Abstract

255,212. Gaunt, C. F. June 27, 1925. Key holders.-A device for holding keys comprises one or more rows of pivoted spring hooks and a plate associated with a thickened edge serving as a handle and restricting the movement of the hooks. The owner's name and address may be engraved on the plate. The simplest form is shown in Fig. 1, where the hooks 1 are pivoted on a length of wire embraced by bent-over tongues 6 on the plate 5 having a thickened edge 3. The plate may comprise a middle part 13. Fig. 4, separating the hooks, with side parts 9 supporting the wires 7, 8 on which the hooks are pivoted. Further side parts 23, secured to the plates 9, may be added to restrict the movement of the hooks. The composite plate 9, 13 is thickened at its edge by the beading 12. The plate 13 may be replaced by a leather flap. The side portions 23 may cover the supporting plates 9 and separating plate 19, Figs. 6, 7, in which case the plate 18 forming the parts 23 has a pair of lugs 24 to which the handle 25 is pivoted. Instead of the hooks being mounted on wires, they may be mounted on eyes 20 formed on the central plate 20<a>, Fig. 10.
