nnLos s. GILLESPIE, or Los ANGELES, cALIFo-nnm, rissrsnonor ONE-FOURTH To FRANCIS M. TOWNSEND AND FORNIA.
KEY-HOLDER.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, DELOS S. GILLESPIE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented a new and useful Key-Holder, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a key holder of the general type known as key ring, and
the main object of my invention is to provide a key holder of the character described in which provision is made for segregating the keys carried thereon, and further in constructing the holder so that the same is in convenient form for placing advertising matter thereon.
Another object of my invention is to provide a key holder of the class described of simple form and construction which may be manufactured at a minimum cost.
Referring to the drawings, which are for illustrative purposes only: Figure 1 is a perspective view of a key holder embodying the preferred form of my invention. Fig. 2 isa transverse sectional view on line a2 w Fig. 1. p
1 designates a thin metallic plate, although it is understood that the plate may be made of any substance having resilient qualities. The plate 1 is provided at one end with a circular opening 2. The end of the plate 1, at the end provided with the opening, being substantially concentric to the opening therein, forms a circular tongue 3.
In the form shown in the drawing, the metal of the plate 1, at one side of the opening 2, is slotted as indicated at 4, which slot extends from the edge of the plate transversely of the plate into the opening 2. The plate 1 is also provided with a longitudinally extending slot 5 which extends rearwardly from the opening 2 into the plate 1 tangentially of the opening'2 and parallel to one side of the plate. The portion of the plate 1 between the slot 5 and the side thereof forms a tongue 6 which may be sprung downwardly, as indicated in dot and dash lines in Fig. '1, or upwardly, if so desired. The end of the plate 1' forms substantially a curved tongue 3, the end of which is formed by the transverse slot '4 in the plate 1. I
By forming the plate 1 in the manner above described, it is readily understood Specification of Letters Patent.
which are approximately together, each of which is of considerable length so that the adjacent ends of the tongues 31 and 6 may be readily sprung apart for the purpose of inserting keys or similar objects over the tongue 3.
7 designates a chain, one end of whichis connected to the plate 1 through an open-' ing 8. The opposite end of the chain is provided with a ring 9 adapted to be placed on the tongue 3 of the plate.
The holder heretofore described is designed to be used in the following manner: The chain 7 being made, as shown,-of considerably greater length than the tongue 3 of the plate 1, a number of keys may be laced thereon by removing the ring 9 from 4 the tongue 3 through the transverse slot 4 of the plate by springing either the end of the tongue 3, or the end of the tongue 6, thereby disengaging the ring 9 from the plate 1. The ring 9 m'av then be passed through the opening in the key, it being understood that ordinarily keys are provided with an openingin the handle end thereof, and after the keys have been placed on the chain 7 the ringv 9 is again placed on the tongue 3 of the plate lthrough the transverse slot 4 thereof, as heretofore described. If it is desired to segregate the keys, in

FRANK L. A. GRAHAM, BO'II-I' OF LOS ANGELES, CALI- Patented May 16, 1916.
Application filed March 5,1913. Serial No. 752,212. i w i i order to have certain keys, which are mostly used, where they can be readily found, the same is accomplished by placing one or more keys directly on the tongue 3 of the plate 1, by inserting the same through the transverse slot 40f the plate, by springing either the tongue 3 or the tongue 6.v The plate 1 is preferably elongated, as shown, extending away from the key end of the plate, so that the space away from the keys may be used, one side for an advertisement, and the other side, if desired, for the name and address of the owner of the key holder 7 and keys.
What I claim is I A key holder comprising a flat plate, a tongue formed by cutting a circular hole through one end of said plate, said hole being large enough to receive the handles of a number of keys and saidtongue being completely out through near one of its intersections with the plate, a rectangular having' one end secured in a small 1161s in set mjr'hand at Los Angeles, California, this said plate and having its other end attached 21st day of February, 1913.
to a small-ring sliding on said circular tongue, said chain being sufficiently long to DELOS GILLESPIE' 5 allow the handles of several keystobe linked In presence 0f 7' thereon. FRED A. MANSFIELD,
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto ISABEL HALL.
