An ornamental key head designed to be fitted successively with keys having bits of various shapes and heads provided with cut sections formed by cutting the heads of conventional keys, comprising,
- a case formed of at least two parts that are held together in a removable manner, said case having an external surface that has two opposite walls and a peripheral wall, said case having an inner cavity for receiving a said cut section of a key,
- said peripheral wall of the case having an opening for receiving the bit of a key that has its cut section in said cavity, said opening being narrower than a portion of the cut section of the key,
- one said part of the case having an interior side,
- key locking means for locking the cut section of the key head inside the cavity of the case in a position near said opening to prevent the key from being displaced in its own plane relative to the head, said key locking means being mounted on said interior side of said one part of the case,
- fixation means for preventing the key from being moved rotationally and from being displaced perpendicularly to its own plane, said fixation means being adjustable according to the thickness of the cut section, said fixation means being mounted on said interior side of said one part of the case, and being operable, independently of the thickness of the cut section, to press the cut section of said bit against said interior side of said one part,
- said locking means and said fixation means being positioned where they are not visible when the case is assembled.
