Definitions

  • This invention broadly relates to a lock assembly for a door.
  • the invention particularly relates to a lock assembly including a lock cylinder for a roller type door and a replaceable cam.
  • the invention relates to a spacing means for roller type doors and a latching means for mounting a fascia of a lock assembly onto a door.
  • the present invention relates to a lock assembly including a first mechanism adapted to provide an indication of the orientation of a lock cylinder in which a key can be retrieved and/or a second mechanism adapted to provide an indication of the orientation of a rotatable knob operatively connected to the lock cylinder.
  • the lock assembly described above is capable of enabling deadlocking and/or free latching/unlocking. It however has a disadvantage that it typically includes a mechanism with a cam which can easily be removed with the assistance of a tool such as a screw driver, even when the lock assembly is in a locked state. Once the cam is removed, unauthorised turning of the turn can be effected to unlock the door. This means that the mechanism only offers a relatively low level of security.
  • the lock assembly described above has another disadvantage that after it has been mounted onto a roller type door with a plurality of folding panels, the panels are likely to be nibbed against the housing of the lock assembly often resulting in the surface of the panels being scratched or the housing being damaged.
  • the lock assembly described above involves a design which allows retrieval of a key only when the lock barrel is at a certain orientation.
  • Some designs provide a lock assembly with a stopper which functions to let the user know when the key can be retrieved.
  • Other designs do not facilitation provision of a stopper. In such cases, the user has to rely merely on the feel of the barrel wafers within the lock barrel to determine whether the lock barrel is in an orientation in which the key can be retrieved. This has the disadvantages of the lock assembly being not very user-friendly and having a shorter than normal life expectancy due to frequent wear and tear.

  • a lock assembly 10 for a roller type door (not shown) includes a housing 12, a knob 14, a lock cylinder 16, a cam 18 and two arms 44 and 46.
  • the housing 12 receives the lock cylinder 16 which is operable between a lock position (as shown in Figures 1 and 2) and an unlocked position (as shown in Figures 3 and 4).
  • a key not shown
  • the knob 14 is freely rotatable with respect to the housing 12.
  • the cam 18 is removably attached to the lock cylinder 16 and is capable of being locked in position with respect to the lock cylinder 16.
  • the cam 18 includes two opposing flanges 32 and 34 located around its periphery 36.
  • the lock cylinder 16 includes two interlocking means in the form of recesses 22 and 24.
  • Recess 22 is semi-circular in shape whereas recess 24 is triangular in shape.
  • the cam 18 includes an annular wall 26 on one side with two engaging means which are in the form of protrusions 28 and 30.
  • the protrusion 28 is triangular in shape whereas protrusion 30 is semi-circular in shape.
  • the shapes of the two protrusions 28 and 30 are complementary to the shapes of the two recesses 22 and 24, respectively, This enables a user to identify the orientation in which the cam 18 is to engage the lock cylinder 16 during installation.
  • the knob 14 is in the shape of a ring having two opposing retaining means 38 and 40.
  • the knob 14 has two internally threaded tubes 48 and SO (see Figure 6) for receiving two screws 52 and 54.
  • the arms 44 and 46 are associated with the tubes 48 and 50. As the knob 14 rotates, the tubes 48 and 50 move along tracks 56 and 58 respectively. As such, the movement of the arms 44 and 46 is dictated by the knob 14 which may be driven directly by a user or via the cam 18.
  • the retaining means 38 and 40 are configured and located such that when the lock cylinder 16 is in a locked position, they overlap part of the flanges 32 and 34 of the cam 18. As a result, the cam 18 cannot be removed from the deadlock assembly 10. It will be appreciated that the cam 18 is retained in the deadlock assembly 10 when the arms 44 and 46 are in the outwards (locking) position and the key removed and lock cylinder 16 in a locked position. In the deadlocked position, the knob 14 cannot be rotated due to the design of the geometry of the cam 18. The only way to override this would be to remove the deadlocking cam 18 or manipulate the lock cylinder 16 from the inside.
  • the cam 18 cannot be rotated due to the protrusions 28 and 30 of the cam 18 being interlocked with the recesses 22 and 24 and the flanges 32 and 34 of the cam 18 sitting under the retaining means 38 and 40 of the knob 14.
  • the deadlocking cam 18 is also turned accordingly. This results in the flanges 32 and 34 of the deadlocking cam 18 no longer sitting under the retaining means 38 and 40. As such, after removal of the screws 40 and 42, the cam 18 is removable, which in turn allows for easy removal of the lock cylinder 1 .
  • the cam 18 also includes a pair of impeding means in the form of lugs 62 and 64.
  • the lugs 62 and 64 of the cam 18 are positioned such that when the lock cylinder 16 is in the locked position and the key removed, the knob 14 is restricted from rotating. As such, deadlocking is achieved as the lock cylinder 16 cannot be rotated without the key and the knob 14 cannot be rotated being restricted by the lugs 62 and 64.
  • the lock cylinder 16 In operation, to lock a door (not shown) when the deadlock cam 18 is in a locked position, the lock cylinder 16 is rotated anticlockwise by 180 degrees. This rotates the knob 14 anticlockwise by 90 degrees and hence driving the arms 44 and 46 outwards. In this state, the deadlocking cam 18 cannot be removed even after the screws 40 and 42 are removed. To retrieve the arms 44 and 46 when the deadlock cam 18 is in an unlocked position, rotate the key and hence the lock cylinder 16 clockwise by 180 degrees, which will rotate the knob 14 clockwise by 90 degrees. The cam 18 can now be removed after removing the screws 40 and 42.
  • a second cam 60 replacing the first cam 18 is attached to the lock cylinder 16 and is locked in position with respect to the lock cylinder 16.
  • the second cam 60 is configured with respect to the knob 14 so that when the lock cylinder 14 is in the locked position and the key removed, the knob 14 is rotatable.
  • the cam 60 also includes two opposing flanges 70 and 72 located around its periphery (see Figures 11 and 12).
  • the cam 60 also includes an annular wall 76 (see Figure 12) on one side with two engaging means which arc in the form of protrusions 78 and 80.
  • the protrusion 78 is semi-circular in shape whereas protrusion 80 is triangular in shape.
  • the shapes of the two protrusions 78 and 80 are complementary to the shapes of the two recesses 22 and 24, respectively. This enables a user to identify the orientation in which the cam 60 is to engage the lock cylinder 16 during installation. It can be seen that compared with the geometry of the cam 16, the semi-circular and triangular protrusions have swapped positions.
  • the cam 60 also includes a pair of impeding means in the form of lugs 66 and 68.
  • the lugs 66 and 68 of the cam 60 are positioned differently from those of the cam 18 and in such a way that when the cam 60 is engaged with the lock cylinder 16, the lock cylinder 16 in the locked position and the key removed, the knob 14 is still rotatable as the lugs 66 and 68 of the cam 60 are not abutting the retaining means 38 and 40 of the knob.

  • the blade of the replacement locking elements 84 is shorter than that of the locking elements 86.

  • the lock cylinder 16 being contained in the housing is movable by a rotatable knob 14A which is connected to the lock cylinder 16 via a cam.
  • the knob 14A has two recesses 214 and 216 (see Figure 27) located at two selected positions in its internal surface 218. In use, the ball 210 is urged by the spring 211 to press against the internal surface 218 of the knob 14A.
  • the ball 210 being urged by the spring 211 is partially received within the recesses 214 and 216, respectively.
  • This offers two advantages, namely 1) allowing a knob user to receive a positive indication as to the orientation of the knob and 2) allowing a key holder who is operating the lock assembly via the lock cylinder 16 to receive a position indication as to when the stop turning the lock cylinder 16 which is connected to the cam (not shown) which in turn can be rotated by the rotatable knob 14A.
  • the knob 14A acts as a stop for the cam and the lock cylinder 16.
  • latching and engaging mechanisms may operate collaboratively or independently.
  • lock assembly of the present invention may offer at least the following advantages:
  • the engaging means may be in other desired shapes and forms with a curved surface to facilitate moving in and out of the recesses as the knob rotates.
  • the L-shaped wafers may be replaced by Z-shaped wafers or wafers in other shapes to suit different lock cylinder designs. All such variations and modifications are to be considered within the scope and spirit of the present invention the nature of which is to be determined from the foregoing description.
  • the lock assembly of the present invention is industrially applicable as it prevents unauthorised removal of a deadlock cam from the lock assembly and allows replacement of a deadlock cam with a free latching cam.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un ensemble de verrouillage (10) comportant un logement (12), une poignée (14) et des première et seconde cames (18 et 60). Le logement (12) est conçu pour recevoir un cylindre de verrouillage (16) pouvant fonctionner à l'aide d'une clé entre une position de verrouillage et une position de déverrouillage. La poignée (14) peut tourner par rapport au logement (12). La première ou la seconde came (18 ou 60) peut être fixée de manière amovible au cylindre de verrouillage (16) et peut être verrouillée en position par rapport au cylindre de verrouillage (16). L'une des cames (18 ou 60) peut être remplacée par l'autre came. La première came (18) est conçue par rapport à la poignée (14) de sorte que lors de son utilisation, lorsque le cylindre de verrouillage (16) est en position verrouillée et que la clé est retirée, la poignée (14) est limitée en rotation. La seconde came (60) est conçue par rapport à la poignée (14) de sorte que lors de son utilisation, lorsque le cylindre de verrouillage (16) est en position verrouillée et que la clé est retirée, la poignée (14) peut tourner.
