AI Technical Summary
Cylinder locks with pin rotors are vulnerable to drilling attacks, as the outermost pins and their supporting springs are accessible and can be compromised by intruders, and the orientation of the cylinder lock is unpredictable, making it difficult to provide comprehensive protection.
The cylinder lock design incorporates larger diameter cavities at both ends to house the outermost pins and springs, which are secured by springs that prevent drilling and ensure the pins remain inaccessible, regardless of the lock's outward orientation.
The design effectively prevents drilling attacks by securing the outermost pins and springs, enhancing the lock's security and reliability.

This is done by intruders by drilling a hole in the underside of the lock, thereby destroying either the pins or the springs underneath, with the result that either the pins are no longer able to hold the locking mechanism in the locked position, or that with the destruction of the springs the pins themselves fall from their locked position, so that the lock becomes ineffective. . . 5There have been proposals to make locks burglar-proof. In order to prevent the destruction of the pins, some lock manufacturers have proposed making the first pins facing outwards from the door or drawer from hardened steel that cannot be penetrated by a common drill. In this case, however, the intruder can fi... Always drill a hole in the spring area, destroy the springs and thereby remove the pins from their locking positions. The present invention relates to an improvement to locks of the type indicated above and the object of the invention is to manufacture locks which are acceptably anti-theft, i.e. impenetrable by drilling. , A * , According to the invention, one of the pins, preferably the first one · »····. *·*·* · · · · · the outward facing pin is wrapped together with the spring underneath the etan'f^d», · ....... • · · · · · · a sleeve made of hardened steel or steel alloy that cannot be penetrated by a common drill.

In a practical embodiment of the invention, short slotted pieces of commercially available tubes are used, i.e., hollow pins which in the construction of the machine serve to connect parts through which these hollow pins extend. Although the use of unslotted hollow pins or short pieces of. pipe ι . non-slotted pins fall within the essence of the invention, for reasons that will be made clear below it is preferable to use the aforementioned commercially available hollow pins. 1 ' The invention may be better understood from the following description and with reference to the attached drawings, in which: ν' f ζ.·;· . ΡΗ \ρ,\ / Λ / Figure 1 is a front view of a cylinder lock; Figure 2 is a side elevation of the lock; Figure 3 is a bottom view of the same lock; and Figure 4 is a perspective view of the key pins which are preferable to use. Referring first of all to figure 1, the cylinder is arranged in a body or casing 1 which can be accessed through the lock hole 2. Inside the body or casing there are two overlapping clean knocks 3 and 4, the lower ones being supported on springs. J · · · · which push the aforementioned pins into the locking position.

These two cavities are indicated by the number 7. To secure the outermost pins (pins 4 and the spring 5), a hollow pin 8 is used, as shown in figure 4. These pins are commercially available and are inserted into the large cavity 7 by pressing them together slightly, thereby narrowing their slot lengthwise. When the pressure is released, the slot opens elastically and the hollow pin can fit into the cavity 7 with a light forced fit. At this point, the pin rotors and springs can be inserted into all the holes or cavities in the usual manner. It follows that the outermost pin, including the supporting spring, / θ λ ' / η,-. . / «. Eày ·, 'n ò prophetic against any drilling action and therefore the pins behind the first pin (indicated by the number 7) are not within the reach of a drill used by an intruder. While for many purposes it may be sufficient to protect in this way the outermost pin in correspondence with the end of the cylinder lock facing outwards, in practice the manufacturer of such locks never knows which end of the ·* * ·. cylinder will face outwards, as this is established by the final buyer and by the conditions in the position in which the lock is to be mounted. Therefore, it is preferable to provide the middle. «ìd. ' . · • · · · · J » « · * · ...
