  • Patent number: 10100555
    Abstract: An arrangement for a lock is provided, comprising a stator, a rotor, which is rotatably arranged in the stator, and a set of elements arranged in the rotor for cooperating with the stator, which elements each have an opening and which elements are arranged successively in the longitudinal direction of the rotor and the openings of which together form a through hole for receiving a key, each of the elements being readjustably arranged, independently of each other, between a state which upon actuation is blocking and a state which upon the same actuation is releasing. The disclosure further concerns a key, which has a body along which a plurality of projections are arranged, the plurality of projections all being arranged in a common plane and the plurality of projections all having the same height and defining together the profile of the key.

  • Patent number: 9441398
    Abstract: A lock includes a first lock part and a second lock part which is rotatably arranged in the first lock part and includes a plurality of lock elements for cooperation with the first lock part and a key. First and second groups of lock elements have a first position relative to the second lock part absent actuation of the key and are moved from the first position into a third position via a second intermediate position, and to prevent rotation of the second lock part in a first position. The lock elements in the first group are arranged to prevent rotation of the second lock part from a second position and, in the third position, allow rotation of the second lock part. Likewise, each lock element in the second group allow rotation of the second lock part and, in the third position, prevent rotation of the second lock part.
