Definitions
- the present invention relates to a lock with tamper-resistant elements and associated key.
- Cylinder locks of the conventional type have a plurality of elements that perform a radial translational motion and enter the cylinder by way of the action of axially-acting springs, preventing the rotation of the cylinder when the appropriate key is not inserted in the lock.
- the contour of the key which is provided complementarily with respect to the length of the translational elements, allows such elements to exit from the cylinder, releasing it.
- the translational elements are generally constituted by a pair of slender elements in mutual contact at one end: the element that is inserted in the cylinder when the key is removed is termed “coding pin” and the element comprised between the axially-acting spring and the coding pin is termed “driver pin”.
- An expert can in fact open a lock without using the key by using slender metallic objects, in the specific case a torque wrench and a pick.
- the torque wrench is used to force the rotation of the cylinder in the opening direction: the forcing action must be strong enough to prevent the coding pins from being pushed back into the cylinder by the action of the spring after they have been made to retract, but not too strong, in order to avoid jamming the coding pins, making it impossible to retract them with an external action because of excessive friction.
- the external action is applied to the coding pins by means of the pick, with which their top ends are struck, making them retract in contrast with the action of the spring.
- the aim of the present invention is to obviate the above-cited drawbacks and meet the mentioned requirements, by providing a lock with tamper-resistant elements and associated key that hinders opening with effraction means to a higher degree.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a lock that is simple, relatively easy to provide in practice, safe in use, effective in operation, and has a relatively low cost.
- the present lock with tamper-resistant elements and associated key of the type that comprises a body, a cylindrical receptacle formed in said body, a cylinder that can rotate in said receptacle, an actuation bit that is rotationally rigidly coupled to said cylinder, a keyway for the insertion of said key, which is formed axially in said cylinder, a plurality of elements that perform a radial translational motion, each constituted by a coding pin and a driver pin, which enter said cylinder and said body and, when the key is removed, prevent the rotation of the cylinder, while by inserting the key in said keyway they are actuated into the position that enables the rotation of the cylinder, characterized in that at least one of said coding pins is constituted by a spindle provided with a substantially cylindrical head and with a shank, which is likewise substantially cylindrical and is provided with an end disk whose diameter is comprised between the diameter of the sh
- the reference numeral 1 generally designates a lock with tamper-resistant elements and the reference numeral 1a designates a corresponding key.
- the lock 1 comprises a body 2, a cylindrical receptacle 3 formed in the body 2, a cylinder 4 that can rotate in the receptacle 3, an actuation bit 5 that is rigidly rotationally coupled to the cylinder 4, and a keyway 6 for the insertion of the key 1a formed axially in the cylinder 4.
- a plurality of elements 7 that perform a radial translational motion are arranged longitudinally; each element is constituted by a coding pin 8 and by a driver pin 9; the elements 7 enter the cylinder 4 and the body 2 and, when the key 1a is removed, prevent the rotation of the cylinder 4, while by inserting the key 1a in the keyway 6 they are actuated into the position for enabling the rotation of the cylinder 4.
- At least one of the coding pins 8 is constituted by a spindle 10, which is provided with a substantially cylindrical head 11 and with a shank 12, which is also substantially cylindrical and is provided with an end disk 13 whose diameter is comprised between the diameter of the shank 12 and the diameter of the head 11, the head 11 having a larger diameter than the shank 12, and by a substantially cylindrical hollow pin 14, which has an outside diameter that is approximately equal to the diameter of the head 11 of the spindle 10 and an internal cavity 15 that is likewise cylindrical and has a diameter that is approximately equal to the diameter of the disk 13 of the spindle 10 and is provided with a retention groove 16, said hollow pin 14 having a partially tapered tip 17.
- the edge of the disk 13 that lies opposite the edge that is connected to the shank 12 is beveled.
- the upper boundary surface i.e., the surface that runs from the bottom of the groove 16 to the upper region of the cavity 15, is inclined, i.e., has an upper bevel.
- the coding pin 8 is installed within the body 2 and the cylinder 4 so that in the hollow pin 14 the tapering end 17 is arranged toward the keyway 6 for the key 1a and the cavity 15 is open downward.
- the cavity 15 accommodates the shank 12 of the spindle 10, and the head 11 of the spindle in turn rests on the upper end 18 of the driver pin 9.
- the lower end 19 of the driver pin 9 rests on a spring 20 that acts axially and is arranged on the bottom of the passage 21 that accommodates the coding pin 8 and the driver pin 9.
- the driver pins 9 are substantially cylindrical elements provided with ends 18 and 19 that have a larger diameter in order to allow their axial offset when they are partially inserted in the body 2 and partially inserted in the cylinder 4.
- the head 11 of the spindle 10 has a cambered surface that rests against the upper end 18 of the driver pin 9, providing a substantially point-like contact against the end 18.
- the end disk 13 is aligned with the retention groove 16, since the play between the shank 12 and the cavity 15 and also between the disk 13 and the groove 16 is sufficient to allow the tilting of the axis of the former with respect to the axis of the latter.
- the attacker acts by inserting in the receptacle 3 a torque wrench 22 and a pick 23.
- the coding pin 8 undergoes a vertical translational motion: this translational motion is not the same for all the components of the coding pin 8 (which do not move rigidly with respect to each other).
- the hollow pin 14 remains almost motionless, while the spindle 10 moves downward, making the driver pin 9 retract as well, said driver pin in turn acting by compressing the spring 20.
- the torque wrench 22 keeps a moment applied to the cylinder 4 in order to jam the coding pin 8 within the passage 21 if it is made to retract completely therein following percussion applied with the pick 23.
- One or more of the coding pins 9 of the lock 1 can be provided monolithically, while the others are constituted by a spindle 10 and a hollow pin 14 in order to provide low-cost, highly secure mixed solutions.
- the hollow pin 14 is provided in different lengths, which correspond to the different thicknesses that the contour of the key 1a that actuates it can assume.
