Generally, at least two keys are provided for one lock, including an auxiliary key. Nevertheless, the user may need another auxiliary key due to the loss of the key or for other reasons. In this case, the user prepares another auxiliary key by imitation cutting using the key blank. In particular, in the case of automobiles, in addition to the keys used mainly, the auxiliary key is provided. In the case of automobiles as well, even though these auxiliary keys are provided, the auxiliary keys have no choice but to be used when the frequently used keys are lost, or when the keys are inserted into the starting device and the door is closed, making it difficult to access the vehicle. In many cases, however, these auxiliary keys cannot be carried so that the auxiliary functions of the auxiliary keys cannot be fully used. In addition, the second auxiliary key, which is prepared by processing the key blank, that is, the second auxiliary key is composed of a single body having a key body and a handle part, and is connected to another key pack in such a case. It can be confusing and cumbersome to use.

In the present invention, it is conceived in view of such a conventional situation, and it is possible to store a key or an auxiliary key mainly used in a case which is easy to carry, and in use, only the key body part is exposed from the case and the case part can be used as a handle. The purpose is to provide a portable key case. Such a key case of the present invention can be miniaturized to simplify the vacation, it can carry a promotional advertisement on the outer surface and may be configured to graf the key case itself to a portable having a different function.

To this end, in the present invention, the key body and the key body having a wider width than the key body at the end of the key body are integrally formed so that the key can be stored and carried in a case composed of two case parts connected by hinges. According to the present invention, there is provided a portable key case. In accordance with the present invention, a key compartment consisting of a key body compartment and a key end compartment is formed in the inside of each case part in a form close to the appearance of the key, and from the key end compartment to the outside. Each of the openings is smaller than the width and forms an opening for allowing the key body to be exposed to the outside so that the key compartment including these openings forms a space for storing the key inside the case when the case is closed. When in use, the key body faces the outside of the case and the key body It is characterized in that the minute itself is placed in the opening of the key compartment so that the case itself can be used as a handle of the key by closing the two case parts.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, short shafts are formed on both sides of the key end of the key, and these short shafts are coupled to shaft holes formed on both sidewalls of the key end chamber so that the key body is moved outward from the key compartment in the case. It can be rotated.

In another embodiment of the present invention, a protrusion is formed at the center of the key end compartment in one case, a "C" channel is formed at the key end, and is inserted into the protrusion and shortened to the inside of the "C" channel at the key end. The key body can be rotated outward from the key compartment in the case by being formed and coupled to the shaft hole formed in the corresponding protrusion.
