20100300165 | Padlock Having A Blocking Plate For A Spring-Biased Locking Element - A padlock including a lock body, a shackle having two shanks with grooves for receipt of respective locking elements, and a pin which can be rotated by a lock cylinder core for moving the locking elements into their locking position. The pin has an engagement element configured to cooperate with an entrainer formation on the lock cylinder core. The padlock also includes a blocking plate located between the pin and the lock cylinder core and which is fastened in the lock body. The blocking plate has an opening through which the entrainer formation projects into the plane of the engagement element. The opening is configured such that, on the one hand, rotational movement of the lock cylinder core is possible and, on the other hand, a marginal region of the opening forms an abutment engageable with the entrainer formation for restricting rotational movement of the lock cylinder core. | 12-02-2010 |
20120186308 | Padlock for securing and monitoring a switch - A padlock for securing and monitoring a switch of an industrial plant has a lock housing of plastic, furthermore a hoop which is displaceably held at the lock housing and a lock cylinder which is arranged in the lock housing and can selectively be brought from an open position into a locked position to lock the hoop to the lock housing. An RFID transponder is arranged in the lock housing. A securing and monitoring system for a switch of an industrial plant includes at least one such padlock and a mobile RFID reading device or an RFID reading device permanently attached in the environment of the switch, said RFID reading device being configured to read out the RFID transponder of the padlock. | 07-26-2012 |
20120192599 | PADLOCK - A padlock includes a lock housing, a U-shaped lock hoop and a lock cylinder in order selectively to lock the lock hoop to the lock housing, wherein the lock cylinder has a cylinder axis and is secured to the lock housing by means of a securing element. The securing element is displaceably supported at the lock cylinder and is resiliently supported transversely to the cylinder axis, wherein the securing element engages into a securing opening at an inner side of the lock housing to secure the lock cylinder to the lock housing. | 08-02-2012 |
20130014548 | REKEYABLE LOCK CYLINDER, REKEYABLE PADLOCK AND METHOD OF REKEYINGAANM Fan; Wai KuenAACI KowloonAACO HKAAGP Fan; Wai Kuen Kowloon HKAANM Garthe; BernhardAACI GevelsbergAACO DEAAGP Garthe; Bernhard Gevelsberg DE - A rekeyable lock cylinder and a padlock with a rekeyable lock cylinder are provided. The lock cylinder includes a cylindrical core formed to receive a key and an outer casing formed around the core. A keying opening is formed within the casing wall, the keying opening allowing access to pin openings formed within the core to receive selected pins. In one embodiment, the cylinder core may be provided with one or more reconfiguration channels. Pins and springs mounted in openings formed in a spring holder connected to the casing can be removed through the one or more reconfiguration channels when the reconfiguration channels in the core align with assembly openings in the casing and the pin openings in the spring holder, thereby allowing the adaptation of the number of pins mounted in the lock cylinder to the number of cuts provided in the key. In another embodiment, an access opening may be formed in the spring holder, and a pin may be removed from or inserted into the associated pin opening through the access opening without removing the cylindrical core. The advantages of the assembly opening and the reconfiguration channels include a greater flexibility and less time consumption in re-keying. | 01-17-2013 |
20140311196 | PADLOCK - A padlock for securing a switch of an industrial plant comprises a lock body and a hoop which is displaceably held at the lock body, wherein the lock body has a lock housing composed of plastic, a lock cylinder having a rotatable cylinder core, and a rotatable latching member, wherein the cylinder core and the latching member are rotationally fixedly coupled to one another by means of a coupling element and wherein the latching member is rotatable from a release position into a latching position to lock the hoop at the lock body. The padlock is characterized in that the coupling element has at least one first bearing section, one second bearing section and therebetween a shaft section between the latching member and the lock cylinder, said shaft section connecting the first bearing section to the second bearing section and having a smaller diameter than the two bearing sections. | 10-23-2014 |
