Patent number: 10846842Abstract: A key identification system that includes a key identification system housing, a key clamp, a key ring support tray, and two digital identifiers is disclosed. The key identification system housing may include a key receiving aperture extending through housing and sized to receive at least some of a key blade of a key. The key clamp is positioned adjacent to the key receiving aperture and allows the system to maintain the key blade in a fixed position within the key identification system housing when the key is inserted into the key receiving aperture. The key ring support tray is typically coupled to the key identification system housing below the key receiving aperture. The two digital identifiers are positioned within the key identification system housing and designed to capture key blade information.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2018Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: The Hillman Group, Inc.Inventors: Michael A. Mueller, George Lynn Hagen, Scott Basham, Ryan Hamblin, Carl Ito, Kenneth C. Booth
