Abstract

A mechanism that protects a vehicle occupant from a key when excessive load is applied to the key while obtaining sufficient strength for a key plate during normal usage. A support 4 pivotally couples a key plate 3 to a key case 2. The key plate 3 includes a basal end 8 fitted into and fixed to a key plate socket 9 in the support 4. The basal end 8 includes a thin portion 13 that is thinner than the key plate body 10 to facilitate separation of the key plate 3 from the support 4. The key plate body 10 includes two grooves 16 located proximal to the basal end to aid bending of the key plate 3. When a jackknife key is inserted into a key cylinder and a vehicle occupant hits and applies excessive load to the jackknife key, the key plate 3 first bends along the grooves 16 and the thin portion 13 then deforms 13 thereby separating the key plate 3 from the key case 2.
