Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lock cylinder arrangement intended and arranged for being fixed to a lock casing and for control of a lock mechanism arranged in the lock casing.
  • the invention also relates to a lock arrangement comprising such a lock cylinder arrangement.
  • mortise locks for doors, windows, gates and the like are often designed as mortise locks.
  • mortise locks comprise a lock case which forms a housing for a lock mechanism and which, when mounted to the door or the like is recessed or mortised into a cavity arranged in the door blade.
  • the lock mechanism comprises movable parts such as cylinder followers and link arrangements which are mechanically connected to one or several bolts e.g. a latch bolt and/or a dead bolt, which bolts may be arranged inside or outside of the lock case.
  • a lock cylinder may be fixed to the lock case and connected to the lock mechanism.
  • the lock cylinder comprises a cylinder housing and a cylinder core, sometimes called cylinder plug, which is rotatably accommodated in an axial bore of the cylinder housing.
  • the cylinder housing may also be referred to as a stator and the core may be referred to as a rotor.
  • the core is connected to the lock mechanism such that the bolt or bolts may be manoeuvred by rotation of the core.
  • the core may e.g. be connected to a cylinder follower arranged in the lock case by means of a tailpiece which is fixed to that axial end of cylinder core which lies proximal to the lock case, when mounted.
  • movement of the bolts is achieved by manoeuvring of a special manoeuvring device, such as a handle, a knob or an electrical arrangement.
  • a special manoeuvring device such as a handle, a knob or an electrical arrangement.
  • the cylinder core is connected to blocking means comprised in the lock mechanism.
  • the blocking means is arranged to selectively allow and prevent manoeuvring of the bolt and may be controlled by means of rotating the cylinder core.
  • the lock cylinder may be arranged such that an authorisation is required for admitting manoeuvring of the bolts.
  • Such an authorization may be accomplished in many different ways, e.g. mechanically, electrically or by a combination of electrical and mechanical means.
  • the lock cylinder is normally then provided with a set of pin tumblers which are displaceably received in pin tumbler chambers arranged in the cylinder housing and in the core.
  • the cylinder core exhibits an axially arranged key channel into which a mechanical key with a code surface may be inserted.
  • the code surface acts as a cam and displaces or lifts the pin tumblers. If a correct or authorized key is inserted the pin tumblers are displaced to positions such that no pin tumbler extends between the pin tumbler chambers arranged in the cylinder housing and the cylinder core. Thereby the core is allowed to be rotated in order to manoeuver the lock mechanism.
  • the lock cylinder may be provided with electronic authorization control means, such as a key pad for entering a code or an RFID reader for detecting a code transmitted from an RFID transmitter worn by the user.
  • electronic authorization control means such as a key pad for entering a code or an RFID reader for detecting a code transmitted from an RFID transmitter worn by the user.
  • lock cylinders may be arranged to prevent rotation of the core relative to the housing if no authorized code has been presented.
  • the manoeuvring of the lock mechanism by means of rotating the core may however also be selectively allowed and prevented by other means.
  • the core may be connected to the tail piece by means of a coupling device which selectively connects and disconnects the core with the tail piece in response to whether or not an authorized code has been presented. If no authorized code has been presented the core is disconnected from the tail piece such that rotation of the core is not transmitted to the tail piece or the loch mechanism, whereby the lock mechanism may not be manoeuvred or controlled by rotating the core.
  • the cylinder core may comprise various different means for bringing about rotation. Instead of being provided with a key channel for insertion of a key which is used for rotating the core, it may comprise or be connected to a knob, a thumb turn, a handle or any electrical means such as a motor or a solenoid for rotating the core.
  • the present invention is applicable to all the above mentioned exemplifying variations and uses of a lock cylinder arrangement.
  • Fig. 0 illustrates a previously known door lock of the above described type which comprises a lock cylinder arrangement.
  • the known lock comprises a lock case 100 that is recessed in a door leaf which has a high security outside 101 and an inside 102, which forms a lower security or convenient side of the door.
  • a first lock cylinder 103a is fixed to the inside of the lock case and a second cylinder 103b is fixed to the outside of the lock case.
  • the two lock cylinders each have a cylinder housing and a core 104 which is rotatable in the cylinder housing.
  • the core has a key channel. When a correct key is inserted into the key channel, the core can be rotated relative to the cylinder housing by turning the key.
  • the core's rotational movement is transferred to a cylinder follower in the lock case 100 by means of a tail piece 105 which is fixed to the end portion of the core 104, which end faces the lock case 100.
  • Rotation of the cylinder follower in turn affects a locking mechanism in the lock case for actuating a bolt 106 and a latch 107.
  • the two cylinders are fixed to the lock housing using screws 108 which are inserted from the inside through the inner cylinder 103a and the lock housing 100 and which, from the inside, are screwed into threaded holes arranged in the outer cylinder 103b.
  • EP 0 072 803 B1 describes another example of such an arrangement, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • These arrangements have the advantage of that the mounting screws are not accessible from the outside of the door, which outside should exhibit a high degree of security.
  • the arrangements however, have the serious disadvantage in that a specific cylinder cannot be used both on the outside and on the inside. They are thus not, what in the industry is known as reversible. Instead, the cylinders must be designed either as outside cylinders with threaded non through holes or as internal cylinders with through holes which are provided with internal stops for axial support of the mounting screw heads.
  • reversible cylinders which are designed as the above described interior cylinder (103a).
  • the exterior and the interior cylinders are then fixed to the lock housing by means of the respective sets of mounting screws being inserted through each cylinder from the end facing away from the lock case and screwed into threaded holes arranged in the lock case.
  • the cylinder is made reversible whereby one and the same cylinder can be used on both the outside and the inside of the door.
  • the arrangement has however the disadvantage that the mounting screws are accessible from the outside of the door, which seriously reduces the security.
  • US 6,860,129 discloses another lock arrangement comprising an outer and an inner lock cylinder and a lock core.
  • the outer lock cylinder is secured to the lock core by means of an outer sleeve, an outer collar provided with locking notches and a locking pin.
  • a head of the locking pin is received in the locking notches and the pin extends through the lock core such that an end of the pin is in contact with an inner collar of the lock arrangement.
  • drill protection normally consists of plates and / or rods which are formed in a high strength material and which are introduced in various particularly sensitive parts of the lock cylinder to prevent these parts, through drilling in the lock cylinder, from being removed or destroyed in order to force the lock.
  • US 6,301,942 discloses a lock cylinder provided with drilling protection organs.
  • a problem with prior art drilling protection is that it is complicated and space-consuming to obtain a good fixation of the drilling protection parts in the lock cylinder.
  • a decorative cylinder ring 109a, 109b is arranged around the cylinder 103a, 103b on the outside of the door.
  • the cylinder ring 109 may be internally threaded and secured to the cylinder by being threaded onto an external thread provided on the envelope surface of the lock cylinder.
  • the cylinder ring 109 may be fixed to the cylinder by being slipped onto the outside and fixed in position with a radially disposed small fixing screw which is screwed into contact with envelope surface of the lock cylinder.
  • the function of the cylinder ring 109 is to cover the hole in the door through which the cylinder protrudes and thus to provide a neat installation.
  • a decorative cover or cap 110a, 110b can be applied around the cylinder, radially inside cylinder ring, so that the entire lock cylinder, apart from the key channel mouth is concealed under cover.
  • the cap 110a, 110b can be fixed by means of the cylinder ring fixing screw extending through a slot in the cap 110 or by a simple resilient snap element which is snapped into a designated recess in the envelope surface of the lock cylinder.
  • US 7,389,660 discloses another known arrangement for fixation of a cylinder ring to a lock cylinder according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the screw protection means may comprise a plug or the like which covers at least one mounting screw by which the lock cylinder is fixed to the lock casing.
  • the plug is arranged at that end of the screw which is used for inserting a screw driver or any other tool for screwing the mounting screw when mounting and dismounting the lock cylinder.
  • the lock cylinder may further be provided with plug locking means which prevent removal of the plug when the cylinder core is in a locked state and which allow removal of the plug when the core has been rotated to an unlocked state.
  • EP 0 072 803 B1 discloses a lock according to the preamble of claim 1, with a previously known screw protection means comprising a plug of the above described type, which plug is provided with a waist portion.
  • a radially displaceable pin is arranged in a radial bore of the lock housing.
  • a corresponding radial bore is arranged in the lock core.
  • An outward end of the pin may be brought in and out of engagement with the waist portion of the plug to thereby respectively prevent and allow removal of the plug.
  • the pin is displaceable out of engagement with the waist portion only when the cylinder core has been rotated, by means of an authorized key, such that the two radial bores are in register with each other.
  • This known screw protection arrangement thus provides for that only persons being in possession of an authorized key are able to remove the plug and to dismount the mounting screws.
  • the known arrangement however exhibits some disadvantages in that it is comparatively complicated to manufacture a cylinder housing and a core with said radial bores.
  • the pin and bores further requires comparatively large space within the cylinder housing and the core and the arrangement requires a comparatively large number of movable parts.
  • Another object to provide such a lock cylinder arrangement with an enhanced fixation of a decorative cylinder ring and cylinder cap.
  • a still further object is to provide such a lock cylinder arrangement at which the cylinder ring and cylinder cap being arranged at an outer lock cylinder can be removed only after gaining access to the inside of the door.
  • Yet another object is to provide such a lock cylinder arrangement at which requires dismounting of the lock cylinder from the lock casing for allowing removal of the cylinder ring and the cap.
  • the lock cylinder arrangement is intended for fixation to a lock casing and for control of a lock mechanism arranged in the lock casing.
  • the lock cylinder arrangement comprises a cylinder housing having a first axial end arranged to be positioned distal to the lock casing and a second axial end being opposite to the first axial end and arranged to be positioned proximal to the lock casing.
  • a cylinder core is rotatably accommodated in the cylinder housing.
  • a cylinder ring is mountable coaxially around the cylinder housing.
  • a cylinder cap is mountable coaxially around the cylinder housing, radially inside of the cylinder ring.
  • the cylinder ring comprises a radially inwardly projecting stop which, in cooperation with a locking ring received in a locking grove arranged in the envelope surface of the cylinder housing, limits axial displacement of the cylinder ring towards the first axial end of the cylinder housing.
  • the cylinder housing and the cylinder cap are provided with interacting locking means which are arranged to limit axial displacement of the cylinder cap toward the first axial end of the cylinder housing, when the cylinder ring surrounds said locking means.
  • the cylinder ring and the cap may be easily mounted to the lock cylinder before the lock cylinder has been fixed to a lock casing.
  • Theft of the cylinder ring and the cap is however prevented in an efficient manner, since removal of the cylinder ring and cap requires that the lock cylinder is detached from the lock casing. Such removal of the lock cylinder may only be accomplished after having gained access to the inside of the door or the like.
  • the locking means may comprise a radially inwardly projecting snap hook and a radially outwardly projecting locking tap arranged on the cylinder cap and a snap recess arranged in the envelope surface of the cylinder housing, which snap recess is arranged to receive the snap hook.
  • the snap hook and the locking tab may be arranged on a resilient tongue of the cylinder cap.
  • An axial groove may be arranged in the envelope surface of the cylinder housing, which groove extends from the first axial end surface of the cylinder housing and opens to the snap recess.
  • the cylinder cap may be formed of a sheet metal or polymer material.
  • the cylinder ring may comprise a front axial portion arranged to lie proximal to the first axial end of the cylinder housing, an intermediate portion and a rear axial portion arranged to lie distal to the first axial end of the cylinder housing.
  • the front axial portion then exhibits a first inner diameter; the intermediate axial portion exhibits a second inner diameter which is larger than the first diameter and the rear axial portion exhibits a third inner diameter, which is smaller than the first and the second diameters.
  • the locking ring may exhibit an outer diameter which is smaller than the first and the second inner diameters and larger than the third inner diameter of the cylinder ring, when the locking ring is received in the locking groove.
  • the intermediate portion may be arranged to abut the lock tab for pressing the snap hook into the snap recess when the cylinder is positioned around the cylinder cap and cylinder housing.
  • the intermediate portion may be conical and exhibit the second inner diameter at an axial end of said intermediate portion being distal to the front axial portion.
  • the intermediate portion may exhibit a circumferential recess which defines the second inner diameter.
  • the locking ring may be resilient for allowing releasable snap fixation in the locking groove.
  • Figs. 1a and 1b illustrates a cylinder lock arrangement comprising two identical reversible lock cylinders.
  • Fig. 1a shows an inner lock cylinder 1 and an outer lock cylinder 2. The figure does not show the intermediate lock case arranged between the cylinders, to which lock case the cylinders are fixed.
  • the two cylinders 1, 2 are identical. They exhibit a respective first axial end 1a, 2a which is intended to be located distal to the lock case and a respective second end 1b, 2b arranged opposite to the first end and intended to be arranged proximal to the lock case.
  • Each lock cylinder 1, 2 comprises a cylinder housing 1c, 2c and a core 1d, 2d, which is rotatably accommodated in the cylinder housing 1c, 2c.
  • a set of fixation devices 3, 4 are provided for fixing of the two cylinders 1, 2, to each other and to the lock case.
  • Each fixation device comprises a first fixation member 3 being stationary and a second fixation member 4 being rotary.
  • the two fixation members of each fixation device have cooperating engagement parts for fixing engagement.
  • the first fixation member 3 consists of a nut bushing with an internal thread
  • the second fixation member 4 consists of a screw with external thread.
  • the first fixation member has an external thread and the second fixation member an internal thread.
  • the engagement between the first fixation member and the second fixation member is achieved by means of a bayonet-engagement or the like.
  • each bore comprises a main portion 5 and a mouth portion 6.
  • the main portion 5 extends from the second cylinder end 1b, 2b to the mouth portion 6 which is arranged adjacent the first cylinder end 1a, 2a.
  • the mouth portion 6 is axially divided into an inner mouth portion 6a, being arranged proximal to the main portion 5 and an outer mouth portion 6b being arranged adjacent the first end 2a och the cylinder housing 2.
  • the outer mouth portion 6b extends a small distance, approx.
  • the main portion 5 has a circular cross section with a first diameter D1.
  • the outer mouth portion 6b has a polygonal cross section with a larger cross sectional area than the inner mouth portion 6a and than the main portion 5.
  • a first axial stop 7 having a generally annular abutment surface is arranged at an inner bottom of the outer mouth potion 6b.
  • the first axial stop 7 is substantially parallel to both cylinder end faces.
  • the first axial stop 7 has a circular inner edge and a polygonal outer edge.
  • the outer mouth portion 6b is thus defined by the first axial stop 7 and by a wall which is arranged perpendicular to the first axial stop 7 and which comprises a number of planar wall segments 8.
  • the inner mouth portion 6a has a circular cross section with a second diameter D2 and a cross sectional area that is smaller than the cross sectional area of the outer mouth portion 6b but larger than the main portion 5.
  • a second axial stop 9a having a generally annular abutment surface is arranged at an inner bottom of the inner mouth potion 6a.
  • the second axial stop 9a is substantially parallel to both cylinder end faces.
  • the second axial stop 9a has a circular inner edge and a circular outer edge.
  • the inner mouth portion 6a is thus defined by the second axial stop 9a and by a cylindrical wall 9b which is arranged perpendicular to the second axial stop 9a and which extends to the first axial stop 7.
  • Each first fixation member 3 comprises an internally threaded cylindrical sleeve portion 3a and a first head portion 3b.
  • the sleeve portion 3a has an outer diameter which is slightly smaller than the inner mouth portion's 6a inner diameter D2, so that the sleeve portion 3a can be inserted in the inner mouth portion 6a and therein threadedly receive an externally threaded end 4a (see Figure 1a ) of the second fixation member 4.
  • First head portion 3b has a cross sectional area which is larger than the sleeve portion's 3a cross-sectional area and the cross sectional area of the inner mouth portion 6a. The first head portion 3b can thus not be inserted into the inner mouth portion 6a.
  • the cross section of the first head portion 3b is further polygonal with a shape corresponding to the outer mouth portion's 6b polygonal cross section, so that the first fixation member 3 is prevented from rotating relative to the cylinder 1, 2, by means of form locking between the first head portion 3b and the wall segments 8 of the outer mouth portion 6b.
  • the rotatable second fixation members 4 each have a cylindrical second head portion 4b.
  • the end surface of the second head portion 4b is provided with a groove (not shown) for engagement by a screwdriver or the like.
  • the second head portion 4b has a diameter that is larger than the diameter D1 of the bore's main portion 5, but smaller than the diameter D2 of the inner mouth portion 6a.

  • the second fixation members 4 are further pushed such that their threaded portions 4a are passed through corresponding mounting holes (not shown) arranged in the lock casing (not shown) and into the main portion 5 and the inner mouth portion 6a of the second cylinder 2.
  • the first fixation members 3 are introduced into the second, outer cylinder 2 from the first side 2a so that the first head portions 3b are anti-rotationally engaged with the wall segments 8 of the outer mouth portions 6b.
  • the second fixation members 4 are thereafter screwed into threaded engagement with the first fixation members 3.
  • first axial stops 7 of the second cylinder 2 prevents the first fixation members 3 from being displaced towards the first cylinder 1.
  • the second axial stops 9 of the first cylinder 1 will prevent the second fixation members 4a from being displaced towards the second cylinder 2.
  • an axial contractive force is thus achieved, which forces the first 1 and second 2 cylinder to secure abutment against the intermediate lock case (not shown).
  • the form locking between the wall segments 8 and the first fixation member's 3 first head portions 3b prevents the first fixation members 3 from being unscrewed from the outside of the door.
  • the two identical and therefore reversible cylinders 1, 2 may thus be dismounted only from the inside of the door.
  • the first head portion 3b of the first fixation members 3 are further provided with an outwardly convex end surface, which renders it difficult to remove the first fixation members 3 by drilling from the outside of the door.
  • fixation devices and the bores may be varied in a number of different ways within the scope of the appended claims. It is e.g. possible to arrange the mouth portion as a single mouth portion having a constant cross section over its entire axial length. In such a case, the arrangement comprises a single axial stop which is arranged at the bottom of the mouth portion. The head portions of both the first and the second fixation members then has a cross sectional area which is larger than the bore's main portion but smaller or equal to the cross sectional area of the mouth portion. Thus, the single axial stop then prevents the head portions of both the first and the second fixation members from being axially displaced into the bore's main portion.
  • the first fixation members may be formed with a constant cross section over its entire axial length. In such case the entire first fixation member constitutes a first head portion.
  • first head portion constitutes the entire first fixation member or an axial portion thereof
  • relative rotation between the first fixation member and the cylinder may be achieved by other means than by corresponding polygonal cross sections.
  • the mouth portions and the first head portions may e.g. exhibit corresponding non-circular cross sections other than polygonal, such as oval, elliptic or other rounded non-circular shapes.
  • the first head portion and the mouth portion may even be provided with corresponding circular cross sections.
  • relative rotation between the first fixation member and the cylinder may be provided by means of friction locking between the first head portion and the mouth portion.
  • Such a friction locking may be achieved by means of press fitting, force fitting, tight fitting and the like of the first head portion in the mouth portion.
  • the friction between the first head portion and the mouth portion may be increased by means of knurling or other friction increasing means being provided to the first head portion and/or the walls of the mouth portion.
  • Relative rotation between the first head portion and the cylinder may also be achieved by means of interacting form locking and/or friction locking means arranged at an axial end surface of the first head portion and/or on the axial stop arranged at the bottom of the mouth portion.
  • the second fixation members may comprise more than one component.
  • at least one second fixation member may comprise a rod which at least at its end portions exhibits an external thread and a sleeve or the like which is threaded onto one end of the rod. The sleeve then may form the second head portion.
  • a recess, a protrusion or the like for engaging a tool may be provided, e.g. at an end surface of the sleeve, such that the sleeve and the rod may be jointly screwed by means of a screw driver or the like for bringing the other end of the rod into engagement with a first fixation member.
  • the fixation device may thus comprise an externally threaded rod and two internally threaded sleeves, ring nuts, nuts or the like.
  • the lock cylinder arrangement is provided with four axial bores arranged in each lock cylinder and four fixation devices. It is however possible to vary the number bores and corresponding fixation devices. At the type of lock cylinder exhibiting an oval cross section it has been proven suitable to provide each cylinder with only two bores and the lock arrangement with two corresponding fixation devices.
  • each lock cylinder Upon mounting two cylinders at a respective side of a lock case it may, at some applications, be advantageous to insert some of the first fixation devices from a first side of the lock case and some of the first fixation devices from a second side of the lock case. A corresponding number second fixation devices are then inserted from the respective opposite side of the lock case.
  • the mouth portions of each lock cylinder will accommodate both first and second head portions.
