-
US-A-2006/0226663 discloses a magnetic lock in which its mode of operation can be changed between a PTL mode and a PTO mode. -
US-A-2004/0061343 discloses an electrically-operated door strike in which its mode of operation can be changed between a fail-safe mode and a fail-secure mode. - The present invention provides an electronic lock having two modes of operation, the electronic lock including: a lock body; a solenoid plunger mounted with the lock body; a spring for biasing the solenoid plunger in a direction with respect to the lock body; and a mode selector mountable within the lock body and oriented in accordance with a desired mode of operation, the mode selector being biased in the same direction as the solenoid plunger by the spring when no power is applied to the solenoid plunger, the mode selector moving into a void within the lock body to lock the electronic lock, the mode selector being operable for switching the mode of operation of the electronic lock, the mode of operation being determined by its orientation with respect to the electronic lock, the mode selector including: first and second bodies of different sizes; the first and second bodies being spaced apart by a resilient member.
- The resilient member may include a helical spring.
- The first and second bodies may be cylindrical.
- The first and second bodies may be right cylindrical.
- The resilient member may be mounted coaxially with either of the first or second bodies.
- The first and second bodies may be of different lengths.
- The resilient member may be mounted to either of the first or second bodies by being inserted into an aperture formed in either of the first or second bodies.
- The first and second bodies may be formed from brass.
- In a power to open mode, the second body is adjacent the solenoid plunger and at least a portion of the first body is located within the void to lock the electronic lock.
- In a power to lock mode, the first body is adjacent the solenoid plunger and at least a portion of the first body moving into the void to lock the electronic lock.
- The electronic lock may be an electronic door strike.
- An embodiment of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
Figure 1 illustrates is an end view of a mode selector for an electronic lock according to an embodiment of the invention; -
Figure 2 is a cross section view along the line A-A offigure 1 ; -
Figure 3 is a cut-away view of an electric door strike including the mode selector offigure 1 in the Power to Open mode with no power applied; -
Figure 4 is a cut away and exploded view of the lock offigure 3 ; -
Figure 5 is a cross sectional view along the line B-B offigure 3 ; -
Figure 6 shows the lock offigure 3 in the Power to Open mode with power applied; -
Figure 7 shows the lock offigure 3 in the Power to Lock mode with no power applied; and -
Figure 8 shows the lock offigure 3 in the Power to Lock mode with power applied. - Referring to
figure 1 , amode selector 3 is shown in end view. One end of a first body is shown in the form ofbrass cylinder 2. - Referring to
figure 2 , themode selector 3 is shown in side cross sectional view. A second body in the form of brass cylinder 2' is shown which is of a different size tocylinder 2 by way of being of a different length. - The
cylinders 2, 2' are spaced apart by a resilient member in the form of metalhelical spring 1.Spring 1 is mounted coaxially of thecylinders 2, 2' and is inserted into apertures formed in either of the first and second cylinders. A small amount of adhesive is used to affix each end ofspring 1 into the apertures. -
Spring 1 is resilient. If the spring is elastically deformed, then it will return to its original shape as shown infigure 2 . - Referring to
figure 3 , an electronic lock of the type known as an electric door strike is shown including alock body 11 and aface plate 8.Mode selector 3 is shown lying in a cylindrical aperture in lock body and is biased againstsolenoid plunger 7 by way ofspring 4 which operates as the solenoid return spring.Keeper 6 is pivotally mounted in the lock in a conventional manner - In use, the lock is mounted in a door frame and controls access through the door. The latch of the door is retained in a recess behind the
keeper 6. If the keeper is free to move, then the latch is free to be released from the aperture behind the keeper and the lock is said to be unlocked. In this state, the door may be pushed open and the keeper pivots to release the latch. If the keeper is not free to move then the lock is said to be locked. When the lock is locked, the door may only be opened by withdrawing the latch by use of a key or interior door handle. - Referring to
figure 4 ,mode selector 3 may be removed from the lock byunscrewing end cap 5. The lock is switched between PTO and PTL modes by removing the mode selector, changing its orientation, and re-insertingmode selector 3 back into the lock and refittingend cap 5. - Referring also now to
figures 6 to 8 , the operation of the various modes of the lock will now be explained. - In
figures 3 and6 , the lock is shown in the Power to Open (PTO) mode. It is important to note the orientation of themode selector 3. Thelonger cylinder 2 is shown to the left, and the shorter cylinder 2' is to the right. That is to say, the mode selector has been inserted into the lock with the shorter cylinder 2' being inserted first as shown infigure 4 . - In
figure 3 , no power is being supplied tosolenoid 7.Spring 4 biases the mode selector and solenoid to the right. It can be seen that a portion of thelonger cylinder 2 extends intovoid 9 provided in lock body. This obstructs movement ofkeeper 6 and thus the lock is locked. - The obstruction of the
keeper 6 bycylinder 2 is illustrated inFigure 5 . It can be seen that the diameter of thecylinders 2, 2' is greater than the width ofcurved slot 10. Thus, the keeper is obstructed. However, the diameter ofspring 1 is less than the width ofslot 10. Thus, if neither ofcylinders 2 or 2' extend intovoid 9, then the keeper is unobstructed. As the keeper moves,spring 1 is loosely received inslot 10. - Referring to
figure 6 , power is now being supplied tosolenoid 7 and it has moved the mode selector to the left against the force ofspring 4. Note thatspring 4 has been compressed. It can be seen that no part of either ofcylinders 2 or 2' extend intovoid 9. Thus, the keeper is not obstructed from moving pivotally and the lock is open. - In
figures 7 and8 , the lock is shown in the Power to Lock (PTL) mode. The orientation of the mode selector has been changed when compared withfigures 3 and6 . Thelonger cylinder 2 is shown to the right, and the shorter cylinder 2' is to the left. That is to say, the mode selector has been inserted into the lock with thelonger cylinder 2 being inserted first. - In
figure 7 , no power is supplied to solenoid.Spring 4 biases the mode selector and solenoid to the left. It can be seen that no part of either ofcylinders 2 or 2' extend intovoid 9. Thus, the keeper is not obstructed from moving pivotally and the lock is open. - Referring to
figure 8 , power is now being supplied tosolenoid 7 and it has moved themode selector 3 to the left against the force ofspring 4. Note thatspring 4 has been compressed. It can be seen that a portion ofcylinder 2 extends intovoid 9 provided in lock body. This obstructs movement ofkeeper 6 and thus the lock is locked. - Whenever the lock is in the locked state, it is due to
cylinder 2 ofmode selector 3 extending across the boundary between thelock body 1 and thevoid 9. Whencylinder 2 extends into thevoid 9 the lock is said to be locked. Sometimes in use, thecylinder 2 may experience a high load such as if an attempt is made to force open the lock by a person striking a blow to the door or lock. This may cause some small local deformation ofspring 1. However,spring 1 is resilient and returns to its original shape thus ensuring correct alignment of the twocylinders 2 and 2'. - Any reference to prior art contained herein is not to be taken as an admission that the information is common general knowledge, unless otherwise indicated.
- Finally, it is to be appreciated that various alterations or additions may be made to the parts previously described without departing from the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
