    The invention relates to a method for producing a key, which is designed for actuating a lock cylinder and has a Reide and a shaft with a mechanically and / or magnetically scannable coding.
    The invention further relates to a device for carrying out the aforementioned method.
    Keys, which are designed to operate a lock cylinder and have a Reide and a shaft with a mechanically and / or magnetically scannable coding, are usually made of metal. The production of a metal key is very complex due to the many process steps that are required to provide the key with the respective individual mechanical and / or magnetic coding. In the case of a mechanically scannable coding having key is usually from a blank, which already has a cross-sectional profile, which is adapted to the shape of the associated keyway of the lock cylinder. In addition to the mentioned longitudinal profiling, a mechanical key has at one or two opposite edges of the key shank a plurality of successive projections and recesses with the projections respectively associated control edges, which are used to actuate blocking elements, such as e.g. Pin tumblers of a shooting cylinder are formed. These elevations and depressions are formed on the blank by means of a milling tool. In a subsequent step, the Reide of the key must be edited to emboss markings, such as coding numbers or brand names
    I
    To bring in the like. Finally, a post-processing is required, for example, to avoid sharp edges.
    Although metal keys have proven very useful, in addition to the complex and costly production, they have a number of other disadvantages. Metal keys have a high weight and can trigger allergies especially in the case of a nickel containing material. Furthermore, the profiling of the keys is subject to certain limitations due to the manufacturing process, so that the number of coding possibilities is low. Furthermore, there is the disadvantage that a colored design of metal keys is limited. The color of the metal can hardly be influenced. A color design is only possible by applying a paint, which is naturally subject to high wear. Furthermore, it is difficult for metal keys to integrate electronic or magnetic coding elements. Electronic coding elements such as microchips can therefore only be integrated into the reide if it is formed from a non-metallic material. In such a case, the metal shaft and the Reide can thus not be made of one and the same material, which further increases the cost of manufacture. In the case of magnetic coding elements, although these can be embedded in the metallic key bit according to the prior art, there is the disadvantage that the metal shaft can adversely affect the magnetic field lines. 3/25 I ............ · ·············································································· ··· ο · ♦ · · · · · · · · ····
    To overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages has already been proposed to produce a key entirely or in some areas of a plastic. In this regard, for example, reference is made to EP 305588 A2. However, it is already pointed out in this document that keys made of plastic do not have sufficient torsional rigidity. In the cited document it is therefore proposed to use stiffening elements e.g. made of metal in the transition region between the Reide and the key shaft.
    The production of such a key therefore requires the handling of two different materials and is therefore complicated.
    The present invention therefore aims to overcome the drawbacks mentioned above in connection with metal keys and to simplify the manufacture. In this case, keys should preferably be obtained in which no relevant losses in terms of wear resistance and torsional and bending stiffness must be taken into account. In particular, the key should also have an abrasion resistance that allows for a number of usage cycles, so that the key can be used daily for many years.
    To solve this problem, the method of the type mentioned is further developed such that the shaft and the Reide or the blanks are made by means of an injection molding of a thermoplastic. By using an injection molding process, the key can be produced in a single step. It is preferred to proceed, 4/25
    that the shaft and the Reide are made in one piece with each other.
    By using an injection molding process is the shaping, in particular the mechanical coding profiling of the key significantly less restrictions than is the case with a milling of profiles in metal keys. In particular, profilings with undercuts can readily be formed during the injection molding process. As a result, the mechanical coding variety can be substantially increased, whereby the Nachsperrsicherheit is increased.
    The thermoplastic is preferably selected from the group of polyimides. Polyimides are high-performance plastics whose most important structural feature is the imide group. Polyimides include, for example, polyetherimides and polyamide-imides, it being shown in experiments that polyetherimides are particularly preferred for use in key production. Polyimides are generally characterized by high mechanical strength, high chemical resistance and high temperature resistance. In the context of the present invention, polyetherimides are also to be regarded as preferred in particular because they can be readily processed by injection molding.
    If, as corresponds to a preferred embodiment, the key shank and the Reide or their blank made of the same thermoplastic, in particular polyetherimide, the entire key or the blank can be made in one piece and from a single plastic component by injection molding 5/25 Μ ---- ♦ · · · · · · «9 · ·· ·····« • · β (· ·· δ • ·
    become. If different subsections of the key are to consist of different thermoplastics, it may be preferable to proceed in such a way that a two-component or multi-component injection molding process is used. The use of two or more types of plastic may be advantageous, for example, when the Reide is to be coated with a softer material compared to a hard plastic, in particular polyetherimide, in order to improve the feel. However, the use of a two-component or multi-component injection molding process may also be necessary if, as is preferably provided, a subset of the thermoplastic is mixed with a filler and injected into the injection mold to form at least a portion of the key shaft. The filler may preferably be ferromagnetic, so that in the said at least one partial region, a magnetic coding can be carried out. The magnetic coding can be individualized in particular by the fact that the magnetic properties of said subregion depend on the volume fraction or the amount of the ferromagnetic filler in the thermoplastic.
    The key does not necessarily have to be made entirely by injection molding. Rather, only a blank of the shaft, the Reide or the whole key can be injection-molded. In this connection, it is possible to proceed in such a way that the blank is removed from the injection mold after injection molding and subjected to a processing step. The processing step may include thermal or mechanical processing. Thereafter, the processed blank can be re-inserted into the injection mold and by means of a 6/25
    be completed further injection molding. In the further injection molding process either the same thermoplastic as in the injection molding of the blank can be used or another thermoplastic. Alternatively, the blank can be coated with metal, in particular vapor-coated.
    A preferred development provides that at least one of the magnetic or electronic coding serving component is inserted into the cavity before injection molding. The said component is encapsulated during the injection molding or embedded in the key body produced by the injection molding. Preferably, the magnetic or electronic coding component is a microchip. The microchip may be formed in a particularly preferred manner as an RFID transponder. When the microchip is embedded in or completely enclosed by the key shank material, an embodiment in which the microchip operates passively, that is, is particularly advantageous. without a separate power source. In particular, a passive RFID transponder is preferred in this context.
    As an alternative or in addition to the microchip, it can be provided that the component serving for the magnetic or electronic coding comprises a permanently magnetisable material, in particular samarium cobalt. Such a component made of permanently magnetisable material is used, for example, in so-called magnetic locks, in which the locking elements of the lock cylinder comprise magnet rotors whose rotational position can be changed by magnetic forces resulting from said permanently magnetizable material, such as samarium cobalt inserts. 7.25

    Although the preferred thermoplastic from the group of polyimides, in particular polyetherimide, already has a high strength and a high impact strength, the material properties can preferably be further improved by using a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic, in particular fiber-reinforced polyetherimide, with preference for reinforcing and / or glass fibers are used. The fiber reinforcement serves in particular to increase the torsional and bending stiffness of the key body. In this context, it is preferably provided that the fiber-reinforced thermoplastic, in particular the fiber-reinforced polyether imide has a fiber content of 5-40, preferably 20-35 vol .-%.
    In order to maximize the strength-increasing effect of the fibers, a preferred embodiment provides that the fibers are in the same orientation state.
    The choice of the injection point can influence the properties of the injection-molded part. The injection point influences the orientation of the fibers and thus also the strength of the molded part, especially in the case of thermoplastics mixed with fibers. Furthermore, the choice of the injection point influences the formation of weld lines. Joint welds occur during injection molding when several flow fronts meet. Tie lines often cause a notch to form on the surface, thereby degrading surface quality and generally degrading mechanical properties. For these reasons, it is advantageous to place the injection point so that as few tie lines arise. Experiments have shown that 8/25 •····························································································· Particularly good results can be achieved if the injection point on the Reide, in particular in the region of the imaginary extension of the shaft, ie is chosen at the furthest from the shaft Reide. This simultaneously ensures the desired uniform orientation of the fibers. An optimization in that the proportion of unoriented fibers or of fiber nuggets is minimized is preferably achieved by an optimized sprue distribution system having an overflow depot arranged shortly after the material enters the cavity, in which unoriented fiber balls can be accommodated.
    To carry out the method according to the invention, the invention provides an injection molding apparatus comprising an injection mold delimiting at least one cavity and at least one injection nozzle for injecting a thermoplastic into the cavity, wherein the injection mold has at least two mold halves separable from each other along a parting plane, the injection mold being at least two transverse and / or parallel to the parting plane displaceable, projecting into the cavity slide comprises. The slides are responsible for setting the key-individual profiling of the key, so that a variety of differently profiled or coded key can be produced with an injection mold, which significantly reduces tooling costs. It is preferably provided here that a first group of slides is guided transversely to the parting plane and a second group of slides parallel to the parting plane displaceable. In this way, a wide variety of profiles can be achieved, and depending on the direction transverse or parallel to the 9/25 ♦ ♦ ·················································································· · · · · * · ····· · > ····················································
    Dividing plane a profiling of the two side surfaces of the key shaft and the cooperating with the pin tumblers of the lock cylinder keybar succeed.
    In order to enable the settings of predetermined displacement positions of the slide, a preferred embodiment provides that the slides cooperate with locking means to lock the slides in each case in a first displacement position and in a second displacement position and possibly in further displacement positions.
    In order to enable automation of the coding process, the embodiment is preferably such that at least one drive device cooperating with the slides is provided in order to shift the slides individually. In this way, by means of the drive means thus an independent displacement of the individual slides can be realized.
    A fully automatic generation of keys with different profiling preferably succeeds in that the drive means cooperates with a control unit which comprises a memory for a plurality of coding alternatives, wherein each coding alternative shift positions of the individual slides are assigned, the slider depending on the respectively selected coding alternative are drivable to take the assigned displacement position.
    The injection molding apparatus according to the invention is intended to be particularly suitable for the production of key profiles for a wide variety of conventional 10/25 mechanical lock cylinder systems, wherein both a longitudinal profiling and a profiling of the key bit are to be made possible. For this purpose, the invention preferably provides that the cavity for forming a key profile has a plurality of longitudinally extending grooves. In addition, the sliders are preferably arranged to form a plurality of successive depressions on the key shaft, which are used to actuate blocking elements, such as e.g. Pin tumblers of a lock cylinder are provided.
    The injection mold may preferably be developed in such a way that during injection molding in the same working step the markings usually provided in the region of the Reide, such as e.g. a brand name or a coding identification.
    The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to embodiments shown schematically in the drawing.

The inserts 13 may for example be made separately and then inserted into recesses of the injection-molded plastic shaft. Alternatively, the separately produced inserts 13 can be inserted into the injection mold and enclosed during injection molding or embedded in the plastic material. Finally, it is also possible to manufacture the key and the inserts in a two-component injection molding. From the first component, the Reide 11 and the key shank 12 are made in one piece, from the second, with ferromagnetic particles offset component, the magnetic inserts are then injection molded.
