More Information
Summary:A lock apparatus including a plurality of locking discs rotatable about a rotational axis between locked and unlocked states and each having a locking engagement surface, at least one driver disc rotatable about the rotational axis and having a driving engagement surface, a movable catch having a catch surface that abuts the locking engagement surface of the locking discs when the movable catch is in a locked position such that rotation of the locking discs is inhibited. The catch surface does not abut the locking engagement surface of the locking discs when the movable catch is in an unlocked position such that rotation of the locking discs is enabled. The driving engagement surface of the driver disc engages a portion of the movable catch upon rotation of the driver disc to thereby displace the movable catch from the locked position to the unlocked position.
