An identification module is disclosed for use in a key making machine. The identification module may have a key receiving assembly configured to receive only a shank of an existing key. The identification module may also have a tip guide, configured to receive a tip of the shank of the existing key. The tip guide may have a slot that exposes a tip end of the shank. The identification module may also have an imaging assembly configured to capture an image of the tip end through the slot.

A key assembly is disclosed. The key assembly may have a blade with a head portion, a shank, and a transition region connecting the head portion to the shank. The key assembly may also have a head configured to receive the blade. The head may have a shoulder located at the transition region to limit engagement of the head with the blade, and at least one tang located at an end of the head opposite the shoulder. The at least one tang may be configured to engage a recess located within a side of the head portion and inhibit removal of the head from the blade.

A key device (10) includes a generally elongate shaft portion (12) including a key combination surface (16) that has a plurality of key cut stations (18) for forming telescoping key cuts at each key cut station (18). Each key cut station (18) has a telescoping maximum adjacent cut specification (MACS) that defines a maximum depth of adjacent. The key device (10) also has a non-MACS key cut (20), formed at one or more of the key cut stations (18), for interfacing with a first pin (24) of a given telescoping plug pin. The non-MACS key cut (20) is dimensioned to leave material in the elongate shaft portion (12) for forming another key cut (20A) for interfacing with a second pin (26) of the given telescoping plug pin.

A key blank comprises a shaft and a head connected to the shaft, the shaft including first and second surface that are oppositely facing, wherein the surfaces are configured to include combination elements to operate a lock and a pair of coaxial operating elements, wherein one element of the pair is operative from the first surface of the shaft and the other element of the pair is operative from the second surface of the shaft, and wherein at least one of the operative elements is a resilient element mounted inside a bore provided in the shaft, wherein the resilient element is operative to exert a compressive force on a pin mechanism of the lock in response to the operative engagement and thereby release the pin mechanism from a lock position, without requiring any pressure on the coaxial element on the other side.

A lock-key system includes a key that can be inserted into a keyway of a lock cylinder, wherein said key is traceable by core pins or by locking elements which are movable in the cylinder core, wherein if there is a match, the cylinder core can be rotated by means of the inserted key. Lettering in the form of an impression and/or an embossment, serving as an identifier and including letters and/or numbers and/or symbols, is introduced into at least one lateral surface of the key shank—if a lateral profiling is present, into said lateral profiling. The lettering or individual letters, numbers, or the symbol or sub-areas thereof are traceable by core pins or locking elements having a correspondingly formed contact surface.

A lock has an outer casing and a lock cylinder rotatably mounted therein and having a coaxial keyway of round cross section plus several rows of radial bores to accommodate the tumblers and their springs, and also has a key which has notches on its outside profile for the engagement with the tumbler. The key has an equilateral polygonal bit cross section which matches the cross section of the keyhole in the front wall of the lock casing as well as a coaxial opening in the lock cylinder bottom, these cross sections of the keyhole and bottom opening being angularly offset from one another. The tip of the key bit has ramp surfaces corresponding to the rows of the tumblers, ascending toward the handle of the key and terminating each at one polygon face for the purpose of raising the tumblers, and the rows of notches are disposed between the polygon faces. The axial length of the polygonal cross section of the key is not greater than the length of the keyway in the lock cylinder and the adjoining portion of the key shaft is able to turn in the keyhole.

A key operated cylinder lock is disclosed, including a hollow stationary cylinder housing enclosing a turnable power transmission element and a locking bar having a position locking the turning movement of said power transmission element relative to said cylinder housing. The cylinder lock further includes a set of discs including a number of locking discs turnable by means of combination surfaces on a key of said lock, the locking discs being turnable, by the turning movement of said key, from an initial key insertion position to a releasing position, in which the power transmission element is released from its locked connection to the cylinder housing, whereby the key of the lock is arranged to directly transmit a turning force to a number of locking discs only in a direction from said initial position to said releasing position. The returning of these locking discs to their initial position is arranged to be carried out by means of a separate return bar, receiving turning power from said key through one or several members turning with the key. Thereby the lock is operable in both turning directions and, in addition, the correct turning angle, that is the combination value of a number of locking discs, can be different in opposite turning directions. The separate return bar is movable in a circumferential as well as a radial direction of the lock.

An identification module is disclosed for use in a key making machine. The identification module may have a key receiving assembly configured to receive only a shank of an existing key, and an imaging assembly configured to generate an image of the shank while the existing key is being manually held in the key receiving assembly. The identification module may also have a housing configured to house the key receiving assembly and the imaging assembly. The housing may have a slot formed therein to receive the existing key. The identification module further may have a tip guide configured to receive a tip of the shank of the existing key as the tip is inserted through the slot. The tip guide may be linearly movable by insertion of the existing key from a first location at the slot to a second location away from the slot.
