Abstract: A key duplicating machine is used for duplicating notches of an original key to a key blank. The key duplicating machine includes a base assembly, a first sliding table, a first driving mechanism, a first clamp, a second clamp and a cutting module. The first sliding table is slidably mounted on the base assembly. The first driving mechanism controls a position of the first sliding table. The two clamps are fixed on the base assembly. The original key and key blank are fixed on the two clamps respectively. The cutting module is pivotally mounted on the first sliding table, and has a guiding element, a TO cutting element and a motor. Gravity makes the cutting module rotate, and makes the guiding element and the cutting element press against the keys. The duplicating can be carried out with one hand, which is easier to use and more precise.

Abstract: A stroke safety device for a key duplicating machine has a fixed mount and a movable mount. The fixed mount is mounted around a connecting shaft of the key duplicating machine and has a first body, multiple first resilient members, multiple pressing elements, and an adjusting element. The first body has a through hole, an inclined segment, and a mounting recess. The movable mount is pivotally connected to the fixed mount and has a second body and an operating element. The second body is pivotally mounted on a base of the key duplicating machine to cover the inclined segment, and has two opposite side segments. The abutting rod is inserted into the mounting recess of the first body to selectively abut against the adjusting element.

Abstract: A stroke controller is mounted on a key duplicator and has a base, a drive shaft, a knob and a driven shaft. The base has a longitudinal shaft hole and a transverse shaft hole. The drive shaft is mounted rotatably through the transverse shaft hole. The knob is mounted on the drive shaft and has a drive gear. The driven shaft is mounted slidably through the longitudinal shaft hole and has a rack section engaging the drive shaft so that rotating the knob drives the driven shaft to slide relative to the base. The stroke controller precisely controls the movement of an original key and a key workpiece clamped on the key duplicator to manufacture a fine key duplicate.

Abstract: A key blank selector has a base, a template and a clamp. The base defines a chamber and a platform having a recess communicating with the chamber. The template is soft and pliable corresponds to and is detachably mounted in the recess of the platform. The clamp is detachably mounted around the platform of the base to hold and position the template in the recess and has an opening formed corresponding to the chamber of the base. A mother key is positioned perpendicularly on and force applied to pierce through the template and form a figure corresponding to a cross sectional profile of the mother key in the template; therefore, facilitating key blank selection and preventing misjudgment.

Abstract: A clamping device for a key duplicating machine includes two pairs of fixed jaws and movable jaws arranged on a base, and can be relatively moved to each other along two horizontal parallel upper and lower guide rods. The fixed and movable jaws are provided with several vertical semicylindrical notches of different radii on the confronting sides thereof in order to form several vertical approximate cylindrical clamping holes for clamping cylindrical keys of different diameters when the movable jaws are moved toward the fixed jaws. An upright biasing device is provided on the base beneath a horizontal portion of the fixed and movable jaw. The biasing device includes a pivotable location stopper arranged on the fixed jaw and has a horizontal plate portion arranged in a pre-determined level position.
