(57) The key comprises a flat shank (2) insertable in a slot (3) of a rotor (4) rotatable
in a stator (5) of the cylinder (20). A plurality of recesses (6) are aligned along
a face of shank (2) to engage and move first detecting pins (7) in rotor (4) in contact
with respective first locking pins (8) in stator (5) against first springs (9). A
moving element (10) is movable in a shank housing (11) between retracted and extended
positions by a third spring (16). One end (12) of said moving element (10) is arranged
to engage and move a second detecting pin (13) in rotor (4) in contact with a second
locking pin (14) in stator (5) against a second spring (15). The housing (11) is located
in the same shank face than recesses (6) and aligned therewith, and the moving element
(10) moves perpendicular to the shank face.
