Lock body, pin lock and command device
A lock body for a pin lock is of multipart construction and has a main body and a divider, mounted on the main body, with a plurality of bores for receiving springs and locking pins. The mechanical division of the lock body into the main body and the divider allows simpler and more cost-effective production since the lock body no longer needs to be complicatedly machined out of a solid material, for example brass, but rather more cost-effective production methods can be used.
1 . A lock body of a multipart configuration for a pin lock, the lock body comprising:
a main body; and
a divider mounted on said main body, said divider having a plurality of bores formed therein for receiving springs and locking pins, wherein said divider has at least two rows of said bores, a key withdrawal position of the pin lock being defined by each of said at least two rows of said bores.
2 . The lock body according to in claim 1 , wherein said divider is connected to said main body by being displaced in a longitudinal direction.
3 . The lock body according to claim 1 , wherein said main body and said divider are formed from different materials.
4 . The lock body according to claim 1 , wherein said main body and/or said divider is produced by means of an injection molding method or an additive manufacturing method.
5 . The lock body according to claim 1 , wherein:
said lock body is a tubular lock body; and
said divider is configured as a ring sector of the tubular lock body.
6 . The lock body according to claim 5 , wherein said main body is configured as a ring sector.
7 . The lock body according to claim 1 , further comprising a sleeve which at least partially encloses said main body and said divider.
8 . The lock body according to claim 7 , wherein said sleeve is connected in one piece to said main body.
9 . The lock body according to in claim 7 , wherein said divider is two parts constructed as a ring sector of the of said lock body.
10 . The lock body according to in claim 9 , wherein said bores are through-bores.
11 . The lock body according to in claim 7 , wherein said sleeve has webs and said divider has grooves corresponding to said webs to connect said sleeve to said divider.
12 . A pin lock, comprising:
the lock body according to claim 1 ; and
a lock core received in and mechanically coupled to said lock body.
13 . A command device for a machine or electrical system, the command device comprising:
the pin lock formed according to claim 12 ; and
at least one contact element which is contacted in a predefined angular position of said lock core.
14 . The command device according to claim 13 , wherein the command device is selected from the group consisting of a key switch, a pushbutton switch and a selector switch for the machine or the electrical system.
15 . The lock body according to in claim 1 , wherein said lock body and said main body are concentric.
