Abstract
A mechano-electronically operated cylinder-key unit for locking including a cylinder unit and key. The cylinder unit having a cylinder portion, a pawl for operating a bar for locking/unlocking, an electrical energy generator for powering an electronic circuit provide in the cylinder unit, whereby a triggering member activates the electrical energy generator when a predetermined extent of insertion of the key into the cylinder is exceeded. The key is also provided with an electronic circuit whereby both electronic circuits are provide with a control logic for recognizing and allowing operation of the pawl.
Claims23
A mechano-electronically operated cylinder-key unit for locking, comprising:
- a cylinder unit including:
- a cylinder portion;
- a pawl which operates a bar for locking/unlocking;
- an electrical energy generator for powering an electronic circuit provided in said cylinder unit, said electrical energy generator being activated by a triggering member;
- and
- means for transforming said triggering member into kinetic energy so a deactivation movement of said pawl is achieved;
- and
- a key inserted into said cylinder unit, said key is provided with an electronic circuit whereby both said electronic circuits being provided with a control logic for recognizing and allowing operation of said pawl.
