Abstract

See full text

Tumbler pins 2 are movably housed in a plug 1. A locked/unlocked state is determined by the turning position on the moving direction center axes of the tumbler pins 2. An unlocking key 4 to be inserted into the plug 1 is provided with unlocking code forming recesses 3 for determining the turning positions of the tumbler pins at code decision positions. The tumbler pins 2 are provided at their leading end portions with drive portions 5, which have slope sides of conical faces gradually reduced in diameter toward the leading ends and having rotational centers offset from the moving direction center axes. The side wall faces of the unlocking code forming recesses 3 are formed of conical faces having rotational centers substantially aligned with those of the conical faces forming the slope sides of the drive portions 5. At code decision positions, the slope sides of the drive portions 5 are forced to contact with the side wall faces of the unlocking code forming recesses 3 thereby to determine the turning positions of the tumbler pins 2.
