Abstract
A magnetic lock (20) has at least one catch (36) having a lock plate (53). At least one first magnet (44) is arranged on the catch (36). The catch (36) can move back and forth between a locked position and unlocked position such that, when in unlocked position, the lock plate (53) at least partially closes a locating hole (26) for a shaft (22). Furthermore, a second magnet (48) is provided in the magnetic lock (20) that pulls the first magnet (44)—and the catch (36) along with it—into locked position.
Claims13
A magnetic lock (20) comprising a first latch (36, 53) and a second latch (38, 55) provided in the magnetic lock (20), the first latch (36, 53) having a first permanent magnet (44), and the second latch (38, 55) having a second permanent magnet (48), wherein the first latch (36, 53) and the second latch (38, 55) can move back and forth between a locked position and an unlocked position so that, when in the locked position, the first latch (36, 53) and the second latch (38, 55) at least partially close a receiving hole (26), the first permanent magnet (44) and the second permanent magnet (48) exerting a force on each other, such that the first latch (36, 54) and the second latch (38, 55) are pulled into the locked position by the first permanent magnet (44) and the second permanent magnet (48).
A magnetic key (90) having at least two key magnets (99, 104) arranged next to each other such that a north pole of one key magnet (99) points in one direction, and a north pole of the other key magnet (104) points substantially in the opposite direction, wherein the key magnets (99, 100, 102, 104) are arranged on a rotary disc (137) which is rotatable with reference to the magnetic key (90).
A magnetic lock (20) comprising a first latch (36, 53) and a second latch (38, 55) provided in the magnetic lock (20), the first latch (36, 53) having a first permanent magnet (44), and the second latch (38, 55) having a second permanent magnet (48), wherein the first latch (36, 53) and the second latch (38, 55) can move back and forth between a locked position and an unlocked position so that, when in the locked position, the first latch (36, 53) and the second latch (38, 55) at least partially close a receiving hole (26), the first permanent magnet (44) and the second permanent magnet (48) exerting a force on each other, such that the first latch (36, 54) and the second latch (38, 55) are pulled into the locked position by the first permanent magnet (44) and the second permanent magnet (48), and
- further wherein the first latch (36, 53) has two first permanent magnets (44, 46) and the second latch (38, 55) has two second permanent magnets (48, 50).
