Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a key plate structure used for locking and unlocking a steering apparatus, a door locking device or the like for an automobile.
  • Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication Nos. 3-111766 and 3-121982 etc. disclose an apparatus for preventing an automobile to be stolen where an electronic part such as transponder tips etc. is arranged on a key head of the key plate and magnetically coupled to an annular antenna coil fixed on a periphery of an end of a key cylinder, so that, in case of a specified key plate, a permission signal is generated to a device for controlling a driving of engine, thereby enabling of starting up the engine, while it is prevented to start up the engine in case that any key plate besides the specified key plate is used.
  • the slanted guide surface is arranged on a side of the electronic part, which is closer to a corner of the hey head than the other opposing side of the electronic part. In this case, it is expected that the electronic part would not be a stumbling block in even a case of forming the corner to be rounded. Therefore, it is possible to increase degree of freedom in modeling the key head.
  • reference numeral 1 designates a key plate consisting of a head part 2a and a straight key part 2b.
  • a synthetic resinous key head 3 which encloses the head part 2a and a part of the key part 2b of the key plate 1.
  • an electronic part 4 such as transponder tips, installed therein adjacent to the key plate 1.
  • the key head 3 is composed of a casing part 5 made of hard synthetic resin, such as polypropylene, polyacetal, polycarbonate etc., for enclosing the key plate 1 partially and an outer cover 6 made of soft synthetic resin, such as vinyl chloride resin, rubber resin etc., for covering the casing part 5 generally.
  • hard synthetic resin such as polypropylene, polyacetal, polycarbonate etc.
  • soft synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride resin, rubber resin etc.
  • the casing part 5 is divided into a pair of casing pieces 5a and 5b interposing the head part 2a and a part of the key part 2b in the direction perpendicular to two opposite surfaces 1a, 1a of the key plate 1.
  • the outer cover 6 is molded integral with the key plate 1 by a not-shown mold.
  • the casing part 5 is provided on one side thereof with a chamber 7 for accommodating the electronic part 4 therein.
  • the chamber will be referred as "receptor part” hereinafter.
  • the receptor part 7 is formed so as to open at a "front" end surface of the key head 3, which directs a tip of the key part 2b of the key plate 1.
  • the electronic part 4 is inserted into the receptor part 7 through an opening 8 formed at the front end surface of the key head 3 and then, a cap 9 made of the same material as that of the casing part 5 is fitted in the opening 8 for closing it.
  • the outer cover 6 includes additional flanges 8a arranged on a periphery of the opening 8 of the receptor part 7. Similarly to the flanges 11a, the additional flanges 8a are also formed so as to direct inside the key head 3 and to abut on two opposing "insertion" surfaces 9a of the cap 9.
  • the casing part 5 is provided on a front end thereof, in detail, respective front edges of the casing pieces 5a, 5b with projecting rims 12 for engagement with the flanges 11a and 8a. Abutting on the flanges 11a, 8a, the projecting rims 12 operate to urge the flanges 11a, 8a against the surfaces 1a, 9a and to secure the flanges 11a, 8a thereon, respectively.
  • flanges 11a, 8a in the shown embodiment are formed in substantial parallel with the abutting surfaces of the projecting rims 12, it is more preferably that these elements are formed obliquely so as to encroach on each other as shown in Fig. 8.
  • the inward directing flanges 11a, 8a are formed on the peripheries of the openings 11, 8 of the outer cover 6 of soft synthetic resin and pressed on the surfaces 1a of the key plate 1 and the insertion surfaces 9a of the cap 9, respectively, by means of the projecting rims 12 provided on the casing part 5 of hard synthetic material.
  • the further opening of the opening 8 of the receptor part 7 of the electronic part 4 can be prevented even when it is formed at the front end of the key head 3 as mentioned above, there is not raised a problem of producing a clearance between the key head 3 and the cap 9, whereby the appearance of the key plate structure can be improved.
  • the key plate 1 projects from the front end of the key head 3, it is seldom that the user touches the outer surface of the cap 9 with his fingers.
  • the cap 9 is made of hard synthetic material, there is no problem of producing a sense of incompatibility for the user.
  • the electronic part 4 is provided on one side edge thereof with the slanted guide surface 4a and one of the leg parts 10 of the cap 9 is formed longer than the other leg part 10 so as to go into the wedge-shaped clearance defined between the guide surface 4a and the side wall of the receptor part 7, it is possible to urge the electronic part 4 against the opposite side wall of the receptor part 7 in addition of urging the part 4 against a bottom wall of the receptor part 7. In connection, it is also possible to fix the electronic part 4 in the receptor part 7 securely without producing any little shaky space.
  • the electronic part 4 is positioned in the key head 3 so that the slanted guide surface 4a is closer to the front corner CF of the key head 3, it is expected that the electronic part 4 would not be a stumbling block in even a case of forming such a rounded corner CF as shown in Fig. 4. Therefore, it is possible to increase degree of freedom in modeling the key head 3.
