Abstract
A key holder (1) with lamp, comprising a two-part housing, of which one housing part (2) bears as source of illumination (incandescent lamp 7) and has a first section (A) of a battery-receiving chamber (B) which is provided with a button (19) and of which the second section (A1) is formed by the other housing part (3), each housing part (2, 3) receiving one of the two contact elements (14, 40) in each case. The end sections (16, 41) of the contact elements (14, 40) are assigned to the two broad surfaces of the battery-receiving chamber (B) and are located opposite one anther at a distance which is greater than the distance between the two broad surfaces (29, 49) of the button-cell battery, and one of the two contact end sections (16, 41), upon actuation of the button, be displaced in the direction of the other contact end section.
Claims1
A key holder with lamp, comprising a two-part housing, of which a first housing part (2) bears an illumination means and has a first section (A) of a battery-receiving chamber (B) which is provided with a button (19) and of which the second section (A1) is formed by a second housing part (3), a first contact element and a second contact element which contact the illumination means for connecting the illumination means with a button-cell battery (K) upon insertion of the battery within the battery-receiving chamber, each of said first and said second contact elements having a first end section and a second end section, each housing part (2, 3) receiving respectively one of the two contact elements (14, 40), wherein the first end sections (16, 41) of respective ones of the contact elements (14, 40) are associated respectively with each of two broad surfaces of the battery-receiving chamber (B) and are located opposite one another at a distance which is greater than the distance between the two broad surfaces (29, 49) of the button-cell battery (K), upon insertion of the battery within the battery-receiving chamber and wherein the first end section of the first of the two contact elements, upon actuation of the button, is displaced in a direction toward the first end section of the second contact element, and wherein the second end section of said first contact element extends transversely of said displacement direction to contact a terminal of said illumination means, a portion of said second end section of said first contact element being configured as a spring for exerting a spring force against said illumination means;
- wherein the button (19) comprises a flexible-plastic cup, and a cup base (24) is at a distance from a broad surface (29) of the battery upon insertion of the battery within the battery-receiving chamber;
- and
- the first end section (16) of the first contact element is located on the base (24) of the cup.
