Definitions
- the present invention relates to a lock with flat tumblers.
- These locks comprise a box-shaped body which slidingly accommodates a bolt having a tang provided with a set of teeth for moving the bolt by means of a double-pattern actuation key and with a locking pin engaging into openings of tumblers which are elongated in the bolt sliding direction and have, along their longitudinal edges, mutually opposite teeth which form passages wherethrough said pin advances by successive stops.
- the tumblers By actuating the key by means of the cut patterns, the tumblers are placed in such a mutual position that, through the subsequent rotation of the key, it is possible to make the locking pin slide between the mutually opposite teeth to allow the expulsion or retraction of the bolt from the box-shaped body.
- the tumblers perform their return stroke, and are kept in their inactive position, i.e., in the position for blocking the transverse pin, by means of elastic return elements.
- the tumblers engagement on the pin is provided by means of leaf-type springs which act between a peripheral wall of the box-shaped body of the lock and one side of the tumbler and are arranged in the plane of said tumbler.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a lock with flat tumblers.
- These locks comprise a box-shaped body which slidingly accommodates a bolt having a tang provided with a set of teeth for moving the bolt by means of a double-pattern actuation key and with a locking pin engaging into openings of tumblers which are elongated in the bolt sliding direction and have, along their longitudinal edges, mutually opposite teeth which form passages wherethrough said pin advances by successive stops.
- By actuating the key by means of the cut patterns, the tumblers are placed in such a mutual position that, through the subsequent rotation of the key, it is possible to make the locking pin slide between the mutually opposite teeth to allow the expulsion or retraction of the bolt from the box-shaped body. The tumblers perform their return stroke, and are kept in their inactive position, i.e., in the position for blocking the transverse pin, by means of elastic return elements.
- In conventional locks, the tumblers engagement on the pin is provided by means of leaf-type springs which act between a peripheral wall of the box-shaped body of the lock and one side of the tumbler and are arranged in the plane of said tumbler. Since the tumblers are arranged side by side, so as to form a sort of pack, the springs cannot be thicker than said tumblers, and therefore manufacturers are already subjected to limitations.
- The worst problem, however, resides in the difficulty in anchoring the ends of the springs to the tumblers. The commonest method is currently to form a notch on the edge of the tumbler whereto the spring must be coupled, to insert the end of the spring in said notch, and to compress the edge of the notch so as to achieve anchoring of the spring. This system has been found to be disadvantageous for two substantial reasons: first of all, the compression of the edge of the notch damages the spring, since the tough structure of the spring remains more or less severely cracked and secondly, the continuous actuation of the spring weakens the anchoring point.
- In other locks, all the tumblers rest on a single return spring. When the key is operated, the spring acts on the tumbler that performs the longest stroke because of the intended combination of the locks. The tumblers return to their initial position by gravity and because of the entrainment caused by mutual friction among the tumblers.
- In order to obviate the above drawbacks, the Applicant proposed, with Italian patent no. 931728 dated July 14, 1971, a lock wherein the tumblers arranged on each side of the bolt have tabs which are folded on the plane of one of the tumblers and act as a guide for elastic return elements, constituted by cylindrical helical springs, which act at right angles to the bolt sliding direction.
- This lock, however, has the drawback of an excessive bulk in a vertical direction, i.e., above and below the bolt, and therefore the use of the lock is limited to situations wherein enough space is available to accommodate it.
- A principal aim of the present invention is therefore to provide a flat-tumbler lock in which the elastic return elements are constituted by cylindrical helical springs and which has a structure with a limited vertical bulk.
- Within the scope of this aim, an object of the present invention is to provide a lock which is structurally simple and easier to assemble than conventional locks.
- This aim and this object are achieved by a lock with flat tumblers, comprising a box-shaped body wherein a bolt is slidingly accommodated, said bolt having a tang which is provided with a set of teeth for moving the bolt by means of a double-pattern actuation key and with a locking pin engaging into openings of tumblers which are elongated in the bolt sliding direction and have, along their longitudinal edges, mutually opposite teeth which form passages wherethrough said pin advances by successive stops, said tumblers being movable at right angles to said tang in contrast with elastic return elements constituted by cylindrical helical springs, characterized in that said tumblers are provided with respective expanded portions which protrude from the key engagement edge and have abutment tabs for said springs.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof, illustrated only by way of non-limitative example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- figure 1 is a sectional side view of the lock according to the invention;
- figure 2 is a sectional view, taken along the plane II-II of figure 1; and
- figure 3 is an enlarged-scale view of a detail of figure 2.
- With reference to the above figures, the lock comprises a box-
shaped body 1 which is composed of abottom 2 surrounded by a peripheral wall composed of twolongitudinal walls 3 and 4 and atransverse wall 5. Thewalls reference numeral 6 designates the cover which closes the box-shaped body. - The box-
shaped body 1 is associated, for example through spot welds, to a front faceplate 7 wherein there is provided therectangular opening 8 wherethrough thebolt 9 of the lock protrudes externally and is slideable in the direction A. Thebolt 9 continues inside the box-shaped body with thetang 10. Thetang 10 is constituted by a flat bar which is not as thick as thebolt 9 and lies on the centerline plane that is co-planar to the bolt. - The upper edge of the
tang 10 is adjacent to the upper wall 3 and has, along the lower edge, a set ofteeth 11 shaped like a rack. - A
slot 12 is formed in thetang 10 and is elongated in the direction A; an internally threadedbush 13 engages said slot and rises from thebottom 2 of the box-shaped body whereto it is fixed. Thebush 13 allows to guide thetang 10 during the extraction and retraction strokes of thebolt 9 relative to the box-shaped body, and together with anotherbush 14 acts as an engagement element for thescrews 15 by means of which thecover 6 is fixed so as to close the box-shaped body of the lock. - As shown in figure 1, the set of
teeth 11 is approximately aligned with the centerline plane C of thebolt 9, so that therear edge 16 of the bolt and the set ofteeth 11 delimit a recess whereat theopening 17 is provided for the insertion of the double-pattern key for the actuation of the lock. An opening which is mirror-symmetrical with respect to the opening 17 is also provided in thecover 6. - Laterally to the
tang 10 there are provided two groups of flat tumblers, each composed of three mutuallyadjacent tumblers tumblers - Each tumbler is composed of a substantially
rectangular part 21, with anupper edge 22 and alower edge 23 wherefrom an expandedportion 24 protrudes towards thelower wall 4. - The
rectangular part 21 and the expandedportion 24 haverespective slots bushes rear wall 5, guide the tumblers in the direction D. At theopening 17 for the key, thelower edge 23 of therectangular part 21 has aprofile 27 which is shaped so that it can be engaged by the double-pattern key inserted in theopening 17 of thebottom 2 or of thecover 6. - A
cutout 28 is formed in thepart 21 of each tumbler and is elongated in the direction A; a set ofteeth 29 protrudes from the upper longitudinal edge of said cutout and is arranged opposite to a second set ofteeth 30 which protrudes from the lower edge of thecutout 28. - The
teeth 29 form squared tooth spaces which allow to insert, between them, alocking pin 31 which has a squared cross-section and extends on both sides of thetang 10 whereto it is rigidly coupled. - The height of the
teeth 29 of each tumbler is alternately the same, but it differs according to a preset cut with respect to the height of the teeth of the adjacent tumbler. Moreover, the opposite ends of theupper teeth 29 and of thelower teeth 30 delimit a passage which is slightly higher than thepin 31, so as to allow said pin to pass between the mutually opposite teeth when thetumblers -
Respective tabs portions 24 towards the front faceplate 7, andrespective rods wall 21 and at right angles to the direction A. - The
lateral tabs tab 33 between them, have the same length but are longer than theintermediate tab 33. - The rods 35-37 act as guiding and retention elements for cylindrical
helical springs 38 which rest on the tabs 32-34 with one end. Thecylindrical springs 38 are inserted inrespective recesses 39 of a supportingelement 40 constituted by a prism-shaped block, which is arranged between theopening 17 and the expandedportions 24 of the tumblers. - The
element 40 has, on two opposite faces, rectangular raisedportions bottom 2 and of thecover 6 in order to anchor theelement 40 inside the box-shaped body of the lock. - It should be noted that the
springs 38 have a diameter which is greater than the thickness of the tumblers 18-20; therefore, in order to prevent thespring 38 fitted on therod 36 of theintermediate tab 33 from interfering with thelateral tabs curves - Operation of the described lock is fully identical to that of conventional locks. Assuming that the lock is in the open condition of figure 1 and that one intends to actuate it in the closed position, by inserting the double-pattern key in the
opening 17 and turning said key counterclockwise, the tumblers 18-20 are aligned so that the passage formed by the mutuallyopposite teeth pin 31, and therefore thepin 31 can shift to the left and engage the next tooth space, wherefrom it then moves into the next one at every half-turn of the key. When thebolt 9 has been fully extracted from the lock, the pin is at the opposite end of the opening 28. - The outward advancement of the
bolt 9 is caused by the key itself which, after aligning the tumblers as desired, acts on the set ofteeth 11 of thetang 10. - The tumblers 18-20 are retained in the position for intercepting the
pin 31 and therefore thebolt 9 by means of the cylindricalhelical springs 38, which return the tumblers to their lower abutment at every stop, i.e., every time the key performs a half-turn. - It is evident that the described lock perfectly achieves the intended aim and object.
- In particular, the reduced height of the
tang 10 allows to form a space wherein it is possible to accommodate, in a longitudinal direction, theopening 17 for the lock actuation key and thetumbler return springs 38. In this way, the height of the lock decreases considerably, since there are no mechanical parts which require space above and below the bolt, as instead required in conventional locks to allow to place the springs and move the tumblers, as well as to allow rotation of the key. - A substantial advantage of the described lock resides in the fact that only three kinds of tumbler, corresponding to those that compose each one of the two groups provided on each side of the
tang 10, are required to provide the lock. In an equivalent lock, six different tumblers would instead be required, since each group is composed of three different tumblers which are mirror-symmetrical with respect to those of the other group. - It should also be noted that the
springs 38 are partially guided by the rods 35-37 and partially in therecesses 39. In this manner, the rods 35-37, by entering therecesses 39, require a reduced space for their movement. - Numerous modifications and variations are possible in the practical embodiment of the invention, and all are within the scope of the same inventive concept. For example, the tabs 32-34, the
springs 38, and theelement 40 can be arranged on the opposite side of the expandedportions 24, i.e., between the expandedportions 24 and thewall 5. - In any case, it is constructively possible to maintain the vertical bulk of the tumblers and their movement within the space occupied by the bolt.
- Where technical features mentioned in any claim are followed by reference signs, those reference signs have been included for the sole purpose of increasing the intelligibility of the claims and accordingly such reference signs do not have any limiting effect on the interpretation of each element identified by way of example by such reference signs.
