Abstract (en)
Magnetically attractive pins (13) are pivotally mounted in a disc (8) secured to a drive head (10) carrying a drive spigot (9). When a key incorporating suitably disposed magnets is positioned above the drive head (10), the pins (13) will be aligned with holes (20) in a gate moulding (4) so that the gate moulding is able to slide up the drive spigot (9) and pins (13) and be rotated with the drive head (10) and drive spigot (9) to allow cam follower surfaces (25) to ride out of engagement with stop members formed on the inner wall of a casing for the assembly. The drive spigot (9) is therefore allowed to rotate, together with the freed gate moulding (4) to operate a lock associated with the assembly.
