Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a key pin for a cylinder lock as well as to the cylinder lock provided with at least one such key pin.
  • pin tumbler lock Different types of cylinder locks are known of which the pin tumbler lock is widely used, where pin assemblies comprising a key pin, a driver pin and possibly a spacer pin for master keying, are arranged in channels through the cylinder housing and the cylinder, also known as the plug, which is rotatable in the housing for opening of the lock, provided that division lines between the pins in each pin assembly is situated at the shear line between the cylinder and the housing by means of a particular key for the particular arrangement of pin assemblies.
  • the pin tumbler locks are susceptible to unauthorized opening by means of a so-called bump key, which is a key where the notches for engaging the tips of the key pins all are positioned at the lowermost level.
  • bump key is a key where the notches for engaging the tips of the key pins all are positioned at the lowermost level.
  • a torque is applied to the bump key and the free end of the bump key is given an impact that transfers a momentum to the tips of the key pins, which again transfers the momentum to the driver pins which abuts the key pins.
  • the momentum forces the drive pins upward away from the key pins and the cylinder may be turned when none of the drive pins blocks the shear line between the cylinder and the housing.
  • the use of bump keys for unauthorized opening of locks is fast and does not require much training as compared to picking of the lock and constitutes for that reason a particular problem regarding securing of premises, such as housings by means of locks.
  • lock picking such as by means of a lock pick gun, also operates with imposing an impact on the key pin in order to transfer momentum to the driver pin.
  • EP 2 085 542 A1 which provides a solution where an "anti-bumping pin” is provided, where the anti-bumping pin has a smaller diameter in its upper and lower portions than that in its middle portion so as to prevent the "anti-bumping pin” from getting into contact with a bump key.
  • the present invention relates to a key pin for a cylinder lock comprising an end part of a tapering shape, preferably a conically shape such as a frusto-conical shape, or alternatively hemispherical, suitable to be in abutment with a key when the key is inserted in a cylinder of the cylinder lock, wherein the key pin comprises a first pin part and a second pin part, the first pin part having a base part and a central protrusion extending from said base part, wherein said protrusion has a width (W1) which is smaller than the width of said base part, wherein the second pin part has a longitudinal extend of at least the longitudinal extend of the central protrusion and comprises a recess arranged to receive said protrusion, the second pin part having an outer width of substantially the same as the width of said base part.
  • a key pin for a cylinder lock comprising an end part of a tapering shape, preferably a conically shape such as a frusto-conical shape
  • the end part of the key pin is arranged on one of the first and the second pin part, preferably on the first pin part.
  • the end part may be formed integrally in the pin part or alternatively be formed in a wear resistant hard metal.
  • outer width of the base part and width of the second pin part is herein understood the width of the widest section of the pin part.
  • the widest sections of the first and second pin parts are substantially of the same width, i.e. within 0.08, such as within 0.05 millimetres so that they fit into standard channels in cylinder locks of constant and uniform inner diameters.
  • the length of the protrusion is smaller than the length of second pin part comprising said recess so that the protrusion does not extent beyond the second pin part and comes into contact with the neighbouring pin in the pin assembly, i.e. the drive pin or, in case the lock is used in master keying, a spacer pin.
  • the key pin it is important that an impact from e.g. a bump key on the end part of the key pin causes the pin part having the end part to transfer momentum to the other pin part which then transfers momentum to the neighbouring pin.
  • the key pin according to the present invention will be effective against the use of bump keys as well as other types of unauthorized opening of a lock.
  • the key pin which consists of said first pin part and said second pin part only for simplicity of the key pin.
  • the protrusion is preferably a rotational symmetrical body, more preferably cylindrical in shape.
  • the base part comprises preferably a substantially annular base surface for abutting the second pin part.
  • the length of said protrusion represents preferably 20% - 70% such as about 25% - 50%, e.g. around 30-45% of the overall length of the first pin part.
  • the lenght of the protrusion is preferably at least 50% such as at least 60% e.g. at least 80%, e.g. at least 90% of the length of the second pin part having the recess.
  • the length of the protrusion is preferably in the range of 2 to 5 millimetres, such as 2.5 to 4 millimetres.
  • the base part has preferably a length in the range of 2 to 6 millimetres, such as 3 to 5 millimetres.
  • the second pin part comprising the recess has preferably a length in the range of 1.5 to 6 millimetres, such as in the range of 2 to 4 millimetres.
  • the recess is preferably a through hole in the second pin part, but may alternatively be a blind hole. It is preferred that the recess is of a cylindrical shape.
