Abstract
Abstract An electromechanical lock with coded keyboard programmable by several users. The lock is unlocked electrically by an eccentric, actuated by an electric motor, which acts on a trigger to unlock the device. The eccentric is a disk mounted eccentrically on a shaft of the electric motor. The rotation of the shaft causes the disk to turn, which, under the action of centrifugal force, strikes the trigger so as to free the bolt. A disk of plastic material is fixed concentrically with the axis of the motor, and a second disk of suitable mass is mounted on the first disk in an eccentric manner with respect to the shaft.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
155 words
Electromechanical lock with coded keyboard comprising, on its interior face, a pushbutton (6) which permits programming the secret code of the user for passage and the secret code or codes for service and, on its exterior face (5), a coded keyboard (7), said lock comprising in addition to buttons corresponding to the normal buttons of a keyboard (7) at least specific button (20, 21) controlled to open the door (3) after having composed the program and/or for programming secret codes for service the electric unlocking of the lock using means (17) making use of an eccentric, actuated by an electric motor (16), which acts on a trigger (18) for unlocking, and the eccentric (17) is a disk mounted eccentrically on the shaft (15) of the electric motor (16); the rotation of the said shaft (15) causing the disk to turn, which, under the action of centrifugal force, strikes the trigger (18) to free a bolt.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
155 words
Electromechanical lock with coded keyboard comprising, on its interior face, a pushbutton (6) which permits programming the secret code of the user for passage and the secret code or codes for service and, on its exterior face (5), a coded keyboard (7), said lock comprising in addition to buttons corresponding to the normal buttons of a keyboard (7) at least specific button (20, 21) controlled to open the door (3) after having composed the program and/or for programming secret codes for service the electric unlocking of the lock using means (17) making use of an eccentric, actuated by an electric motor (16), which acts on a trigger (18) for unlocking, and the eccentric (17) is a disk mounted eccentrically on the shaft (15) of the electric motor (16); the rotation of the said shaft (15) causing the disk to turn, which, under the action of centrifugal force, strikes the trigger (18) to free a bolt.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
156 words
Electromechanical lock with coded keyboard comprising, on its interior face, a pushbutton (6) which permits programming the secret code of the user for passage and the secret code or codes for service and, on its exterior face (5), a coded keyboard (7), said lock comprising in addition to buttons corresponding to the normal buttons of a keyboard (7) at least specific button (20, 21) controlled to open the door (3) after having composed the program and/or for programming secret codes for service the electric unlocking of the lock using a means (17) making use of an eccentric, actuated by an electric motor (16), which acts on a trigger (18) for unlocking, and to a disk (14) of plastic material fixed concentrically with the shaft (15) of the motor (16) so as to be fast with it in rotation, a second disk (17) having a sufficient mass is fixed in an eccentric manner and comprises said eccentric.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
156 words
Electromechanical lock with coded keyboard comprising, on its interior face, a pushbutton (6) which permits programming the secret code of the user for passage and the secret code or codes for service and, on its exterior face (5), a coded keyboard (7), said lock comprising in addition to buttons corresponding to the normal buttons of a keyboard (7) at least specific button (20, 21) controlled to open the door (3) after having composed the program and/or for programming secret codes for service the electric unlocking of the lock using a means (17) making use of an eccentric, actuated by an electric motor (16), which acts on a trigger (18) for unlocking, and to a disk (14) of plastic material fixed concentrically with the shaft (15) of the motor (16) so as to be fast with it in rotation, a second disk (17) having a sufficient mass is fixed in an eccentric manner and comprises said eccentric.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
193 words
Electromechanical lock with coded keyboard comprising, on its interior face, a pushbutton (6) which permits programming the secret code of the user for passage and the secret code or codes for service and, on its exterior face (5), a coded keyboard (7), said lock comprising in addition to buttons corresponding to the normal buttons of a keyboard (7) at least specific button (20, 21) controlled to open the door (3) after having composed the program and/or for programming secret codes for service the electric unlocking of the lock using a means (17) making use of an eccentric, actuated by an electric motor (16), which acts on a trigger (18) for unlocking, and a disk (14) of plastic material fixed concentrically to the shaft (15) of the motor (16) so as to be fast with it in rotation; a second disk (17), of metal so as to have a sufficient mass, is fixed to the first, but in an eccentric manner, whereby when the motor (16) is caused to turn, the metallic disk (17), under the action of centrifugal force, acts as said eccentric and strikes the trigger (18) so as to free it.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
193 words
Electromechanical lock with coded keyboard comprising, on its interior face, a pushbutton (6) which permits programming the secret code of the user for passage and the secret code or codes for service and, on its exterior face (5), a coded keyboard (7), said lock comprising in addition to buttons corresponding to the normal buttons of a keyboard (7) at least specific button (20, 21) controlled to open the door (3) after having composed the program and/or for programming secret codes for service the electric unlocking of the lock using a means (17) making use of an eccentric, actuated by an electric motor (16), which acts on a trigger (18) for unlocking, and a disk (14) of plastic material fixed concentrically to the shaft (15) of the motor (16) so as to be fast with it in rotation; a second disk (17), of metal so as to have a sufficient mass, is fixed to the first, but in an eccentric manner, whereby when the motor (16) is caused to turn, the metallic disk (17), under the action of centrifugal force, acts as said eccentric and strikes the trigger (18) so as to free it.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
101 words
Electromechanical lock with coded keyboard according to claim 3, in which: at the stoppage of the motor (16), this latter exerts no supplementary effort other than that required to drive the two disks (14, 17); the action on the trigger occurs only when it has reached a sufficient speed, thus permitting benefitting from the kinetic energy acquired; whatever the angular position of the disks (14, 17) may be at the stoppage of the motor (16), the trigger (18), is freed by the falling of the metallic disk (17), under the action of gravity, which permits rearming without difficulty the lock (1).
