  • Patent number: 7712340
    Abstract: A lock includes a body, a key-operated core in the body, two spring-biased plates slideable on a recessed portion of the body, and a locking crutch to be fastened to the body with the spring-biased plates. The body has crutch embedding holes on two sides of the core; the core has a plate part, and force is applied to the spring-biased plates through the plate part when the core is turned. The locking crutch has a groove on each of two ends to engage a corresponding plate. The plates are biased to engage the locking crutch when the core is in the locking position; and, the plates are forced to disengage from the locking crutch by turning the lock core to the unlocking position. Saw-resistant pins are inserted in receiving holes formed on a periphery of the lock body to protect the lock against a saw.

  • Publication number: 20060137416
    Abstract: A lock core reinforced structure device with two different metallic parts comprises a lock sleeve, a revolver and a gate. The lock sleeve provides disposition and combination of the revolver and includes some pin holes providing disposition of upper pinballs, springs and a stop pin. The revolver includes a key channel for insertion of a key and some pin holes providing disposition of lower pinballs. Additionally, the main body of the revolver is made of two different metallic materials combined together, where the front part of it is made of easily machined cast iron or copper and the rear part of it is made of steel material or heat treatment reinforced steel which has more structure strength. Furthermore, a gate room is formed beside an open end of the key channel and provides disposition of a gate and a spring, which is sealed and fixed by a keyhole cover. The gate is constantly pushed by the spring and moves upward to seal the open end of the key channel.
