    摘要: A magazine (10) for receiving a plurality of lever key blanks (20) stacked vertically one above each other in a substantially identical alignment to each other. The magazine (10) has front and rear ends (22, 24) and first and second sides (26, 28) which define a vertically extending profiled opening (30). In plan view the profiled opening (30) has a rear part (32) to locate a lever key blank head and a main part (36) of lesser width than the rear part (32), extending forwards from the rear part (32) to locate a lever key blank shank (38). In plan view the profiled opening (30) also has a side part (40) on the first side (26) towards the front end to locate the blade (42) of a lever key blank (20), such that a lever key blank (20) can only be located in the profiled opening (30) in one orientation with the key blank blade (40) locating in the first side part (40). The lower end of the magazine (10) is configured such that a lowermost lever key blank (20) only can be dispensed therefrom in a forwards direction.

    摘要: The invention concerns a key cutting machine for cutting dimples in dimple keys or elongated recesses in sidewinder keys. The key cutting machine comprises a milling module (100) with rotary cutters (110,120), anvils (810, 812) and control circuitry. The anvil (810, 812) is for stabilising the key blank whilst the rotary cutter (110,120) is cutting the key blank, wherein the anvil (810, 812) engages a first face of the blade of the key blank while the rotary cutter (110,120) is cutting a second face of the blade opposite to the first face. The anvil and/or the rotary cutter are moved into position by the control circuitry.
