ZUSAMMENKLAPPBARER SCHLUESSEL FUER FAHRZEUGE.

摘要

A folding key for vehicles, in which a key body is pivotally mounted in a dished cap so as to be capable of pivoting with respect to the cap. The key body has a pivot portion which is directly supported by a bearing bore formed in the cap, or which is clamped and supported between a first bearing portion provided in a bottom surface of a recess in the cap and a second bearing portion provided in a support member fitted in the recess in the cap. In the latter case, a resilient tongue is resiliently engaged with an inward end of the key body to retain the same. The cap has formed therein a cut-out with which the key body is engaged upon ultimate levelling of the key body. Preferably, the cut-out is formed in a portion of a peripheral edge of the cap, which is located at a rear of the peripheral edge with reference to an advance direction of the vehicle.
