Title: Improvements in Cylinder Locks.
Inventor: MARSOVSZKY EMERICH DE
Filed: 1899-09-08
Granted: 1900-09-08
Abstract: 18,191. Marsovszky, E. de. Sept. 8. Locks, key.-Relates to a cylinder lock which is described as applied to railway vans and trucks. The lock is operated by a key the bit of which is in two parts 23 and 25, as shown in Fig. 12. The part 23 is fixed to the key spindle, while the part 25 is capable of rotating and sliding on the spindle when not locked to the part 23 by the spring pins 27. The lock consists mainly of three discs 5, 6, and 3, shown in section in Fig. 20. The disc 5 is fixed ; the disc 6 carries the bolt 35, Fig. 16, the movement of which releases the locking-bar or hook 38 as shown in the back elevation, Fig. 1 ; the disc 3 carries mechanism for releasing the movable key bit 25 from the fixed bit. The disc 6, when in the locked position shown in back elevation in Fig. 16, is secured by spring pins 34 mounted in the fixed disc 5, as shown in section in Fig. 20. To release the disc 6, the holes 28 in the fixed key bit 23 must be engaged with pins 33 in the disc 6. The pins 34 can then be pushed back by means of the key and the bolt disc 6 turned. Before this can be done, however, the movable key bit 25 must be released from the fixed bit 23. To accomplish this, spring pins 1 are mounted radially in a block 2 which projects from the disc 3 into a recess in the disc 6 so that the heads of the pins 1 engage a cam 4 on the fixed disc 5. On turning the key and the disc 3 therewith, the pins 1 are forced up by the cam 4 into the holes 26 in the fixed key bit 25, so as to force back the pins 27 and release the movable bit 25. The movable bit at .this stage comes against an abutment on the disc 6, and is held there by a spring 32. The fixed bit can then be moved on, carrying the disc 3 with it, until the pins 33 are reached, when the part 24 of the bit comes against another abutment on the disc 6. The key is then pushed further in, and the disc 6 released from the disc 5 as stated above. The continued rotation of the key turns the disc 6, and with it the bolt 35. A spring pin, not shown, is provided in the disc 6 for locking it to the disc 5 when in the unlocked position. It is brought into operation by slightly withdrawing the key and turning it backwards. A stop 8, Fig. 20, which secures the register of the keyhole in the disc 3 with the keyhole in the casing, can be slightly altered by the handle 52 so as to make the keyhole in the disc 3 stand askew and prevent the insertion of the key. The fastening-hook 38, Fig. 1, has a tail 39 engaging a forked lever 44, the tail end of which engages a catch plate 42 mounted on the bolt 35. This catch plate allows the hook to be fastened. without operating the lock.
