Description
- This invention relates to a cylinder lock and double cylinder lock arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1. Such a cylinder lock is known from
DE-36 32 663 A1 . - Multi lock locking arrangements have been used for a number of years on double-glazing window and door units. Traditionally the cylinder lock comprises an elongate barrel having keyhole shaped cross sectional profile with a bulbous section and an outwardly extending section. Locks are fitted at either end of a through passage in the bulbous section with locking pins located in bores provided in the outward extending section. The locks are interconnected by a clutch arrangement located there between in the through passage. The clutch comprising engaged components that activate a cam member that operates the other components of, for example, a multi point locking system. The provision of the clutch in the arrangement allows respective rotational movement of the operating components of the two locks so that the lock can be operated. However the arrangement also allows lateral movement of the two locks in the through passage.
- This type of locking arrangement has been used for years and has provided good security to the home. However in order to allow for easy and secure mounting of the cylinder lock a mounting hole is provided in the centre of the outward section of the barrel and this has been found to provide a distinct weakness to the arrangement which enables the lock barrel to be broken about the hole when a suitable lateral force is applied by for example a screw driver in the keyhole in the lock as would be used by someone trying to gain illegal entry to the property. If the barrel is broken the lock fails to an open position allowing entry to the property.
- The present invention is concerned with providing a cylinder lock having improved strength and resilience to the application of a lateral force for example by someone trying to break the cylinder barrel and thereby provides a more secure and safer locking arrangement.
- In accordance with the present invention there is provided a cylinder lock for use in a locking arrangement according to claim 1.
- Consequently, the cylinder lock of the present invention is operationally the same as current cylinder locks. The provision of the sleeve members enables the lock to be easily operated as with a conventional design. The advantage of the lock is in the provision of the bar member which whilst not fixed to the locks or the operational components of the lock is securely mounted with respect thereto. This prevents lateral movement of the two locks in the through passage and so provides a further resistance to any attempt to break the lock barrel in the way described above.
- According to the invention when the lock is assembled the bar member is located with each end in a recess provided in the respective lock so that the lock surrounds the end of the bar member and each sleeve to locate the bar member securely and minimize lateral movement.
- In one arrangement the bar member and the recess may be provided with means to securely located them with respect to each other, for example, the end of the bar member and the inside surface of the recess may be provided with grooves with inter engage to more securely hold the bar member in place.
- It should be noted and as would be well appreciated by a person skilled in the art it is an important feature of the invention that the fit of the bar member is a relative secure fit in the recess and in the best case scenario is an interference or tolerance fit.
- The bar member may be made from any suitable material, for example, steel, stainless steel, high tensile steel, titanium or other material with resists lateral bending.
- In one embodiment of the present invention the barrel is also provided with an external fitting collar.
- The present invention is intended for use with conventional door locking arrangements and consequently has been designed with a view that it can be used with current systems without the need for any redesign. The components can be sized to fit within the standard cylinder lock specification.
- The above invention may be used as one of several security features included in a locking arrangement to provide added home security, for example the invention described and claimed in document
EP 1997982 A1 . - The invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
Figure 1 shows a view of a cylinder lock made in accordance with the present invention; -
Figure 2 shows a exploded view ofFigure 1 ; and -
Figure 3 shows a cross sectional view of the cylinder lock ofFigure 1 . - Referring to the drawings there is shown a cylinder lock 1 made in accordance with the present invention. The cylinder lock 1 comprises a barrel having a bulbous upper section 2 with a through
passage 3 running along the length thereof and an outwardly extendingsection 4. A cut away 5 through the bulbous section 2 and into the outward extendingsection 4 is provided and located therein is a cam member 6. - Located one in each end of the through
passage 3 are twolocks 7 having a locking barrel 8 and a number of locking pins (not shown) which extend downwardly into theoutward section 4 into bores (not shown). The operation of the locks is as with any conventional lock of this general type and further explanation is not needed and will not be given. - The locking barrel is provided with a keyhole 9 at its outward facing end and a recess 10 at its inward facing end. The inward end of each barrel 8 is also provided with two diametrically opposed
slots 16 and a key passage 11 connects the inward and outward facing ends of each barrel - Located in and extending between the recesses 10 of the two
locks 7 is a bar member 12- Located around the bar member 12 at each of its ends is arespective sleeve member 13 and acollar 14. Each of thecollars 14 includes two diametrically opposedlugs 15 which when thelock 7 is assembled, for the respective arrangements locate for a part of their length in theslots 16 in the barrels 8. - The cam member 6 comprises a bulbous
circular section 17 having athrough bore 18 that on the inward facingsurface 19 has anabutment 20 that circumferentially surrounds said surface apart from two gaps 21, and an outward projectingtongue 22. - A
mounting hole 23 is also provided in theoutward section 4 of the cylinder lock body at a position below the cut away 5. - When assembled the
locks 7 are located in the throughpassage 3 of the cylinder lock body, one at each end. The bar member 12,sleeve members 13 andcollars 14 are located in the throughpassage 3 between saidlocks 7 and further located in the recesses 10 of thelocks 7, so that the twocollar member 14 abut each other. Thelugs 15 on thecollars 14 are in alignment with each other and engage in theslots 16 in the barrels 8 of thelocks 7. - The cam member 6 is located in the cut away 5 with the bar member 12 and
collars 14 extending through thethrough bore 18. The gaps 21 in theabutment 20 of the cam member 6 are in general alignment with thelugs 15 of the barrel 8. As will be well appreciated by those skilled in the industry in effect the arrangement for the operation of the cylinder lock is very solid in comparison to the current arrangements. This at least reduces, if not eliminates, any tendency to bend or move laterally that is present with the current arrangements and provides the new arrangement with additional strength to resist any bending moment that may be applied in attempting to force the lock. Clearly the tightness of the fit is also important and it is important that the components are fitted to close tolerances, and also the choice of materials. A high tensile steel will provide greater rigidity and resistance than would brass or gun metal. The choice of materials would be affected by the application and costs involved. - The operation of the cylinder lock is similar to current locks. A key is inserted through the keyhole 9 that extends along the key passage 11. With the standard arrangement the length of the key is such that the end of the key abuts the
respective sleeve member 13 forcing thesleeve member 13 and associatedcollar 14 along the bar member 12. The degree of movement is not great but is sufficient to cause thelugs 15 on therespective collar member 14 to engage the gaps 21 in the camber 6 and disengage thelugs 15 of the other collar member from the gaps 21 of the cam member 6. Further the lower surface of the key, assuming it is the correct key, depresses the locking pins of the lock such that the barrel is not prevented from movement. - As the key is now further rotated the barrel 8 of the
lock 7 rotates causing therespective collar member 14 to rotate and via thelugs 15 the cam member 6 to rotate. Thetongue 22 engages the mechanical operators of the locking arrangement and the lock is operated as with the current systems. - The above example of the present invention shows a locking arrangement where the locking system includes two key operated locks, one at each end of a common passage.
- Further the invention has been described above with reference to a Euro-Profile cylinder lock but the invention is not limited to use with those profile of locks and can be used with cylinder lock of any profile.
