Mechanism for keyless lock systems

A mechanism for a keyless lock, comprising:

• a generally prismatic body having a longitudinal hole and, orthogonal thereto, a plurality of transverse holes through the body, the longitudinal and transverse holes having geometric axes at respective distances from each other less than the respective sums of the radii thereof;
• a longitudinal cylinder for carrying a locking element axially movable in the longitudinal hole for lock-operating movement of the locking element, the longitudinal cylinder having concavely-rounded annular cuts thereabout;
• retaining cylinders respectively having concavely-rounded annular cuts at positions therealong and being movable axially in the transverse holes for respective receipt in the annular cuts of the longitudinal cylinder, whereby to restrain the lock-operating axial movement of the longitudinal cylinder and, upon axial movement of the retaining cylinders in one direction, for aligning the concavely-rounded annular cuts of all the retaining cylinders with the longitudinal cylinder, whereby to allow the lock-operating axial movement of the latter, each retaining cylinder having a plurality of other, teeth annular cuts which define a saw-toothed structure about one end thereof in the block;
• and
• independent advance means respectively for axially moving the retaining cylinders, each independent advance means comprising a pulsator movably emerging from the body and lug means in the body responsive to pushing the pulsator into the body for engaging the saw-toothed structure of a corresponding retaining cylinder and incrementally moving the latter in the one direction in the transverse hole it is in.
