Abstract
A permutation lock includes a plurality of adjustment rings which are rotatable about a common axis to set a secret code and includes a locking mechanism which has a blocking element. The blocking element can be displaced in the axial direction with respect to the axis of rotation of the adjustment rings from a blocking position into a release position. The adjustment rings are rotationally operationally coupled to axially movable driver elements. The driver elements have axial elevated portions, wherein the driver elements cooperate via the elevated portions in the axial direction such that the blocking element is only displaced axially in the release position by means of the driver elements in that the secret code is set at the adjustment rings.
Claims20
A permutation lock comprising a plurality of adjustment rings (22a-22d) which are rotatable about a common axis (D) to set a secret code and having a locking mechanism which has a blocking element (72), wherein the blocking element (72) is displaceable with respect to the axis of rotation (D) of the adjustment rings (22a-22d) in the axial direction from a blocking position and to a release position, wherein the adjustment rings (22a-22d) are rotationally operationally coupled to axially movable driver elements (32a-32d),
- wherein
- the driver elements (32a-32d) have axial elevated portions (54), with the driver elements (32a-32d) axially driving the blocking element (72) into the release position by rotationally bringing the elevated portions (54) of all of the driver elements (32a-32d) into alignment with one another, wherein the elevated portions (54) of the driver elements (32a-32d) are configured to be all brought into alignment with one another, only when a complete secret code is set.
