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 6):
The apparatus according to  claims 1 , wherein said apparatus comprises a closure device comprising a pair of walls of which at least one wall is movable along a direction parallel to the bearing plane and orthogonal to the optical axis, said at least one of said walls being subjected to the thrust of an elastic element which acts so as to draw up the walls themselves, said walls being configured to interact with a corresponding side of said key during the insertion thereof.
