Slot mechanism and smart ignition system

摘要

A holder coil spring (40) is located between an inner surface of a bottom of a case main body (21) and a bottom outer surface of a shutter holder (11). A shutter coil spring (77) is located between a bottom inner surface of the shutter holder (11) and a shutter (12). In each sidewall of the shutter holder (11), a tactile feedback piece (83) and a locking piece (49) are provided. The tactile feedback piece (83) holds the shutter holder (11) at the case main body (21). The locking piece (49) locks an electronic key in the shutter holder (11). Even if an object other than the electronic key (for example, a finger) is inserted in the slot, the object is not locked in the shutter holder (11). When the object other than the electronic key is pulled out of the slot (23), the shutter holder (11) and the shutter return to original positions to close the slot (23). Therefore, when no object is inserted, the slot (23) of the slot mechanism is reliably closed with the shutter (12).
