Publication number: 20110108385Abstract: Coin-operated lock comprising a lock housing (1), a lock cylinder having a cylinder core (50), a bolt piece (3), and a follower (4), which is rotatable about a rotational axis and is coupled to the cylinder core and the bolt piece to allow operation of the bolt piece by means of a key inserted in the cylinder core. In the absence of a coin inserted in the lock housing, a blocking device (6, 7) prevents movement of the bolt piece. A decoupling device is designed to decouple the blocking device. The decoupling device comprises a driver (20) and a coupling member (30). The driver is arranged radially outside the follower (4), rotatably about the rotational axis of the follower, and comprises a decoupling member (21, 22) designed to decouple the blocking device. The coupling member (30) is arranged on the follower so that it is radially displaceable between an inner position and an outer position, and comprises an inner (35) and an outer (34) end.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2010Publication date: May 12, 2011Applicant: ASSA ABInventors: Ake Haggstrom, Rolandh Jonsson

Publication number: 20080223094Abstract: A lock key comprises a key blank (20) that has a gripping part (20a) and a key bit part (20b). A circuit board (34) that has mounted thereon electric circuits and a key contact part (35) connected electrically to the electric circuits are accommodated in a circuit board cradle (30) made of electrically non-conductive material. The circuit board cradle is fitted to the key blank. The placement of a circuit board and electric contact conductor in an electrically non-conductive material makes possible rational manufacture of the arrangement. Because the circuit board cradle made of electrically non-conductive material can be fixated in the key blank it is possible to position the electric contact conductor precisely, thereby ensuring a reliable electric contact function.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2006Publication date: September 18, 2008Applicant: ASSA ABInventor: Daniel Andersson

Patent number: 6823702Abstract: A cylinder lock-key combination including a cylinder housing, a key and a plug which has a circular-cylindrical barrel surface and which is rotatable in an opening in the housing. The barrel surface of the housing includes a key recess whose width exceeds its depth, and a plurality of code pin channels are preferably disposed in several rows. Code pin tumblers present in the code pin channels co-act with one or more blocking elements, such as pins or side bars, disposed in channels intended to this end. The blocking elements block rotation of the plug when one side surface of an inserted key presents wrong code surfaces. There is provided in this way a compact lock construction, which also enables the use of many code pins.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2003Date of Patent: November 30, 2004Assignee: Assa ABInventor: Ake Häggstrom

Patent number: 6755060Abstract: A method of fastening a lock cylinder body in a generally flat element comprises the steps of providing in the element (20) an opening (22) which is defined by at least first and second mutually convergent edges (24a, 24b), and providing in the body (10) first and second grooves (14a, 14b) that are intended for co-action with said edges. The body is then inserted into the opening (22) to a position in which the grooves are level with said edges, whereafter the body is moved in a direction parallel with the plane of the element into an engagement position in which the edges are in engagement with the grooves, therewith to lock the body in an axial direction in this engagement position. Finally, a tongue (26) integral with the flat element is bent to a position in which the tongue lies essentially in the plane of said flat element, so as to lock the body (10) against movement in directions parallel with the plane of the element (20) in said engagement position.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2002Date of Patent: June 29, 2004Assignee: Assa ABInventor: Åke Häggström
