Abstract
The rotary locking cylinder comprises a housing (5) and at least one rotor (8) provided with a key channel (27). Tumblers are provided to rotationally release the armature (8) with a key (17) associated therewith. A driver (6) is provided with at least one extension element (3) on the active part (2) of the rotary cylinder. Said extension element comprises a housing (24) and a rotatable insert (9). At least one extension element (3) is arranged on an outer side on the active part (2) at a distance from the driver (6). The key shank is extended in a manner which corresponds substantially to the length (A) of the extension element (3). Preferably, the rotatable insert (9) of the extension element (3) is profiled.

A rotary locking cylinder for a safety lock, comprising:
- a first housing;
- at least one rotor (8) having a key channel (27);
- a driver (6) engaged around the at least one rotor (8) and having tumblers which rotationally release the at least one rotor (8) with a corresponding key (17), wherein the rotor (8) and driver (6) are both engaged within the first housing (5);
- wherein the first housing forms an active part (2) of the rotary locking cylinder and has a first end and a second end facing away from the driver (6);
- a second housing (14) having a rotatable insert (9) forming a first extension element (3);
- wherein the first extension element (3) is fixed on the active part (2) a distance apart from the driver (6) on the first end of the active part (2) and a key shank of the corresponding key is extended substantially corresponding to a length (A) of the first extension element (3);
- wherein the rotatable insert (9) of the first extension element (3) extends out from the first end of the rotor (8);
- and
- wherein the second housing (14) of the first extension element (3) also extends out from the first end of the first housing (5).
