Abstract:
Cylindrical locks and more specifically a set of profile members in combination with a rotatable cylindrical key plug have a longitudinal keyway with a profile corresponding to an associated key. Each profile member is accommodated in an associated cavity in the key plug at a lateral side of the keyway so as to form a lateral part thereof. The profile members have a non-circular cross-section and are non-rotatably mounted in the associated cavities at a location adjacent to the keyway. A portion of each profile member has a profiled surface portion facing inwards toward the opposite lateral side of the keyway, the profiled surface portion having, in a plane being transversal to a longitudinal axis of the key plug, a specific profile section defining a local, lateral part of the keyway. An associated key, and a method to manufacture a cylindrical key plug with such profile members are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 44):
A method of manufacturing a cylindrical key plug having a profiled longitudinal keyway adapted to cooperate with an associated key, wherein\n the key plug is machined to form a longitudinal slot with a uniform cross-sectional profile, a number of cavities are made in the key plug on at least one lateral side of the longitudinal slot, each cavity being formed by a first part, located at a lateral distance from the keyway, and a second part, which communicates with said first part and is extended laterally sideways so as to communicate with the keyway, said first and second parts communicating via a narrowed part, which is narrower that said first and second parts, a set of profile members are inserted into said cavities, each profile member having a non-circular cross-section, including a first portion corresponding to said first part of the cavity, a second portion corresponding to said second part of the cavity, and a neck portion corresponding to said narrowed part of the cavity, said non-circular cross-section of each profile member being circumscribed by the cross-section of an associated cavity, and each of said profile members being non-rotatably fitted in a respective cavity at a stationary location adjacent to said key slot so as to form a lateral part thereof, with a profiled surface portion on said second portion of the profile member fac-ing inwards toward the opposite lateral side of the key slot, said profiled surface portion having, in a plane being transversal to a longitudinal axis of said key plug, a specific profile section defining a local, lateral part of said profiled longitudinal keyway, wherein said first portion and said neck portion of each profile member occupy substantially the whole cross-section of said first part and said narrowed part of the associated cavity.
