Definitions
- the invention relates to a flat key, as well as a locking system and a method for producing a flat key.
- Locking cylinders have a stator that can be attached to a lock in a non-rotatable manner (sometimes called a “cylinder housing”) and a rotor that can be rotated about the axis of the locking cylinder when a suitable key is inserted (sometimes called a “cylinder core”). By rotating the rotor, output means are moved, which are used to actuate a bolt or other means related to the desired function of the locking cylinder.
- the profile pin is overall longer than the pin hole. Rotating the rotor in the stator is therefore only possible if the profile pin can be pressed so far into a corresponding coding groove or other coding hole in the key that it no longer protrudes from the pin hole on the radial outside.
- the profile pin has a corresponding, for example rounded, shape at the radially outer end.
- profile pins are the profile wobble pins or pendulum pins. These are also movably mounted in a pin hole. However, they are in two parts with a radially inner part and a radially outer part, with a spring between the radially inner part and the radially outer part pressing the two parts apart and against an inner or outer stop, so that they take up the entire length available to them. Depending on the total length of the profile wobble pin (i.e. depending on how far the two parts are pushed apart), the radially outer part is guided relative to the radially inner part because corresponding parts of the two parts engage with one another or not.
- the profile wobble pin can only be pressed radially inwards as a whole if the parts are guided relative to one another. If this is not the case, the outer part tilts away when turning and can no longer enter the pin hole and thus blocks the rotor.
- the key shaft when viewed perpendicular to the key axis, has a profile that deviates from a rectangular cross-section, for example due to the presence of axially extending grooves or ribs.
- the key channel of the lock cylinder then has a corresponding profile, at least in sections, so that keys that do not fit cannot be inserted at all.
- the font AT 368 795 B (Ewa works ) shows, among other things, a key with so-called chamfer cuts, which can be arranged on one edge of the key, among other things. These bevel incisions interact with balls of the locking cylinder to create a type of coding.
- the invention relates to a flat key with a key blade and a key shaft extending along a key axis from the key blade to a front key tip with two mutually parallel flat sides and two opposing narrow sides, with an edge parallel to the key axis running between the flat sides and the narrow sides.
- a row of coding holes parallel to the key axis is formed on at least one of the flat sides.
- at least one coding recess is present in at least one of the edges.
- the Coding recess forms a flank that extends from the flat side to the narrow side and which has a monotonous slope.
- the coding recess comprises a first, flat or truncated cone-like surface section, which merges forwards and backwards into a second and third surface section, each of which is designed like a truncated cone section.
- Coding hole refers to a recess in the key, the dimension of which is chosen based on a desired coding. Coding holes can be created by drilling; But corresponding depressions made using other methods are also referred to here as “coding holes”.
- the procedure according to the invention has the advantage that the positioning on the edge creates an additional position for the coding compared to conventional flat keys.
- the coding recess is less well defined and less easy to copy for the unauthorized key copier.
- the position of the row of holes on the flat side (y position) is precisely defined.
- the copying machine scans the hole depth as a function of the position along the key axis (x position). This is a standard procedure and easy for the unauthorized key copier.
- a key copier must either find a process that accurately records and copies the 3D shape in the area of the coding recess, or he must know information about the manufacturing process, namely the tool and its position and path.
- the coding recess can in particular extend over a certain axial length, i.e. have an extent in the axial direction that is larger than that of an average coding hole.
- This can be expressed in the fact that a first transition between the coding recess and the flat side (i.e. a transition that is arranged between the coding recess and the flat side; such a transition can in particular be an edge that forms this transition) forms a (first) section which extends essentially parallel to the key axis..
- a second transition between the coding recess and the narrow side i.e.
- a transition that is arranged between the coding recess and the flat side; in particular an edge that forms this transition can have a (first) section which extends essentially parallel to the key axis.
- the latter property can be expressed in the fact that the area where the coding recess has the greatest depth (extension perpendicular to the flat side) is expanded in the axial direction, i.e. forms an area of constant depth.
- the said first section of the first transition, which is essentially parallel to the key axis, and the first section of the second transition, which is essentially parallel to the key axis can be essentially the same length, i.e. they can be at least 80% or at least 90% or at least 95 %, for example even at least 98% match in length.
- the said first section of the first transition, which is essentially parallel to the key axis, and the first section of the second transition, which is essentially parallel to the key axis, can be located at essentially the same axial distance from the key tip, that is, their axial positions can be essentially to match.
- the first transition can merge into the edge in a continuous curve or at a flat angle - with the continuous curve or the flat angle being on the flat side (i.e. the first transition runs in particular in a line in the plane defined by the flat side and merges into the edge at this level).
- the second transition i.e. the transition between the coding recess and the narrow side
- the second transition can merge into the edge at a flat angle or in a continuous curve, with the flat angle or the continuous curve being on the narrow side (i.e. the second
- the transition runs in a line in the plane defined by the narrow side and merges into the edge in this plane).
- the flank can form an inclined, step-free surface from the flat side to the narrow side, i.e. the slope can be strictly monotonic in the mathematical sense.
- This group of embodiments has the particular advantage that an unauthorized copier does not have any stop at his disposal that would enable him to scan the dimensions of the coding hole.
- the coding recess has a (for example small) flat section toward the narrow side, that is, approximately parallel to the flat side or at least less sloping than the rest of the flank ("bottom") - then the slope does not have to be strictly monotonous be.
- the slope does not have to be strictly monotonous be.
- there is no undercut neither in the direction perpendicular to the key axis and parallel to the flat side (y-direction) nor in the direction perpendicular to the key axis and perpendicular to the flat side (z-direction).
- the at least one coding recess can be formed by a milling on the edge.
- the coding recess can be produced by a removal tool (drilling and/or milling tool) which rotates about a tool axis perpendicular to the flat side.
- a removal tool drilling and/or milling tool
- the coding recess can be produced in the same operation and possibly with the same tool as the coding holes on the flat side. The key does not need to be changed between creating the coding holes and creating the coding recess(s).
- the present invention also relates to a locking system with a flat key of the type described and a lock cylinder.
- a device has, in a manner known per se, a stator and a rotor with a key channel.
- the rotor can be rotated in the stator when the shaft of a suitable key is inserted into the key channel.
- the lock cylinder has a pin whose position is such that its radially inner end engages in the coding recess when the flat key is inserted (or hits the key where the coding recess would be if it were present if the key is coded in such a way that it does not have the coding recess).
- the pen therefore scans the coding recess.
- Depending on the coding it gives a rotation of the rotor in the stator is free or not depending on the presence and dimensioning of the coding recess.
- the pin can be, for example, a profile pin, a tumbler of a spring-loaded tumbler-counter-tumbler pair or a profile wobble pin.
- the pin is mounted in the rotor so as to be displaceable along a pin axis.
- the pin (or its pin axis) can be at an angle to the key that is different from a perpendicular to the flat side and, for example, also from a normal to the flank. In this way, it can be ensured that the pin does not hit the surface of the key it scans centrally (the edge formed by the coding recess), but rather acentrically.
- the shape of the radially inner end of the pin in addition to the coding recess and its dimensions, also affects the position of the pin.
- the pin axis can in particular be at an angle of at least 5°, for example at least 10°, to the normal to the flank.
- the invention also relates to a method for producing a flat key of the type described in this text.
- the coding holes are created on a key blank with the key blade and the key shaft using a tool in a removal process.
- the at least one coding recess is also created with an abrasive tool. This happens in particular with a tool that rotates about an axis perpendicular to the flat side, ie the process takes place from the flat side, with the manufacturing technology advantage discussed above.
- the method is carried out in particular in such a way that the coding recess is extended in the direction of the key axis, i.e. the tool is moved relative to the key shaft during the (milling) process, for example, at least in a direction parallel to the key axis (x direction), wherein the tool can be moved along a three-dimensional path to create a recess with parts tapering to the front and back.
- the tool can only be moved during the process in the direction perpendicular to the flat side (z direction) and can be positioned several times in succession in immediately adjacent axial positions (x positions).
- the tool attacks the side of the key shaft, in the sense that the tool axis is always guided next to the key shaft throughout the entire removal process, i.e. the (extended) tool axis does not penetrate the key shaft but is not attached to it Timing closer to the key axis than the narrow side.
- orientation terms “radial”, “radial-inner”, “axial”, etc. generally refer, unless otherwise stated, to the key axis, which also corresponds to the lock cylinder axis in the locking system when the key is inserted. “Front” refers to the position towards the tip of the key, and “back” is the position towards the edge of the key.
- Figure 1 shows an example of a key 1 with a key blade 11 and a key shaft 12.
- the key 1 is a flat key in which the key shaft is essentially non-square rectangular in cross section perpendicular to a key axis 10, which means that it has two mutually parallel flat sides 21 and two narrow sides 22 smaller area than the flat sides 21 are defined. An edge 25 is formed between the flat sides 21 and the narrow sides 22.
- Figure 1 also shows the Cartesian coordinate system used in this text, with the x-direction running parallel to the key axis and the z-direction perpendicular to the flat sides 21.
- coding holes 31 running parallel to the key axis 10.
- the key in the embodiment shown also has a profiling in the form of grooves 32 running parallel to the key axis.
- a profiling in the form of grooves 32 running parallel to the key axis For example, basic profile grooves (which are always the same in the locking system and only exclude keys from other locking systems) and/or variation profile grooves (which form a coding) can be present.
- the key shown is a reversible key, i.e. the key shaft is symmetrical with respect to a rotation of 180° around the key axis 10, and the codings on the front and rear flat sides 21 are correspondingly identical.
- the key can also have a different number of rows of coding holes on the flat sides, for example 1, 3, 4, 5 or 6, instead of or in addition to the profiling, and / or it can also have coding holes on the narrow sides 22 have.
- the key Towards the key tip 23, the key has an inlet ramp 24 that slopes obliquely forward, which enables the locking cylinder to have pins (e.g. tumblers) that scan the coding holes and which protrude further into the key channel than to the central plane, so that the coding holes potentially can have a depth greater than half the thickness of the key. This has a positive effect on the number of possible permutations.
- pins e.g. tumblers
- the transition 41 between the coding recess and the flat side 21 as well as the transition 42 between the coding recess and the narrow side 22 each have a substantially straight section 201 or 202 in the middle that extends parallel to the key axis, i.e. the coding recess 35 is in relation to the x- Direction elongated.
- the coding recess extends to the front and back.
- the coding recess is also symmetrical with respect to a central plane perpendicular to the key axis 10.
- the flank 43 is essentially flat in the area between the straight sections 201 and 202 extending parallel to the key axis.
- a flat first section 206 has a substantially constant extension along the depth in the x direction, that is, it can be delimited by two approximately parallel straight lines 203, 204. These straight lines can adjoin the first transition 41 at right angles at the ends of the first section 201 of the first transition 41, in particular in a projection onto the flat side 21.
- the flat section 206 merges in the axial directions into a second and third section 207, 208, which is in the shape of a truncated cone section (in the example shown with a truncated cone tip towards the narrow side 22).
- the second and third sections merge into a curved end 211, 212 of the coding recess 35 via a flatter surface section 209, 210.
- a property of coding recesses 35 of the type described here is that they can be produced by a removal (in particular cutting) process from a flat side (or possibly a narrow side) using a rotating tool (drill, milling machine). It is therefore possible to produce the coding recesses 35, even though they are on the edge 25 and neither in the flat side nor in the narrow side, in the same operation and, for example, with the same tool as the coding holes 31.
- Figure 3 illustrated which shows the key 1 clamped between two symbolically represented clamping jaws 51.
- a drilling and/or milling tool 52 which rotates about a tool axis 53 perpendicular to the flat sides, can produce the coding recesses by removing them. Therefore, the key does not have to be changed between attaching the coding holes 31 and attaching the coding recess(s).
- the tool axis 53 can be as in Fig. 3 shown lying laterally next to the key shaft, ie it is offset outwards in the y direction with respect to the corresponding narrow side 22, in the direction away from the key axis.
- the coding recess is essentially milled, which has the advantages described in this text.
- Creating a coding recess as in Fig. 1 and 2 shown is effected by moving the drilling and/or milling tool rotating about its tool axis from above and/or laterally to the key until an initial recess of sufficient depth is created, and then relative to the key shaft in the x direction or -x -Direction and, for example, also in the y-direction is moved until the coding recess has its final size.
- Figures 4 and 5 show an alternative key 1, which is different from the one from Fig. 1 and 2 distinguished by the shape of the coding recesses 35.
- the coding recesses 35 each have a small flat section 45 (“bottom”; see also) towards the narrow side 22, ie approximately parallel to the flat side Figure 9 , which shows one of the coding recesses enlarged).
- the coding recesses 35 are in contrast to the embodiment Figures 1 and 2 concave towards the front and rear, ie the frustoconical section-shaped second and third sections 207, 208 each extend to the front and rear ends of the recess.
- the intermediate first section 206 is in contrast to the embodiment Figures 1,2 and 8th not completely flat, but only approximately flat. Accordingly, the middle section 201 of the first transition 41 is only approximately parallel to the key axis. Strictly speaking, the middle section 206, like the second and third sections 207, 208, is in the shape of a truncated cone, but can be viewed as approximately flat due to its small extent in the x direction.
- the coding recess is shown when the distance between the drilling and/or milling tool when creating the coding recess has a fixed y-position in relation to the key shank and makes a drilling movement (from above) several times at slightly different x-positions or after a Approaching from above is shifted in the x direction, with the y position fixed.
- the creation takes place by moving a drilling and/or milling tool three times to correspondingly different x positions with an identical y position, to create the second section 207, the first section (middle section) 206 and the third section 208.
- the recess is open to the outside in relation to the key axis and not inwards, ie a tangential plane to the surface delimiting the coding recess at these points points radially outwards in relation to the key axis or is at most parallel to the key axis, but it does not point radially inwards. Accordingly, a tangent 221 ( Fig.
- the coding recess is not limited to the outside, which is why it is not possible for an unauthorized key copier, at least not without great effort, to determine at which y position the tool axis was, i.e. the coding recess was created.
- Fig. 5 The depth t of the recess (extent in the z direction, ie perpendicular to the flat side) is also shown, which is approximately constant over an area b extending in the x direction, just like in Fig. 2 the case is.
- Figures 6 and 7 show, in addition to the key, a lock cylinder 101.
- the lock cylinder 101 has, in a manner known per se, a stator 103 and a rotor 104 mounted therein.
- a key channel for inserting a flat key, for example a reversible key, is formed on the rotor 104. If the key is appropriately coded, the rotor 104 can be rotated relative to the stator 103 (around a lock cylinder axis parallel to the key axis).
- the output unit which is not essential to the invention here and with which a bolt or other element is driven by the rotational movement of the rotor, is in Fig. 6 only partially shown.
- a lock cylinder 100 with the key 1 in Fig. 1/2 or 4/5 illustrated type have at least one pin 111 which is mounted radially displaceably in the rotor 103 of the locking cylinder and which scans the coding recess.
- the pin 111 is a profile pin (locking pin), which blocks rotation of the rotor 103 of the locking cylinder relative to its stator 104 if the coding recess is not present or is not in the right place or is not sufficiently large or sufficiently wide.
- the principle of the invention can also be applied to other pins, for example tumblers of spring-loaded tumbler-counter-tumbler pairs or profile wobble pins, which also block if the coding recess is too deep, for example (or can block if a coding recess is present where no such coding recess should be present).
- a special feature of the locking system can be that the pin 111 is at an angle to the key 1, which is both different from a perpendicular to the flat side 21 and different from a normal to the flank 43.
- the angle ⁇ between the pin axis 121 and the flat side 21 is approximately 25°, while the normal to the flank 43 is at an angle of approximately 45° to it. In this way, the result is that the pin 111 does not hit the surface of the key 1 that it scans centrally, but rather acentrically.
- two coding recesses of the same axial length are shown.
- the invention is suitable for coding through a suitable choice of the number of coding recesses and of their dimensions.
- the length (extension in the x direction) and/or the depth (extension in the y and z directions) can be varied Circumstances, when using different tools, also the flank angle - even if in many embodiments it is preferred that the flank angle is always the same.
- each edge 25 corresponds to that of the edge that is diametrically opposite.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Flachschlüssel, sowie ein Schliesssystem und ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Flachschlüssels.The invention relates to a flat key, as well as a locking system and a method for producing a flat key.
Schliesszylinder weisen einen an einem Schloss nicht-drehbar befestigbaren Stator (manchmal auch "Zylindergehäuse" genannt) und einen bei Einführung eines passenden Schlüssels um die Achse des Schliesszylinders drehbaren Rotor (manchmal als "Zylinderkern" bezeichnet) auf. Durch das Drehen des Rotors werden Abtriebsmittel bewegt, die zur Betätigung eines Riegels oder anderer mit der gewünschten Funktion des Schliesszylinders zusammenhängender Mittel dienen.Locking cylinders have a stator that can be attached to a lock in a non-rotatable manner (sometimes called a “cylinder housing”) and a rotor that can be rotated about the axis of the locking cylinder when a suitable key is inserted (sometimes called a “cylinder core”). By rotating the rotor, output means are moved, which are used to actuate a bolt or other means related to the desired function of the locking cylinder.
Viele mechanische Schliesszylinder für Wende-Flachschlüssel oder auch für andere Flachschlüssel weisen Zuhaltung-Gegenzuhaltung-Paare auf, welche die mechanische Codierung der Schlüssel abfragen. Die mechanischen Codierungen sind als Bohrungen mit je nach Codierung unterschiedlicher Tiefe auf der Flachseite des Schlüssels ausgebildet. Die Anzahl von möglichen Zuhaltung-Längen bestimmt zusammen mit der Anzahl von Bohrungen die Anzahl möglicher Permutationen, die möglichst gross ein soll. Weiter sind auch sogenannte Profilstifte oder Sperrstifte bekannt. Solche Profilstifte sind verschiebbar in Stiftbohrungen gelagert, welche radial-innenseitig in den Schlüsselkanal münden und radial-aussenseitig bis an die Oberfläche des Rotors reichen. Ausserdem weist der Stator pro Stiftbohrung eine radial-innenseitige Ausnehmung auf, welche im Grundzustand mit der Stiftbohrung fluchtet. Der Profilstift ist insgesamt länger als die Stiftbohrung. Ein Drehen des Rotors im Stator ist daher nur möglich, wenn der Profilstift so weit in eine entsprechende Codierungsnut oder andere Codierungsbohrung im Schlüssel gedrückt werden kann, dass er radial-aussenseitig nicht mehr aus der Stiftbohrung herausragt. Zu diesem Zweck weist der Profilstift am radial-äusseren Ende eine entsprechende bspw. gerundete Form auf.Many mechanical locking cylinders for reversible flat keys or other flat keys have tumbler-counter-tumbler pairs that query the mechanical coding of the keys. The mechanical codings are designed as holes with different depths depending on the coding on the flat side of the key. The number of possible locking lengths, together with the number of holes, determines the number of possible permutations, which should be as large as possible. So-called profile pins or locking pins are also known. Such profile pins are slidably mounted in pin bores, which open into the key channel on the radial inside and extend to the surface of the rotor on the radial outside. In addition, the stator has a radially inner recess per pin hole, which in the basic state is aligned with the pin hole. The profile pin is overall longer than the pin hole. Rotating the rotor in the stator is therefore only possible if the profile pin can be pressed so far into a corresponding coding groove or other coding hole in the key that it no longer protrudes from the pin hole on the radial outside. For this purpose, the profile pin has a corresponding, for example rounded, shape at the radially outer end.
Eine Weiterentwicklung der Profilstifte sind die Profiltaumelstifte oder Pendelstifte. Diese sind ebenfalls in einer Stiftbohrung bewegbar gelagert. Sie sind jedoch zweiteilig mit einem radial-inneren Teil und einem radial-äusseren Teil, wobei eine Feder zwischen dem radial-inneren Teil und dem radial-äusseren Teil die beiden Teile auseinander und an einen inneren bzw. äusseren Anschlag drückt, so dass sie die ihnen zur Verfügung stehende Länge jeweils ganz einnehmen. Je nach Gesamtlänge des Profiltaumelstifts (d.h. je nachdem wie weit die beiden Teile auseinandergedrückt sind) ist der radial-äussere Teil relativ zum radial-inneren Teil geführt, weil entsprechende Partien der beiden Teile ineinander eingreifen, oder nicht. Beim Wegdrehen des Rotors im Stator kann der Profiltaumelstift nur dann als ganzer nach radial-innen gedrückt werden, wenn die Teile relativ zueinander geführt sind. Wenn das nicht der Fall ist, kippt das äussere Teil beim Abdrehen weg, kann nicht mehr in die Stiftbohrung eintauchen und blockiert so den Rotor.A further development of the profile pins are the profile wobble pins or pendulum pins. These are also movably mounted in a pin hole. However, they are in two parts with a radially inner part and a radially outer part, with a spring between the radially inner part and the radially outer part pressing the two parts apart and against an inner or outer stop, so that they take up the entire length available to them. Depending on the total length of the profile wobble pin (i.e. depending on how far the two parts are pushed apart), the radially outer part is guided relative to the radially inner part because corresponding parts of the two parts engage with one another or not. When the rotor in the stator is turned away, the profile wobble pin can only be pressed radially inwards as a whole if the parts are guided relative to one another. If this is not the case, the outer part tilts away when turning and can no longer enter the pin hole and thus blocks the rotor.
Ein weiteres mögliches Sicherheitsmerkmal von Schliesssystemen besteht in einer Profilierung: der Schlüsselschaft weist im Schnitte senkrecht zur Schlüsselachse ein von einem rechteckigen Querschnitt abweichendes Profil auf, bspw. durch das Vorhandensein axial verlaufender Rillen bzw. Rippen. Der Schlüsselkanal des Schliesszylinders besitzt dann mindestens abschnittweise ein entsprechendes Profil, so dass nicht passende Schlüssel gar nicht eingesteckt werden können.Another possible security feature of locking systems is profiling: when viewed perpendicular to the key axis, the key shaft has a profile that deviates from a rectangular cross-section, for example due to the presence of axially extending grooves or ribs. The key channel of the lock cylinder then has a corresponding profile, at least in sections, so that keys that do not fit cannot be inserted at all.
All diese Codierungen mechanischer Schliesssysteme haben erstens gemeinsam, dass der vorhandene Platz auf dem Schlüssel die Anzahl möglicher Codierungen durch Permutationen limitiert - d.h. für sichere und auch variable Schliesssysteme (bspw. für «Master-Key-Systeme» (MKS) - ist es günstig, wenn man möglichst viele Codierungspositionen zur Verfügung hat. Zweitens haben diese Codierungen gemeinsam, dass ein Kopieren durch mechanische Geräte, welche einen bestehenden passenden Schlüssel abtasten, um bspw. Codierungsbohrungen oder auch Rillen in einen Rohling zu bohren bzw. fräsen, relativ einfach ist. Abhilfe durch raffinierte Massnahmen am Schlüssel, bspw. bewegliche Teile, oder eine zusätzliche elektronische Codierung, ist zwar möglich, aber auch sehr aufwändig.All of these codings for mechanical locking systems have in common that the available space on the key limits the number of possible codings through permutations - i.e. for secure and variable locking systems (e.g. for "master key systems" (MKS) - it is favorable, if you have as many coding positions available as possible. Secondly, these codings have in common that copying is relatively easy using mechanical devices that scan an existing matching key in order to drill or mill coding holes or grooves in a blank, for example. Remedy through sophisticated measures on the key, for example moving parts, or additional electronic coding, is possible, but also very complex.
Die Schrift
Es ist eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Schliesssystem, aufweisend einen entsprechenden Zylinder und Schlüssel, und einen entsprechenden Schlüssel zu schaffen, welche Nachteile des Standes der Technik überwinden und welche insbesondere einen guten Schutz vor unbefugtem Schlüsselkopieren mit einer rationellen Herstellbarkeit verbinden. Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch die Erfindung wie sie in den Patentansprüchen definiert ist.It is an object of the present invention to create a locking system, having a corresponding cylinder and key, and a corresponding key, which overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and which in particular combine good protection against unauthorized key copying with efficient manufacturability. This object is achieved by the invention as defined in the patent claims.
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Flachschlüssel mit Schlüsselreide und einem sich entlang einer Schlüsselachse von der Schlüsselreide bis zu einer vorderseitigen Schlüsselspitze erstreckenden Schlüsselschaft mit zwei zueinander parallelen Flachseiten sowie zwei einander gegenüberliegende Schmalseiten, wobei zwischen den Flachseiten und den Schmalseiten je eine zur Schlüsselachse parallele Kante verläuft. Wie an sich bekannt ist an mindestens einer der Flachseiten eine zur Schlüsselachse parallele Reihe von Codierungsbohrungen ausgebildet. Zusätzlich ist mindestens eine Codierungsausnehmung in mindestens einer der Kanten vorhanden. Die Codierungsausnehmung bildet eine Flanke, die sich von der Flachseite zur Schmalseite hin erstreckt und welche eine monotone Steigung hat. Die Codierungsausnehmung umfasst einen ersten, ebenen oder kegelstumpfabschnittsartigen Flächenabschnitt, der nach vorne und nach hinten in einen zweiten und dritten Flächenabschnitt, der jeweils kegelstumpfabschnittsartig ausgebildet ist, übergeht.The invention relates to a flat key with a key blade and a key shaft extending along a key axis from the key blade to a front key tip with two mutually parallel flat sides and two opposing narrow sides, with an edge parallel to the key axis running between the flat sides and the narrow sides. As is known per se, a row of coding holes parallel to the key axis is formed on at least one of the flat sides. In addition, at least one coding recess is present in at least one of the edges. The Coding recess forms a flank that extends from the flat side to the narrow side and which has a monotonous slope. The coding recess comprises a first, flat or truncated cone-like surface section, which merges forwards and backwards into a second and third surface section, each of which is designed like a truncated cone section.
In diesem Text bezeichnet «Codierungsbohrung» eine Vertiefung im Schlüssel, welche deren Dimension aufgrund einer gewünschten Codierung gewählt ist. Codierungsbohrungen können durch Bohren erzeugt werden; aber auch mit anderen Verfahren hergestellte entsprechende Vertiefungen werden hier als «Codierungsbohrung» bezeichnet.In this text, “coding hole” refers to a recess in the key, the dimension of which is chosen based on a desired coding. Coding holes can be created by drilling; But corresponding depressions made using other methods are also referred to here as “coding holes”.
Das erfindungsgemässe Vorgehen hat erstens den Vorteil, dass durch die Positionierung auf der Kante im Vergleich zu konventionellen Flachschlüsseln eine zusätzliche Position für die Codierung entsteht.Firstly, the procedure according to the invention has the advantage that the positioning on the edge creates an additional position for the coding compared to conventional flat keys.
Zweitens besteht folgender Vorteil: Im Unterschied zu einer Codierungsbohrung in einer Reihe von Codierungsbohrungen ist für den unbefugten Schlüsselkopierer die Codierungsausnehmung weniger gut definiert und weniger gut kopierbar. Bei einer in einer Reihe angeordneten Codierungsbohrung ist die Position der Bohrungsreihe auf der Flachseite (y-Position) genau definiert. Für ein Kopieren wird nur ein Bohrwerkzeug mit ungefähr passendem Durchmesser benötigt, und die Kopiermaschine tastet die Bohrungstiefe in Funktion der Position entlang der Schlüsselachse (x-Position ab). Das ist ein Standardverfahren und für den unbefugter Schlüsselkopierer einfach. Im Gegensatz dazu ist bei einer zur Schmalseite hin abfallenden Flanke/Rampe weder die y-Position noch eine Bohrungstiefe einfach auslesbar. Ein Schlüsselkopierer muss entweder ein Verfahren finden, welches die 3D-Form im Bereich der Codierungsausnehmung genau erfasst und kopiert, oder er muss Angaben zum Herstellungsverfahren, namentlich zum Werkzeug und dessen Position und Bahn, kennen.Secondly, there is the following advantage: In contrast to a coding hole in a series of coding holes, the coding recess is less well defined and less easy to copy for the unauthorized key copier. With a coding hole arranged in a row, the position of the row of holes on the flat side (y position) is precisely defined. For copying, only a drilling tool with an approximately matching diameter is required, and the copying machine scans the hole depth as a function of the position along the key axis (x position). This is a standard procedure and easy for the unauthorized key copier. In contrast, with an edge/ramp sloping towards the narrow side, neither the y position nor a hole depth can be easily read. A key copier must either find a process that accurately records and copies the 3D shape in the area of the coding recess, or he must know information about the manufacturing process, namely the tool and its position and path.
Die Codierungsausnehmung kann sich insbesondere über eine gewisse axiale Länge erstrecken, d.h. eine Ausdehnung in axialer Richtung haben, die grösser ist als die einer durchschnittlichen Codierungsbohrung. Das kann sich darin äussern, dass ein erster Übergang zwischen der Codierungsausnehmung und der Flachseite (d.h. ein Übergang, der zwischen der Codierungsausnehmung und der Flachseite angeordnet ist; ein solcher Übergang kann insbesondere eine Kante sein, die diesen Übergang bildet) einen (ersten) Abschnitt aufweist, der sich im Wesentlichen parallel zur Schlüsselachse erstreckt.. Ergänzend oder alternativ kann ein zweiter Übergang zwischen der Codierungsausnehmung und der Schmalseite (d.h. ein Übergang, der zwischen der Codierungsausnehmung und der Flachseite angeordnet ist; insbesondere eine Kante, die diesen Übergang bildet) einen (ersten) Abschnitt aufweisen, der sich im Wesentlichen parallel zur Schlüsselachse erstreckt. Letztere Eigenschaft kann sich darin äussern, dass der Bereich, an dem die Codierungsausnehmung die grösste Tiefe (Ausdehnung senkrecht zur Flachseite) aufweist, in axialer Richtung ausgedehnt ist, also einen Bereich konstanter Tiefe bildet.The coding recess can in particular extend over a certain axial length, i.e. have an extent in the axial direction that is larger than that of an average coding hole. This can be expressed in the fact that a first transition between the coding recess and the flat side (i.e. a transition that is arranged between the coding recess and the flat side; such a transition can in particular be an edge that forms this transition) forms a (first) section which extends essentially parallel to the key axis.. Additionally or alternatively, a second transition between the coding recess and the narrow side (i.e. a transition that is arranged between the coding recess and the flat side; in particular an edge that forms this transition) can have a (first) section which extends essentially parallel to the key axis. The latter property can be expressed in the fact that the area where the coding recess has the greatest depth (extension perpendicular to the flat side) is expanded in the axial direction, i.e. forms an area of constant depth.
Dabei können ggf. der genannte erste, zur Schlüsselachse im Wesentlichen parallele Abschnitt des ersten Übergangs und der erste, zur Schlüsselachse im Wesentlichen parallele Abschnitt des zweiten Übergangs im Wesentlichen gleich lang sein, d.h. sie können zu mindestens 80% oder mindestens 90% oder mindestens 95%, bspw. sogar zu mindestens 98% in ihrer Länge übereinstimmen.In this case, the said first section of the first transition, which is essentially parallel to the key axis, and the first section of the second transition, which is essentially parallel to the key axis, can be essentially the same length, i.e. they can be at least 80% or at least 90% or at least 95 %, for example even at least 98% match in length.
Ergänzend oder alternativ können sich ggf. der genannte erste, zur Schlüsselachse im Wesentlichen parallele Abschnitt des ersten Übergangs und der erste, zur Schlüsselachse im Wesentlichen parallele Abschnitt des zweiten Übergangs im Wesentlichen im selben axialen Abstand zur Schlüsselspitze befinden, d.h. ihre axialen Positionen können im Wesentlichen übereinstimmen.Additionally or alternatively, the said first section of the first transition, which is essentially parallel to the key axis, and the first section of the second transition, which is essentially parallel to the key axis, can be located at essentially the same axial distance from the key tip, that is, their axial positions can be essentially to match.
Der erste Übergang kann in einer stetigen Kurve oder in einem flachen Winkel in die Kante übergehen - wobei sich die stetige Kurve bzw. der flache Winkel auf der Flachseite befindet (d.h. der erste Übergang verläuft insbesondere in einer Linie in der durch die Flachseite definierten Ebene und geht in dieser Ebene in die Kante über).The first transition can merge into the edge in a continuous curve or at a flat angle - with the continuous curve or the flat angle being on the flat side (i.e. the first transition runs in particular in a line in the plane defined by the flat side and merges into the edge at this level).
Ergänzend oder alternativ kann der zweite Übergang, der d.h. der Übergang zwischen der Codierungsausnehmung und der Schmalseite, in einem flachen Winkel oder in einer stetigen Kurve in die Kante übergehen, wobei sich der flache Winkel oder die stetige Kurve auf der Schmalseite befinden (d.h. der zweite Übergang verläuft insbesondere in einer Linie in der durch die Schmalseite definierten Ebene und geht in dieser Ebene in die Kante über).Additionally or alternatively, the second transition, i.e. the transition between the coding recess and the narrow side, can merge into the edge at a flat angle or in a continuous curve, with the flat angle or the continuous curve being on the narrow side (i.e. the second In particular, the transition runs in a line in the plane defined by the narrow side and merges into the edge in this plane).
Die Flanke kann gemäss einer ersten Gruppe von Ausführungsformen von der Flachseite zur Schmalseite hin eine schräge, absatzfreie Fläche bilden, d.h. die Steigung kann im mathematischen Sinn streng monoton sein. Diese Gruppe von Ausführungsformen hat den besonderen Vorteil, dass einem unbefugten Kopierer keinerlei Anschlag zur Verfügung steht, der ihm ein Abtasten der Dimensionierung der Codierungsbohrung ermöglichen würde.According to a first group of embodiments, the flank can form an inclined, step-free surface from the flat side to the narrow side, i.e. the slope can be strictly monotonic in the mathematical sense. This group of embodiments has the particular advantage that an unauthorized copier does not have any stop at his disposal that would enable him to scan the dimensions of the coding hole.
Gemäss einer zweiten Gruppe von Ausführungsformen weist die Codierungsausnehmung zur Schmalseite hin einen (bspw. kleinen) flachen, d.h. zur Flachseite ungefähr parallelen oder mindestens weniger als der Rest der Flanke abfallenden Flachabschnitt («Boden») auf - dann muss die Steigung also nicht streng monoton sein. Auch in den Ausführungsformen der zweiten Gruppe gibt es jedoch, wie in anderen Ausführungsformen, weder in Richtung senkrecht zur Schlüsselachse und parallel zur Flachseite (y-Richtung) noch in Richtung senkrecht zur Schlüsselachse und senkrecht zur Flachseite (z-Richtung) einen Hinterschnitt.According to a second group of embodiments, the coding recess has a (for example small) flat section toward the narrow side, that is, approximately parallel to the flat side or at least less sloping than the rest of the flank ("bottom") - then the slope does not have to be strictly monotonous be. However, in the embodiments of the second group, as in other embodiments, there is no undercut neither in the direction perpendicular to the key axis and parallel to the flat side (y-direction) nor in the direction perpendicular to the key axis and perpendicular to the flat side (z-direction).
Insbesondere kann die mindestens eine Codierungsausnehmung durch eine Anfräsung an der Kante gebildet sein.In particular, the at least one coding recess can be formed by a milling on the edge.
Beispielsweise kann die Codierungsausnehmung durch ein abtragendes Werkzeug (Bohr- und/oder Fräswerkzeug) herstellbar sein, welches um eine auf die Flachseite senkrechte Werkzeugachse rotiert. Das ergibt einen substantiellen Vorteil in Bezug auf das Herstellungsverfahren: Die Codierungsausnehmung kann im selben Arbeitsgang und unter Umständen mit demselben Werkzeug hergestellt werden wie die Codierungsbohrungen auf der Flachseite. Der Schlüssel muss zwischen dem Erstellen der Codierungsbohrungen und dem Erstellen der Codierungsausnehmung(en) nicht umgespannt werden.For example, the coding recess can be produced by a removal tool (drilling and/or milling tool) which rotates about a tool axis perpendicular to the flat side. This results in a substantial advantage in terms of the manufacturing process: The coding recess can be produced in the same operation and possibly with the same tool as the coding holes on the flat side. The key does not need to be changed between creating the coding holes and creating the coding recess(s).
Durch diese Ausgestaltung der Codierungsausnehmung als durch ein solches von der Flachseite her angreifendes Werkzeug oder ganz allgemein kann eines oder können mehrere der folgenden Merkmale realisiert sein:
- ein Abschluss der Codierungsausnehmung nach vorne und nach hinten hin wird je durch eine mindestens bereichsweise gekrümmte Fläche gebildet. Diese kann bspw. konkav sein, oder auch im Horizontalschnitt (Schnitt in einer Ebene parallel zur Schlüsselachse) s-förmig. Im zweiten Fall kann die Codierungsausnehmung von einem ersten, zentralen mittleren Abschnitt aus nach vorne und nach hinten je über einen kegelstumpfartigen konkaven Flächenabschnitt über einen flacheren Flächenabschnitt und einen konvexen gekrümmten Abschluss auslaufen.
- Ein sich parallel zur Schlüsselachse erstreckender Bereich weist eine konstante Tiefe (Ausdehnung senkrecht zur Flachseite) auf.
- Eine Normale auf mindestens einen Bereich der Flanke ist in einer Ebene, die zur Schlüsselachse senkrecht ist.
- Die Codierungsausnehmung ist spiegelsymmetrisch bezüglich einer auf die Schlüsselachse senkrechten Ebene.
- Die Stelle der Codierungsausnehmung mit der grössten Tiefe (Ausdehnung senkrecht zur Flachseite; z-Ausdehnung) befindet sich in y-Richtung beim Übergang zur Schmalseite.
- Insbesondere an der Stelle der Codierungsausnehmung mit der grössten Tiefe (Ausdehnung senkrecht zur Flachseite) kann die Codierungsausnehmung einen im Wesentlichen ebenen ersten Flächenabschnitt aufweisen, der insbesondere von parallelen Geraden begrenzt sein kann. Der im Wesentlichen ebene erste Flächenabschnitt kann eben sein, indem er durch ein parallel zur Schlüsselachse bewegtes abtragendes Werkzeug hergestellt ist, oder er kann die Form eines Abschnitts eines Kegelstumpfs haben, wobei die Ausdehnung entlang der Schlüsselachse im Vergleich zum Durchmesser des Kegelstumpfs derart gering ist, dass er im Wesentlichen eben wirkt. In diesem zweiten Fall kann die Herstellung durch ein abtragendes Werkzeug erfolgen, dessen Position entlang der Schlüsselachse (nachfolgend: x-Position) während der Herstellung des ersten Abschnitts konstant ist.
- A termination of the coding recess to the front and to the rear is each formed by a surface that is curved at least in some areas. This can be concave, for example, or s-shaped in horizontal section (section in a plane parallel to the key axis). In the second case, the coding recess can extend from a first, central middle section forwards and backwards via a truncated cone-like concave surface section, a flatter surface section and a convex curved end.
- An area that extends parallel to the key axis has a constant depth (extent perpendicular to the flat side).
- A normal to at least one area of the flank is in a plane that is perpendicular to the key axis.
- The coding recess is mirror-symmetrical with respect to a plane perpendicular to the key axis.
- The location of the coding recess with the greatest depth (extension perpendicular to the flat side; z-extension) is located in the y-direction at the transition to the narrow side.
- In particular, at the location of the coding recess with the greatest depth (extension perpendicular to the flat side), the coding recess can have a substantially flat first surface section, which can in particular be delimited by parallel straight lines. The essentially flat first surface section can be flat by being produced by an abrasive tool moved parallel to the key axis, or it can have the shape of a section of a truncated cone, the extent along the key axis being so small compared to the diameter of the truncated cone, that it essentially works. In this second case, production can be carried out using a removal tool whose position along the key axis (hereinafter: x position) is constant during the production of the first section.
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft auch ein Schliesssystem mit einem Flachschlüssel der beschriebenen Art sowie einem Schliesszylinder. Ein solcher weist in an sich bekannter Art einen Stator sowie einen Rotor mit Schlüsselkanal auf. Der Rotor ist im Stator drehbar, wenn der Schaft eines passenden Schlüssels in den Schlüsselkanal eingeschoben ist. Der Schliesszylinder weist eine Stift auf, dessen Position so ist, dass sein radialinneres Ende bei eingeschobenem Flachschlüssel in die Codierungsausnehmung eingreift (bzw. den Schlüssel dort trifft, wo die Codierungsausnehmung wäre, wenn sie vorhanden wäre, falls der Schlüssel so codiert ist, dass er die Codierungsausnehmung nicht aufweist). Der Stift tastet also die Codierungsausnehmung ab. Je nach Codierung gibt er eine Rotation des Rotors im Stator in Abhängigkeit vom Vorhandensein und der Dimensionierung der Codierungsausnehmung frei oder nicht.The present invention also relates to a locking system with a flat key of the type described and a lock cylinder. Such a device has, in a manner known per se, a stator and a rotor with a key channel. The rotor can be rotated in the stator when the shaft of a suitable key is inserted into the key channel. The lock cylinder has a pin whose position is such that its radially inner end engages in the coding recess when the flat key is inserted (or hits the key where the coding recess would be if it were present if the key is coded in such a way that it does not have the coding recess). The pen therefore scans the coding recess. Depending on the coding it gives a rotation of the rotor in the stator is free or not depending on the presence and dimensioning of the coding recess.
Der Stift kann beispielsweise ein Profilstift, eine Zuhaltung eines federbelasteten Zuhaltung-Gegenzuhaltung-Paares oder ein Profiltaumelstift sein.The pin can be, for example, a profile pin, a tumbler of a spring-loaded tumbler-counter-tumbler pair or a profile wobble pin.
Der Stift ist insbesondere wie an sich bekannt entlang einer Stiftachse verschiebbar im Rotor gelagert. Dabei kann der Stift (bzw. dessen Stiftachse) in einem Winkel zum Schlüssel stehen, der von einer Senkrechte auf die Flachseite und bspw. auch von einer Normalen auf die Flanke verschieden ist. Auf diese Weise kann bewirkt werden, dass der Stift nicht zentrisch auf die von ihm abgetastete Fläche des Schlüssels (die Flanke, die durch die Codierungsausnehmung gebildet wird) trifft, sondern azentrisch. Die Form des radial-inneren Endes des Stifts wirkt sich nebst der Codierungsausnehmung und ihrer Dimension ebenfalls auf die Position des Stifts aus. Das erschwert dem unbefugten Schlüsselkopierer die Aufgabe, da es nicht reicht, wenn er wie bei Codierungsbohrungen einen Parameter (die Tiefe der Bohrung) richtig übernimmt - er muss vielmehr die genaue Form der Codierungsausnehmung kopieren, um sicher zu sein, dass der kopierte Schlüssel den Schliesszylinder entriegeln kann. Das kann man im Allgemeinen nicht mit Standardwerkzeugen des Schlüsselkopierers bewerkstelligen.In particular, as is known per se, the pin is mounted in the rotor so as to be displaceable along a pin axis. The pin (or its pin axis) can be at an angle to the key that is different from a perpendicular to the flat side and, for example, also from a normal to the flank. In this way, it can be ensured that the pin does not hit the surface of the key it scans centrally (the edge formed by the coding recess), but rather acentrically. The shape of the radially inner end of the pin, in addition to the coding recess and its dimensions, also affects the position of the pin. This makes the task more difficult for the unauthorized key copier, as it is not enough for him to correctly copy one parameter (the depth of the hole), as is the case with coding holes - rather, he has to copy the exact shape of the coding recess to be sure that the copied key fits the lock cylinder can unlock. This generally cannot be accomplished using standard key cutting tools.
Die Stiftachse kann insbesondere in einem Winkel von mindestens 5°, beispielsweise mindestens 10° zur Normalen auf die Flanke stehen.The pin axis can in particular be at an angle of at least 5°, for example at least 10°, to the normal to the flank.
Ebenfalls Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Flachschlüssels der in diesem Text beschriebenen Art. An einem Schlüsselrohling mit der Schlüsselreide und dem Schlüsselschaft werden mit einem Werkzeug in einem abtragenden Verfahren die Codierungsbohrungen erstellt. Vorher oder nachher oder im selben Arbeitsgang wird ebenfalls mit einem abtragenden Werkzeug die mindestens eine Codierungsausnehmung erstellt. Dies geschieht insbesondere mit einem Werkzeug, das um eine zur Flachseite senkrechte Achse rotiert, d.h. das Verfahren geschieht von der Flachseite her, mit dem vorstehend diskutierten herstellungstechnischen Vorteil.The invention also relates to a method for producing a flat key of the type described in this text. The coding holes are created on a key blank with the key blade and the key shaft using a tool in a removal process. Before or after or in In the same operation, the at least one coding recess is also created with an abrasive tool. This happens in particular with a tool that rotates about an axis perpendicular to the flat side, ie the process takes place from the flat side, with the manufacturing technology advantage discussed above.
Das Verfahren wird insbesondere so durchgeführt, dass die Codierungsausnehmung in Richtung der Schlüsselachse ausgedehnt ist, d.h. das Werkzeug wird bspw. während des (Fräs-)-Verfahrens relativ zum Schlüsselschaft bewegt, und zwar mindestens in Richtung parallel zur Schlüsselachse (x-Richtung), wobei das Werkzeug entlang einer dreidimensionalen Bahn bewegt werden kann um eine Ausnehmung mit nach vorne und hinten auslaufenden Partien zu erzeugen. Alternativ kann das Werkzeug auch während des Verfahrens nur in Richtung senkrecht zur Flachseite (z-Richtung) bewegt werden und dafür mehrmals nacheinander, in unmittelbar nebeneinander liegenden axialen Positionen (x-Positionen) angesetzt werden.The method is carried out in particular in such a way that the coding recess is extended in the direction of the key axis, i.e. the tool is moved relative to the key shaft during the (milling) process, for example, at least in a direction parallel to the key axis (x direction), wherein the tool can be moved along a three-dimensional path to create a recess with parts tapering to the front and back. Alternatively, the tool can only be moved during the process in the direction perpendicular to the flat side (z direction) and can be positioned several times in succession in immediately adjacent axial positions (x positions).
Es kann jeweils vorgesehen sein, dass das Werkzeug seitlich am Schlüsselschaft angreift, in dem Sinn, dass die Werkzeugachse stets, während des ganzen abtragenden Verfahrens, neben dem Schlüsselschaft geführt wird, d.h. die (verlängert gedachte) Werkzeugachse durchdringt den Schlüsselschaft nicht sondern ist zu keinem Zeitpunkt näher an der Schlüsselachse als die Schmalseite.It can be provided in each case that the tool attacks the side of the key shaft, in the sense that the tool axis is always guided next to the key shaft throughout the entire removal process, i.e. the (extended) tool axis does not penetrate the key shaft but is not attached to it Timing closer to the key axis than the narrow side.
In diesem Text beziehen sich die Orientierungsbezeichnungen "radial", "radial-innen", "axial" etc. generell, wenn nichts anderes gelehrt wird, auf die Schlüsselachse, die beim Schliesssystem bei eingeschobenem Schlüssel auch der Schliesszylinder-Achse entspricht. «Vorne» bezeichnet jeweils die Lage zur Schlüsselspitze hin, und «hinten» ist entsprechend eine Lage zur Schlüsselreide hin.In this text, the orientation terms "radial", "radial-inner", "axial", etc. generally refer, unless otherwise stated, to the key axis, which also corresponds to the lock cylinder axis in the locking system when the key is inserted. “Front” refers to the position towards the tip of the key, and “back” is the position towards the edge of the key.

Im Unterschied zur abgebildeten Ausführungsform kann der Schlüssel auch eine andere Anzahl von Reihen von Codierungsbohrungen an den Flachseiten aufweisen, bspw. 1, 3, 4, 5 oder 6, anstelle der Profilierung oder zusätzlich dazu, und/oder er kann auch Codierungsbohrungen an den Schmalseiten 22 aufweisen.In contrast to the illustrated embodiment, the key can also have a different number of rows of coding holes on the flat sides, for example 1, 3, 4, 5 or 6, instead of or in addition to the profiling, and / or it can also have coding holes on the
Zur Schlüsselspitze 23 hin weist der Schlüssel eine schräg nach vorne abfallende Einlauframpe 24 auf, welch es ermöglicht, dass der Schliesszylinder die Codierungsbohrungen abtastende Stifte (bspw. Zuhaltungen) aufweist, die weiter in den Schlüsselkanal hineinragen als bis zur Mittelebene, so dass die Codierungsbohrungen potentiell eine grössere Tiefe aufweisen können als die halbe Dicke des Schlüssels. Dies wirkt sich positiv auf die Anzahl möglicher Permutationen aus.Towards the
Der Stand der Technik kennt nebst Codierungsbohrungen in der Flachseite auch solche in der Schmalseite und gar Bohrungen, welche von einem schrägen Winkel (d.h. weder senkrecht noch parallel zu den Flachseiten) her angebracht wurden.

Es ist also möglich, die Codierungsausnehmungen 35, obwohl sie auf der Kante 25 und also weder in der Flachseite noch in der Schmalseite liegen, im selben Arbeitsgang und bspw. mit demselben Werkzeug zu fertigen wie die Codierungsbohrungen 31.

Eine Besonderheit des Schliesssystems kann sein, dass der Stift 111 in einem Winkel zum Schlüssel 1 steht, der sowohl verschieden von einer Senkrechten auf die Flachseite 21 als auch verschieden von einer Normale auf die Flanke 43 ist. Im gezeichneten Ausführungsbeispiel beträgt der Winkel α zwischen der Stiftachse 121 und der Flachseite 21 etwa 25°, während die Normale auf die Flanke 43 etwa in einem Winkel von ungefähr 45° dazu steht. Auf diese Weise wird bewirkt, dass der Stift 111 nicht zentrisch auf die von ihm abgetastete Fläche des Schlüssels 1 trifft, sondern azentrisch. Die Form des radial-inneren Endes des Stifts 111 wirkt sich daher ebenso auf die radiale (in Bezug auf die Schlüsselachse=Schliesszylinderachse) Position des Stifts 111 in seiner abtastenden Position aus wie die Form der Codierungsausnehmung selbst.A special feature of the locking system can be that the
In den gezeichneten Ausführungsbeispielen eines Schlüssels sind jeweils zwei Codierungsausnehmungen gleiche axialer Länge gezeichnet. Die Erfindung eignet sich für eine Codierung durch geeignete Wahl der Anzahl von Codierungsausnehmungen und von deren Dimensionen. Nebst einer Variation der Anzahl von Codierungsausnehmungen von Schlüssel zu Schlüssel kann - auch zwischen Codierungsausnehmungen ein- und desselben Schlüssels -die Länge (Ausdehnung in x-Richtung) und/oder die Tiefe (Ausdehnung in y- und z-Richtung) variiert werden, unter Umständen, bei Verwendung unterschiedlicher Werkzeuge, auch der Flankenwinkel - auch wenn in vielen Ausführungsformen bevorzugt ist, dass der Flankenwinkel stets derselbe ist.In the illustrated exemplary embodiments of a key, two coding recesses of the same axial length are shown. The invention is suitable for coding through a suitable choice of the number of coding recesses and of their dimensions. In addition to varying the number of coding recesses from key to key - even between coding recesses of the same key - the length (extension in the x direction) and/or the depth (extension in the y and z directions) can be varied Circumstances, when using different tools, also the flank angle - even if in many embodiments it is preferred that the flank angle is always the same.
Der Schlüssel kann insbesondere - dies gilt für alle Ausführungsformen - ein Wendeschlüssel sein. In diesem Fall entspricht die mechanische Codierungen jeder Kante 25 derjenigen der Kante, die diametral gegenüberliegt.The key can in particular - this applies to all embodiments - be a reversible key. In this case, the mechanical coding of each
