  • Removable core lock with increased rotation
    Patent number: 6679090
    Abstract: There is disclosed an improved rotatable cylinder lock having a removable lock core. The lock core is removable from the lock housing for locking applications that require the lock to have up to 180° of lock core rotation. The invention is accomplished through the use of a specially designed lock housing, lock core, adapter, and shifter. The lock housing has a cylindrical opening defining a groove and rotational slot. Inserted within the cylindrical opening in the lock housing is an adapter having a stop lug and tumbler block, a shifter having a drive slot, and a lock core having a block restrictor relief. In use, the stop lug on the cylindrical adapter rotatably engages with the rotational slot in the housing while the tumbler block on the adapter rotatably engages with the block restrictor relief on the lock core. The assembly of the present invention thereby permits the lock core to be rotated 180° within the lock housing while also permitting the removal of the lock core.
