterweise wird hierbei der Schieber trogförmig ausgebildet und in diesen trogförmigen Schieber eine Schrauben-Druckfeder eingefügt, die sich an eine oder zwei Zapfen in einer der Scheibenhälften abstützt. Wird hierbei die Höhlung des Schiebertroges abgestuft, mit einer breiteren mittleren, dem Durchmesser der einzufügenden Schrauben-Druckfeder entsprechenden Höhlung und zwei sich beidseits daran anschließenden Höhlungen geringerer Breite, in die die an der Scheibenhälfte angebrachten Zapfen eingreifen, so ist dadurch neben der einfachen Fertigung noch eine exakte Mittellage des Schiebers festgelegt, ohne daß es hierfür gesonderter Anschläge etc. bedarf.Advantageously, the slide is trough-shaped and a helical compression spring is inserted into this trough-shaped slide, which is supported on one or two pins in one of the disc halves. If the cavity of the slide trough is graded, with a wider central cavity corresponding to the diameter of the helical compression spring to be inserted and two cavities of smaller width adjoining it on both sides, into which the pins attached to the disc half engage, this is in addition to the simple manufacture an exact central position of the slide is set without the need for separate stops etc.

Als Vorteil hat es sich bewährt, daß die Scheibe nicht, wie allgemein bekannt, kreisförmig ausgebildet, sondern unrund, vorzugsweise quadratisch ist. Dieser Vorteil wird insbesondere dann erkennbar, wenn die Schlüssel in der Dunkelheit ergriffen werden sollen. Hierbei sind die Positionen der beispielsweise zwei mal zwei Schlüssel unschwer zu ertasten Werden einem weiteren Erfindungsmerkmal nach in die Nut der Scheibe Kugelketten als Aufnahmeglieder eingefügt, so sind unschwer auch auf diese Art und Weise mehr als vier Schlüssel ohne Schwierigkeiten zu selektieren.It has proven to be advantageous that the disk is not circular, as is generally known, but is non-circular, preferably square. This advantage is particularly noticeable when the keys are to be taken in the dark. The positions of the two times two keys, for example, are easy to feel. If, according to a further feature of the invention, ball chains are inserted into the groove of the disk as receiving members, more than four keys can be selected without difficulty in this way too.

Derartige Schlüsselhalter sind beliebte Werbemittel. Nach der Erfindung soll daher an zumindest einer Außenseite der Scheibe ein überstehender Rand vorgesehen werden, so daß sich eine schüsselförmige Vertiefung ergibt, in die Werbeplaketten, auch reliefartig ausgebildete Plaketten, unschwer eingelegt und eingeklebt werden können.Such key holders are popular advertising media. According to the invention, therefore, a protruding edge is to be provided on at least one outside of the pane, so that there is a bowl-shaped depression into which advertising badges, also relief-like badges, can be easily inserted and glued.

Auf der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel des Erfindungsgegenstandes schematisch dargestellt, und zwar zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine Ansicht des Schlüsselhalters,
  • Fig. 2 die Ansicht einer Scheibenhälfte mit gestrichelt eingezeichnetem Schieber und Schrauben-Druckfeder,
  • Fig. 3 eine Unteransicht des Schiebers mit eingesetzter Druckfeder und
  • Fig. 4 die Seitenansicht eines derartigen Schiebers.
An exemplary embodiment of the subject matter of the invention is shown schematically in the drawing, namely:
  • 1 is a view of the key holder,
  • 2 is a view of a half of the disc with a dashed slider and helical compression spring,
  • Fig. 3 is a bottom view of the slide with the compression spring and
  • Fig. 4 is a side view of such a slide.

Der Schlüsselhalter 1 ist aus zwei Scheibenhälften 2, 3 unter Zwischenlage eines Schiebers 4 mit Handhabe 5 und einer Schrauben-Druckfeder 6 zusammmengefügt. An der Peripherie des Schlüsselhalters verläuft eine hinterschnittene Nut 7, die nach außen einen Längsschlitz aufweist. Ineinander passende Verbindungsglieder 8 sorgen beim Zusammenfügen der Scheibenhälften 2, 3 für einen korrekten gegenseitigen Sitz.The key holder 1 is composed of two disc halves 2, 3 with the interposition of a slide 4 with a handle 5 and a helical compression spring 6. An undercut groove 7 runs on the periphery of the key holder and has a longitudinal slot on the outside. Interconnecting links 8 ensure a correct mutual fit when the disc halves 2, 3 are joined together.

Beide Scheibenhälften 2, 3 weisen je zwei gegenüberliegende Durchbrüche 9, 10 auf, in denen der Schieber 4 geführt ist. Dieser Schieber 4 ist mit einem abgestuften Trog 11, 12 versehen, wobei in den breiteren Trogteil 12 die Schrauben-Druckfeder 6 eingelegt ist. Diese Schrauben-Druckfeder 6 stützt sich an zwei in der einen Scheibenhälfte 3 angebrachten Zapfen 13 ab, die in den Trogteilen 11 gleiten. Dadurch ist die Mittellage des Schiebers 4 festgelegt und gleichzeitig dafür gesorgt, daß er durch Erfassen der Handhabe 5 des Schiebers 4 die aus einem Längsschlitz 14 hervorsteht, belastet durch die Feder 6, verschoben werden kann.Both disc halves 2, 3 each have two opposite openings 9, 10, in which the slide 4 is guided. This slide 4 is provided with a stepped trough 11, 12, the helical compression spring 6 being inserted into the wider trough part 12. This helical compression spring 6 is supported on two in the one disc half 3 attached pin 13 which slide in the trough parts 11. As a result, the central position of the slide 4 is fixed and at the same time ensures that it can be moved by gripping the handle 5 of the slide 4, which protrudes from a longitudinal slot 14 and is loaded by the spring 6.

In die hinterschnittene Nut 7 sind in an sich bekannter Weise im allgemeinen kugelförmige Aufnahmeglieder einzufügen, an denen die Schlüssel zu befestigen sind. Werden beidseits des Schiebers je zwei dieser Aufnahmeglieder eingesetzt, so kann jedes einzelne Aufnahmeglied durch entsprechende Betätigung des Schiebers 4 herausgenommen beziehungsweise ohne größere Manipulationen eingesetzt werden. Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, mehrere derartige Aufnahmeglieder in den Schlüsselhalter nach der Neuerungeinzusetzen.In the undercut groove 7 are generally spherical in a conventional manner Insert support links to which the keys are to be attached. If two of these receiving members are used on both sides of the slide, each individual receiving member can be removed by corresponding actuation of the slide 4 or used without major manipulations. Of course, it is also possible to insert several such receiving members into the key holder after the innovation.

Da der gezeichnete Schlüsselhalter 1 in seiner äußeren Form quadratisch ist, lassen sich die in ihm festgelegten Schlüssel unschwer, auch bei Dunkelheit, ertasten. Hervorzuheben ist außerdem die äußerst wirtschaftliche Fertigungsmöglichkeit, die gerade bei solchen in großen Stückzahlen herzustellenden Artikeln äußerst wichtig ist.Since the drawn key holder 1 is square in its outer shape, the keys defined in it can be felt easily, even in the dark. Also to be emphasized is the extremely economical manufacturing possibility, which is extremely important especially for such articles to be produced in large quantities.
