ABSTRACT:
A compact hand-holdable implement or key for controlling an electronic lock mechanism is disclosed. The implement is sized and configured for easy, convenient and comfortable gripping, aligning with a mating receptacle of the lock mechanism, and bringing into and out of desired engagement with the receptacle. The illustrated implement includes a memory chip. It has an elongated handle with a front-to-rear axis and electrical implement contacts at its front end connected to the memory chip. The user grips the handle with the user's thumb and at least one finger generally aligned with the handle axis for clear visibility of the front end and the receptacle. This also allows for easy and comfortable combined movement which both aligns the implement with the receptacle and moves it forwardly into the receptacle. The implement contacts are arranged to be engaged with and then disengaged from mating lock contacts in the receptacle, solely by axial movement of the implement and without requiring rotational or transverse movement of the implement. This initiates desired transfer of data from the memory chip to the lock mechanism. A new and advantageous method of use and method of assembly of the implement are also disclosed.
