- Locks comprising a cylinder forming the lock body and a plug housed in the cylinder and provided with a radially projecting pawl for operating a bolt.
- the cylinder and plug comprise a plurality of radial cylindrical recesses in which pins formed in two parts are housed and can slide axially.
- the axial position of the pins is such that the separation surface between their two constituent parts does not coincide with the surface of discontinuity between the plug and cylinder, with the result that the pins act as locking members for preventing the plug rotating relative to the cylinder.
- the key is inserted into a corresponding seat provided in the plug, it causes the various pins to move axially in accordance with its pattern, such as to make the separation surface between the two constituent parts of each pin coincide with the surface of discontinuity between the plug and cylinder, to enable the plug to be rotated by said key.
- patterned keys consisting of a key comprising along one edge a series of notches, which determine, by supporting them, the correct positioning of pins present in the lock and urged against said notches by springs.
- This type of key is advantageous in that if for example the notches are formed by a cutter the axis of which is inclined to the longitudinal axis of the shaft, they are able to cause each pin to move not only axially but to also rotate, hence considerably increasing the number of possible different patterns, to the advantage of security.
- this type of key also has certain drawbacks, and in particular enables the key pattern to be read on sight by an expert, hence enabling it to be duplicated even without the original key being available.
- this type of key has one or both its edges toothed, such that it may damage clothing, bags and surfaces in general with which the key comes into contact.
- Another kwown type of key uses a flat shank with its major surface and possibly its other surfaces comprising recesses for housing the ends of the pins which lock the cylinder to the plug. As the depth of each recess varies, the axial position of the respective pin also varies, and only if the key pattern corresponds to that particular lock can its insertion into the plug cause this latter to be released and to be able to be rotated relative to the cylinder.
- This known type of key has a smooth edge and therefore cannot damage bags or clothing, and in addition makes it more difficult to identify the pattern merely by viewing the key.
- it can cause the pins only to translate axially but not to rotate, and consequently offers a relatively limited number of different combinations, and hence an unsatisfactory degree of security.
- An object of the invention is to obviate the aforesaid drawbacks by providing a key and cylinder lock unit having a high degree of security.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a unit in which for releasing the plug from the cylinder the pins are required not only to move axially but also to rotate.

Description
- This invention relates to a key and cylinder lock unit.
- Locks are known comprising a cylinder forming the lock body and a plug housed in the cylinder and provided with a radially projecting pawl for operating a bolt.
- The cylinder and plug comprise a plurality of radial cylindrical recesses in which pins formed in two parts are housed and can slide axially. When the key is absent the axial position of the pins is such that the separation surface between their two constituent parts does not coincide with the surface of discontinuity between the plug and cylinder, with the result that the pins act as locking members for preventing the plug rotating relative to the cylinder. When however the key is inserted into a corresponding seat provided in the plug, it causes the various pins to move axially in accordance with its pattern, such as to make the separation surface between the two constituent parts of each pin coincide with the surface of discontinuity between the plug and cylinder, to enable the plug to be rotated by said key.
- Various types of patterned keys exist, one of these consisting of a key comprising along one edge a series of notches, which determine, by supporting them, the correct positioning of pins present in the lock and urged against said notches by springs.
- This type of key is advantageous in that if for example the notches are formed by a cutter the axis of which is inclined to the longitudinal axis of the shaft, they are able to cause each pin to move not only axially but to also rotate, hence considerably increasing the number of possible different patterns, to the advantage of security. However this type of key also has certain drawbacks, and in particular enables the key pattern to be read on sight by an expert, hence enabling it to be duplicated even without the original key being available.
- Moreover this type of key has one or both its edges toothed, such that it may damage clothing, bags and surfaces in general with which the key comes into contact.
- Another kwown type of key uses a flat shank with its major surface and possibly its other surfaces comprising recesses for housing the ends of the pins which lock the cylinder to the plug. As the depth of each recess varies, the axial position of the respective pin also varies, and only if the key pattern corresponds to that particular lock can its insertion into the plug cause this latter to be released and to be able to be rotated relative to the cylinder.
- This known type of key has a smooth edge and therefore cannot damage bags or clothing, and in addition makes it more difficult to identify the pattern merely by viewing the key. However it can cause the pins only to translate axially but not to rotate, and consequently offers a relatively limited number of different combinations, and hence an unsatisfactory degree of security.
- An object of the invention is to obviate the aforesaid drawbacks by providing a key and cylinder lock unit having a high degree of security.
- A further object of the invention is to provide a unit in which for releasing the plug from the cylinder the pins are required not only to move axially but also to rotate.
- A further object of the invention is to provide a unit in which the key pattern cannot be easily identified by direct viewing.
- A further object of the invention is to provide a unit in which it is extremely difficult to duplicate the key, in contrast to known keys, which can be cut by a file or drill, according to the type.
- A further object of the invention is to provide a unit in which key duplication requires machining along three axes.
- All these objects are attained according to the invention through a key and cylinder lock unit as described in claim 1.

- Figure 7

- Figure 8

- Figure 10
- is a longitudinal section on the line X-X of Figure 9;
- Figure 11
- is a cross-section on the line XI-XI of Figure 9;
- Figure 12
- shows it in the same view as Figure 11, but in the released state with the key inserted.
- As can be seen from Figures 1-8, the unit according to the invention comprises a lock, indicated overall by 2, and a key, indicated overall by 4. The lock comprises a
plug 6 housed in a cylindrical cavity of acylinder 8, of the type for example commonly known as a "European cylinder", ie with a cylindrical portion housing theplug 6 and a radial appendix housing the pin mechanism for locking and releasing the plug. - Specifically, the
cylinder 8 comprises a plurality of cylindrical recesses 10 (five in the illustrated example) having their axes mutually parallel and perpendicular to the axis of the cylindrical cavity housing theplug 6, which also comprises a like number ofcylindrical recesses 12 of the same diameter, these being coaxially aligned with the corresponding recesses in thecylinder 8 when theplug 6 is in a certain precise angular position. - The five
recesses 12 of theplug 6 open into alongitudinal seat 14, also provided in theplug 6, for the insertion of thekey 4. - Pairs of
pins 16 andcounterpins 18 are free to slide axially in and rotate within each pair of alignedrecesses counterpin 18 is associated with aspring 22 also housed in the correspondingcylindrical recess 10 and interposed between adisc 20, resting on saidcounterpin 18, and acap 24 applied to the end of thesame recess 10. The purpose of thespring 22 is to urge the pin-counterpin pair towards thelongitudinal seat 14 until aretention appendix 26 emerging radially from thepin 16 encounters ashoulder 28 of alongitudinal channel 29 provided in the body of the plug between theadjacent pins 16, its purpose being to limit the rotation of the pin-counterpin pair between the two walls of saidchannel 29. - That end of each
pin 16 distant from thecounterpin 18 is provided with aneccentric appendix 30, the dimensions of the various parts concerned being such that when eachretention appendix 26 rests against thecorresponding shoulder 28, theeccentric appendix 30 of eachpin 16 projects into thelongitudinal seat 14 for thekey 4. - Although the cavity in the
cylinder 8 which houses theplug 6 is perfectly cylindrical, the corresponding lateral surface of the plug has a characteristic stepped shape compatible with the castellated shape of the surface of separation between eachpin 16 and the relative counterpin 18 (see Figures 2,5,6). - The
key 4 comprises ahandgrip 33 and ashank 34 of overall parallelepiped section, with a chamfered tip and with each major face comprising acontinuous channel 36 of width just greater than the diameter of theeccentric appendices 30. For the operation of the key it would be sufficient for thechannel 36 to be provided on only one face of the key, however the presence of two channels symmetrical about the longitudinal axis of the key makes this reversible. - The
channel 36, which is open and is slightly flared at the end of thekey 4, is formed from a succession of several rectilinear portions arranged at an angle to each other so as to cause the channel to assume a broken-line configuration. In addition, the depth of the various portions is not constant and consequently the junction points of adjacent portions are at different distances from the outer face of the key. - The operation of the key and lock unit according to the invention is as follows:
with the key extracted, for the reasons which will be more apparent hereinafter, all the pin-counterpin pairs are positioned such that theradial appendices 26 provided on thepins 16 adhere to thecorresponding shoulders 28 and theeccentric appendices 30 have the same angular position in therecess 12 housing thecorresponding pin 16. In this position the stepped surface of discontinuity between eachpin 16 and therelative counterpin 18 is such as not to allow theplug 6 to be rotated relative to thecylinder 8. - If a
key 4 provided with thecorrect channel 36 for operating that lock is now inserted into theseat 14 of theplug 6, this insertion causes thechannel 36 to engage theappendices 30 successively encountered and, because of the shape of saidchannel 36, to rotate and axially move the corresponding pin-counterpin pair within the respectivecylindrical seat - When the key has been completely inserted into its seat (see Figures 5-8), the arrangement of each pin-counterpin pair is such that the separation surface between the two exactly prolongs the stepped lateral surface of the
plug 6, to hence enable this latter to be rotated by thekey 4. - After the lock has been operated, extraction of the
key 4 causes the various pin-counterpin pairs to move in the reverse direction, and when the key has been completely extracted all the pairs lie at the same angle corresponding to the position of the open end of thechannel 36. - This position is totally different from that set by the
key 4 when completely inserted, and maintains theplug 6 locked to thecylinder 8. - In a different embodiment illustrated in Figures 9-12, the surface of separation between each pin and the relative counterpin is cylindrical instead of stepped, and the plug surface is cylindrical without steps. Each
pin 16 comprises in its lateral surface arectilinear groove 38, which for that angular position of each pin-counterpin pair established by the insertion of thekey 4 is in phase with the others, to allow engagement by afurther pin 40 movable axially between a position totally housed within theplug 6 and a position emerging from said plug to engage a front-standingrecess 42 provided in thecylinder 8. - According to this second embodiment of the invention, when the
key 4 is inserted into itsseat 14 it causes all the pin-counterpin pairs to rotate and move axially; the axial movement brings the surface of discontinuity between the pin and counterpin of each pair to the level of the surface of discontinuity between the plug and cylinder, whereas the rotation of each pair brings all thegrooves 38 in thepins 16 to face thepins 40, which can withdraw completely into theplug 6, to release it from thecylinder 8 and enable it to be rotated. - Independently of the embodiment used, the key and cylinder lock unit according to the invention is considerably advantageous, and in particular:
- the key shank is without teeth, but at the same time is able to subject the pin-counterpin pairs to axial and rotational movement;
- it does not allow simple pattern identification by merely viewing the key;
- it uses a pattern with a very large number of different combination, making the lock particularly secure;
- extracting the key causes the various pin-counterpin pairs to rotate, so arranging them in a state in which they reliably lock the plug;
- for key duplication it requires expressly dedicated equipment.
