A stylus for key duplicating machine with replaceable segmented stylus comprising a cylindrical body; a spring-loaded tracer having a slide spindle movably engaged in one end of the cylindrical body, and a replaceable segmented stylus releasably secured on the front end of the slide spindle for replacement of the worn replaceable segmented stylus damaged during key duplicating by new one easily; and a regulating grip angularly movably engaged in the other end of the cylindrical body.

Claims

1. A stylus for key duplicating machine with replaceable segmented stylus comprising a cylindrical body;

a spring-loaded tracer having a slide spindle movably engaged in one end of said cylindrical body; and

a replaceable segmented stylus releasably secured on front end of said slide spindle for replacement of said replaceable segmented stylus damaged during key duplicating by new one easily; and

a regulating grip angularly movably engaged in other end of said cylindrical body.

2. The stylus for key duplicating machine with replaceable segmented stylus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said regulating grip comprises a disc, a screw vertically secured at center of said disc, and threadedly engaged in other end of said cylindrical body, and having an end portion extended into said cylindrical body for pressing against one end of said slide spindle;

a compression spring received in interior of said one end of said cylindrical body for biasing said slide spindle, and to enable other end of said slide spindle to expose from said cylindrical body; and

a guide secured on said one end of said cylindrical body, for touching and guiding a flat portion of said slide spindle.

3. The stylus for key duplicating machine with replaceable segmented stylus as claimed in claim 2, wherein said compression spring is engaged in between front inner wall of said cylindrical body and intermediate periphery of said slide spindle, and between a C-shaped stopper laterally secured on said slide spindle and an annular cover sheet secured on said one end of said cylindrical body, for biasing said slide spindle backward, in order to enable said spindle to press against an end of said screw.
