DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0015] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, an electronic lock that includes functions of foolproofness and repositionability is provided, comprising:

[0016] a lock body 1, wherein the lock body 1 is an electromagnetic lock and the lock body 1 is formed with a plurality of teeth 11 and at least one receiving cavity 12;

[0017] a repositionable plate 2, wherein the repositionable plate 2 is formed with at least one elongated hole 21, at least one perforated portion 22, and at least one projecting spot 23, and the repositionable plate 2 is formed, on an underside thereof, with a plurality of teeth 24, such that, as shown in FIG. 3, the teeth 24 on the underside of the repositionable plate 2 and the teeth 11 of the lock body 1 are mutually engageable with each other and each of the at least one elongated hole 21 of the repositionable plate 2 is fixed to a corresponding one of the at least one receiving cavity 12 of the lock body 1 by means of a fastening element 211; and

[0018] an escutcheon 3, wherein the escutcheon 3 is formed with at least one fixing hole 31 and at least one foolproof hole 32, and the escutcheon 3 is fit, by means of the at least one foolproof hole 32, to the at least one projecting spot 23 of the repositionable plate 2, and the escutcheon 3 is attached to and fixed to the at least one perforated portion 22 of the repositionable plate 2 by means of at least one fastening element 311.

[0019] The teeth 11 provided on the lock body 1 and the teeth 24 provided on the underside of the repositionable plate 2 are arranged in mating engagement with each other in a manner of being adjustable through repositioning relative to each other in order to be set at a desired position relative to each other and are then fixed together by means of the fastening element 211 extended through the elongated hole 21 of the repositionable plate 2 and penetrating into the receiving cavity 12 of the lock body 1, thereby achieving an effect of repositioning, as clearly demonstrated in FIGS. 4 and 5. Further, the escutcheon 3 is formed with at least one foolproof hole 32 that receives the projecting spot 23 of the repositionable plate 2 to fit therein, so that easy fitting of the projecting spot 23 can be achieved during assembling and an effect of foolproofness can be provided.

[0020] Interior structure of the above-discussed lock body, and also technical features and operation thereof, is not a novel part of this invention and is simply omitted herein, as it is well known in the art.
