  • Patent number: 10669743
    Abstract: A cylinder lock and an associated key, the lock including a fixed body and a plug which is accommodated within a respective cavity of the body and can rotate with respect to the body. The plug includes a substantially longitudinal compartment for the functional accommodation of a key which includes a grip portion from which an elongated body extends and which is provided with coding grooves and protrusions on its outer surface. Between the plug and the body are respective accommodation channels for translating coding elements, which open onto the substantially longitudinal compartment. The plug includes at least one auxiliary duct which faces the substantially longitudinal compartment and extends at least partially in the body for the sliding accommodation of at least one coding unit that includes at least one pin and at least one conical portion.

    Abstract: A cylinder lock and an associated key, the lock comprising a fixed body and a plug, which is accommodated within a respective cavity or the body and can rotate with respect to the body. The plug comprises a substantially longitudinal compartment for the functional accommodation of a key which comprises a grip portion from which an elongated body extends which is provided with coding grooves and protrusions on its outer surface; between the plug and the body there are respective accommodation channels for translating coding elements, which open onto the substantially longitudinal compartment; the plug comprises at least one auxiliary duct, which faces the substantially longitudinal compartment and extends at least partially in the body, for the sliding accommodation of at least one coding unit that is constituted by at least one pin and at least one conical portion.

  • Patent number: 9353548
    Abstract: A rekeyable cylinder (1) comprising a stator (2) provided with a substantially cylindrical receptacle (3) for a rotor (4). The rotor (4) and the stator (2) are affected by channels (5) for at least one respective pin, movable so that it can slide in them in contrast to respective elastic means. The simultaneous arrangement of the pins partly in the rotor (4) and partly in the stator (2) determines the locking of the rotor (4), and the alignment of a terminal edge of the pins with the interface surface between stator (2) and rotor (4), obtained through the insertion of an adapted key (7) with a contoured profile into an opening (6) of the rotor (4) that faces the channels (5), determines the free rotation of the rotor (4) with respect to the stator (2).

  • Publication number: 20090078010
    Abstract: A break-in resistant cylinder for locks, comprising a stator provided with a substantially cylindrical longitudinal cavity for accommodating a rotor with a longitudinal recess for the insertion of a key. The rotor and the stator comprise a plurality of channels which are substantially aligned and face each other (when the cylinder is in the closed configuration); the channels accommodate respective coding pins, tumbler pins and any elastic elements designed to prevent the rotation of the rotor within the stator if the key is not present in the longitudinal recess. At least one of the tumbler pins comprises a bush and a spike; the stem of the spike has a smaller diameter than the inside diameter of the bush and is longer than the bush. The spike is arranged so that its head is directed toward the bottom of the channel of the stator and rests against the elastic elements and the free end of the stem rests against the lower surface of the coding pin.

  • Publication number: 20060272372
    Abstract: A cylinder lock and key comprising primary pins which are mutually opposite with respect to a longitudinal slot provided in the rotor of the cylinder for insertion of the key; the primary pins are associated with respective movable complementary pins accommodated within respective passages of the rotor and the stator, provided at the surface of discontinuity formed between the stator and the rotor of the cylinder. The key has a seat for accommodating a respective orientable lever, that actuates the primary pins aligned with it: the lever has a thickness variable, even locally and discontinuously, according to a coded pattern, depending on geometry and arrangement of the primary pins, forming a particular configuration of contact of the heads of the primary pins against the surface of the lever at which the complementary pins are completely accommodated within only one of the passages.
