Patent ID: 7647797

Claim:
A programmable electronic lock arranged in a casing with a cover, comprising: a battery; a tongue with two side shafts, which in an opening position of the lock remains inside the casing, and in a closing position of the lock moves linearly and partially exits the casing, wherein the linear movement of the tongue defines a longitudinal tongue axis; an actuating mechanism configured to actuate the tongue, the actuating mechanism located along a guide axis perpendicular to the longitudinal tongue axis: a mobile knob comprising side grooves in which the two side shafts of the tongue are introduced, and a first spring for the recovery of the mobile knob, wherein pressure of the mobile knob generates partial exit of the tongue from the casing and the closing position of the lock, and recovery movement of the mobile knob generates entry of the tongue into the casing and the opening position of the lock; an antenna; an electronics board configured for receiving data emitted by a transponder key through the antenna, the electronics board controlling the operation of the electronic lock and activating and deactivating; and a blocking mechanism of the actuating mechanism, which unblocks the latter allowing the movement of the tongue and the passage of the lock to its opening position, the blocking mechanism being subsequently actuated by the electronics board after the actuating mechanism moves the tongue again to the closing position, thus blocking the actuating mechanism and preventing the movement of the tongue, wherein the blocking mechanism comprises a motor controlled by the electronics board which actuates a punch by means of a gear system, which in a blocking position is located against the actuating mechanism, blocking the latter and preventing the movement of the tongue, and in an unblocking position is separated from the actuating mechanism, unblocking the latter and allowing the movement of the tongue.
