The combination lock can be used to restrict access by individual devices (e.g., a combination padlock) that can be tied to a door, bracket, cable, or other item. Alternatively, the combination lock is integrated into a sealed piece such as a safe or storage cabinet. The combination lock consists of a single dial and a multi-dial design. Compared to a key lock, although the use of a combination lock eliminates the risk of loss, theft, or the copying of the key, it is possible to forget the authorization combination so that the authorized user cannot access the blocked item. Moreover, in the event that an administrator or other such individual 20 needs access to the blocked items (or several), it may be difficult or impossible to maintain a record of the authorized combination, particularly if the user can replace the combined combination. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 5 200920916 According to one aspect of the invention, a multi-dial lock may be provided with a mechanism or an authorized combination password configured to identify an unlocked orientation corresponding to the dials. The identification cryptographic mechanism can move between a hidden password state and an identification password state (eg, by using a key-operated mechanism and a correct keying) to prevent unauthorized users from learning the combination. password. When the identification cryptographic mechanism is in the identification cryptographic state, each dial is turned to its unlocked orientation to provide a perceptible indication that the unlocked orientation has arrived. Therefore, in an exemplary embodiment, a password-recognized password ίο lock includes a lock body, a shackle having a long leg and a short leg, and a plurality of at least partially disposed in the lock body. Dial. The lock includes a member for securing the short leg of the shackle to the lock body, and for causing the short leg of the shackle to be rotated when each of the plurality of dials is turned to an unlocking position A member that is loosened by the lock body. The lock further includes a member for selectively providing a sensible indication when any one of the plurality of dials 15 is turned to an unlocked orientation. [Embodiment] The present application relates to a combination of locks that can be used for various types of locks, for example, a password padlock, a safe lock, and an integrated type for a cabinet, a letter box, a storage, or other such structures and seals. lock. Although the present application describes a particular embodiment with a multi-dial password padlock, the inventive aspects described herein are applicable to any lock having any number of combination dials. The present embodiments are merely illustrative of specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way. In fact, the present invention as described in the scope of the claims is broader than the specific embodiments and is not limited thereto, and the terms used have a substantially ordinary meaning. - According to one aspect of the present application, a multi-dial lock using a mechanical latching mechanism (e.g., 5 that can be locked by engaging one or more latching members (e.g., 'ball bearings)) can be provided with a password The identification configuration allows the authorized user or officer to set the combined password for the lock. When operating or moving the password identification configuration to the identification password state, rotating the dials to the unlocking position provides an audible indication that the position has been reached. The password recognition configuration can be configured to be identifiable for different unlocking orientations, for example, including an audible indication = (= 丨 _ such as a click or a click), a visual indicator (eg, light) ), or touch the t-display (for example, there is resistance to rotation or resistance in one or two directions of rotation 15 20 Please refer to the attached drawings, Figures i to 7 illustrate the key-operated password configuration) An exemplary embodiment of a multi-dial password padlock 1 . As shown in the figures, the exemplary padlock 100 includes a lock configured to retain the shackle 120, U 〇, and through an aperture U5 in the lock body 110 A portion of the wheel 145 is partially exposed to allow the user to rotate the wheels 145. The exemplary lock body 110 shown in Fig. 2 = the open view includes the housing 111, the top plate 112, the outer portion 13, and the wedge plate. 114' they define a lock body (4) cavity for receiving, and internal members of the inner lock 100. The exemplary lock 100 includes a latching mechanism (described in more detail below), when the sub-U5 is turned to the unlocking position, The lock ring will be released. The official wheel 145 contains the number 7 20 that can take into account the rotational orientation of each wheel. 0920916 code mark, however any type of sign (eg, containing letters, graphics, and colors) may still be used. Although many different latching mechanisms may be used, in the illustrated embodiment, a blocker or blocker is used 130 causes the shackle 12 to be locked in the lock body 110, and the f damper, 13 〇 is in the extension or the lock 5 will force the corresponding member of the occlusion member 135 and the shackle 12 刻 125 (such as ^ As shown in the figure) spray-on, II can prevent the axial movement of the fishing ring 12〇. In the exemplary lock 100 lock body 11〇, a dial assembly 14〇 is arranged, which comprises a rotation about the cylinder 142. The sequence wheel 145 is coupled to the hub 143. The wheels 145 are each associated with a corresponding valley 143 on the inner diameter (e.g., using a shackle tooth, as shown in the Figure 12 embodiment), whereby each wheel 145 The pair of wheels 143 are sprayed together to rotate into a sequence of dials. The lock (10) can be further included - a spring stop plate 147 (please refer to Figs. 2 and 6) for use by the user without hand rotation The wheel keeps the wheel 145 in one of several settings (four) (for example, on a conventional lock dial) The number is "〇,, 20 rounds 143 each include an unlocking feature disposed on the outer edge of the number of wheels 143, =, recess 144 (shown in Figure 4). Other types of unlocking features can be used, including, for example, _, Slope or protrusion. When the recess 144 is aligned with the dial contact portion 134 of the loader (for example, may include finger extensions), the exemplary interceptor 130 becomes axially d-state shiftable. In the retracted or unlocked state, the dial contact portion is "engaged therein". When in the unlocked state, the end portion 137 of the resistance = is axially aligned with the latching member 135, so that the latching member 135 can be disengaged from the fishing ring.

A number of different mechanisms or configurations can be used to allow the authorized user or administrator to move the dial engagement mechanism from the password-hidden location to the password-recognition location to identify the combined password, which includes, for example, key operation Type mechanism, master code 5 combination (where the wheels are configured to move the dial engagement mechanism to a password recognition position when in a predetermined "master", or an electronically operated mechanism (eg, an electronic key 4 card) Or infrared or RF transmitters and receivers). In the illustrated embodiment, a pin tumbler cyl inder 160 of the prior art is extended from one side of the lock body 11 and is operable (with the correct key) to The spring plate 15〇# to the dial is in a position to fit. Although a number of different operational couplings may be provided between the key operating cylinder 160 and the spring plate 15A, in the illustrated embodiment, the inner end of the barrel 160 is engaged with the disc cam 170, which rotates so that the disc cam 17Q is rotated so that The drive arm 180 coupled to the spring plate 15 150 is pivoted (via the latch 丨 73) with the latch 185 of the movable spring plate 150. Since the driving arm 80 and the magazine pin 150 are moved from the dial disengagement position to the dial engagement position, only a short distance is required, and the conventional keying is performed with the correct key. About the QQ 虞, the driving arm 180 can be provided. Extending the recess or slot 183 (see Figure 6) such that a 90 degree rotation of the cam no results in a decrease in the rotation of the drive arm 180 (e.g., about 15 degrees). The lock can be configured to use the conventional key cylinder of the door wheel key to thereby authorize the user to use his/her door key to identify the combination code of the combination lock. In another embodiment of the present invention, the identification lock mechanism of the combination lock includes a sequence of independent dial engagement members, and when the identification code machine 11 200920916 is in the identification password state, they can be presented with the corresponding dial. Spring loaded engagement. When the unlocking features (eg, recesses) of the dial engaging members are aligned, the spring engagement of the dial engaging member M = dial produces a sensible indication (eg,; 8 through 13) The multi-dial code padlock is shown in the second embodiment, and the money has an identification crypto mechanism for using the platoon-engagement member (eg, ', latch), the dial engaging members 234 are, (4) and are identified The cryptographic mechanism is in the state of recognizing the password and any corresponding recesses 244 ^ 10 15 20 8 in the unlocking orientation. The exemplary damp lock includes a lock body 210 configured to be a cocoa retaining hook. And a series of dials 241 that are partially exposed by the opening 215 in the lock body 21 to allow the user to rotate the 241. The exemplary lock body 21 includes housing portions 211a and 211b, a top plate 212, and a housing The culprits, and the wedge plates 214', define a cavity in the lock body for receiving the internal components of the lock 2. The exemplary lock includes a latching mechanism associated with the latching mechanism of the combination locks 100 of Figures 1 through 7. As described above, when each dial 241 is turned to the unlocking position It releases the shackle 220 in the locked state. The hubs 243 each include an unlocking feature disposed on the outer edge of the hub 243, such as a recess 244 (shown in Figures 1 and 13). Other *types can be used. The unlocking feature 'includes, for example, a groove, ramp or protrusion. The blocking member 230 can include a plurality of dial engaging members 234 (or H57 that can be a stopper assembly). The lock can be engaged with the recess 244 to release the lock. When the recess 244 is in contact with the dial engaging member 234, the non-blocking member 23 becomes axially extendable or lockable 12 200920916 Returning or unlocking, at this time, the dial engaging member 234 is engaged with the recessed portion. When in the unlocked state, the narrow bruise 237 of the blocking member 230 is axially aligned with the latching member 235, so that the latching member 235 can be detached from the fishing The ring groove 225, thus allowing the fishing ring 220 to be pulled out of the lock body 210 in the axial direction f to disengage the short leg 222 of the shackle 22 脱离 from the lock body 21 〇. 2, the identification code for independently engaging the respective dials can be provided. The mechanism, when the dials are turned to the unlocking position Providing sensible indications. In order to mention the independent engagement of the dials, the cryptographic mechanism can be provided with a sequence of 10 20 歹J, and the heart, the movements can move independently of each other and the rebound of the total component of the stopper A sheet or other such component. A specific embodiment is to configure the total portion of the barrier (e.g., the dial engaging member) to be in the sense of being dense to 5 = independently movable and engaging with each dial The audible indication can be generated when the respective dials are turned to the unlocking orientation. In the specific embodiment of Fig. 13, the identification of the secret mechanism or the code identification member 250 has the extension channel 251 (please Referring to Figure 11), their size is made into a dial engagement member 234 that can be passed through them. - The sequence H is aligned with the 11-channel 251 to retain the spring member 254 associated with each of the dials. The dial engaging member 23 has another suitable structure), which has an upper surface with the opening of the elastic member, and an apricot 6 adjacent to the bottom of the cavity 253: the piece 2 250 moves to the identification password state (here When the embodiment is "moving", each of the dial engaging members 234 is compressed with the corresponding wheel fe 243, 'engaged' and the spring member 254 to provide a password. 13 200920916. The member 250 is engaged with the dials When one of the magazines 234 of the member 234 is subsequently turned to the unlocked orientation, the second dial member 234 is forced into engagement with the recess 244 to provide an indication of the unlocked/arrived. Although different types of joints can be used to mention: 5 sensible indications (eg, snap-on stoppers, electric-rolled connections of the hub and dialing mechanism), however, in a particular embodiment, The recess (or other unlocking feature of the bean) 244 and the dial engaging member 234 are configured to provide/stop engagement or prevent the dial from moving in one or both directions of rotation. In the illustrated embodiment, after the dial engaging member 234 is engaged with the recess 244, the rotation of the dial 10 241 is blocked. Therefore, in order to recognize the correct combination password, after the password recognition member 250 moves to the identification password state, the dial 241 can be rotated until the rotation is blocked. The dial engagement member (e.g., the axially movable latch) can be deployed in a number of different orientations and positions within the lock. However, in the illustrated embodiment, the dial engagement member 234 is placed in the block. The member 23 is disposed between the dial assembly 240 such that when the dial engaging members 234 are both aligned with the recess 244, the blocking member 230, the password identifying member 250, and the dial engaging member 234 lean can be moved axially to the unlocked position. Regardless of whether the password recognition component 250 is in the state of identifying the password or hiding the password.纟Other implementations Sanding (not shown) may provide dialing engagement of the dial engaging member in other orientations for engagement with the dial and for separation from the latching mechanism. In the specific embodiment of Figures 8 through 13, a conventionally recorded reel-operated reed cartridge 260 of the prior art is extended from one side of the lock body 210 and is operable (with a positive key) to enable The password recognition component 250 moves to the dial engagement position 14 200920916. The lock 200 can be configured to use a conventional key cartridge that is identical to the door key cylinder, thereby authorizing the user to use his/her door key to identify the combination code for the combination lock. Although many different operational couplings may be provided between the key operating cylinder 260 and the code recognition member 250, in the illustrated embodiment, the inner end of the key cylinder 260 is engaged with the disk cam driver 270, which is a disk cam driver The 270 is rotatable for pivoting (via the latch 273 of the slot 283) to a camming lever 280 that is combined with the blocking member 230 and partially disposed between the blocking member 230 and the password recognition member 250. The pivoting of the cam 15 20 action bar 280 forces the code recognition member 250 to axially move away from the blocking member 230 into the identification password state, as shown in Figure Ua. The fourth part 237 can be installed in the lower half of the blocking member 230. The third password and the nth are deleted between the upper half of the member to enable the password recognition member when the key cylinder is turned back to the normal hidden password state. Qiao 〇 back to the on or hidden password state. Further, the ribs of the code recognition member 2 can be fixed to guide the guide pins 255 (refer to the drawings) of the corresponding openings 239 of the blocking member 230 to keep the code recognition members 25 〇 and 230 in alignment. In addition, or alternatively, the combination of the combination lock (for example, the text, 200) can be allowed to be authorized by the user after the release of the 5 lock, and the capital code is as shown in FIGS. 7 and 13 The password changing member 19〇/29σ〇=disposed in the lock body 11〇, 2Π) and accessible through the lock body 11〇, 21〇=opening 119 (please refer to FIG. 1).
