Description

  The present invention relates to a key holder, and more particularly, to a key holder having an arbitrary pattern desired by a user for a key holder that can be locked.

  Generally, key holders are designed to carry and store various keys conveniently by putting various kinds of keys. People universally carry at least a few keys. In other words, various keys such as entrance keys, car keys, office keys, personal lacquer keys, etc. are carried or stored, but these keys are produced and used individually. In order to conveniently carry and store such various keys, a key holder is locked and conveniently carried and stored so that many keys can be tied together.

  Such a conventional key holder 1 is used in a state of being wound as a simple circular shape in which both end portions are overlapped with each other using an original iron core 1a having its own tension as shown in FIG. It is a fact.

  A conventional key ring having a perfect circular shape as described above has a certain size of an original iron core having its own tension, and is wound with both end portions overlapping each other. Production is easy and large quantities can be produced within a short period of time, so the production cost can be reduced, but the shape of the key holder has only a uniform circular elephant, and the product can be diversified. In particular, recently, there is an increasing demand for a key ring that allows consumers to double as an accessory function without pursuing only a simple key ring function.

  However, since the key ring currently used is wound around the original iron core with its own tension force to a certain size, it is not manufactured in addition to the uniform circular elephant and is consumed. It is a fact that many needs cannot be obtained because the needs of the elderly cannot be satisfied.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, a key ring that can hold a large number of keys is manufactured to have a variety of arbitrary patterns desired by the user in addition to the circular ellipse, and the user can select any key that suits his taste. The purpose is to freely select and use key holders with a variety of figurative patterns, and to pursue the functions of accessories by removing them from simple key holders.

  In order to achieve such an object, the present invention provides a set of first and second hanging elements having reference pieces having arbitrary lengths and widths and extending from both side ends of the reference pieces so as to have an equal arbitrary pattern. A pair of first and second hanging elements are formed so as to overlap each other by rolling the prepared non-worked product and the reference pieces of the non-worked product in opposite directions.

In addition, the key holder is formed of various polygons such as four corners, three corners, and five corners.

  The key holder may have various curved shapes such as a heart, a butterfly and the like outside the polygon.

In addition, the reference piece and the first and second hanging elements include a hanging hole for further hanging a hanging ring connected to a decoration.
Further, the reference piece and the first and second hanging elements further include a decoration such as a jewel.

  As described above, the present invention has a pair of first and second hanging elements having patterns corresponding to each other integrally on both side ends of the piece-like reference piece, and both sides starting from the intermediate point of the reference piece. If you squeeze it in the opposite direction, you can make a key chain that overlaps with a pair of first and second hanging elements that are extended to both sides by a central twisting element in close contact with each other. Manufactured with a variety of shapes desired by consumers, not just a round elephant key ring, but also a variety of insect patterns consisting of polygonal patterns such as triangles and squares or curved shapes such as hearts and butterflies In addition to responding to consumer needs, it can be used with a variety of accessories in addition to the simple function of a key ring.

  Hereinafter, a configuration and a method of making an embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the structure of a key holder manufactured according to the present invention. The key holder 10 has reference pieces 11 having an arbitrary length and width, and is extended from both ends of the reference piece so as to have an equal arbitrary pattern. A torsion element 13 is generated by forming a non-workpiece 21 having a set of first and second hanging elements 12 and 12a and rolling the reference pieces 11 of the non-workpiece 21 in opposite directions. Shows a state in which a part of the pair of first and second hanging elements 12, 12a overlap.

  The key holder 10 has the first and second hanging elements 12 and 12a extended from both ends of the reference piece 11 according to the angle (about 90 °) of the twisting element 13 by the first and second hanging elements 12 and 12a. In this case, when the twisting angle of the reference piece 11 is set to be more than 90 °, the first and second hanging elements are overlapped by the twisting angle of the twisting element 13. Since one surface of 12 and 12a maintains a close contact force with each other, the key on the key holder 10 is not arbitrarily removed.

  A method for making the key holder 10 having the above-described configuration will be described by each process as follows. As shown in FIG. 3a, the key holder to be manufactured with the plate 20 having a predetermined thickness for manufacturing the key holder 10, that is, the first and second hanging elements 12, 12a having arbitrary patterns respectively extended from both sides of the reference piece 11. It cuts the non-processed material 21 with the same.

  The cutting is performed by cutting with a press or various other methods to complete each non-processed product 21 as shown in FIG. 3b. If both side ends of the reference piece 11 of the non-processed material 21 cut into an arbitrary pattern as described above are turned in opposite directions, as shown in FIG. 3C, the reference piece 11 is twisted with an intermediate point as a base point. A pair of first and second hooking elements 12 and 12a extended from both sides of the reference piece 11 with the twisted element 13 as a base point overlap each other.

  As described above, if the pair of first and second hanging elements 12 and 12a overlap with each other, the both sides of the first, first and second hanging elements 11 are rolled so as to have a predetermined angle. The pair of first and second hanging elements 12 and 12a that are overlapped with each other at a twisting angle are kept in close contact with each other by their own tension force, so that a pair of first and second hanging elements 12 and 12a are maintained. Even when the elements 12 and 12a are opened outside and the key is locked, the first and second hanging elements can be kept in close contact with each other by the tension force of itself and the twisting force of the twisting element 13, and the key holder 10 There is no risk that a locked key will be lost during use.

  Further, when the key placed on the key holder 10 is positioned on the torsion element 13 of the reference piece 11, the key is held in an inclined state in accordance with the inclined groove of the torsion element curled in one direction. The key holder 10 of the present invention has been described with the five corners as a basic shape for the sake of convenience. In addition to the pentagonal shapes described above, a square or triangular pattern can be manufactured as shown in FIGS.

  In addition to the polygon as described above, a heart shape having a curved pattern as shown in FIG. 6 and other symmetrical patterns such as butterflies or flower patterns can be manufactured. It can meet the needs of different categories of consumers with individual preferences.

  As another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7, the reference hole 11 or the first and second hanging elements 12 and 12a of the key holder 10 can be provided with hanging holes 14 and various decorations can be applied. In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, it is also possible to use the decoration piece 30 having various patterns such as jewelry on the reference piece 11 and the first and second hanging elements 12 and 12a.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 7, which is the key holder 10, the connecting string and the connecting ring connected to various decorations such as characters or photographs are hung on the reference piece 11 and the hanging holes 14 aligned with the first and second hanging elements 12 and 12a. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the first and second hanging elements 12 and 12a can be used in a state in which a decoration 30 having various patterns such as jewelry is driven.
