Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a protection device for a cylinder lock mechanism and, more particularly, to such a device designed to adapt to such existing mechanisms, without modification thereof.
  • Cylinder lock mechanisms such as locks, in particular those fixed on entry doors to residential premises, are frequently subjected to attack by burglars.
  • These locks ordinarily comprise a cylinder or barrel passing through the door and fixed by screws or other fixing means on a support plate inside the housing of the lock mechanism.
  • burglars commonly use the process which consists in blowing up the cylinder by shearing or tearing off the fixing screws, so as to be able to access the latch mechanism.
  • the necessary shearing or tearing is obtained, for example, by applying a torque to the cylinder using pliers. This process can only be used if the cylinder protrudes sufficiently from the surface of the door.
  • a second method consists in forcibly introducing a member screwing into the hole of the cylinder to wedge this member in this hole and then applying an axial tensile force to the cylinder, by means of this member, to break and / or tear off the screws. fixing the cylinder.
  • a third method consists in tearing off the bolt by applying axial percussion on the cylinder.
  • a fourth method of aggression consists in attacking the bolt by drilling the cylinder or the organs of the lock.
  • a lock has been designed, the projecting cylinder of which is covered with a reinforced fixed ring, a washer closing the end of the ring, facing the free end of the cylinder.
  • the washer is pierced with a slot for the passage of the lock key and it is coupled in rotation to the rotating part of the cylinder by a stud so that a key passed through the slot of the washer and into the hole in the cylinder. can turn. If we now try to force the lock by inserting a screw member into the slot in the washer, the torque applied by the screw member shears the stud at the end of its travel of the rotating part of the cylinder.
  • the washer then turns mad in the fixed ring and it is not possible to engage with the cylinder or to apply axial traction to it, like a corkscrew. However, it is still possible to shear the cylinder fixing screws by axial percussion of the latter.
  • Document US-A-3,083,563 also discloses a lock protection device placed behind a door to be protected and comprising a washer which, under the effect of percussion, is applied against the end of a lock cylinder secured to a plate fixed to the door by bolts. The impact forces are thus transmitted to the door by the heads of these bolts, the surface of which is small, which does not allow effective resistance to these impact forces to be ensured.
  • Document CH-A-667 689 is also known, having served as a basis for the preamble of claim 1, a protective assembly for cylinder lock passing through a door, using a rotating part covering the projecting end. of the cylinder. It is possible to block this piece by axial percussion which allows to attack then the lock by drilling.
  • the present invention therefore aims to provide a protection device for cylinder lock mechanism which is adaptable to any existing mechanism, without modification thereof.
  • the present invention also aims to achieve such a device designed to withstand the attacks to which the cylinder lock mechanisms are subjected, and in particular to the four types of attack mentioned above.
  • a protection device for a cylinder lock mechanism arranged to pass through a door on which the mechanism is mounted comprising a plate designed to be fixed. on the door so as to protect the free end of the cylinder which opens from one face of the door, a disc-shaped part pierced with an opening for the passage of a key and rotatably mounted in a housing formed in the thickness of the plate opposite the free end of the cylinder, this housing opening on the face of the plate which rests on the door, the bottom of the housing being pierced to allow the insertion of the key of the mechanism in the cylinder, through the opening of the part, characterized in that the diameter of the disc-shaped part is greater than that of the cylinder and in that this part is freely flush with the surface of the plate which is turn e towards the door, so as to increase the surface according to which percussive forces applied to the workpiece (2) are transmitted to the door.
  • the device comprises at least one counterplate inserted between the plate and the door to fill the projection of the cylinder on the door.
  • this plate is hollowed out with a recess designed to receive a protective plate, the latter being flush with the surface of the plate which faces the door.
  • the device which essentially comprises a plate 1 of generally rectangular shape in the embodiment shown, and a part 2 which, preferably, follows the shape a disc pierced with an opening 15 in the form of a diametrical slot or any other form allowing the insertion of a key.
  • the device consisting of the plate 1 and the disc 2 is designed to be mounted on one face of a door 3 equipped with a cylinder lock mechanism such as a lock, the housing of which is schematically represented in 4, with its bolt 5 and its control button 5 ′, on the other face of the door.
  • a cylinder 6 projects from the housing 4 to pass through the door.
  • the base 7 of the cylinder is fixed by screws or other fixing means on a support plate (not shown) inside the housing of the lock 4. It is these fixing means that must be protected from attack by burglars which act on the cylinder 6 to break them by applying shearing and / or tearing forces to them.
  • the plate 1 made for example of cast iron or of hardened and / or case-hardened steel so as to have a high surface hardness resistant to burglars' tools, has two square holes 8, 9 which cooperate with two bolts 10, 11 to blocking heads complementary to these holes, for fixing the plate to the door 3. Bores 8 ′, 9 ′ hollowed out in the plate 1 concentrically with the holes 8, 9 and in addition to the heads of the bolts prevent the engagement of a tool between the head and the plate.
  • one or more counterplates 12 can be inserted between the plate 1 and the door 3 to catch up with the projection of the cylinder 6, on the face 13 of the door 3 opposite to that which receives the housing of the lock.
  • the hole drilled in the counterplate for the passage of the cylinder may advantageously be of smaller area than that of the disc 2 placed opposite, to reinforce the resistance to sinking by percussion of the cylinder.
  • a housing 14 is formed in the thickness of the plate 1, to receive the disc 2 in rotation.
  • the plate 1 is mounted on the door 3 in a position such that the axis of the disc 2 is substantially collinear with that of the rotating part of the cylinder 6.
  • the housing 14 is circular, of diameter and thickness conforming to those of the disc, so that the latter can rotate freely in this housing. This free rotation is improved if the disc bears on the counterplate 12, as indicated above.
  • the bottom of the housing 14 is pierced with a flared hole 16 which gives access to the slot 15 of the disc 2, from the external surface of the plate 1.
  • a key can be introduced into the cylinder 6, through the hole 16 and the slot 15 of the disc 2.
  • the diameter of the disc 2 is substantially greater than that of the cylinder. Thanks to this arrangement, the resistance to axial percussion forces applied along the axis of arrow F is improved by the fact that these forces are collected by an area equal to that of the disc 2, much greater than that of the cross section of the cylinder 6.
  • the hole 16, circular, is flared outward to facilitate the insertion of the key into the cylinder, through the slot 15 of the disc 2 which is applied to the end of the cylinder where the key is to be inserted.
  • the increased surface of the disc 2 gives the assembly better resistance to axial percussion, and therefore to tearing and / or shearing forces.
  • the disc 2 which turns crazy, prevents the insertion and blocking in the cylinder of a screwing tool.
  • the tool hangs in the slot 15 of the disc and rotates with it without being able to catch on the cylinder. Any axial traction on the cylinder using such a tool is then prohibited.
  • the device according to the invention successfully opposes the four main attacks mentioned in the preamble.
  • this result is achieved with means (plate 1, disc 2, bolts 10, 11) which can be mounted on any commercially available cylinder lock mechanism already installed without any disassembly, adaptation or other modification of it.
  • This protection device thus has a universal character.
  • the device according to the invention can also be incorporated in a lock mechanism provided with means designed to cooperate with this device, such as for example support plates projecting from the mechanism housing and pierced with holes for the passage of bolts 10, 11. Such support plates strengthen the solidity of the structure.
  • the plate 1 can also be pierced with a hole for the passage of a square for the bolt control handle.
  • the manufacture of the slotted disc 2 can be facilitated by making and mounting in the housing 14 two symmetrical half-discs indented on a diameter and reconstituting the disc 2 together, each half-disc conforming to half of the disc 2 which is on one side or the other of the plane of symmetry of the diametral slot drilled in this disc.
  • the plate 1 can be dimensioned so as to have a sufficient surface to fully protect the latch placed to the right of this plate, on the other face of the door. It can be dressed with a hood or other decorative covering.
  • FIG. 3 a variant of the device according to the invention.
  • the same reference numeral designates identical or similar elements or members.
  • the device of FIG. 3 essentially differs from the device of FIGS. 1 and 2 by the presence of a protective plate 17 housed in a recess 18 formed in the face of the plate 1 which comes opposite the door 3.
  • the protective plate is flush with the surface of the plate 1 and comes to bear on the counterplate 12 possibly inserted to absorb the projection of the cylinder 6 on the face 13 of the door.
  • the protective plate 17 can then cooperate itself with the absorption of this projection, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the protective plate 17 is substantially coextensive with the plate 1. It is made of a very hard special manganese steel, such as a Z 120 M12 steel, so as to protect the attack latch 4 by drilling. It also strengthens the door 3 by increasing the surface thereof which collects a percussion force possibly applied to the disc 2 during an attack. The resistance of the assembly is thereby improved.
  • the plate 1 of the embodiment of Figure 3 has internally threaded sockets 19, 19 'designed to complement each other in holes drilled in the door.
  • the device is then fixed on this using bolts 20, 20 ′ passing through holes 21, 21 ′ respectively, from the inside of the door to be screwed into the sockets 19, 19 ′ of plate 1.
  • the head of the bolts being accessible only from inside the room closed by the door, the security of the device according to the invention is reinforced.
  • the disc 2 could rotate in the housing 14 with a clearance making it possible to adapt the device to errors in centering the holes to be made in the door for fixing the device.
  • such a play causes vibrations of the disc in the event of attack thereof with the drill, vibrations which make the attack more difficult.
  • the lock can be mounted on a support plate which s then applies against the inside of the door.
  • the straight slot 15 of the disc 2 could also be replaced by a hole of different shape, circular for example, to adapt to non-flat keys.
  • the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown which have been given only by way of example. On the contrary, it extends to any cylinder lock mechanism equipped with means designed to cooperate with the device according to the invention, the mechanism / device assembly then constituting a whole.
