Filed:

Sep 21, 1987

Appl. No.:

7/099099

Inventors:

Richard S. Adler - Franklin Lakes NJ
Paul F. Morris - New York NY

International Classification:

E05B 2500

US Classification:

70383

Abstract:

A lock which is rekeyable or programmable to operate with a different key from the exterior thereof without disassembling it or removing it from a lock assembly in which it is assembled is disclosed. The lock is rekeyed by a change key through the keyway so that the lock appears from the exterior thereof to be a conventional lock. The change key which can not operate the lock adjusts a movable shear line formed by what is in effect an externally adjustable tumbler. The lock includes a plurality of pin tumbler sets and a plurality of cylinders disposed one in the other in the lock casing. The pin tumbler sets and the cylinders cooperate to from a plurality of common pin tumbler shear lines, i. e. , shear lines formed by a number of individual shear lines of individual pin tumbler sets. In a given position of the adjustable shear line, only one of the keys will position the pin tumblers to form the proper common pin tumbler shear which is aligned with the adjustable shear line to operate the lock.

US Classification:

70383

Abstract:

A lock which is rekeyable or programmable to operate with a different key from the exterior thereof without disassembling it or removing it from a lock assembly in which it is assembled is disclosed. The lock may be rekeyed through the keyway so that the lock appears from the exterior thereof to be a conventional lock, or from the end opposite the keyway from the interior of a door, or from a side of the lock which requires disassembly of the lock from its lock assembly. The lock includes structure defining a movable shear line that can be adjusted from the exterior of the lock without disassembling the lock itself. Such structure may comprise a rotatable cam and a pin tumbler and an axially adjustable set screw. Security of the lock is improved by selectively restricting or blocking access to the rekeying of the lock in the interior thereof with a gate or shutter, or various combinations of gates or shutters.

Abstract:

A process for the preparation of a tissue matrix suitable for regenerative repair of tissues, including contacting an isolated connective tissue with an amount of detergent and an amount of disinfectant to significantly reduce at least one of lipids, phospholipids, nucleic acids, major histocompatibility (MHC) antigens, contaminating microorganisms, and endotoxins. The process further provides for less significant reduction in proteoglycan content while retaining the overall structure of the tissue matrix produced. Processing may further include micronizing the tissue matrix. Also, a tissue matrix having a scaffold portion and non-structural portion, collectively structured to promote cellular infiltration, attachment, and proliferation. The tissue matrix may be in the form of a sheet, thick sheet, or micronized. Also, kits including a prepared tissue matrix for use in regenerative repair, and kits for preparing a tissue matrix.
