Abstract
A cylinder lock for use in a door lock, comprising an outer plug, an inner plug, a rotary cam adapted to move a deadbolt of the door lock, and a clutch adapted to engage for rotation the outer plug to the rotary cam. The cylinder lock further comprises an electronic blocking device (EBD) and a drive adapted to actuate the clutch upon an unblocking command from the EBD generated upon receiving therein an unblocking signal emitted from the outer side of the door, thereby enabling moving the deadbolt by rotation of the outer plug. The cylinder lock comprises an inner handle attached thereto at the inner side of the door, the EBD and the drive being entirely accommodated within the inner handle. The signal is emitted by an electronic key or panel and may be a mechanical vibration signal, a light signal, or a radio signal.
Claims28
A cylinder lock for use in a door lock mounted in a door having an outer and an inner side, said cylinder lock comprising an outer plug, a rotary cam adapted to move a deadbolt in said door lock, and a clutch adapted to engage for rotation said outer plug to said rotary cam, said cylinder lock further comprising an electronic blocking device (EBD) and a drive means adapted to actuate said clutch upon an unblocking command from said EBD generated upon receiving therein an unblocking signal emitted from the outer side of the door, thereby enabling moving said deadbolt by rotation of said outer plug, wherein
- said cylinder lock comprises an inner handle attached thereto at said inner side of the door, said EBD and said drive means being entirely accommodated within said inner handle;
- wherein said inner handle is detachably secured to said cylinder lock solely by one or more mechanical fasteners accessible from the inner side of the door alone a surface free of electric contacts and free of any connections preventing separation of said inner handle from the remaining parts of the cylinder lock after said one or more fasteners is released, whereby said inner handle is detachable from said cylinder lock without a need to dismantle any part of the door or any other part of the lock.
A cylinder lock according to claim wherein said unblocking signal is a mechanical vibration signal, and said signal emitter has an impact head adapted to deliver said vibration signal to the outer side of the door.
