Definitions

  • magnets having different polarity are incorporated inside the lock, and unlocking is easily effected by positioning the magnet of the key at the place corresponding to that of the magnet of the lock.
  • the lock of this type is not practical due to the defeet that the positions and polarity of the magnets incorporated inside the lock are readily searched from the outside, which leads to picking and unloading.
  • An object of the present invention made in view of the defect set forth hereinabove is to provide a lock of a simple structure comprising rotatable tumblers having magnets incorporated therein and serving to prevent the polarity of the magnets from being searched from the outside, and permitting a large number of different fellow keys to be applied to the identical lock.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 are illustrations of an operative principle of magnet, exemplified in two modes
  • FIGS. 3 through show an embodiment of a lock of the cylinder type, in which FIG. 3 is a perspective view of respective components, and FIGS. 4 and 5 are longitudinal sectional views of a main body of the lock in the locked situation and in the unlocked situation, respectively;
  • FIGS. 6 through 11 are illustrations of a padlock, in which FIG. 6 is a longitudinal sectional view of the padlock, and FIGS. 7 through 9 are sectional views taken along lines VII VII, VIIIVIII, and IXIX of FIG. 6 in the unlocked situation, respectively; and
  • FIGS. 10 and 11 are same sectional views as in FIGS. 7 and 8, but shown in the locked situation.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 Two examples are shown, of different arrangements of the magnets.
  • A, and A are permanent magnets of disc shape, each bearing the north pole and the south pole at each semicircular portion and rotatably carried by shafts B, and B extending therethrough and supported by bearings C and C.
  • Said two magnets, in the drawing, are arranged vertically in circumferentially confronting relation with the ends of each magnet facing the respective bearings C and C and at a distance permitting the magnetomative forces to be exerted upon each other.
  • two permanent magnets of a disc shape each bearing the north pole and the south pole on a semicircular portion and carried by the shafts B, or B, respectively, are arranged horizontally coaxially with one another facing each other and at a distance permitting magnetic force act between the confronting magnets.
  • Rotary shafts B, and B extending through the axis of each magnet are coupled at D so as to permit each magnet to rotate independently.
  • magnetic force interacts between the opposed poles, the north and south poles, of the confronting magnets, so that the north and south poles of the left-hand side magnet A, attract the opposed poles of other magnet A thereby maintaining the situation of FIG. 2.
  • the other magnet in either drawing rotates in the direction of the dotted arrow mark.
  • the number of rotations of the pair of magnets is equal; for example, if one of magnets rotates one revolution, the other magnet rotates one revolution.
  • the arrangement of magnets in the first example is adapted for a lock of the cylinder type shown in FIGS. 3 through 5, and the arrangement of magnets in the second example is adapted for the padlock shown in FIGS. 6 through 11.
  • numeral 1 is a knob projecting inside or outside a door, which includes therein a cylinder 3 fixedly supported to the knob and a rotatable member 6 turned with a key inserted thereinto to operate a locking system 5.
  • the cylinder 3 is formed of a nonmagnetic material with a longitudinally elongated appearance, and has rotary tumblers 7,, 7 7 and 7., connected at 8 thereto and independently rotatably and at a certain space from each other at the inside and in the longitudinal direction.
  • Said rotary tumblers each have permanent magnets 9,, 9 9 and 9., of cylindrical or columnar shape, each embedded therein coaxially and with a plane end surface.
  • Each of the magnets 9,, 9,, 9,, and 9, incorporated in the rotary tumblers bears, in the position shown in FIG. 4, the north pole at the left-hand semicircular portion and the south pole at the right-hand semicircular portion, so that magnetic force interacts between adjacent magnets to maintain the polar disposition and the arrangement of tumblers, as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the rotary tumblers have cutout portions or flat portions 7,, 7 7 and 7, formed circumferentially and in the longitudinal direction thereof. It is noted that each cutout portion is differently positioned in relation to the line 1 (FIG. 3) connecting the north pole and the south pole of magnet.
  • the cutout portion or flat portion 7 is formed at an angle of 0 in relation to the line 1; the cutout portion 7 is formed at an angle of the cutout portion 7;, is formed at an angle of 180; and the cutout portion 7., is formed at an angle of in relation to the line I.
  • the cutout portion may be formed at a desired angle in relation to the line I other than those exemplified herein.
  • the rotatable member 6 is rotatably positioned in cylinder 3 against axial motion, and is formed of a nonmagnetic material with a columnar shape.
  • the rotatable member 6 has a keyhole 6a provided in a longitudinal direction at the inside thereof, and recesses or depressions 6,, 6 6;, and 6, each having an arch portion conforming to the circumference of a tumbler for receiving one-fourth of the circumference thereof, and provided at a distance similar to that between adjacent tumblers,
  • each tumbler fits into a corresponding recess or depression of the rotatable member 6 in the locked situation, as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the rotatable member 6 is checked from rotation in any direction.
  • the rotatable member 6 is provided at one end with a projection 6b connected with the desired locking system 5.
  • the key is formed of a nonmagnetic material with a square columnar configuration and has permanent magnets 4,, 4 4 and 4., embedded therein in a longitudinal direction and at a distance similar to that between adjacent rotary tumblers, in other words, at a position corresponding to each of recesses of the rotatable member 6 when the key is inserted.
  • Each of the permanent magnets bears the north pole and the south pole at each semicircular portion.
  • the polar disposition of each of magnets 4,, 4 4 and 4, depends upon that of the corresponding magnet 9,, 9 9 or 9., of the tumblers.
  • the action of magnets between the key 4 and the rotary tumblers 7,, 7,, 7;, and 7. will be described below.
  • the permanent magnet 4, of the key 4 Since the rotary tumbler 7, is provided with the cutout portion 7, at the side of the north pole of the columnar shape of magnet 9,, the permanent magnet 4, of the key 4 must locate the south pole upwardly, in order to confront said cutout portion 7, with the recess 6, of the rotatable member 6, at the time of unlocking. In such magnetic disposition, the permanent magnet 4, of the key 4 attracts the north pole of the permanent magnet g, of the rotary tumbler 7,, and repels the south pole thereof to turn the rotary tumbler 7, anticlockwisely by 90, thereby disengaging the circumference thereof from the recess or depression 6, of the rotatable member 6, and confronting the cutout portion 7, therewith. In the similar manner, poles of other magnets 4,, 4,, 4, of the key 4 are disposed to take the polar disposition of the magnets of the respective rotary tumblers 7 7 and 7, into account.
  • Locking or unlocking is effected as follows.
  • rotatable tumblers 7,, 7 7;,and 7, each undergo the magnetic force of the adjacent permanent magnets to rotate to fit the circumferential portions thereof into respective recesses 6,, 6 6,, and 6 of the rotatable member 6, thereby closing the lock.
  • the rotary tumblers are not alwaysrestored to their initial positions as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the north pole of the rotary tumbler 7, at the leftmost side is attracted by the south pole of the adjacent rotary tumbler 7 to turn the rotary tumbler 7, anticlockwisely by 90.
  • the south pole of this 9 is attracted by the north pole of the rotary tumbler 7 to turn the rotary tumbler 7 clockwisely by 90.
  • FIGS. 6 through 11 Another embodiment of lock according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 through 11 wherein a padlock is shown.
  • Numeral 10 is the main body of a padlock formed of a nonmagnetic material and having a hollow portion 10a, at one side of which rotary tumblers 11,, 11 ll, of cylindrical or columnar shape are independently rotatably in the sidewall of the main body in a vertical arrangement with a desired space between them.
  • Said rotary tumblers 11,, 11 and 11, have permanent magnets 13,, 13 and 13;, incorporated therein and are provided with cavities 11,, 11 and 11,, opening to the circumference thereof.
  • the permanent magnets 13,, 13 and 13 are ofa cylindrical or columnar shape and bear the south pole and the north pole, as in the former example.
  • Numeral 14 is a rod moving slidably in a vertical direction, when respective cavities 11,, 11 and 11 of the rotary tumblers are directed in the same direction, for example downwardly in FIG. 6, and having extensions 14,, 14 and 14;, formed integral therewith for engaging with or disengaging from these cavities.
  • Said rod 14 is provided in its lower portion with a slot 15 having a length similar to the sliding distance of the rod 14 and is connected at its upper end with one end ofa T-shaped connecting lever 19.
  • Numeral 16 is a projection extending from the main body and fitted into the slot 15.
  • Said T- shaped connecting lever 19 is pivoted at 20 swingeably to the main body 10 of the lock and engaged at one end with a fitting plate 17 through a slot provided therein.
