Claims7
A case for a keyless entry device, the device having a substantially rectilinear shape, the case comprising a tubular sheath open at both ends, the sheath having opposing wide sides and opposing narrow sides and means for allowing but frictionally resisting straight line entry and straight line removal of the keyless device, said resisting means comprising an insert positioned within the sheath, the insert formed of a springlike sheet material, the insert having a central span positioned adjacent a sheath wide side and an edge positioned adjacent each opposing sheath narrow side, the insert having at least one leaf formed in an edge and positioned to deflect and exert force on the keyless device as the device is introduced into the insert means, whereby the straight line entry and removal of the device from the case is frictionally resisted.
A case for a keyless entry device, the device having a substantially rectilinear shape, the case comprising a tubular sheath open at both ends, the sheath having opposing wide sides and opposing narrow sides and means for allowing but frictionally resisting straight line entry and straight line removal of the keyless device, said resisting means comprising an insert positioned within the sheath, the insert formed of springlike sheet material, the insert having a central span positioned adjacent a sheath wide side and an edge positioned substantially adjacent each opposing sheath narrow aide, the insert having a v-shaped part formed in each edge, each v-shaped part being positioned to deflect and exert force on the keyless device as the device is introduced into the insert means, whereby the straight line entry and removal of the device fray the case is frictionally resisted.
