    Abstract: A lock bolt extendible and retractable by movement of a power transmission assembly driven by an actuator and having a cam thereon which cams against the lock bolt to retract the lock bolt and unlock the steering column. In some embodiments, the cam has a curved surface with varying distance from the axis of rotation of the cam or pivot to improved lock bolt motion. The cam can have a gradual ramp surface to extract a lock bolt even in binding conditions of the lock bolt.

    Abstract: A mechanical lock is provided which prevents forced rotation of the cylinder when a mated key is not present in the key slot. The lock includes a cylinder rotatably supported within a sleeve. The cylinder defines a longitudinal axis and a keyway disposed along the axis for slidably receiving a key therein. A cylinder head extends circumferentially about a first end of the cylinder and includes a frangible ring portion which fractures in response to a predetermined rotational force. A tab extends from the cylinder head and includes a frangible base which also fragments in response to a predetermined rotational force. The mechanical lock further includes a sidebar for preventing rotation of the cylinder when a mated key is not present therein. The sidebar includes a rib extending therefrom which prevents the longitudinal sliding of the sidebar out of the mechanical lock when the cylinder head has been broken away from the cylinder.

    Abstract: A lock for the ignition circuit for an automobile including a Hall effect control sensor which is activated by a control magnet on the cylinder member of the lock so that when the cylinder is rotated by the key to its start position, the control sensor is activated. The activation of the control sensor provides one of several starting criteria to an ignition for starting an automobile. An anti-tampering sensor spaced from and adjacent to the control sensor has a trip level which is lower than the trip level of the control sensor so that magnetic forces induced from the exterior of the lock cannot trip the control sensor. A blocking plate is disposed between the control sensor and the anti-tampering sensor to prevent the anti-tampering sensor from being tripped by the control magnet when the cylinder member is rotated to its start position and to enable the anti-tampering sensor to be tripped first to produce a deactivation signal in response to a magnetic force induced from the exterior of the lock.

    Abstract: A mechanical key and lock set with a rotating cylinder includes an electronic interlock which is responsive to the insertion of a mated key in the cylinder and proper rotation of the cylinder. A sensor is placed in communication with the cylinder and senses proper rotation of the cylinder to generate an activation signal. Systems controlled by the lock cannot be enabled without the generation of the activation signal. Fail safe blocking circuitry is placed in communication with the activation signal generator and in the event the actuation signal is attempted to be read in an unauthorized manner without properly rotating the cylinder, the blocking circuitry is functional to preclude reading.

    Abstract: A circuit module for a vehicle ignition lock. The circuit module houses a pair of electrical contacts on either side of a key way for closing a circuit between the contacts and a resistor provided in a key. The circuit module includes a cover and base adapted to be secured to one another for enveloping and securely holding a wire set within the module and for positioning the contacts in proper alignment with the key way. The circuit module is adapted to fit into a cylindrical cavity provided in a bezel of the lock.

    Abstract: A cylindrical lock and key set with an electronic interlock circuit includes a self-destruct circuit portion which is intercepted, engaged and destructed by an intercept member when the cylinder is forcibly, axially removed from the lock sleeve. A second intercept member may engage the circuit and destruct it when the cylinder is forcibly rotated. Either or both of the intercept members may be located on the cylinder.

    Abstract: A lock for a vehicle-ignition circuit. The lock includes a sleeve, a cylinder rotatably coupled within the sleeve and having a keyway therein that receives a key that allows the cylinder to rotate, and a sensor including a pair of spaced-apart switch contacts and a movable electrically-conductive body. The body is movable between a first position where the body is located away from at least one of the switch contacts and a second position where the body contacts both of the switch contacts. The sensor defines a region in which the sensor is responsive to the effects of an actuator, and is coupled to the sleeve so that the region is located within the rotation of the cylinder and is in an orientation in which the body is located in the first position in the absence of the actuator within the region.
