Definitions

  • the object of the present description is a method that allows a pin lock to be coded and master keyed in a fast and easy way, without the use of tools, leading to a significant reduction in cost and time.
  • Cylinder locks are characterised in that they are made up of a body formed by a cylindrical component and an attachment forming a transverse cross section in the form of a circle with a projection. Inside the attachment a series of channels are located that run perpendicularly into the cylindrical component of the body, in which a rotating tumbler that incorporates a slot is housed into which a key is inserted. The channels continue through the tumbler, passing through it until reaching the slot. Thus, the tumbler also contains channels, an extension of the channels of the attachment.
  • a spring is housed in each one of these channels of the attachment, located in contact with the blind end of the channels in the attachment and a top pin, located in the channels of the attachment, in contact with the springs, which can extend beyond the attachment area, through the channels of the tumbler.
  • a bottom pin is located in each one of the channels of the tumbler, located in contact with the slot.
  • the top pins and the bottom pins have a specific length and are in charge of configuring the coding of the key that activates the lock. In a state of rest, without the key, the springs push the pins, such that the bottom pins reach the slot and part of the top pins are in the channels of the tumbler, blocking the rotational movement of the tumbler in the cylindrical component of the lock.
  • the unlocking of the lock is done by inserting a key with a specific geometry into the tumbler, configured according to a prior coding of the lengths of the bottom pins and of the type of top pin used, and depending on whether or not there is a master key for the lock, different types of top pins are used.
  • the key comes into contact with the free ends of the bottom pins, pushes them through the respective channels thereof, along with the top pins, overcoming the force of the spring to be able to place each one of the bottom pins, and therefore the top pins as well, in a predetermined position.
  • the key Once the key is completely inserted, and if it is the right key, it causes the geometry of the key to make it so that, on the one hand, the bottom pins become aligned with the surface of the tumbler and, on the other hand, the top pins become aligned with the surface of the attachment. This way, both the top pins and the bottom pins are flush and not interfering with the movement of the tumbler with respect to the cylindrical component of the body of the lock, thereby achieving that the rotation of the tumbler is not blocked and the lock is activated.
  • each one of the bottom pins form the code to be able to activate the lock.
  • the configuration of the relief by means of holes or teeth of the key will result in a design of the bottom pins with different lengths that create different codes.
  • a second phase the coding of the lock is done.
  • the codes for the configuration of the locks are generated. This way, the top pins used, the lengths of the springs and the length and position of the bottom pins in the channels of the tumbler are configured according to the code of the lock, since each code has a different key associated with the same.
  • the locks are coded by inserting the bottom pins in the channels of the tumbler.
  • the bottom pins of different lengths are inserted in the predetermined positions, meaning with the coding of the lock already specified, in the channels of the tumbler.
  • the tumbler loaded with the bottom pins is then introduced back into the body of the lock and the retention element is extracted, being either the fastener or the cylindrical elements.
  • the tumbler is fastened to the body of the lock by means of the use of retaining washers, for example, thereby preventing the tumbler from being extracted from the body of the lock.
  • a rekeyable lock that includes a lock cylinder, a plug, a pin assembly and a stopper.
  • the lock cylinder comprises a plug hole, a plurality of upper pin holes and a lower-pin-replacing hole.
  • the plug is disposed at the plug hole.
  • the pin assembly comprises a plurality of upper pins and a plurality of lower pins.
  • the lower-pin-replacing hole selectively reveals the lower pins.
  • the stopper is utilized for plugging into the lower-pin-replacing hole.
  • the lower-pin-replacing hole reveals the lower pins so as to replace the lower pins rapidly.
  • the width of the stopper equals to that of the lower-pin-replacing hole. Otherwise, when the stopper separates from the lower-pin-replacing hole, the width of the stopper is larger than that of the lower-pin-replacing hole.
  • the present invention solves these problems, which are not solved in the present state of the art, by means of a lock that substitutes this third mounting phase with a method that is very simple, saving time, effort and the need for additional tools.
  • the present invention describes a pin lock that comprises a body formed by an attachment with a cover and a cylindrical component that incorporates a rotating tumbler, wherein the attachment comprises channels that extend through the tumbler until reaching a slot for the insertion of a key, each one of the channels accommodating a spring, a top pin and a bottom pin.
  • the body of the lock comprises side openings located in the cylindrical component and in line with the channels of the tumbler, such that when the tumbler is rotated, the channels of the tumbler become aligned with the side openings and direct access is provided to them from the outside.
  • the object of the invention consists of the coding method of the pin lock, which comprises the following steps:
  • the configuration pins that are inserted have a greater length than any of the bottom pins, and therefore when they are extracted and the bottom pins are inserted, they do not interfere with the rotation of the tumbler.
  • the bottom pins have a length that is equal to or shorter than the length of the configuration pins.
  • the greater the length of the configuration pins the greater the number of possible combinations.
  • the configuration pin has a size 2
  • the lock represented in the figures and considered for the embodiment is a lock for a flat key, although the application to a key lock with bittings is immediate.
  • the lock is made up of a body formed by a cylindrical component (1) and an attachment (2).
  • a cylindrical component (1) In the figures it can be seen how there is a lock with two bodies: this is due to the fact that locks must be accessible through both sides of the door in which they are placed, so that the door can be opened on both sides, but the description will be of a single body.
  • the attachment (2) is made of a series of channels (4), aligned according to the longitudinal axis of the circular component (1) of the body of the lock. These channels (4) extend through the attachment (2) to the cylindrical component (1) and pass through the tumbler (3) to the central area, where the slot (11) for the insertion of the key is located.
  • Each channel (4) accommodates a spring (5), a top pin (6) and a bottom pin (7) which, in a state of rest, in other words, without a key, occupy the entire length of the channel (4), from the attachment cover (9), where the spring (5) is supported, to the slot (11) located in the tumbler (3), where the bottom pin (7) is supported, the top pin (6) being between the spring (5) and the bottom pin (7).
  • the bottom pins (7), and therefore the top pins (6) will be aligned at the ends thereof which are in contact, such that the bottom pins (7) are inside the tumbler (3) and the top pins (6) are inside the attachment (2), without any one of them protruding. This allows the tumbler (3), housing the bottom pins (7), to be able to rotate, to activate the lock.
  • the pins (6, 7) will not be aligned with the surfaces of the attachment (2) and of the tumbler (3), such that part of the top pins (6) will be in the channels (4) of the tumbler (3) and part of the bottom pins (7) will be in the channels (4) of the attachment (2). This will create an interference that will prevent the tumbler from being able to rotate and the lock from being activated.
  • a lock for a key with bittings has the same operating principle. The difference is that the lock for a flat key can incorporate holes to configure a relief not only on one face, but on both of the flat faces, and even on one or the two side faces. This implies that the locks for these types of keys do not incorporate a single row of channels (4) with the corresponding springs (5) and pins (6, 7), but rather several, each one in line with the face with the relief, such that they serve as additional security means.
  • the third manufacturing phase of the lock consisting of the incorporation of the bottom pins (7), is done in a fast and simple way, without using any tools.
  • the method of the present invention is according to the following description.
  • side openings (8) are made in the cylindrical component (1) of the body of the lock, as shown in figure 2 .
  • These side openings (8) are located in line with the channels (4) of the tumbler (3) and, in spite of the fact that they may be in any position, they are preferably positioned at ninety degrees with respect to the attachment (2).
  • the configuration pins are in accordance with the holes of a configuration key, such that it is able to open the lock when it contains the configuration pins inside the same.
  • the configuration pins have two particular features. First, all of them have the same length. Second, they must all be as long as possible, and the configuration key will have holes on the surface thereof with the maximum possible depth.
  • the codes of the lock are generated. This method is carried out as is done in the state of the art, with no differences, such that the length of the bottom pins (7) and the position they must occupy in the channels (4) of the tumbler (3) are defined.
  • the flat key that activates the lock contains relief on a single face, such that it only incorporates a row of channels (4) with the corresponding springs (5) and pins (6, 7) thereof.
  • the extrapolation of keys with relief on both flat faces and even on the side faces does not lead to greater complication and can be deduced in light of the present specification.
  • the configuration key is initially inserted, which is in line with the configuration pins inserted, and therefore, is able to activate the lock.
  • the configuration key is then turned and, therefore, the tumbler (3) as well, until the channels (4) are aligned and, therefore, the configuration pins as well, with the side openings (8).
  • the configuration pins are extracted and the bottom pins (7), which define the lock, are inserted, each one with its own length, considering the predetermined position of each one of them to create the correct coding of the lock in accordance with a key.
  • the side openings (8) are closed with a cover (10).
  • any one of the bottom pins (7) is always going to be less than or equal to the length of the configuration pins which, as indicated, have the maximum length possible. This way, the rotation of the tumbler (3) will never lead to problems due to the fact that the bottom pins (7) with unspecified lengths are inserted that may cause interference in the rotation, since the configuration key has holes that correspond to pins with a maximum length, and as such a pin with a smaller length, when inserted in the hole of the key, will not impede the rotation of the tumbler (3).
  • the tumbler (3) would not rotate, given that the bottom pins (7), which in that moment are inserted in the channels (4), are no longer in correspondence with the holes of the configuration key, but rather with the specific key of that set of bottom pins (7) and, therefore, due to the different lengths of the bottom pins (7), they would create interference with the tumbler (3), which would prevent it from rotating.
  • the method is similar, and only requires using different configuration keys that will incorporate the relief of the line of pins (6, 7) already configured instead of a flat relief as a function of the different configuration pins.
