Abstract
In a releasable lock of the kind in which a rotor is controlled by a key suitably profiled to release a stator, the stator comprises a barrel mounted rotatably in a body of the lock and indexed resiliently with respect to the latter, with the rotor controlling an actuating finger for a lock mechanism. The actuating finger is fixed to a first lever which is pivoted on an eccentric first axis fixed to the barrel, the actuating finger also being coaxial to both the rotor and the barrel in a rest position of the lock, and extending through a second lever for actuating the lock mechanism. This second lever is pivoted about an eccentric second axis fixed to the lock body, and the rotor includes a rotor pin for driving the first lever.
