A cylinder and key lock mechanism is unlocked when a specific combination of rotation angles of dialer groups, each constituted by one internal dialer disc and by one external dialer ring coupled through teeth, is dialed through rotation of the key having a formed cipher. A security mechanism, being part of the key and driven by the insertion of the key into the cylinder, enables re-programming. When unlocked and with re-programming enabled, re-programming is possible where the inner dialer discs are decoupled from the respective outer dialer rings, the key can be rotated driving only the inner dialer discs and extracted leaving the system in a re-programming configuration. A new key having a different cipher can be inserted and the system exited re-programming with a different coupling between the inner dialer discs and the respective outer dialer rings so that they couple with the new key cipher.

A key or a key blank for a disk cylinder having a plurality of rotatably supported disk tumblers has a key shaft having a shaft cross-section that comprises a first end section, a second end section and a connection section along a longitudinal axis, the connection section connecting the first end section and the second end section to one another. The connection section is narrower than the two end sections and has two longitudinal edges that are aligned in parallel with one another and that extend obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the shaft cross-section between the two end sections.

A lock core structure composed of a lock core seat, a lock core shell, a push plate, lock plates, washers, a positioning plate, a latch lever, a brake bolt plate pushed by a compression spring, a positioning baffle, and a retaining ring. An accommodating chamber of the seat is provided with an accommodating groove, a ring groove, a shaft hole and a groove, an inner bottom surface of the shell is provided with a slide groove for disposing the push plate, the brake bolt plate is provided in the accommodating groove, and provided with a pivot shaft disposed in the shaft hole, the positioning baffle is provided in the chamber and provided with a first baffle corresponding to an embedding groove of the seat, and a second baffle corresponding to the accommodating groove and the groove, and the retaining ring is embedded in the ring groove.

A disc tumbler cylinder lock has a lock cylinder base, multiple discs, and multiple gaskets. The lock cylinder base has an accommodating space, a position limiting opening, and an accommodating opening. Each of the discs has a position limiting protrusion and a disc notch. Each of the gaskets has a ring body, a position limiting segment, and a rotation limiting segment. The position limiting segment protrudes outward from an outer annular surface of the ring body along a radial direction. The rotation limiting segment protrudes from the position limiting segment along an axial direction of the lock sleeve. The discs and the gaskets are staggeredly accommodated in the accommodating space. A side surface of the position limiting protrusion abuts a side surface of the position limiting opening. Two sides of the position limiting segment abut two opposite sides of the position limiting opening.

The present invention provides a structure composed of lock core and key, which lock pieces may only shift in parallel, so as to avoid the lock pieces from rotating and to prevent the key sockets on the lock pieces from misaligning with one another due to random rotation of the lock pieces, which ensures easy and smooth key insertion and operation.

An arrangement for a lock is provided, comprising a stator, a rotor, which is rotatably arranged in the stator, and a set of elements arranged in the rotor for cooperating with the stator, which elements each have an opening and which elements are arranged successively in the longitudinal direction of the rotor and the openings of which together form a through hole for receiving a key, each of the elements being readjustably arranged, independently of each other, between a state which upon actuation is blocking and a state which upon the same actuation is releasing. The disclosure further concerns a key, which has a body along which a plurality of projections are arranged, the plurality of projections all being arranged in a common plane and the plurality of projections all having the same height and defining together the profile of the key.

A cylinder lock comprises a cylinder housing (11) and a cylinder core (13) which is rotatably mounted in the cylinder housing. A plurality of plate tumblers (21) are provided in the cylinder core, wherein each of the plurality of plate tumblers is movable between a locking position and an unlocking position. At least one of the plurality of plate tumblers has a bolt-receiving depression (47). The cylinder lock further comprises at least one bolt element (27) which has a bolt tip (35), wherein the bolt element is movable between a blocking position and a release position. In the release position, the bolt tip engages in the bolt-receiving depression of the plate tumbler. The plate tumbler has, adjacent to the bolt-receiving depression, at least one bolt latch-in depression (45) in which the bolt tip of the bolt element engages in a latching manner when the at least one plate tumbler is moved out of the unlocking position, wherein the bolt latch-in depression is less deep than the bolt-receiving depression.

A lock cylinder comprises a cylinder housing, a disk housing rotatably supported about a cylinder axis in the cylinder housing and a plurality of rotatably supported disk tumblers arranged along the cylinder axis in the disk housing, wherein each disk tumbler has a reception opening for a key, a blocking cut-out at the outer periphery for an at least partial reception of a blocking pin aligned in parallel with the cylinder axis and a fixing cut-out provided offset from the blocking cut-out at the outer periphery for an at least partial reception of a core pin aligned in parallel with the cylinder axis. The disk tumblers are rotatable from a starting position with a removed key into an end sorting position by a rotation of the introduced key in the latching direction, in which end sorting position the blocking cut-outs of all the disk tumblers are oriented in alignment with one another, viewed in the direction of the cylinder axis. The fixing cut-outs of all the disk tumblers are oriented in alignment with one another in the end sorting position, viewed in the direction of the cylinder axis. The lock cylinder is adapted such that, on a further rotation of the disk tumblers out of the end sorting position in the unlatching direction, the core pin first engages into the fixing cut-outs and the blocking pin only then engages into the blocking cut-outs.

The present disclosure provides for a lock cylinder having a rotatable spindle with at least one disc and at least one wafer housing rotatingly engaged therewith. A slidable wafer is carried on the wafer housing. A locking bar is operable to prevent rotation of the lock cylinder in a locked position and permit rotation of the lock cylinder in an unlocked position.

A gun mounting lock and a method of using the same to secure a gun to a support surface. The gun mounting lock includes first and second arms positioned opposite each other and a ratchet assembly positioned between lower ends of the arms. The ratchet assembly engages gears provided on the lower ends of the arms. When the assembly is pushed downwardly by placing part of a gun thereon, the downward movement of the assembly causes the two arms to pivot towards each other simultaneously, capturing the gun between the arms and the assembly. The assembly is locked against movement in the reverse direction by a pin of a solenoid contacting a toothed flange on one of the arms. The assembly can be unlocked using a key or by providing power to the solenoid. The gun mounting lock housing is adjustably engaged with a track mounted on the support surface.
