Disclosed is an invention that relates to a breakage prevention type card key. A breakage prevention type card key of the present invention includes: a substrate part installed inside a case part, a key accommodation part connected to the substrate part and having a groove into which an auxiliary key part is inserted, a locking part located inside the key accommodation part and elastically pressurizing a side surface of the auxiliary key part stored in the key accommodation part to restrain the movement of the auxiliary key part, and a reinforcement part extended from key accommodation part and coupled to the case part and augmenting the rigidity of the case part located on both sides of the entrance of the key accommodation part.

The invention relates to a flat key profile for a lock and key system in which a key channel corresponding to the key profile is provided in the lock cylinder. In this case, the key profile of the key shank facing the key back upper profile section and a key face facing the lower profile section, wherein in the lower profile section in a side surface of the key shank a triangular, the center plane of the key shank superior, paracentric profile groove (2) provided on the opposite side surface of the key shank one above or below the opposite paracentric profile groove (2) arranged, triangular profile groove (3; 4) is provided, the arrangement of the paracentric profile groove relative to the opposite profile groove is such that an imaginary line (7), the vertical to the keychain plane from the intersection of the upper or lower leg of the paracentric profile groove with the key side surface to the opposite profile groove extends, to an imaginary line (5) extending from the intersection of the upper or lower leg of the opposite profile groove with the key side surface extends to the paracentric profile groove, a vertical distance (9).

The invention relates to a cross-sectional profile (1) for a flat key or the keyway of a cylinder lock, comprising a back surface (2), a first lateral surface (4) and a second lateral surface (4′), wherein the lateral surfaces (4, 4′) extend in the vertical direction to the back surface (2), the lateral surfaces (4, 4′) are arranged offset to one another by a distance (5), which varies along their extension, and the outline of the cross-sectional profile (1) defines a preferably substantially rectangular base profile (6), and wherein the lateral surfaces (4, 4′) each extend at least in sections along sinusoidal profiling lines (7, 7′), wherein the centerlines (8, 8′) of the profiling lines (7, 7′) lie within the base profile (6). Further, the invention relates to a flat key (16) with such a cross-sectional profile (1) and a cylinder lock with a keyway (13) for receiving such a flat key (16).

A communication system includes a mobile device and an apparatus. The apparatus obtains unique data from the mobile device by using a common key while the common key is stored in the mobile device, generates a unique key by using the obtained unique data, stores the generated unique key as a service key in the apparatus, and transmits the generated unique key to the mobile device. When the mobile device receives the unique key from the apparatus while the common key is stored in the mobile device, the mobile device rewrites a service key stored in the mobile device from the common key to the unique key.

A barrel lock key configured to unlock a variety of barrel locks requiring various stroke lengths of a barrel lock key to be unlocked is disclosed. The barrel lock key can be actuated between a neutral position, an intermediate position, and an overthrow position. In the neutral position, there are no outside forces acting on the barrel lock key. In an intermediate position, the barrel lock key can be configured to place a barrel lock in an unlocked orientation. In the overthrow position, the barrel lock key is fully actuated and is configured to maintain a barrel lock in an unlocked orientation without excessive forces that act to disengage the barrel lock key from the barrel lock.

A tubular lock for push locking has a lock housing, a switching handle mounted in a front end portion of the lock housing, an upper pin seat and a lower pin seat mounted in the lock housing and the switching handle, and multiple pin assemblies and a core shaft mounted in the upper pin seat and the lower pin seat. A key is only needed when unlocking the tubular lock, and then the tubular lock can be locked by pushing the core shaft. The tubular lock can be used to latch a pivotal mechanism. When the tubular lock is in an unlocking state, the user can switch the latch to the locking angular position or an unlocking angular position by turning the switching handle without using the key. Therefore, flexibility and convenience in using the tubular lock can be efficiently improved.
