Ignition device for a motor of an automotive vehicle

An ignition device for a motor of an automotive vehicle, the device comprising:

• a rotor configured to receive a key and mounted in rotation on a bracket, the rotor comprising a retainer configured to inhibit translation of the rotor in a first direction relative to the bracket;
• and
• a first push back device between the bracket and the rotor and configured to bias the rotor in the first direction along an axis parallel to an axis of the rotation of the rotor,
• the bracket and the retainer are configured to cooperate so as to inhibit rotation of the rotor in a predetermined direction from a predetermined angular position and to allow the rotation of the rotor beyond the predetermined angular position in the predetermined direction upon preliminary applying a force on the rotor in a second direction, opposite to the first direction of the linear force applied by the first push back device;
• the bracket further comprises a recess, and wherein the recess of the bracket and the retainer are configured to cooperate so as to inhibit rotation of the rotor;
• wherein the recess comprises a ramp configured to receive the retainer,
• wherein the rotor is configured to receive the key in the second direction.

• the ignition device further comprising
• a pin switch coupled in rotation to the rotor, and mounted in translation relative to the bracket, and
• wherein the rotor is configured to receive the key in the second direction and comprises a key detection device coupled with the pin switch, and configured to move through a first position to a second position when the key is introduced in the rotor, and
• wherein the key detection device and the pin switch are arranged so that moving from the first position of the key detection device to the second position of the key detection device move the pin switch from a rest position to an activated position, the activated position of the pin switch making an electrical contact.
