Patent ID: 8544303

Claim:
A lock device comprising: a housing ( 2 ) which includes an opening ( 4 ); a core ( 10 ) which is rotatably mounted in the opening ( 4 ) about a longitudinal axis of the core and which includes a key way ( 12 ) for reception of a key; a latching element ( 20 ; 120 ) which co-acts between the housing ( 2 ) and the core ( 10 ) and which is movable between a release position in which the core is rotatable relative to the housing, and a latching position in which rotation of the core relative to the housing is blocked; an electronically controllable actuator ( 30 ; 130 ) which is mounted in the core ( 10 ) and which is movable by means of a motor between an opening-registering position in which movement of the latching element ( 20 ; 120 ) to the release position is permitted, and a latching position in which movement of the latching element to said release position is blocked; wherein the motor ( 40 ; 140 ) is provided in a recess ( 10 a ) in a barrel surface ( 10 b ) of the core at a distance from the end surfaces of the core; a bore ( 10 c ) having a cross-section that essentially correspond to the cross-section of the actuator is arranged as a longitudinal extension of the recess ( 10 a ), which bore extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of the core and in which the actuator ( 30 ) is provided; and wherein the latching element ( 20 ; 120 ) is provided in a slit ( 10 d ) provided between the bore and the barrel surface of the core, wherein the recess opens at one radial side of the barrel surface of the core and the slit opens the bore at the one radial side of the barrel surface such that a mouth of the recess and the slit are arranged axially aligned in the barrel surface.
