Knob cylinder with biometrical sensor
First Claim
1. A knob cylinder having a cylinder housing on which at least one side a knob is pivotably mounted for operating a lock catch and having an electronic control adapted to enable a rotating-connection between the knob and the lock catch, characterized in that the knob cylinder comprises a biometric sensor, located on the knob and adapted to cooperate with the electronic control and to scan a fingerprint to determine access rights.

Abstract
The invention concerns a knob cylinder with a cylinder housing on which at least one side a knob is pivotably mounted for operating a lock catch, and with an electronic control which upon access authorization operates electronic switch means or coupling means in order to enable and/or to create a rotating-connection between the knob and the lock catch. According to the invention it is provided that a biometric sensor which cooperates with the electronic control and scans a fingerprint to determine access rights is located on the knob.
