Definitions

  • This invention relates to door locks.
  • Door locks have remained almost unchanged in principle for over 100 years, but the advent of the computer age has brought a wide range of electronic locks having advantageous features such as electronic keypad entry, card readers, biometric recognition and remote unlocking.
  • a disadvantage of such digital locks is that they are expensive and difficult to install, often requiring substantial adaptation of the door and/or surrounding doorframe.
  • Another disadvantage of such digital locks is that they often have poor security and may not be of the required standard for insurers.
  • AU2006100498 and EP0129042 each disclose an electronic device for fitting to the outside of the door that comprise an electronic keypad, a card reader or a biometric reader that generate an output signal which allows the door to be opened without a key.
  • the device comprises a body can be fitted over an existing door lock once a key has been inserted.
  • a handle is provided on the body which can be turned to rotate the key and so unlock the door. The device prevents the handle from being turned unless an appropriate unlock signal has been received from the electronic keypad, a card reader or a biometric reader.
  • a lock system comprising a first portion and a second remote portion for respectively mounting on opposite sides of a door or other structure having a lock, in use, the first and second portions of the system are respectively mounted on the inside and outside of the door, the first portion comprising means for engaging and rotating a key or other element of the lock, the second portion comprising recognition means for generating a wireless output signal upon recognition of a predetermined action by a user to open the door, the first portion being arranged to cause rotation of the key upon receipt of the wireless output signal, in which the recognition means comprises a biometric recognition sensor, a keypad, a tag reader and/or a card reader.
  • the first and second portions of the system are respectively mounted on the inside and outside of the door. Since the first portion engages the key, there is no need to leave the key in the outside of the door and thus the above-mentioned security risk is avoided.
  • the means for rotating the key or other element may comprise a motor.
  • the means for rotating the key may comprise a rotatable adjustable insert having a formation adapted to receive the key or other element.
  • the position of the formation and/or the dimensions thereof can be adjusted to suit the particular type of lock fitted to the door.
  • the insert may be removable and repositionable at a selected one of a plurality of different rotational positions.
  • the insert may comprise a plurality of different formations having different dimensions.
  • the insert may be mounted in a knob or other handle.
  • the system may comprise a spacer for fitting between the first portion and the door.
  • the system may comprise a kit comprising a plurality of spacers having different profiles to suit different types of lock escutcheons.
  • the system may be arranged to wirelessly connect to a remote device over the Internet, the remote device enabling the door to be unlocked remotely.
  • the system may comprise a movable runner, which can adjust the centre position through its own activities during rotation. In this way, the centre of the smart lock and the door lock overlap.
  • an assembly comprising the aforementioned lock system fitted to a door, wherein the first portion is fitted over a key or other element used to operate the lock of the door and wherein the second portion is mounted on or adjacent the opposite side of the door from the first portion.
  • a method of unlocking a door using the aforementioned lock system comprising fitting the first portion of the system over a key or other element on one side of the door and fitting the second portion on or adjacent the opposite side of the door, detecting a predetermined action by a user at the second portion, wirelessly transmitting an output signal from the second portion to the first portion upon detection of said predetermined action and causing the first portion to rotate the key or other element upon receipt of said signal.
  • Figure 1 is an isometric rear view of a lock system in accordance the present invention
  • Figure 2 is an isometric front view of the lock system of Figure 1 ;
  • Figure 3 is an exploded view of a portion of the lock system of Figure 1;
  • Figures 4 and 5 are respective isometric views of a rear and front portion of a door when fitted with the lock system of Figure 1.
  • the first portion 10 comprises a body having a front casing 19 and a rear casing 20.
  • the front casing 19 of the body comprises a large aperture 21 through which a knurled knob 22 projects.
  • the interior of the knob 22 is hollow and is adapted to engage the proximal end of a cylindrical insert member 23 at a selected one of a plurality of angular orientations, the exterior of the insert member 23 being provided with a plurality of axially extending grooves 23C which are circumferentially-spaced and which are adapted to engage complementary formations arranged around the hollow interior of the knob 22.
  • the insert member 23 comprises first and second internal passageways 23A, 23B which extend axially of the member between its opposite ends along the length thereof.
  • the internal passageways 23A, 23B have a width arranged diametrically of the insert member 23 at respective orthogonal orientations.
  • the second passageway 23 has a height which is substantially greater than that of the first passageway 23.
  • the distal end of the cylindrical insert member 23 is mounted in a cylindrical collar surrounding an aperture 24 formed in the rear casing 20 of the body.
  • the body of the first portion 10 of the lock system is hollow and comprises a printed circuit board 25 on which a motor 27 is mounted.
  • the printed circuit board 25 is connected to a battery 26.
  • the distal end of the exterior surface of the knob 22 is provided with a ring of teeth 29 which is connected to the Rotary output shaft of the motor 27 via gearing 28.
  • the second portion 11 of the lock system comprises a body having a fingerprint recognition sensor 30 disposed on its front face.
  • the interior of the body is hollow and comprises a printed circuit board and battery (not shown).
