  • Patent number: 6742368
    Abstract: A closing device includes a cylinder core with followers and a closing cylinder with a freewheel sleeve and a housing accommodating the sleeve. Normally, a coupling slider is coupled to the cylinder core by a restoring force, but is decoupled therefrom in the event of overcharge. An axial connection is provided between the coupling slider and a locking and controlling member. The slider and the locking and controlling member can be radially moved, however, can be rotated between various rotational positions of the closing cylinder when the cylinder core is actuated using a key. The closing cylinder has two key removal positions. The coupling slider is displaced in the angle thereof by turning the key between at least two rotational positions which correspond to the key removal positions. The coupling slider can be radially displaced in the direction of the rotational positions. At least one locking and controlling member is allocated to each of the rotational positions.

  • Patent number: 6439016
    Abstract: A closing device with a closing cylinder for closing functions to be performed especially on vehicles has a radial recess for the locking and control member that is open toward the exterior of the housing and the locking and control member is exposed in the radially outward direction, but is covered by a leaf-shaped spring. A spring is arranged in the circumferential area of the housing and acts directly on the locking and control member. The control and locking member is arranged radially adjacent to the cylinder portion of the cylinder core being provided with followers. A slide is positioned in a portion of the closing cylinder axially stepped relative to the locking and control member, and an axial connection bridges the spacing between the locking and control member and the slide.
