  • Publication number: 20230265874
    Abstract: A wall anchor (1), having an anchor plate (2) with a front face (3) and a rear face (4), a fixing portion (5) which protrudes from the front face (4) of the anchor plate (2), which extends along a centre axis (M) and has a threaded structure (6) for receiving an anchor bolt (7), and two hooks (8, 9) which protrude from the rear face (4) of the anchor plate (2). The hooks (8, 9) are configured such that the wall anchor (1) can be fixedly connected to a profile rail (18) by protrusions (21) of a profile rail (18), with respect to forces acting in the direction of the centre axis (M).

  • Patent number: 10487540
    Abstract: The locking cylinder has a stator and a rotor, which can rotate in the stator and has a key opening into which a key can be inserted. The locking cylinder has a multiplicity of tumbler-mating-tumbler pairs, wherein each of the tumblers has a first part and a second part that are connected to one another, for example, with a press fit. In the method for programming a locking cylinder, the locking cylinder has at least one two-part tumbler, having parts that are connected to one another with a press fit. In the method, when a key is introduced into the key opening a length, effective in terms of locking, of the tumbler is changed by the first part and the second part sliding one into the other or moving apart from one another, in particular is reduced by them sliding one into the other.

  • Publication number: 20060230796
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic locking device comprising at least one lock unit and a safety key (1) that is provided with at least one control circuit and a transmit and receive circuit which transmits the data signals to the control circuit of the other respective unit. At least one data carrier module (7) comprising an antenna (7a) is provided. The safety key (1) encompasses a mechanical part (3) that is provided with a head (12) and a shaft (4) comprising control areas (5). The data carrier module (7) is inserted into a recess (13, 14, 15) of the mechanical part (3). The safety key (1) is embodied in such a way that it can be or is fitted with at least one second data carrier module (8, 9) which is provided with an independent antenna (8a, 9a) and a frequency that is different from that of the data carrier module. The second data carrier module (8, 9) is or can be inserted into a pocket of a cap (2) which is placed upon the mechanical part (3).
