ABSTRACT:
A lock mechanism having an engaging member, a sliding member, a fixed member, and a lock rod assembly received within an elongate lock rod housing is provided. The engaging member includes a planar head having a groove formed therein adapted to receive a protuberance extending axially from one end of the lock core. The engaging member also includes a shank portion extending axially from the head through which is formed a bore adapted to receive therein a spring member. The sliding member has an oval shaped axial through opening and a cam surface defined by an undulating annulus having depressed segments and protruding segments. The fixed member also includes an axial through opening and a cam surface defined by depressed segments and protruding segments. The two cam surfaces form a camming interface, whereby the shank of the engaging member is axially advanced and retracted into and out of locking engagement with the lock rod assembly by rotating the sliding member.
