ABSTRACT:
Lock and key device with the lock comprising a barrel for driving at least one bolt, rotatably mounted in a fixed hollow shaft and containing fittings the cooperation of which with wing couples formed on the key in its operational portion unblocks the barrel relative to the shaft as to a rotary movement when the key is completely driven-in, means being provided in the lock and on the key for limiting the driving-in of the key inside the lock to the unblocking position of the fittings, a longitudinal undeceiver of the key cooperating with a barrel slot, distinguishing a wing couple from another wing couple for the introduction in a correct position of the key inside the lock. The undeceiver depends without discontinuity from a cylindrical rib provided in front of the connecting portion of the key ring with the operational portion, the front transverse wall of the shaft being formed with a conjugated traverse of the rib for preventing, through cooperation with the latter, the rotation of the key as long as it is not in its completely driven-in position where the rib escapes from the traverse, the rib being disposed for cooperation through its rear face, as soon as the rotation of the key is started, with the shaft plate for preventing the extraction and through its front face with the barrel, for providing the accuracy of the longitudinal position of the key relative to the fittings contained in the barrel.
