Definitions
- the invention relates to a lock-key system, comprising a lock cylinder housing with a cylinder core arranged rotatably in it, which has a key channel into which a key provided with profiles designed as grooves and ribs on the side of the key shank can be inserted, as well as core pins that scan the profile and which permit or prevent rotation of the cylinder core, the core pins checking the opening width of at least one of the grooves.
- Such a system is from US6134929A or the U.S. 2012/0073340 A1 and the WO 2009/012541 A1 known.
- the key shank of such flat keys is usually provided with notches on the key face side and has profiles on both sides.
- the notches and the profiling together form a coding that is specific to each key.
- the object of the invention is therefore to improve copy protection.
- a lock/key system comprising a lock cylinder housing with a cylinder core arranged rotatably in it, which has a key channel into which a key provided with profiles designed as grooves and ribs on the side of the key shaft can be inserted, and with core pins which scan the profiling and allow or prevent rotation of the cylinder core, with the core pins checking the opening width of at least one of the grooves.
- the opening width of the groove tapers in a wedge shape from the tip of the key towards the bow of the key.
- a core pin which can be moved radially, is arranged in the area near the bow of the key. After initially entering the groove, the movable pin is pressed radially outwards due to its increasing narrowing and the radial position of the movable core pin is queried at one point with a movable housing pin and related in the usual way to the separating plane of the cylinder core/lock cylinder housing.
- the lateral profiling of the key shank consists of grooves and ribs running parallel to the back of the key, the depth or height of which can be sensed in a suitable manner, for example by housing pins interacting with core pins. If a correct key is inserted into the key channel, this leads to an alignment of the core and housing pins at the cylinder core/lock cylinder housing parting line, while with an incorrect key this parting line is exceeded by one of the pins so that it goes into the respective bore of the other pin protrudes and thus prevents the rotation of the cylinder core.
- this pin prevents further insertion of the key.
- the key can be inserted further into the key channel, the movable pin being pressed radially outwards after the initial immersion in the groove due to its increasing narrowing, ie it practically slides along the longitudinal edges.
- the radial position of the movable core pin is queried with a movable housing pin and related to the dividing plane cylinder core/lock cylinder housing in the usual way.
- the key channel in the cylinder core has only one narrow profile rib facing the groove on the key shank, which corresponds to the narrowest point of the groove on the key shank.
- the key is denoted by 1 and the lock cylinder has the reference number 2 .
- the lateral profiling of the key shank has at least one groove 4 which tapers in the direction of the key bow, i.e. the longitudinal edges 7 converge.
- a fixed core pin 5 arranged in the cylinder core is provided in the area of the tip of an inserted key, while a movable core pin 6 is located near the bow of the key.
- the cylinder core is denoted by 3, while the reference numeral 2 in the sectional view in the figures denotes the lock cylinder housing.
- the movable core pin 6 has a truncated conical shape at its end facing the key or key channel, ie it has sloping surfaces.
- the movable core pin rests on the longitudinal edge 7 of the groove 4 and, as usual, aligns with the housing pin 8 on the parting plane 10, so that a locking process could be carried out with this key.
- the core pin is pushed back, for example, by the housing pin and this can enter the hole in the core pin via the parting line.

Claims (2)
- Système de serrure-clé, comprenant un boîtier de cylindre de serrure (2) muni d'un noyau de cylindre (3) agencé de manière rotative en son sein, qui présente un canal de clé dans lequel peut être insérée une clé (1) munie de profils conçus sous la forme de rainures et de nervures sur le côté de la tige de clé, ainsi que de broches de noyau (6) qui balayent le profil et autorisent ou empêchent une rotation du noyau de cylindre, dans lequel la largeur d'ouverture d'au moins une des rainures (4) est vérifiée par les broches centrales,dans lequel la largeur d'ouverture de la rainure (4) se rétrécit en forme de coin à partir de la pointe de clé dans la direction de l'anneau de clé, etdans l'étendue proche de l'anneau de clé est agencée une broche de noyau (6), qui est mobile radialement.dans lequel la broche de noyau mobile (6) est pressée radialement vers l'extérieur après l'immersion initiale dans la rainure (4) en raison de son rétrécissement croissant et caractérisé en ce qu'en un point, la position radiale de la broche de noyau mobile (6) est interrogée avec une broche de boîtier mobile (8) et mise en relation de la manière habituelle par rapport au plan de séparation (10) noyau de cylindre/boîtier de cylindre de serrure.
- Système de serrure-clé selon la revendication 1,
caractérisé en ce queau moins l'une des rainures (4) se rétrécit dans la largeur d'ouverture en forme de coin à partir de la pointe de clé en direction de l'anneau de clé,la rainure (4) peut être balayée par des broches de noyau (6), dont l'une est agencée de manière fixe à proximité de la pointe de clé d'une clé (1) insérée dans le canal de clé, qui balaye la largeur d'ouverture de la rainure (4) en ce point,en ce qu'une seconde broche de noyau (6) est prévue qui, lorsque la clé est insérée dans le canal de clé, est mobile radialement et balaye le parcours de la rainure en direction de l'anneau de clé,dans lequel la broche de noyau mobile est réalisée en forme de cône émoussé dans son étendue tournée vers le canal de clé, de sorte que lors de l'insertion de la clé dans le canal de clé, cette broche de noyau se déplace radialement avec ses surfaces inclinées glissant le long des bords longitudinaux (7) de la rainure au fur et à mesure que la rainure se rétrécit et - avec une clé appropriée - avec une broche de boîtier associée ajustée au niveau du plan de séparation (10) noyau de cylindre/boîtier de cylindre de serrure.
