A lock (100) comprising a plurality of buttons (111), each button (111) having an axis along which each of the buttons (111) may be axially pressed between an un-pressed position and a pressed position, a locking plate (120), an actuator (114) configured to drive the locking plate (120): a locking mechanism (122) having an unlocked and a plurality of locked states, the plurality of locked states corresponding to different selections of buttons (111) having been pressed into their pressed positions; and a latch (117); in which, when the locking mechanism (122) is in the unlocked state, the locking plate (120) can be driven by the actuator (114) from a locked position into an 10 unlocked position so as to disengage the latch (117) and unlocking the lock (100), but when the locking mechanism (122) is in one of the locked states, the locking mechanism (122) prevents the locking plate (120) being moved by the actuator (114): the lock (100) further comprising a decoupling mechanism (200) by means of which the actuator (114) can drive the locking plate (120), the decoupling mechanism (200) being arranged to decouple the actuator (114) from the locking plate (120), so as to reduce any feedback indicative of which of the unlocked states the locking mechanism (122) is in passing from the locking plate (120) to the actuator (114). In one example, the decoupling mechanism (200) comprises a driven member (201) driven for motion by the actuator (114), a first resilient member (202) connecting the driven member (201) with the locking plate (120) and a second resilient member (203) connecting the locking plate (120) to a fixed member fixed relative to a housing of the lock (100); and in which the first (202) and second (203) resilient members each have a spring constant, with the spring constant of the first resilient member (202) being greater than the spring constant of the second resilient member (203).

Abrégé

A lock includes a housing having a plurality of apertures receiving buttons. A biasing member biases each button towards an un-pressed position. A plurality of spools includes circumferential grooves. Each circumferential groove has a notch that is angularly displaced relative to each of the other notches on that spool. A plurality of legs is in communication with one of the buttons and contacts one of the circumferential grooves. A locking plate includes apertures receiving the spools. An actuator is associated with the locking plate and a latch. Pressing and releasing the buttons causes translation of the spool rotationally orienting a notch to be adjacent to the locking plate. The locking plate only moves into an unlocked position, when driven by the actuator disengaging the latch and unlocking the lock if all of the notches which are adjacent to the locking plate are in a unlocked rotational orientation.

Abrégé

The present invention provides a lock (100) comprising: a housing having a front section comprising a plurality of apertures therethrough; a plurality of buttons (111) disposed through the apertures in the front section of the housing, each button (111) having an axis along which each of the buttons may be axially pressed between an un-pressed position and a pressed position; a biasing member (113) associated with each of the plurality of buttons(111), configured to bias each button (111) towards the un-pressed position; a plurality of spools (122), each spool (122) comprising a plurality of circumferential grooves (123), each circumferential groove (123) having a notch (124) extending over a portion of the circumferential groove, wherein each notch (124) on a given spool (122) is angularly displaced relative to each of the other notches on that spool, the circumferential grooves (123) being parallel and separated spaced apart at a groove spacing from each other; a plurality of legs (116b), each leg (116b) in communication with one of the buttons (111), wherein each leg (116b) is arranged to contact one of the circumferential grooves (123) of one of the spools (122); a locking plate (120) disposed within the housing, the locking plate (120) having a plurality of apertures, each aperture arranged to receive one of the spools (122) therethrough; and an actuator (114) associated with the locking plate (120) and a latch (117), wherein the actuator (114) is configured to move the locking plate (120); wherein pressing one of the buttons (111) causes the leg (116b) in communication with the button (111) to translate the corresponding spool (122) by one groove spacing, with releasing the button (111) causing the leg (116b) to engage an adjacent groove (123); wherein the translation of each spool (122) causes a differently rotationally oriented notch (124) to be adjacent to the locking plate (120), with the locking plate (120) only being able to move into an unlocked position, when driven by the actuator (120), thereby disengaging the latch (117) and unlocking the lock, if all of the notches (124) which are adjacent to the locking plate (120) are in a unlocked rotational orientation.
