| 20090235704 | DEADBOLT LOCK KNOB RESISTOR - A deadbolt knob restrictor used to prevent the rotation of the inside knob on the deadbolt lock. The restrictor includes a ring member designed to fit between the cover plate located on the inside surface of the door. Attached to the ring member are two perpendicularly aligned support arms with a pin-style hinge formed on their distal ends. Attached to the hinge is an L-shaped latch. Formed on the latch is a cam surface which presses against a spring loaded piston disposed between the cam surface and the support arm. The latch includes a long leg that may be disposed transversely over the ring member, and a short leg that may be placed adjacent to the wide surface of the deadbolt lock's turn knob to prevent its rotation. During assembly, the ring member is placed under the locks inside cover plate. During use the piston forcibly holds the latch in a locked or unlocked position against the turn knob. The latch may be rotated in the opposite direction so that the turn knob is free to rotate to the unlock position. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20160186459 | KEY - A key for operating a mechanical lock, which key includes a head portion for holding by a user, a lock-engaging portion for inserting into the lock for operating the lock by the application of a turning force, and a joining portion between the head portion and the lock-engaging portion and fixing the head portion to the lock-engaging portion. The joining portion includes a shape memory material, which reversibly deforms without breakage when a first turning force on the key is exceeded, where the first turning force is lower than a second turning force. The second turning force being a turning force which if exceeded causes breakage of the lock-engaging portion or the head portion. The shape memory material may exhibit a superelastic effect in which the shape is restored when the turning force ceases, or shape memory effect in which the shape is restored on heating above a state-transition temperature. | 06-30-2016 |

| 20090078010 | Break-In Resistant Cylinder for Locks - A break-in resistant cylinder for locks, comprising a stator provided with a substantially cylindrical longitudinal cavity for accommodating a rotor with a longitudinal recess for the insertion of a key. The rotor and the stator comprise a plurality of channels which are substantially aligned and face each other (when the cylinder is in the closed configuration); the channels accommodate respective coding pins, tumbler pins and any elastic elements designed to prevent the rotation of the rotor within the stator if the key is not present in the longitudinal recess. At least one of the tumbler pins comprises a bush and a spike; the stem of the spike has a smaller diameter than the inside diameter of the bush and is longer than the bush. The spike is arranged so that its head is directed toward the bottom of the channel of the stator and rests against the elastic elements and the free end of the stem rests against the lower surface of the coding pin. The lower surface of the bush rests against the collar of the head of the spike proximate to the coupling of the stem. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20140144193 | CYLINDER GUARD FOR DEADBOLT LOCK - A cylinder guard for a deadbolt lock having a face portion and an inner portion. The inner portion includes a radial flange and an axial flange created by forming the wall of the guard into a doubled portion. Indentations are formed in the axial flange which enhances the resistance of the guard to an attack upon the deadbolt. The guard also includes a tapered blow-deflecting portion between the inner portion and face portion. A crush zone may be formed between the inner and face portions to attenuate the energy from an attack that is transferred to the axial and radial flanges. A method for making the guard includes stamping a body from steel strip using a multi-station press. | 05-29-2014 |
