Definitions

  • the invention also relates to a method for producing a rekeyable cylinder.
  • the invention also refers to a process for preparing for use a rekeyable cylinder.
  • the rekeyable cylinder, the method, and the process fit into the sector of rekeyable locks for creating different opening systems such as, for example, keyed alike (“KA”) systems, master key (“MK”) systems, grand master key (“GMK”) systems, central cylinder (“CC”) systems, or central cylinder and master key (“CCMK”) systems.
  • KA keyed alike
  • MK master key
  • GMK grand master key
  • CC central cylinder
  • CCMK central cylinder and master key
  • 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 non-interference 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.
  • the repositioning of the springs and counter-pins can also be carried out after reinserting the plug (in which the active pins, and the passive pins if present, have been replaced).
  • the springs and counter-pins are inserted into their respective seats through the openings (closed off by closures) in the latter facing towards the outside of the body of the cylinder.
  • this entails the use of a further specific apparatus capable of repositioning the closures in the aforesaid openings.
  • the choice between the first and second methods is mainly determined by habit, the tools necessary and the ability of the operator who must carry them out.
  • the main drawback of the first method regards the process of longitudinal cutting of the key, which requires the use of dedicated equipment (for example, clamp, saw or rotary blade ...) and, moreover, is time-consuming.
  • the main drawback regards the step of repositioning the components (namely the counter-pins and springs) that have come out of place following the extraction of the plug. In fact, this step requires the use of dedicated equipment and a high level of precision on the part of the operator, who, consequently, must invest a great deal of time for correct repositioning.
  • the technical task at the basis of the present invention is to propose a cylinder for a lock, a method for producing a rekeyable cylinder and a process for preparing for use a rekeyable cylinder which overcome the aforesaid drawbacks of the prior art.
  • 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.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a rekeyable cylinder and processes for preparing for use a rekeyable cylinder capable of providing both cylinders with random keying ("KD"), and system cylinders ("KA”, "MK”, ).
  • the invention relates to a rekeyable cylinder for a lock.
  • the rekeyable cylinder comprises a main body, a plug inserted in a housing of the main body and, moreover, configured to rotate about a rotation axis thereof.
  • the main body extends along a longitudinal direction of extension coinciding with the rotation axis of the plug. Consequently, the housing obtained in the main body also extends along the rotation axis.
  • the plug has a slot for inserting a key.
  • the seats obtained in the main body (for the counter-pins) are arranged in sequence along a direction parallel to the rotation axis and, moreover, they are arranged in communication with the aforesaid housing.
  • 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, and they are disposed in communication with the slot.
  • the seats for the active pins are in communication with the slot.
  • the plug is disposed in a rotated position relative to the operative configuration so that the slot is aligned with the transverse direction.
  • the cylinder also comprises a blocking device configured to maintain the plug in the aforesaid rotated position relative to the operative configuration so that the counter-pins are maintained completely inside their respective seats.
  • the blocking device comprises an insert that extends along the direction of longitudinal extension of the plug in order to be inserted into the slot so as to press on the counter-pins to maintain them completely inside their respective seats.
  • the production of a rekeyable cylinder for a lock with the provision of a blocking device configured to maintain the plug in a rotated position relative to the "normal" operative configuration of the lock ("normal” in that locks are normally set and sold in that configuration) extremely simplifies the operations of rekeying by a specialised technician, or a locksmith, or even the end user.
  • the aforesaid cylinder can alternatively be immediately rendered operative (as better described below with the preparation process) simply by removing the blocking device and rotating the plug. In this manner, the cylinder can be sold as a "KD" cylinder with random keying.
  • the method comprises housing a plurality of active pins in respective seats obtained on the plug and only afterwards inserting the plug into the housing of the main body of the cylinder.
  • the invention also relates to a process for preparing for use a rekeyable cylinder.
  • the aforesaid process also comprises a preliminary rekeying step to be carried out before the step of releasing the rotation of the plug.
  • the rekeying step comprises:
  • the appended figures illustrate a so-called “double cylinder”, that is to say, a cylinder in which the key can be inserted on both sides of the cylinder itself. In this manner, when installed on a door, the cylinder will allow the insertion of the key from both the outside and inside. It should be noted that the present description is also applicable to other types of cylinders that are not illustrated, such as the so-called “half cylinder” or “thumb turn cylinder”, wherein the key can be inserted from one side only, as is typically the case for garage or front door locks.
  • Figure 1 shows a rekeyable cylinder 1 for a lock having a main body 2. More precisely, figure 1 illustrates a rekeyable double cylinder 1, whose main body 2 is divided into two substantially symmetrical parts.
  • the cylinder 1 comprises a pair of plugs 3 ( figure 3 ), each of which is inserted into a respective housing 4 of the main body 2.
  • Each plug 3 is configured to rotate about a rotation axis X thereof.
  • Each plug 3 further has a slot 5 ( figure 1 ) for inserting a key.
  • the main body 2 has a fixing opening 51 disposed below the cam 50 and adapted to receive a corresponding fixing screw configured to maintain the cylinder 1 in a position solidly joined to and inside the lock.
  • the fixing screw is a further security element for preventing the extraction of the cylinder 1 from the lock also in the event that the cam 50 is not projecting from the main body 2.
  • a plurality of active pins 6 are housed in respective seats 7 obtained on the plug 3. Furthermore, a plurality of counter-pins 8 are housed in respective seats 9 obtained in the main body 2 according to a direction T that is transverse to the rotation axis X of the plug, in order to define a keying of the lock when the plug 3 is in an operative configuration, in which each active pin 6 is aligned with a respective counter-pin 8.
  • the plug 3 is in a rotated position relative to the operative configuration, so the slot 5 is aligned with the aforesaid transverse direction T.
  • the cylinder 1 also comprises a blocking device 10 configured to maintain the plug 3 in the rotated position relative to the operative configuration.
  • the blocking device 10 comprises an insert 11 that extends along a direction of longitudinal extension "L" and, moreover, is configured to be inserted into the slot 5 and press on the counter-pins 8 to maintain them completely inside the respective seats 9.
  • the insert 11 which, as mentioned, is shaped so as to extend inside the slot 5 along the seats 9 of the counter-pins 8.
  • the insert 11 acts as an abutment element, against which the counter-pins 8 abut.
  • each counter-pin 8 comprises a pre-loaded elastic element 8a, for example a spring, and a spacer 8b, for example a cylindrical element.
  • a pre-loaded elastic element 8a for example a spring
  • a spacer 8b for example a cylindrical element
  • the insert 11 is partially inserted inside the slot 5 relative to the direction of longitudinal extension "L" (i.e. the length or depth of the plug 3) and/or relative to the transverse direction T (i.e. the width or diameter of the plug 3).
  • the insert 11 is thus preferably shaped so as to occupy a portion of volume close to the outer circumference of the plug 3. In this manner, when it is inserted in the slot 5, the insert 11 lies in a plane tangent to the outer circumference of the plug 3.
  • the insert 11 extends along the direction of longitudinal extension L for a length that can also be less than the length of the plug 3, but which must be sufficient to intercept and lie over all the seats 9 of the counter-pins 8.
  • the insert 11 is substantially interposed between the pair of tabs 13.
