Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus ( 1 ) for reading the profile of a key ( 5 ) defined by a head portion ( 5′ ) and a shank portion ( 5″ ). Such an apparatus comprises a lighting chamber ( 60 ) provided with an inlet section ( 9 ) for inserting said key and an optical device ( 50 ) operatively associated with the chamber ( 60 ). The optical device ( 50 ) defines an optical axis ( 200 ) and is configured to capture at least one image of the profile. The apparatus ( 1 ) further comprises a support device ( 10 ) which defines a bearing plane ( 100 ) for at least one segment of said key ( 5 ), in which such a bearing plane ( 100 ) is parallel to said optical axis ( 200 ). The apparatus further comprises a lighting device configured to illuminate at least one terminal part of the key shank once it has been inserted into the chamber ( 60 ).

Claim (Index 13):
The apparatus according to one of  claims 9 , wherein at least one inner surface of said second transverse wall is inclined at an angle (\u03b12) with respect to the bearing plane, said inner surface extending on a plane which diverges from said bearing plane in the direction of said optical device.
