A cylinder lock having a body and a modified cam arranged to move an external element which engages the modified cam, so that the external element slides axially on the cylinder lock body. In a preferred embodiment, a helical cam engages a movable external element or slider, and when operated by rotating the appropriate key, the movable external element moves in a linear fashion along the length of the cylinder lock thus converting key rotation to axial motion of the external element. The external element is arranged to engage an eccentric pin formed as part of a rotating bolt which rotates on an orthogonal axis to the cylinder plug in response to said sliding motion, for the function of locking or unlocking a device. The streamlined design of the inventive cylinder lock enables efficient placement of a door lock within the hollow volume of a door to provide locking action. |
