Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rekeyable cylinder for a lock.
  • a first method provides for the key of the lock to be cut in half along the longitudinal direction thereof so as to maintain only the part of the keying that acts on the active pistons in order to create a sufficient space for the insertion of a spring pressing accessory specifically shaped and configured to maintain the counter-pins and springs in a position of noninterference with the plug.
  • a second method provides for the plug to be completely extracted after the retaining ring has been removed and the key (whole, not machined) inserted into the slot.
  • the counter-pins come out of their seats due to the compression to which the respective springs are subjected. Therefore, these components must be reloaded into the body of the lock using a special tool and a specific procedure. Subsequently, after the springs and counter-pins have been repositioned inside their respective seats (and secured in place with a special spring pressing device which prevents them from coming out), it is possible to proceed to replace the active pins inside the plug and, finally, reset the lock itself, with the modified keying as requested by the customer.
  • one object of the present invention is to provide a cylinder for a lock configured to ensure the rekeying of the lock in a short time, with few steps and with the use of a limited number of tools.
  • one object of the present invention is also to provide a cylinder for a lock that can be immediately rendered “operative” and thus considered (for example, for selling purposes) as a cylinder with random keying (i.e. of the "KD" type). Therefore, more specifically, the invention has the object of providing a cylinder for a lock that enables the standardisation of hardware stock.
  • the invention relates to a rekeyable cylinder for a lock.
  • the plug has a slot for inserting a key.
  • the cylinder further comprises a plurality of active pins housed in respective seats obtained on the plug and a plurality of counter-pins housed in respective seats obtained in the main body according to a direction that is transverse, preferably perpendicular, to the rotation axis in order to define a keying of the lock when the aforesaid plug is in an operative configuration, in which each active pin is aligned with a respective counter-pin.
  • the seats obtained in the main body (for the counter-pins) are arranged in sequence along a direction parallel to the rotation axis.
  • the seats obtained on the plug (for the active pins) are arranged in sequence along a direction parallel to the rotation axis, when the plug is inserted in the housing.
  • the seats for the active pins are in communication with the slot.
  • the cylinder in accordance with the invention can be rekeyed in a shorter time, as the counter-pins are maintained inside their loro seats with the plug inserted and can be thus maintained using a spring pressing device at the time of extracting the plug for a possible rekeying.
  • a spring pressing device at the time of extracting the plug for a possible rekeying.
  • the plate or covering or tape could be configured in such a way as to secure the entire cylinder 1 and simultaneously block both plugs present 3.
  • the insert 12 and the tab 13 extend projecting and opposite relative to a graspable portion 14 to which they are connected.
  • the insert 12, the tab 13 and the graspable portion 14 are made in a single body.
  • the blocking device 10 can comprise a pair of tabs 13.
  • each tab 13 is configured to prevent the rotation of the plug in a respective direction of rotation about the rotation axis X.
  • the blocking device 10 is advantageously configured to prevent any movement of the plug 3 with the aim of maintaining it in the rotated position in which the cylinder 1 is easily rekeyable.
  • the insert 12 is disposed off-centre and/or offset relative to the pair of tabs 13.
  • the plug 3 in the rotated position must not dispose the seats 7, 9 of the active pins 6 and of the counter-pins 8 aligned with each other, nor the seats 9 of the counter-pins 8 with the lateral entry of the slot 5 (i.e. the missing portion of the lateral wall of the plug which defines a lateral end of the slot 5).
  • the step of inserting a blocking device 10 can be carried out alternatively before or after the step of housing a plurality of counter-pins 8.
  • the method further comprises the steps of:
  • positioning the blocking device 10 before inserting the counter-pins 8 in their respective seats 9 ensures that the plug 3 is maintained in the rotated position, thereby facilitating the operations of assembling the cylinder during manufacturing.
  • the present invention also relates to processes for preparing for use a rekeyable cylinder for a lock.
  • the invention relates to two possible processes of preparing for use, according to the fact of whether the security keying of the cylinder 1 must be modified or maintained.
  • the process of preparing for use has the following steps:
  • the keying of the cylinder already prepared in the manufacturing stage is acceptable and does not need to be modified.
  • Removing the blocking device 10 allows the plug 3 to be moved in at least one direction of rotation so that a user can bring the plug 3 back into the operative configuration.
  • the cylinder 1 is easily prepared for use, so as to be fitted and used in a lock.
