Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lock cylinder designed to be more reliable against breaking attempts where the improvement proposed by the invention prevents complete separation of the two cylinder parts in case of an unauthorized attempt to release the door lock or break the lock into pieces.
  • a lock cylinder accommodates the most basic yet the most crucial elements of the system, to ensure reliability against burglary.
  • a lock case typically two mutually located cylinder parts, between which a notch and a rotatable lock pawl are situated on a bridge-like region with a screw hole in the center, are present. Said bridge-like region exists in almost every lock assembly due to manufacturing standards set to enable a given lock to fit into a given door assembly.
  • the small region, in the center of which a fixing screw is located on said bridge-like portion constitute the weakest line of the case.
  • EP 1 583 878 discloses a lock cylinder according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a reinforcement member in the form of a closed line body composed of a plurality of laminations occupying a receptacle volume arranged around both sides of the bridge-like portion and extending longitudinally along both cylindrical half-housings is present. Said lamination packs hence longitudinally surround said lock fixing hole from both side in a manner to resist flexural forces.
  • the reinforcing element in the form of a two-arm closed-line body made of laminations is not suitable for preventing a flexural rupture at the bridge-like portion. Rather, this rupture is eased by weakening said bridge-like portion. Further, as the two lines above and below the fixing hole are not subject to the same force vector as explained above, a rupture of the reinforcement member of EP 1 583 878 at the upper line is very likely considering that tensile strength of any used material will be greater than its compressive strength. To this end, a solution as is proposed by EP 1 583 878 is deficient in that the upper arm of the reinforcement material is not suitable for resisting against expanding force components and the lower arm against compressing force components when upper arm rupture already occurred.
  • the reinforcing system which comprises a reinforcing member according to the present invention, is advantageous in that said member is suitable for tolerating upper line expanding forces.
  • the extensible arrangement of the reinforcing member according to the present invention will be effectual in preventing a burglary attempt by sufficiently extending so as to tolerate gaps in between half-housings. Conducted experiments reveal that reinforcement member lower arm withstands compressing force vectors as long as the upper arm does not break off. Since a rupture along the upper line of the fixing hole is more likely, arrangement of an extensible, high tensile strength structure prevents upper line rupture.
  • the reinforcement member provided with smooth-curve zigzag lines of different lengths will additionally delay a rupture at the vertical line of the main rotation axis during extension according to the present invention.
  • EP 1 707 710 discloses a lock cylinder comprising a longitudinally extending cylindrical portion in the form of two cylindrical half-housings. Said reference further refers to a reinforcement member comprising at least two line segments.
  • one of the objects of the present invention is to prevent separation of the two half-housings of the cylinder assembly.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a cylinder assembly comprising a reinforcing system with a reinforcing member which can not be separated from the half-housings.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a cylinder assembly comprising a reinforcing system for tolerating fixing hole upper line expanding forces as well as fixing hole lower line compressing forces.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a cylinder assembly comprising a reinforcing system which can extend in the manner to tolerate gaps in between half-housings.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a cylinder assembly comprising a reinforcing system which can additionally delay a rupture at the vertical line of the main rotation axis during extension.
  • the lock assembly (11) typically comprises a longitudinally extending cylindrical portion (12) in the form of two divisions or cylindrical half-housings (22), to receive keys from the inside and the outside of a door and a flat portion (13) extending parallel to the upper cylindrical portion with a notch (14) in the middle, through which a pawl is rotatably movable between said divisions, to operate the lock.
  • Said cylindrical portion (12) contains the cylindrical core in which a series of ciphering pins extend in the conventional manner.
  • a standard lock is conventionally secured to a door assembly by a screw that is fixed at a hole (15) which is located in a bridge-like portion (16) under said notch (14) and which is perpendicular to the key axis of the cylinder lock.
  • This region constitutes both vertically and horizontally the weakest line across the entire length of the lock assembly (11) and is potentially to be the first portion to be broken in case a burglar exerts a flexural and torsional force e.g. via a lever rod to break the lock into pieces.
  • the bodies of these locks are generally made of brass.
  • the reinforcing structure according to the present invention takes advantage of an improved design and provides a reinforcement member (20) in the form of a two-arm closed-loop steel body.
  • the upper arm (19) of the reinforcement member (20) is provided with a plurality of non-horizontal smooth-turn segment lines in the form of zigzag lines extending along at least an upper arm portion. Linear length (distance -a- in Fig. 2 ) of said zigzag form is arranged suitable for circumferentially surrounding said fixing hole (15).
  • the reinforcement member (20) according to the present invention is designed as a two different sets line corrugation upper arm (19).
  • the upper arm (19) comprises two separate regions along which inclined lines with different horizontal and vertical projections extend.
  • the upper arm (19) along the bridge-like region (16) that is, within the space defined by the projection lines of the vertical borders of said notch (14), is designed to comprise shorter length (distance -c- in Fig. 3 ) line segments compared to the line segments (distance -e- in Fig. 4 ) outside the bridge space (16).
  • design of the upper part of said screw hole (15) on the upper arm (19) is similar to a sine wave
  • remaining side portions (17) of the arm (19) are designed in the form of a larger magnitude sine wave.
  • the upper arm (19) outer portions (17) at both sides with longer line segments (e) in between zigzag turns are the first parts that are extending toward the sides to tolerate the distance opening in between the half-housings (22) following rupture at the screw hole upper brass body (21).
  • a burglar exerts e.g. laterally using a charging rod, a force sufficient to break said screw hole upper brass body (21), it is apparent that the cylinders (22) will move in opposite directions and since the inner one is fixed, the outer cylinder will tend to rotate downward around a point on the screw hole (15) lower brass body (21), on which a rupture will also eventually occur due to compressing forces.
  • the reinforcement member (20) upon rupture at both upper and lower brass bodies (21, 23), the security of the system will solely rely on the reinforcement member (20).
  • the reinforcement member (20) is fixed within the flat portion (13) of the lock cylinder by means of any suitable fixing means. Suitable bearings in holes (15) can be used for this purpose.
  • the reinforcement member (20) according to the present invention is made out of a high tensile material. Any high tensile material will resist an expanding force before completely breaking off, depending on the magnitude of the force vectors.
  • the arrangement of the present invention however, although making use of a high tensile material, benefits from the special design allowing displacement of line segments (17, 18) during extension. This can be explained by referring to a "V" letter. When a "V" shape structure is subject to a horizontal expanding force from both extremities, the angle between two line segments of "V" will expand to tolerate the displacement caused.
  • the present invention in a nutshell provides a lock cylinder (11) comprising a longitudinally extending cylindrical portion (12) in the form of two cylindrical half-housings (22), a flat portion (13) extending parallel to the upper cylindrical portion with a notch (14) above a bridge-like region (16) accommodating a screw hole (15) for fixing said lock cylinder (11) and a reinforcement member (20) fixed at both sides of said bridge-like region (16) so as to extend at least partially along said flat portion (13) in a longitudinal manner said reinforcement member (20) being a two-arm closed-loop body, both arms (19,24) extending longitudinally along said flat portion (13).
  • Said reinforcement member (20) further comprises at least two non-horizontal line segments the angle between which is suitable for expanding in response to expanding forces, and said at least two non-horizontal line segments form one of the two arms of said closed loop body.
