Patent

CA 2298503

In a method and apparatus for duplicating an original key, the keyway and keycode of the original key are measured and duplicated in a preform. The preform used in the duplication process need not include any keyway or keycode prior to the duplication process and, therefore, a single type of preform may be used in generating duplicates of many different types of keys. The apparatus may be automated to take the measurements of the original key and to cut the duplicate key, thus reducing the possibility of producing a nonfunctional duplicate.

Procédé et dispositif servant à copier une clé originale et consistant à mesurer l'entrée de clé et le code de la clé originale et à les copier dans une ébauche. Il n'est pas nécessaire que l'ébauche utilisée pour la copie comprenne l'entrée de clé ou le code de la clé avant la copie et ceci permet, par conséquent, de mettre en application un seul type d'ébauche afin de produire des copies d'un grand nombre de différents types de clé. Ce dispositif peut être automatisé afin de prendre les mesures de la clé originale et de tailler la copie de clé, ce qui limite l'éventualité de produire une copie ne fonctionnant pas.
