EA045458B1 - ECCENTRIC PIN CORE ASSEMBLY AND ITS APPLICATION IN A CYLINDER LOCK - Google Patents

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an improved cylinder lock. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cylinder lock in which an eccentric core pin assembly with two contact points within a keyhole can be independently moved within the core toward a common shear line adjacent to a single inserted column pin assembly.

Cylinder locks typically contain a cylinder housing and a core that can rotate within the housing. A plurality of core pins are typically located in the core, and the plurality of these pins are biased by springs relative to pins located in the cylindrical casing. When the appropriate key is inserted into the lock, the core pins are forced to be height-aligned within the core and the casing pins are pressed against the springs into a columnar portion extending radially from the casing so that the shear line is not blocked (by any pin) and the core can be rotated within the cylindrical casing in order to lock or unlock the lock.

Entrance locks must permit entry by persons authorized to enter and must also have specific key profiles to prevent the unauthorized creation of duplicate keys by a person not authorized to enter or by a person not authorized to create a duplicate key. Additionally, various secret institutions require keys with a large number of combinations that are difficult to duplicate in order to prevent unauthorized entry.

Modern flat-blade keys have indentations of varying depths in the key blade or, for high-security entries, have different shaped holes. Additionally, there are keys having a variety of shapes, such as keys with a circular cross-section and keys having outward protruding elements; all of them are designed to prevent unauthorized access and/or unauthorized creation of a duplicate key.

The invention provided in this application solves these problems.

Detailed description

Provided herein are embodiments of a cylinder lock in which an eccentric core pin assembly with two contact points within a keyhole is capable of moving within the core toward a common shear line adjacent to a single inserted column pin assembly.

The term connected, including its various forms such as operably connected, connecting or capable of connecting, refers to and includes any direct or indirect structural connection, connection or attachment, or adaptation or capability for such direct or indirect structural or functional connection, connection or fasteners, including components formed as a single unit and components connected by or through another component or by a molding process. An indirect connection may include a connection by means of an intermediate member or adhesive, or a position of abutment or other abutment by friction or by separate devices without any physical connection.

Additionally, the term shearable or shear-coupled refers to the movement of one surface (eg, a valve assembly) over another surface (eg, a body) while maintaining smooth, continuous contact between the two surfaces. In a different

- 2045458 embodiment, the term slidably connected means a state in which two or more components are connected to each other in such a way that at least one of the components (for example, an inserted column pin assembly) is at least sliding relative to the other component (for example , post holes). Likewise, the terms shear, shear, or shear refer to movement, sliding, or passing along or through a surface, although continuous contact at every point along the path is not a requirement.

The term interlock and its various forms refer to the application of any force that tends to hold the interlocking components together, counteracting unintended or unwanted separating forces (such as those that may be encountered when using a lock). It should be understood, however, that cohesion does not in all cases require a mutually interlocking relationship to be maintained under any plausible type or magnitude of separating force.

The terms abut or abut should not be construed to mean merely that the respective parts are intended to touch. Instead, the term adjacent means that any residual space between adjacent components will not negate or nullify the intended effect of the adjacent components.

A more complete understanding of the components and devices disclosed herein may be obtained by reference to the accompanying graphics. These figures (also abbreviated herein to FIG. ) are merely schematic representations based on convenience and ease of demonstrating the present invention, and, therefore, are not intended to indicate the relative size and dimensions of the devices or components thereof, the relationship of their sizes and/or to define or limit the scope of illustrative embodiments. Although specific terms are used in the following description for the sake of clarity, these terms are intended only to refer to the specific structure of the embodiments selected for illustration in the drawings and are not intended to define or limit the scope of the invention. In the graphics and description below, it should be understood that similar numerals refer to components having a similar function. Likewise, cross sections refer to an orthogonal normal coordinate system having XYZ axes, where the Y axis refers to the front-back directions, the X-axis refers to the left-right directions, and the Z axis refers to the up-down directions.

Next let's look at FIG. 1A-1C, which depict an embodiment of a cylinder lock 100 comprising a core 102 having an axial keyhole 103 and a plurality of core holes 114p extending radially from and communicating with the axial keyhole 103. As shown in FIG. 1A, the core 102 is selectively rotatable within the cylindrical body 101. The cylindrical body 101 includes a post 105 with a plurality (in other words, two and/or more) post holes 106i extending radially from the (rotating) core 102 and communicating with the core 102. As shown in FIG. 1B, the core pin assembly 300A is slidably movable within a core hole 114p comprising at least two non-concentric interlocking proximal ends 302, 312 configured to engage a key 700 (see, for example, FIG. 1C) having at least two engagement areas 703, 704 slide along the longitudinal axis X _1106i of the core hole 114 _p (which is also the longitudinal axis defined by the post holes 106i), towards the shear line 10 adjacent to the single inserted post pin assembly 200A located in the corresponding hole 106i of the column, which has a serial number i. In fig. 1B also depicts a stopper 108 located at the distal end of each post hole 106i and a first biasing member 107 located within each post hole 106i sized and configured to bias the inserted post pin assembly 200A toward the core 102.

As shown in FIG. 1C, the core 102 having a distal end 1025 and having a flange 1024 and a proximal end 1023 with a radial slot 104 may define a longitudinal axis X1 and may be divided into segments 1021 _q having a curved outer surface, the segments being separated by rings 1022 _r . Likewise, the post 105 of the cylindrical body 101 may include segments 1051k separated by ribs 1052m such that the proximal ends of the post ribs 1052m are configured to abut the rings _1022r of the core 102, which, together with the curved outer surface of the segments 1021q, reduce friction between core 102 and cylindrical body 101, thereby facilitating operation of the cylinder lock 100.

In one embodiment, the inserted column pin assembly 200A includes: an axially discontinuous cylindrical body 201 (see, for example, FIGS. 6A-6D, which relate to a cylinder with a partial wall spanning the height of the cylinder along its longitudinal axis) defining a longitudinal axis and having a closed distal end 202 and an open proximal end 204, wherein the closed distal end 202 defines a concentric opening 203, wherein the axially discontinuous cylindrical body 201 is sized and configured to accommodate

- 3 045458 an axially movable piston 205. The piston 205 (in other words, the inserted component) has a head 206 with a flat proximal end 209 and a rod 207 extending distally from the head 206. As depicted, the rod 207 is sized and configured allowing it to extend distally beyond the opening 203 formed in the axially discontinuous cylindrical body 201 of the inserted column pin assembly 200A. The inserted column pin assembly 200A further includes a spring 208 sized to fit over (in other words, to surround, like a sleeve) a rod 207 located distal to the head portion 206 of the piston 205 between the head portion 206 and the underside of the axially interrupted direction of the cylindrical body 201, while the spring 208 is configured to displace the piston 205 from the axially interrupted cylindrical body 201 within the tube 211 (see, for example, FIG. 2A) formed by the axially interrupted cylindrical body 201.

Next let's look at FIG. 1A-4B, which depict embodiments of a cylinder lock 100, a key 700, an inserted column pin assembly 200A, and a core pin assembly 300A. As shown for example in FIG. 2C, the core pin assembly 300A includes: an axially discontinuous cylindrical body 301 defining a longitudinal axis X _L and having a proximal end 302 and an open distal end 303, wherein the axially discontinuous cylindrical body 301 further defines a shoulder 304 located distal to clearance 305 in the axially discontinuous cylindrical body 301, wherein the proximal end 302 of the axially discontinuous cylindrical body 301 is sized, shaped and configured to engage in the main engagement region 703 (see, for example, FIG. 4A) on the blade 701 of the key 700. In FIG. 2C also shows a shuttle member 306 slidably coupled to an axially discontinuous cylindrical body 301. For example, the shuttle member 306 may include a concentric member 307 having a distal end 318 and a proximal end 3181, and a non-concentric member 310 extending radially and proximally (or downwardly) from the proximal end 3181 of the concentric element 306, wherein the non-concentric element 310 includes a distal end 308 and a proximal end 312 of a pin 311 having a shape, size and configuration that allows them to engage in a secondary engagement region 704 on the blade 701 key 700, wherein the non-concentric element 310 extends radially from the concentric element 307 at a predetermined angle θ relative to the longitudinal axis X _L701 (see, for example, FIGS. 1C, 3A) formed by the blade 701 of the key 700.

Possible configurations that may allow or disable rotation of the core 102 in the cylinder lock body 101 along the shear line 10 are depicted in FIG. 2A-2D. As shown in FIG. 2A, the irregular key blade 701 is inserted into the keyhole 103 and engages the proximal ends 302 and 312. As depicted, the correctly configured secondary engagement region 704 engages the proximal end 312 of the pin 311 of the non-concentric member 310, thereby moving axially non-concentric element 310, causing the distal end 318 of the concentric element 307 to move axially in the interrupted cylindrical body 301 against the proximal end 209 of the head part 206 of the piston 205, thereby compressing the spring 208 causing the proximal end 209 of the head part 206 of the piston 20 5 level up relative to the boundary formed by the distal end 318 of the concentric element 307 along the shear line 10. However, since in this example, the main engagement area 703 is improperly configured (not deep enough), it engages the proximal end 302 of the interrupted barrel body 301, causing the distal end 303 of the interrupted barrel body 301 of the core pin assembly 300A to abut the proximal end end 204 of the interrupted cylindrical body 201 of the inserted column pin assembly 200A and move the interrupted cylindrical body 201 along an axis in a distal direction (in other words, away from the core 102) into the post hole 106i against the first biasing element 107 and indirectly against the stopper 108, effectively inserting a part the interrupted cylindrical body 301 into the corresponding post hole 106i having a serial number i, thereby breaking the shear line 10 and preventing the rotation of the core 102 in the cylinder lock body 101.

Similarly, as shown in FIG. 2B, the incorrect key blade 701 is inserted into the keyhole 103 and engages the proximal ends 302 and 312. As depicted, the misconfigured secondary engagement region 704 (cut too deep) engages the proximal end 312 of the non-concentric pin 311 element 310, thereby axially moving the non-concentric element 310, causing the distal end 318 of the concentric element 307 to move axially in the interrupted cylindrical body 301 against the proximal end 209 of the head portion 206 of the piston 205, thereby insufficiently compressing the spring 208, effectively allowing the spring 208 displace the proximal end 209 of the head portion 206 of the piston 205 to move forward the boundary formed by the distal end 318 of the concentric element 307 and the proximal end 209 of the head portion 206 of the piston 205 beyond the shear line 10, causing the head portion 206 of the piston 205 to enter the interrupted cylindrical body 301 pin

- 4 045458 th node 300A core. In addition, the main engagement area 703 having an irregular configuration (not deep enough) engages the proximal end 302 of the interrupted cylindrical body 301, causing the distal end 303 of the interrupted cylindrical body 301 of the core pin assembly 300A to abut the proximal end 204 of the interrupted cylindrical body 201 inserted columnar pin assembly 200A and move the interrupted cylindrical body 201 along an axis in a distal direction (in other words, away from the core 102) into the column hole 106i against the first bias element 107 and indirectly against the stopper 108, effectively inserting a portion of the interrupted cylindrical body 301 of the pin assembly 300A of the core into the corresponding post hole 106i having serial number i, thereby breaking the shear line 10 and preventing the core 102 from rotating in the cylinder lock body 101.

On the contrary, in FIG. 2C depicts an embodiment in which the correct key blade 701 is inserted into the keyhole 103 and engages the proximal ends 302 and 312. As depicted, the properly configured secondary engagement region 704 engages the proximal end 312 of the non-concentric member pin 311 310, thus moving in the axial direction the non -center element 310, prompting the far end of the 318 concentric element 307 to move in the axial direction in the interrupted cylindrical case 301 of the pin node 300a core close to the near 209 head of the piston 205, thus squeezing the springs 208, which encourages the spring 208, prompting the proximal end 209 of the head portion 206 of the piston 205 is aligned with the boundary formed by the distal end 318 of the concentric element 307 along the shear line 10. Likewise, the main engagement area 703 having the correct configuration engages the proximal end 302 of the interrupted cylindrical body 301 of the core pin assembly 300A, causing the distal end 303 of the interrupted cylindrical body 301 of the core pin assembly 300A to abut the proximal end 204 of the interrupted cylindrical body 201 in set columnar pin assembly 200A and move the interrupted cylindrical body 201 along an axis in a distal direction (in other words, away from the core 102) against the first biasing element 107 and indirectly against the stopper 108, thereby aligning the boundary formed by the distal end 303 of the interrupted cylindrical pin body 301 core assembly 300A and the proximal end 204 of the interrupted cylindrical body 201 of the inserted column pin assembly 200A, with a shear line 10, thereby allowing rotation of the core 102 in the cylinder lock body 101.

Another embodiment is shown in FIG. 4D. As depicted, the main engaging region 703 having the correct configuration engages the proximal end 302 of the interrupted cylindrical body 301, causing the distal end 303 of the interrupted cylindrical body 301 of the core pin assembly 300A to abut the proximal end 204 of the interrupted cylindrical body 201 of the inserted columnar pin assembly 20 0A and move the interruptible cylindrical body 201 along an axis in a distal direction (in other words, away from the core 102) against the first biasing element 107 and indirectly against the stopper 108, thereby aligning the boundary formed by the distal end 303 of the interruptible cylindrical body 301 and the proximal end 204 of the interruptible a cylindrical body 201 inserted a columnar pin assembly 200A, with a shear line 10. However, the misconfigured secondary engagement region 704 (too deep cut) engages the proximal end 312 of the pin 311 of the non-concentric member 310, thereby axially moving the non-concentric member 310 while causing the distal end 318 of the concentric member 307 not to move axially direction a sufficient distance in the interrupted cylindrical body 301 against the proximal end 209 of the head portion 206 of the piston 205 such that the spring 208 is not sufficiently compressed, effectively allowing the spring 208 to displace the proximal end 209 of the head portion 206 of the piston 205, causing it to move forward the boundary formed by the distal end 318 of the concentric member 307 beyond the shear line 10, causing the head portion 206 of the piston 205 to engage the interrupted cylindrical body 301 of the core pin assembly 300A and preventing the core 102 from rotating in the cylinder lock body 101.

As shown in FIG. 2A-2D, a boundary formed by the distal end 303 of the interrupted cylindrical body 301 of the core pin assembly 300A and the proximal end 204 of the interrupted cylindrical body 201 of the inserted columnar pin assembly 200A; and the boundary formed by the distal end 318 of the concentric element 307 and the proximal end 209 of the head portion 206 of the piston 205 are capable of moving axially independently of each other by interlocking the main region 703 and the non-concentric secondary region 704, and only the correct configuration of both boundaries will result in the formation continuous shear line 10, allowing rotation of the core 102 in the cylinder lock body 101.

Next let's look at FIG. 1C and 3A-3C, which depict various embodiments of the spatial configuration of a non-concentric element 310 extending radially from a concentric element 307 at a predetermined angle θ relative to the longitudinal axis X _L701 , about

- 5 045458 formed by the blade 701 of the key 700. In addition, each core hole 114 _P receiving one of the pin assemblies 300A (see, for example, Fig. 1IB), 300B (see, for example, Fig. 6C), 300C (see ., for example, Fig. 6B), 300D (see, for example, Fig. 6D), 300E (see, for example, Fig. 7B) or 300F (see, for example, Fig. 6A) of the core, may further comprise an axial a channel 1141 extending radially from the core hole 114 _P at the same predetermined angle θ relative to the longitudinal axis X _L701 formed by the blade 701 of the key 700. The axial channel 1141 has a radial cross-section (in other words, a cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the channel), the size, shape and configuration of which may allow it to provide axial movement of the non-concentric element 310. As depicted, the predetermined angle θ can be from about 15° to about 165° with respect to the longitudinal axis X _L701 formed by the blade 701 of the key 700. This will significantly increase the number of configurations cutouts of the combination of cylinder lock 100 and key 700. As shown in FIG. 3B and 3C, the axial channel 1141 may be shaped to permit axial movement (along the longitudinal axis of the axial channel 1141), such as by having a cross-section configured to complement the cross-section of the non-concentric member 322 of the core pin assembly 300D (see, for example, FIG. 6D).

Accordingly, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6D, 4C and 4D, the core pin assembly 300D may comprise: an axially discontinuous cylindrical body 301 of a core pin assembly 300D defining a longitudinal axis X _L and having a proximal end 302 and an open distal end 303, wherein the axially discontinuous cylindrical body 301 is additionally defines a shoulder 304 distal to the lumen 305 in the axially discontinuous cylindrical body 301 of the core pin assembly 300D, wherein the proximal end 302 of the axially discontinuous cylindrical body 301 of the core pin assembly 300D is sized, shaped, and configured to engage the main engagement area 703 (see, for example, FIG. 4C) on the blade 701 of the key 700. The core pin assembly 300D may further comprise a shuttle member 306 slidably coupled to an axially discontinuous cylindrical body 301 (of the pin assembly 300D core), wherein the shuttle element 306 includes: a concentric element 307 having a distal end 318 and a proximal end 3181, and a non-concentric element 322 connected radially by an elongated portion 309, wherein the non-concentric element 322 has a distal end 308 and extends in a radial direction from the concentric element 307 at a predetermined angle θ relative to the longitudinal axis X _L701 formed by the blade 701 of the key 700, and wherein the non-concentric element 322 forms a conical cylinder with a proximal end 323 having a shape, size and configuration for engagement with the secondary engagement area 707 on the key 700, the non-concentric member 322 having an oval cross-section with a major axis W ₃₂₂ that is greater than the width W ₃₀₉ of the elongated portion 309. Additionally, as an additional safety measure, the major axis W ₃₂₂ may be positioned at a predetermined angle α relative to the longitudinal axis X _L309 formed by the elongated portion 309, while the longitudinal axis X _L309 formed by the elongated portion 309 can be offset at the same predetermined angle θ relative to the longitudinal axis X _L701 formed by the blade 701 of the key 700 (see, for example, FIG. 4C). In this case, the predetermined angle θ can also be from about 15° to about 165° with respect to the longitudinal axis XL701 formed by the blade 701 of the key 700, while the predetermined angle α can be from about 0° to about 90° with respect to the longitudinal axis X _L309 formed by the elongated portion 309 (see, for example, FIGS. 4C, 4D and 6D). In addition, since the non-concentric element 322 has an oval cross-section, the tapered proximal end 323 may be truncated (see, for example, FIG. 6D), thereby forming an elongated beveled edge 2321 such that the secondary region 703 takes the form of an inclined groove 707, which is shaped, sized and configured to engage the elongated beveled edge 2321.

Other embodiments of a core pin assembly 300 are provided, such as a core pin assembly 300B (see, for example, FIGS. 5B and 6C) that includes an axially discontinuous cylindrical core pin assembly 300B body 301 defining a longitudinal axis X _L and having a proximal end 302 and an open distal end 303, wherein the axially discontinuous cylindrical body 301 further defines a shoulder 304 located distally relative to the lumen 305 in the axially discontinuous cylindrical body 301 of the pin core assembly 300B, wherein the proximal end 302 of the axially discontinuous cylindrical The housing 301 of the core pin assembly 300B is sized, shaped and configured to engage the main engagement area 703 (see, for example, FIG. 4C) on the blade 701 of the key 700. The core pin assembly 300B further includes a shuttle member 306, slidably connected to the axially discontinuous cylindrical body 301 of the core pin assembly 300B. The shuttle element 306 may include a concentric element 307 having a distal end 318 and a proximal end 3181.
