Programmable lock cylinder assembly

A programmable lock cylinder assembly comprising:

• a lock housing having a body defining a tubular opening;
• a cylinder plug having a body mounted for rotation within the tubular opening, the cylinder plug including a keyway extending therein;
• at least one locking member in the cylinder plug and moveable between a locked position wherein the cylinder plug is rotationally locked relative to the housing and an unlocked position wherein the cylinder plug is rotational relative to the housing;
• a plurality of pin sets, each pin set including a keyway pin component and a locking pin component and positioned in the cylinder plug such that a portion of each keyway pin component extends across the keyway, each keyway pin component selectively engagable with a respective locking pin component;
• a re-combinating member engaged with one of the components of each pin set and moveable between a first position wherein the keyway pin components are engaged with the locking pin components and a second position wherein the keyway pin components are disengaged from the locking pin components;
• and
• a reset actuator positioned within the cylinder plug with a portion aligned with the keyway, the reset actuator moveable between an engaged position wherein the re-combinating member position is locked relative to the cylinder plug and a non-engaged position wherein the re-combinating member position is moveable relative to the cylinder plug,
• wherein the re-combinating member is engaged with each keyway pin component such that the keyway pin components move with, and thereby away from engagement with the locking pin components, when the re-combinating member moves to the non-engaged position.

• a cylinder plug having a body mounted for rotation within the tubular opening, the cylinder plug including a keyway extending therein;
• at least one locking member in the cylinder plug and moveable between a locked position wherein the cylinder plug is rotationally locked relative to the housing and an unlocked position wherein the cylinder plug is rotational relative to the housing;
• a plurality of pin sets, each pin set including a keyway pin component and a locking pin component and positioned in the cylinder plug such that a portion of each keyway pin component extends across the keyway, each keyway pin component selectively engagable with a respective locking pin component;
• a re-combinating member engaged with one of the components of each pin set and moveable between a first position wherein the keyway pin components are engaged with the locking pin components and a second position wherein the keyway pin components are disengaged from the locking pin components;
• and
• a reset actuator positioned within the cylinder plug with a portion aligned with the keyway, the reset actuator moveable between an engaged position wherein the re-combinating member position is locked relative to the cylinder plug and a non-engaged position wherein the re-combinating member position is moveable relative to the cylinder plug,
• wherein the at least one locking member includes a plurality of top pins, each top pin radially supported by a respective locking pin component and biased to extend across a shear line between the cylinder plug and the lock housing in the locked position.
