Key holder

The present innovation relates to a key holder that is lighter in design and has a pleasant appearance. It has a first position ₃ in which it can be opened extremely easily in order to insert or remove the key , while in its second position it is impossible to open ₃ because the transition from one position to the other is particularly easy and quick.

The key holder according to the invention consists of an essential Ln rigid body and a substantially elastic arcuate curved Metal wire, with the substantially rigid body opposing aligned holes or recesses for locking the ends of the metal wire into place having; Moreover, starting from the aforementioned holes, the body has two first rather long ones on its opposite faces suitable grooves for receiving said wire, as well as at least one second side that is significant from the line defined by the holes is less distant than the first side of the body from which the metal

XO wire protrudes when it is located in the grooves. The metal wire has such a length and shape that it can be arranged in the grooves and out of them in at least one suitable for receiving the keys Arch protrudes.

In a preferred implementation of the key holder there is rigid body made of a substantially rectangular plate and each first groove is aligned with a second groove of smaller dimension.

The inventive key holder has the usefulness that the the key holding metal wire by removing one end from the stiff The body can be opened easily when it is on the body in a

fcO to this side of the holes less distant corresponding position is located, i.e. the two bent arms of the metal wire lying next to each other adhere to the body for a short distance, while if the metal wire is placed with its arms in the longer grooves of the body, it is practically impossible to pull out one end of the metal wire, to remove the keys. This latter position thus offers a safety position for the key holder. Another The advantage of the key holder according to the invention is that the Transition from a first position to the safety position is easier and quicker way, simply using the metal wire, (i.e. the

7730648 02.0178

Key) is held with one hand and the rigid body is rotated (or the other way around).

A presently preferred implementation example of the invention The subject matter is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Show it:

Fig. 1 is a front view of the key holder suitable for opening Position;

FIG. 2 is a view of FIG. 1 from the left; FIG.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of Fig. 1;

ID Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 1, but with the key holder in safety position.

The key holder shown in the drawings essentially comprises one rigid plate 1 in a rectangular shape with rounded edges, which has longitudinal grooves on the opposite sides, the first both grooves 2 and 3 are significantly longer than the second smaller grooves 4, 5. In the present case, the grooves 2 and 4 and 3 and 5 are aligned. Between the grooves 2 and 4 and 3 and 5 are two aligned holes or Recesses 6, 7 worked out, in the place of which, if desired, a single through hole could also occur.

An element made of metal wire or a flat wire 8, generally made of harmonic Steel, is bent into a substantially U-shape, while the ends are bent towards each other to be received in holes 6, 7, where they are held due to the elasticity of the material itself. The element 8 is dimensioned so that it is just below the U-shaped arms the grooves 2, 3 can be arranged.

When the element 8 is in the position shown in Figure 1, i. when part of the arms is supported in the shorter grooves 4 and 5, by exerting a force, as indicated by one or the other arrow A in Fig. 1,

7730643 02.M.78

* · · · Uli

is given, the corresponding earth of the element 8 can be easily disengaged from a recess in order to insert or remove the key, since the force A is exerted at a point sufficiently close to the part to be disengaged. After inserting the key and reinserting the bent part of the element 8 in its hole, the entire element 8 is rotated about the axis formed by the two holes 6, 7 until the grooves 2 and 3 are occupied. This is made possible by the fact that the grooves h _} 5 and 2, 3 are relatively shallow and have rounded edges and, moreover, the material of the element 8 is elastic. When the key holder is in the Pig. ¹ J is in the position shown, it is

practically impossible to take out the keys. Indeed it is over 'Lack of space is not just not easy, one or the other labeled with B.

To exert force, as this force must be significantly stronger than the force A, in order to disengage the corresponding bent part of the element 8 from the recess, which is in this EaIl in a much larger Distance from that in Pig. I is the point of application of force shown.

The position according to FIG. 4 is therefore a safety position from which the Keys cannot be removed. That way one became special easy to manufacture, but functional key holder realized. In the embodiment with a plate, the plate can serve to be provided with useful information or decorations. It should be emphasized

furthermore that the middle U-shaped part of the element 8 is not the

ΐ must have the same shape as in the drawing, but also the shape

a drop, an arrow or the like. May have.
