Abstract
A lockset keyway cover-up mechanism is composed of a rotor, a retainer, a bushing, magnetic pins and springs adapted with a key, which is provided with an unlocking part containing multiples of magnets, characterized by that the keyway and multiples of pinholes to accommodate the springs and those magnetic pins are directly or with a rotor case cover provided on the front end of the rotor; multiples of insertion holes are provided in recess on the retainer so that the retainer holds against the end of the rotor by means of the bushing and those insertion holes of the retainer are held in position by the insertion of those magnetic pins protruding from the front face of the rotor for the through hole of the retainer to be at a location apart from the keyway, which in turn is covered up.
Claims5
A lockset keyway cover-up mechanism including a rotor, a rotor case cover, a retainer, magnetic pins, springs and a casing adapted with a key containing an magnetic unlocking part, the key having an unlocking part containing multiples of magnets with its magnetism the same as that of those magnetic pins on the rotor;
- the casing related to a hollow one to cover up the rotor and those members described above, characterized by that:
- the keyway being provided in the rotor case cover on the front face of the rotor and provided with multiples of pinholes irregularly distributed on the case cover to accommodate the springs and those magnetic pins;
- the retainer having provided a through hole in relation to the keyway of the rotor case cover and multiples of insertion hole being provided in relation to those pinholes on the retainer;
- and
- the retainer being provided on the front end of the rotor case cover and covered in position by the casing, the retainer being engaged with its insertion holes to the front face of the rotor case cover and held in position by those magnetic pins in those insertion holes as pushed by the springs, the through hole of the retainer being apart from the keyway, with the unlocking part of the key attached to the retainer, those magnetic pins being rejected by those magnets inside the unlocking part so to clear away from those insertion holes of the retainer for the retainer to engage free rotation, and the through hole of the retainer being overlapped with the keyway.
A lockset keyway cover-up mechanism including a rotor, a rotor case cover, a retainer, magnetic pins, springs and a bushing characterized by that:
- the rotor case cover being independently provided on the front end of the rotor, the keyway being provided to the rotor case cover, multiples of positioning bits and matching slots being respectively provided on the rotor case cover and the front face of the rotor;
- a through hole being provided on the retainer by compromising the keyway of the rotor case cover;
- multiples of tabs extending from the circumference of the bushing to insert into the retainer and the rotor case cover thus to hold the retainer and the rotor case cover in position to form an independent unit before being fixed to the rotor together with the bushing by those tabs extended from the bushing.
