Abstract:
1. A wafer-type tumbler cylinder comprising a sleeve, a cylinder, a plurality of first wafers, a plurality of second wafers, a plurality of springs, and a plurality of U-shaped fixtures, the cylinder being a cylindrical shaft having a plurality of indentations, a plurality of fixing slots and a plurality of riveting plates, wherein each of said indentations is installed with one of said first wafers, one of said springs and one of said second wafers; wherein each of said fixing slots is an interconnected slot between every two of said indentations for the insertion of one of said U-shaped fixtures; wherein the riveting plates and the cylindrical shaft of the cylinder are made in a consistent operation, and the riveting plates are disposed on the outer sides of said indentations; wherein each of said first wafers includes a first wafer tab; each of said second wafers includes a second wafer tab; and each of said U-shaped fixtures is fixed into each of said fixing slots; wherein at first one of said second wafers is placed into one of said indentations of the cylindrical shaft of the cylinder, and then one of said springs and one of said first wafers are placed into the one of said indentations in sequence such that the one of said springs is fixed between said first wafer tab and said second wafer tab, and the riveting plates are pressed into a horizontal position so that each of said first and second wafers and each of said springs are firmly fixed in each of said indentations, and then the U-shaped fixtures are fixed into said fixing slots respectively so that two of said first wafers, two of said second wafers and two of said springs are firmly fixed in every two of said indentations because of the insertion of one U-shaped fixture into one fixing slot, thereby preventing from prying effectively.
