Description

Electrically Controlled Lock For A Safe Technical Field The invention concerns an electrically controlled lock for a safe having a magnetic lever which can be supported on an electrically excitable holding magnet and moved by external forces, as well as a door bearing a closing hook, whereby the closing hook enters the lock housed in the safe case and is retained therein by a locking device.
Prior Art An electrically controlled lock for a safe is known from DE
196 43 754 which is housed in the case of a safe. The door of the safe has a closing hook entering into the lock which is held by a rotating door lock. A key slide in the lock which is supported on the safe door controls a cross slide which takes along both the door closer and a magnetic lever.
Description of the Invention The object of the invention is to reduce the number of parts in a lock of this type and to simplify the operation of the lock and render it more secure.
According to the invention, this is accomplished thereby that a locking block provided with a stopper serves as locking device, said locking block being coupled with a magnetic lever and moved by a control cam which lies in the path of the closing hook.

Description of the Drawincxs Examples of embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 - 15 of the drawings.
Fig. 1 shows the lock in the closing state, Fig. 2 the interrogation when compartment door is pressed, Fig. 3 the view after unlocking, Fig. 4 the state when deposit box removed, Fig. 5 the closing hook and important components in the unlocked state, Fig. 6 the parts in an interim stage of locking, Fig. 7 the closed state, Fig. 8 the entire lock during the closing operation, Fig. 9 the corresponding view in the locked state, Fig. 10 the interrogation state, Fig. 11 the opening state when magnet excited, Fig. 12 the status when door is open and deposit box locked, Fig. 13 the same when deposit box is unlocked, Fig. 14 a keylock for the safe deposit box, Fig. 15 a cross-section through the safe.

In Fig. 1, the closing hook which is fastened to the inner side of the door is designated with 1. It projects into the lock 2 anchored in the safe case 20 in Fig. 15. A stopper 3 holds the hook 1 in position. 4 and 5 designate microswitches whose operation will be described later. Fig. 1 shows the position in which the compartment door is closed. The microswitch 4 is not operated, the lever of the switch 5 is pushed in.
When pressure is exerted on the compartment door in direction of arrow 26 according to Fig. 2, then the closing hook 1 moves to the right for interrogation. The stopper 3 is thereby pushed upward.
When the compartment door is released, then the closing hook 3 jsicJ travels out of the lock 2 under spring pressure as shown in Fig. 3. A slide actuates the microswitch 4.
Fig. ~ shows the condition when the deposit box is removed.
When the bolt of the lock of the deposit box comes out of the lock 2, a slide switch 6 falls downward and the microswitch 5 is activated.
In Figs. 5 - 7, some important parts for the lock operation are shown in their interaction.
Fig. 5 shows, in addition to the closing hook 1, the stopper 3 which sits on a locking block 7. The latter is moved by a control cam 8. An alarm slide 9 is coupled with the control cam 8. Its cam 9a actuates the microswitch 4.
As Fig. 6 shows, the closing hook 1 pushes against the control cam 8 when the lock is interrogated and moves it toward the right. A pin 8a of the control cam 8 thereby pushes the locking block 7 upward. The bolt 8 thereby slides along the control curve 7a of the locking block 7. The control cam 8 takes the alarm slide 9 along via a coupling with freewheeling. This freewheeling is produced between parts 8b and 9b.
Fig. 7 shows the lower end position of the locking block 7 in which the stopper 3 rests completely in the closing hook 1.
A freewheeling 10 formed by the parts 8b and 9b between the control cam 8 and the alarm slide 9 results therein that the changeover does not take place until the door is securely locked.
A cam 7b of the locking block 7 moves the alarm slide 9 by means of a diagonal square-headed pin 9c into the right end position when the locking block 7 falls downward.
Fig. 8 shows the lock during the closing operation. When the closing hook 1 is pressed, it moves the control cam 8 to the right against the force of a spring 11. The locking block 7 can thereby travel downward with the stopper 3 under the force of a further spring 12. The drawing shows an intermediate position in which the stopper 3 just blocks the closing hook 1. The magnetic lever 10 is swung about the bearing pin 13 to the left. Its magnetic anchor l0a has already cleared the yoke of the unexcited electromagnet 14. The alarm slide 9 just holds the microswitch 4 closed.
The compartment door is completely locked in Fig. 9. The stopper 3 holds the closing hook 1 in position. The locking block 7 assumes the lower end position, the anchor l0a of the magnetic lever l0 is completely lifted. A cam 7b on the locking block 7 moves the alarm slide 9 via the diagonal square-headed pin 9c into its right end position in which it releases the microswitch 4.
Fig. 10 shows the interrogation stage. The closing hook 1 is pushed in completely. The control cam 8 has pushed the locking block 7 with the stopper 3 upward via its pin 8a. The magnetic lever 10 is swung to the right, so that the anchor l0a lies on the yoke of the electromagnet.
When a current pulse is now applied, as per Fig. 11, and the anchor l0a is held in position, locking block 7 and stopper 3 remain in the shown upper end position, so that the closing hook 1 can freely come out. The tensed spring 11 causes the control cam 8 to be moved to the left and thereby strikes the closing hook 1 with the compartment door. The control cam 8 takes the alarm slide 9 along with delay, as a result of which the microswitch 4 is actuated.
In a preferred embodiment according to Figs. 14 and 15, the deposit box of the safe is provided, in addition, with a keylock whose bolt enters laterally into the housing of the lock 2.
Fig. 12 shows the open safe lock 2 on the left and, on the right, in cross section, the lock 2 with the retracted deposit box bolt 15 which has pushed a slide switch 6 upward. The microswitch 5 is actuated.
Fig. 13 shows the lock 2 when the deposit box bolt 15 is lowered. A spring 7 pushes the slide switch downward, as a result of which the lever 5a of the microswitch is released.
The object of the microswitch 5 is to notify a central monitoring system of the unlocking of the deposit box. It is also indicated in this way when the compartment door is being closed without a deposit box having been inserted.
The two microswitches 4 and 5 make it possible to not only monitor the normal operation but also defective operations and attempts at forcing it open.
If, during an attempt to forcibly open it, the closing hook 1 travels out, the control cam 8 and the alarm slide 9 are moved by the spring il. The microswitch 4 is actuated and the alarm releases countermeasures.

Fig. 14 shows the lock and the bascule drive pulled apart. 19 designates a keylock whose bolt 15 travels out to the left.
A swivel 24 which has a recess 24a at the bottom is pivoted on the pin 25a of a plate bar. Diametrically opposite thereto, a driver 24b is formed which engages in the recess 22a of a bascule rod 22. This bascule rod 22, supported so as to be movable in the plate bar 25, penetrates a lock plate of the right deposit box 23 with its right end. A pin inserted into the bolt serves as a coupling between the bolt 15 and the swivel 24, said pin engaging in the recess 24a via an elongated hole in the base of the housing.
If the bolt 15 is moved to the left with aid of the appropriate key, the swivel 24 turns in clockwise direction.
The bascule rod 22 travels to the right into the locked position.
The parts 22, 24 are, if necessary, placed on the back of the lock 19 from the outside and only occupy a little room since they are kept very flat. The lock 19 is here shown as a double-bit lock.
Fig. 15 shows the cross-section through the arrangement. The deposit box is designated with 21, the side walls with 21a and 21b. The electrically controlled lock of the safe 2 is housed in the left case 20 of the safe.
The double-bit lock 19 is screwed together with the front wall of the deposit box 21. The bolt 15 is extended and penetrates the side wall 21a, the case 20 and the housing of the lock 2.
The plate bar 25 surrounds the swivel 24 and a part of the bascule rod 22. This rod penetrates through the side wall 21b into the right case 23. Thus, the deposit box is securely locked on both sides.

Industrial Applicability Locks for safes of the described type are built in in safe systems having many compartments. The electromagetically controlled locks are preferably electrically released by a security manager before whom the renter of a box identifies himself. The renter opens the door when a break pulse is applied by pressure to the surface and then unlocks the box lock with his key.
After placing something into the box or removing something from it, the renter pushes the deposit box in, locks it, pulls the key out and closes the door.
Every incomplete or irregular operation, is indicated in the central system via the microswitches.
