  • Patent number: 8746022
    Abstract: A pull-up latch mechanism includes a stator (2) with an inner open channel (20), a cap (10) attached to a cylinder (1) lodged into the open channel (20) of the stator (2), a shaft (8) provided with a latching pawl, and a control system connecting the shaft (8) to the cylinder. The control system is adapted for generating a first movement of rotation of the cylinder, a movement of the shaft (8) away from the cylinder in the direction of the longitudinal axis, for generating a second movement of rotation of the cylinder, and a movement of the shaft towards the cylinder in the direction of a central axis.

  • Patent number: 5119654
    Abstract: A cylinder lock having a removable barrel that includes a control tumbler. The barrel is retained in the housing of the lock by a nib that is formed on either the barrel or the interior of the housing. A longitudinal nib slot is formed on the other of either the barrel or the interior of the housing. The nib and the nib slot are aligned with one another only when the barrel is in an unlocking position for permitting the barrel to be removed from the housing. In this manner, the barrel may be removed from the housing only when both the barrel is in the unlocked position and when a special control key has been inserted into the barrel for withdrawing the control tumbler into the barrel.

  • Patent number: 4976123
    Abstract: A key-activated removeable cylinder lock is disclosed. The lock has a lock barrel including a plurality of combinating tumblers disposed therein for movement between a first resting position and a second activated position. The barrel further includes a control tumbler having a first end and a second opposite end. The control tumbler is slidably disposed between a first resting position and a second activated position. In the resting position, the first end is extended relative to the barrel. In the activated position, the first end is retracted relative to the barrel. A housing rotatably removably receives the barrel therein. The housing further has an internal longitudinal slot formed therein extending from a forward end thereof. An annular clearance space is located rearwardly of the slot and is in communicaiton therewith for accommodating extension of the first end of the control tumbler in the resting position, whereby rotational movement of the barrel in the housing is permitted.
