ABSTRACT:
The safety device comprises a rotatable lock-operating rotor having a first key slot extending transversely thereof, a non-rotatable inner cylindrical body adapted for fixed securement to a door or the like, and a hollow cylinder embracing the rotor and the cylindrical body and having its inner end fixedly secured to the cylindrical body or member. Key-operable pins, plungers or pistons interconnect the rotor and the fixed cylindrical body to prevent rotation of the rotor. The rotor is formed with a first key slot extending transversely thereof and the hollow cylinder has a closed outer end formed with a second key slot extending transversely thereof. A rotatable diaphragm member is interposed between the fixed outer end of the hollow cylinder and the rotor, and has a third key slot extending transversely thereof. The rotor may be disconnected from the fixed cylindrical member by a key inserted into the first slot to engage the pins, plungers or pistons. The second slot in the fixed outer end of the hollow cylinder is normally angularly aligned with the third slot in the rotatable diaphragm, and the second and third slots extend at an angle, such as 90.degree., to the first key slot in the rotor to block access to the pins, plungers, or pistons. The key has a stem with a transverse bar on its inner end.
