The key slot carries or houses an element (7) which extends axially along a substantial part of the slot. The key (5) has a blade part (5c) which includes an axially extending portion (5d) in which there is provided a hole (8) for receiving the slot-carried element (7) as the key is inserted into the lock. The slot-carried element (7) and the hole (8) provided in the key (5) are located excentrically in relation to the centre of the plug (3) and accompany rotation of the plug while aided by the key (5). The profile shape of the slot-carried element (7) and the hole (8) in the key may vary within wide limits. The invention also relates to a key belonging to a combination of the aforementioned kind, and to a key blank from which such a key can be produced.</p> |
