  • Patent number: 6494068
    Abstract: A lock core assembly. The assembly includes an external cylinder, an inner cylinder rotatably fitted in the external cylinder, alignment elements provided in the inner cylinder, at least a limiting element provided in the external cylinder able to engage with the alignment elements, and a key to be inserted into the inner cylinder to move the alignment elements to an unlocking state with the limiting element. When the engaging member is detached, the limiting element is separated from the external cylinder, and then the original coupling of the key and the limiting element are substituted by another coupling of a key and a limiting element, such that, when a user loses his key, he can have the lock core assembly repaired without changing the entire lock set.

  • Patent number: 6058750
    Abstract: An improved lock structure, and especially a lock structure in which a stepped shaped wall of the key hole in the lock core can be cooperated with a key to allow the key to be drawn out regardless of its angular position. The lock core can also be rotated from an unlocking position to a locking position without the key; convenience thus is increased. Besides, a plurality of pusher pins are allocated in multiple directions to increase the difficulty of unlocking by a thief, this can thereby increase theft-proof effect.
