Definitions

  • US 4 908 605 deals with a key which is used together with a special, immobilized evaluation unit.
  • the key has magnetic switches that are operated when the lock is turned and indicate a right or left turn. A detection of whether the lock is now unlocked or locked does not take place in the key, but in an additional device in which the key is inserted. In practice, the magnetic switches used are unreliable because they can be switched by vibrations. Only one lock can be detected.
  • the invention essentially proposes two different ones
  • the invention proposes yet another way with which the closed state of a lock is detected and sent to one
  • FIGS 1-3 show schematically a first embodiment of the present invention with an associated circuit.
  • a key 1 is provided, which can be inserted into a lock 2.
  • the key user himself can be informed directly and immediately via a suitable display (optical, acoustic or otherwise).
  • a suitable display optical, acoustic or otherwise.
  • the entire system can also be used for locks that allow several turns to lock, it can be used on the inside and outside of the door and is easy to retrofit.
