Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lock mechanism, in particular to a lock mechanism having an improved strength.
  • the problem is inherent in the design of the Euro profile cylinder.
  • the Euro profile cylinder loch 2 has a "keyhole" shaped profile that has a narrow central section 4, extending below the cam 6, that holds the two halves 8, 10 together.
  • the strength of this central section 4 is severely compromised as a fixing hole 12 passes through it. This leaves a very small “bridge” of material above and below the fixing hole that is susceptible to snapping if a strong tool is inserted into the lock and a sharp angular movement is applied.
  • Figure 2 which depicts a snapped euro profile cylinder lock, the actual structural thickness of the lock in this section leaves only a very small area of material 14, 16 on either side of the fixing hole 12 which compromises the overall strength of the lock.
  • the present invention proposes a new lock design that offers improved strength.
  • a locking system for a closure comprising: a casement lock comprising: a primary locking means moveable between secured and retracted positions in respective first and second directions; primary actuation means for selective movement of the primary locking means in the first and second directions; secondary locking means selectively operable to prevent movement of the primary locking means in the second direction; the casement lock further comprising an opening therein for receiving a cylinder lock therethrough for selectively actuating the secondary locking means; wherein said locking system is further provided with at least a first adaptor block receivable and removable in said opening and to modify the shape of said opening to accept to substantially conform to the shape of either a euro profile cylinder lock or an alternative profile cylinder lock.
  • a locking system can be provided which can be used with a traditional euro profile cylinder, which will be understood by the skilled person to be one having the profile shown in Figure 1 , but which, if required, can be adapted to take a cylinder lock having an alternative profile.
  • non standard profiles which can be designed with greater inherent strength to overcome the problems associated with snapping of lock cylinders.
  • said opening and adaptor block define an opening profile for receiving and closely surrounds a euro profile cylinder lock so as to prevent rotation thereof.
  • said at least first adaptor block defines an opening profile that receives and closely surrounds said alternative profile cylinder lock so as to prevent rotation thereof.
  • a lock can be provided that can at any time be upgraded from a standard euro profile lock cylinder to an improved strength lock cylinder having a different profile if higher security is required.
  • the locking system may further be provided with a second adaptor block and with the second adaptor block located in said opening said opening and adaptor block define an opening profile for receiving and closely surrounding an alternative cylinder lock so as to prevent rotation thereof.
  • the first adaptor block is replaced with a second adaptor block which modifies the shape of the opening that receives the cylinder lock.
  • the locking system preferably further comprises a cylinder lock.
  • the cylinder lock comprises: a top section comprising a barrel at either end having a through passage, said barrels separated by a cam opening, two locks provided one at each end in the through passage, and a cam member located between the locks; and a lower section extending along the length of the cylinder lock and comprising a bridge section joining the barrels at either end across the cam opening.
  • the cylinder lock may comprise a euro profile cylinder lock.
  • the cylinder lock comprises an alternative profile cylinder lock.
  • alternative profile refers to a cylinder lock that has a profile which is not the industry standard "euro profile” as described in relation to Figure 1 .
  • the bottom section of the cylinder lock has a cross sectional area, and when said cylinder lock is an alternative, non euro profile, cylinder lock, the cross section area of the bottom section of the alternative profile cylinder lock is greater than that of a standard euro profile cylinder lock.
  • the top section of the alternative cylinder lock has a first width and the bottom section of the alternative cylinder lock has a second width, and the second width is substantially equal to said first width.
  • the adaptor block modifies the opening size to reduce its width to a first width to closely conform to a euro profile cylinder.
  • the second adaptor block located in said opening modifies the opening size to reduce its width to a second width, said second width greater than said first width.
  • the alternative cylinder lock has a height which is greater than that of a standard euro profile cylinder lock.
  • the adaptor block modifies the opening size to reduce its height to a first height. In this manner the opening can closely receive a euro profile cylinder lock with the adaptor in place and closely receive an alternative higher cylinder lock with the at least first adaptor block removed.
  • the adaptor block modifies the opening size to reduce its height to a second height, said second height being greater than said first height. This also facilitates the use of the casement lock with cylinder locks of different heights.
  • the at least first adaptor block is provided with a threaded hole in its lower surface for receiving a retaining screw therein.
  • said casement lock has a hole in a lower face thereof, and a screw passes through said hole and into said threaded hole in said at least first adaptor block so as to retain it in place.
  • the second adaptor block may be retained in the same manner.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show a known lock of the euro profile cylinder according to the prior art and is described above.
  • Figure 3 shows an alternative non euro profile cylinder lock which has an improved resistance to snapping compared to the euro profile cylinder lock shown in Figures 1 and 2 .
  • the thickness of the lower section i.e. below the cam 106 is wider than that of the euro profile cylinder. It can also be seen that the height of the lower section, i.e. the section from the base of the locks 108 to the bottom of the cylinder lock, is greater than that of the euro profile cylinder lock depicted in Figures 1 and 2 .
  • FIG. 4 to 8 a locking system is shown which enables a quick change over between a euro profile cylinder, as shown in Figure 1 , and the increased strength non-euro profile alternative cylinder lock 102 shown in Figure 3 .
  • Standard euro profile cylinder locks are cheap to manufacture due to the large number of these cylinder locks that are produced and, accordingly, give a very good value solution where additional security is not required.
  • casement locks that accept the euro profile cylinder are produced and sold in relatively high quantities which enables their production to take advantage of the benefits of mass manufacture resulting in efficient manufacture of these products.
  • the present invention proposes a solution to the problem in which a common casement lock 112 is provided with an adaptor block 114 that can be inserted and/or removed to adapt the casement lock 112 to accept either a standard euro profile lock cylinder or to accept the alternative improved strength cylinder lock 102 described above.
  • the casement lock 112 may be any form of known casement lock that accepts a cylinder lock therethrough.
  • the casement lock has a primary locking means 116 which is moveable between a secured and retracted position in a first and second direction.
  • a closure for example a door
  • the primary locking means 116 interacts with some form of abutment member located in or on a frame surrounding the opening that the closure closes, for example an abutment within a door frame.
  • the primary locking means 116 as shown in Figure 4 comprises a hook member which is rotatable about its pivot point 120 in the first and second directions to enable it to hook around the aforementioned abutment means on the closure frame.
  • a primary actuation means 122 is provided, the movement of which moves the primary locking means between its secured and retracted positions.
  • the primary actuation means comprises a rotatable member 112.
  • the member 112 is rotated by means of a square spindle which passes therethrough and attaches to a handle of the type known in the art on at least one side of the closure.
  • a secondary locking means within the casement lock is operable to prevent movement of the primary locking means 116 in its second direction, i.e.
  • the secondary locking means therefore prevents unlocking of the closure by preventing movement of the primary locking means. Details of the secondary locking means are not shown in Figure 4 but will be apparent to those skilled in the art and may be of any form known in the prior art.
  • the casement lock has an opening 124 therein for receiving a cylinder lock. In use the cylinder lock selectively actuates the secondary locking means.
  • the locking system is also provided with an adaptor block 114 that can be received or removed from the opening 124 so as to modify the shape of the opening.
  • the adaptor block 114 can adapt the shape of the opening so that it either conforms to the shape of the euro profile cylinder lock or so that it conforms to the shape of an alternative profile cylinder lock, for example the cylinder lock shown in Figure 3 .
  • Figure 4 shows the adaptor block 114 removed from the opening 124 and Figure 5 shows the adaptor block 114 located within the opening 124.
  • the adaptor block 114 modifies the shape of the opening, in particular at its lower section so that, as shown in Figure 6 the adaptor block 114 closely surrounds, and conforms to, the shape of the lower section of a euro profile cylinder 2 when a euro profile cylinder is inserted through the opening 124. By conforming to and closely surrounding the lower part of the cylinder lock 2 the adaptor block 114 prevents rotation of the cylinder lock 2.
  • the opening 124 receives and closely surrounds the alternative non-euro profile cylinder lock 102 so as to prevent rotation of the cylinder lock within the opening 124.
  • the locking system of the present invention therefore provides a casement type locking system which can be used with either a euro profile cylinder lock or alternatively with an alternative non-euro profile cylinder lock.
  • a simple adaptor block 114 allows the casement lock 112 to be reconfigured to accept either one of these cylinder locks.
  • the embodiments described above relate to an embodiment in which the adaptor block 114 is inserted into the opening 124 when a euro profile cylinder lock 2 is used and which is removed from the opening 124 when a non-euro profile alternative cylinder 102 is used. It will, however, be appreciated by the skilled person that two adaptor blocks 114 may be provided, one of which is shaped to adapt the shape of the opening 124 to accept and closely surround a euro profile cylinder lock and a second alternative adaptor block which may be shaped differently from the first adaptor block 114 so as to modify the shape of the opening 124 to receive and adapt a second alternative cylinder lock design, which may be the cylinder lock 102 shown in Figure 3 or may be an alternative cylinder lock design.
  • the exact shape of the cross section of the improved cylinder locck design 102 used for the invention is not limited to the shape of the cylinder lock 102 shown in Figure 3 and that other designs may be used providing that the cross sectional area where the fixing hole 12 passes through the lower section of the cylinder lock is greater than that of the standard euro profile cylinder lock.
