  • Patent number: 7748512
    Abstract: A container lock with a housing and, positioned in it, a bolt that can be displaced by actuating a handle, with an insertion shaft for inserting a coin, with a scanning device for scanning the diameter of the coin inserted into the insertion shaft as far as a scanning position, where the scanning device interacts with a blocking device in such a way that the bolt can be displaced only with a coin having a correct diameter. It is proposed that the scanning device should configure a fixing jaw, which securely grips the coin that is inserted in the insertion shaft so that it is partly accessible from outside in the scanning position with the bolt pre-locked to prevent its withdrawal.

  • Patent number: 5576526
    Abstract: A closure system having card keys (K) which are adapted to be issued in coded form, the broad-side surfaces of which are divided into individual fields (E) which can be differently magnetically coded for the individual locks/card-holders and move correspondingly positioned magnetic locking pins (31) as tumblers of the lock (4) into open position; for the broadening, in particular, of their purpose of use, a service station (SA) re-codes data identification individual fields (E1) of the key (K), increasing or decreasing their value, and an evaluation station is provided having a reader for noting and storing these re-codings in association with other codings of the card key (K).

  • Patent number: 5546778
    Abstract: A closure system composed of a lock and several keys in which the closing of the lock, determined by magnetically controlled tumblers can be modified by a repositioning of at least one tumbler member within the lock to the code of a subsequent key, and in order to obtain a solution which is particularly advantageous with respect to construction and security, the tumbler member (33, 33') is developed as an adjusting part associated with the recoding magnet (42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 48, 49) in such a manner that the tumbler insertion opening (40, 50, 51) for the recoding magnet can be displaced out of the aligned position with respect to the recoding magnet.

  • Patent number: 5339661
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a magnetic card lock with key card which can be inserted into an insertion shaft with gripping opening, the key card being first insertable up to a first stop position, and in which position the key code is requested, and thereupon displaceable by an actuation distance up into the second stop position; in order to obtain a solution which is particularly easily manipulated, it proposes that the broad surface of the key card on its end facing away from the direction of insertion have a visibly differentiated first partial surface (100) which fills up the surface of the gripping opening (107) and is visible in the second stop position.

  • Patent number: 5291766
    Abstract: A lock with locking function released by inserting a key card with a magnetized region, in which the end edge (8') of the key card (8) drives a slide (25) which is released by the magnetic tumbler pins (31). There is at least one member which is displaceable by the movement of the slide, one end of the member scanning a profile of the key card (8). The member comprises a pin (62) which is tapered on both ends, the pin being displaceable parallel to the tumbler pins (31) in a borehole (61) in the slide (25) within a region which is free of the magnetic tumbler pins (31).

  • Patent number: 5264685
    Abstract: A device for coding key cards for magnetically operating locks and the incorporating of such a device which is as simple as possible plus the corresponding key cards in an entrance control system. The key card has, in addition to the locking code, a second identity coding, both of the codings being produced, insofar as possible, in a single passage through the device.

  • Patent number: 5074135
    Abstract: The invention refers to a system for the use of locks of hotel room doors, lockers of bathhouses or similar facilities, having a central delivery station located in the region of an entrance station of the hotel, bathhouse or the like for the issuance of locking elements (keys) each of which fits a given lock of the different doors, lockers or the like, and a locking-element return device which is located in the region of an exit station and scans the locking element and evaluates it, for instance, with respect to a change for use, said return device being connected for data to the delivery station, and in order to obtain optimum handling, it proposes that the locking element bear an additional code (for instance a bar code) in order to trace its path of use.

  • Patent number: 5072604
    Abstract: A closure system consists of lock and several keys in which the closing of the lock, determined by mechanically or magnetically controllable tumblers, is variable in such a manner that a closure code of the lock which corresponds initially to the coding of the first key can be varied by rearrangement of at least one tumbler element (28) within the lock, in response to the coding of a successor key. This negates need for a tool or hand knob. Displacement of the tumbler element (28) be effected by means of the corresponding successor key (36) in the manner that successor keys (36) are divided into a first region (A) associated exclusively with a closure code of the tumblers and a second supplementation region E which enters into action when the first region agrees with the closure code of the tumblers. This shifts the tumbler element (28) into the position acted on by the supplementation region of the next successor key.

  • Patent number: 5057830
    Abstract: A locking device on doors is provided with inner and outer escutcheons (2, 3) and having a lock (5) which is arranged between the two escutcheons to permit actuation from the inside and outside. In order to obtain a substantial advantage by remote inquiry of the locking condition and/or storage of locking conditions which have taken place, the locking device has a simple construction, including at least one switch disk (19, 19a) which is entrained upon the actuation of the lock and contact or switch (S1, S2) associated with the switch disk in order to produce electric recording signals concerning an actuation of the lock and/or inside and outside interrogation takes place.

  • Patent number: 5020346
    Abstract: A permutation lock, particularly for storage compartments, has a variable combination such that an opening combination corresponds to a combination to which the lock was set by advancement of the bolt into the locked position. The lock has an emergency opening mechanism which can be activated and deactivated by key actuation. To increase the security value with simple actuation of the permutation lock, the emergency opening mechanism can be deactivated only by means of a reactivation key which can be inserted into a lock cylinder.

  • Patent number: 4987758
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a lock (3) on the inside of a door, wherein the lock can be actuated from outside the door. The lock is connected to a locking device (14) on the outer side of the door by a coupling rod (12). In order to increase protection against burglaries, the coupling rod (12) is to pass through a channel (22) with which a channel closure jaw (28) is associated. The jaw is supported on the coupling rod (12) and is under spring-load in the direction of closure. Removal of the coupling rod during a burglary attempt results in a closure of the channel with protection of the lock from tampering by the jaw.
