ABSTRACT:
An electromagnetically actuated lock is disclosed, which includes a lock bolt with a turnpin. An electromagnet is used as a retaining magnet, the electromagnet including a controlling and locking mechanism for locking or releasing the lock bolt. A control slide moves a control cam, a locking slide has a turnway, and a cross slide is coupled to the electromagnet with the locking slide. In a particularly preferred embodiment, a handling mechanism is used for actuating the lock bolt and for driving the control slide moving the control cam, the cross slide coupled to the electromagnet and the locking slide, so that the turnpin of the lock bolt immerses in the turnway of the locking slide. In an alternative, preferred embodiment, a tumbler lock mechanism is used, instead of the handling mechanism, and includes a double-bit key, so that both a key and a coded command are required for opening the lock.
