| 摘要 |
This specification discloses a lock characterized by employing a plurality of rods reciprocal within apertures of a body, the apertures being blocked by pins unless the pins are properly positioned by a key. When properly positioned, the pins have an aperture which aligns with respective apertures in the body to allow the rods to move into the unlocked position. The matched key employs a combination of either elevations, or depressions, or both, to properly align apertures in the pins and the body. The lock is preferably spring loaded to the unlocked position such that it unlocks upon insertion of the key. Disclosed also are other specific aspects useful for a particular application of the lock; for example, whether used in a home or automobile. Also disclosed is a method of mass producing matched locks and keys.
