Abstract

A container made from a hard synthetic resin is provided on a key body (12). A container half (26) and the other container half (27) of the container (16) are attached to a key body (12) and a transmitting element (18) is secured to the container halves (26) and (27) in a sealed condition. A soft resin outer skin is molded on the outer surfaces of the key body (12) and the resin container (16). Heat and pressure during the molding of the resin outer skin are received by the resin container (16) so that the transmitting element 18 therein is protected therefrom.
