Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1 showing a second form of key holder.

Figure 4 is a section on the line 41 of Figure 3 but showing how one key hook may be arranged on one side of the supporting plate and another on the opposite side.

lar in shape. In Figures 1 and 2 the form there disclosed is provided with openings near one of its shorter edges which are reinforced by eyelets 11 while in Figures 3 and 4 similar'openings are arranged in pairs, the openings of each pair being closed together and provided'with eyelets 12.

In the form of the device shown in Figures 6 to 8 there is provided a metal plate 13 having one end straight and rolled over to form a tubular bead whichis slit at one or more placesas indicated at 14 to provide one or more ring receiving eyes 15. The other end of this plate is provided with a key hole slot 16 for attachment of the plate to a trousers button or the like. Each of these forms is employed witha key holder consisting of a ring 17 having a radially extending shank 18 on which is swiveled a keyhook 19, the portion of the shank extending through the hook being flattened as at 20 to prevent separation of the hook and ring. v

Now, these openings being near the top the hook can lie on one side or the other of the plate 10 as clearly shown in Figure 2, being simply swung to either side. In the form shown in Figures 3 and 4 each ring is engaged through a pair of eyelets and may be positioned on either side of the'plate 10 but cannot be shifted from one side to the other. In the forms shown in Figures 6 to 8 the ring is engaged in the respective eye 15.

In each of these forms there may be provided on one or both faces of the plate advertising matter as indicated at 21 and a registration number as indicated at 22.

There has thus been provided a simple and eflicient device of the kind described and for the purpose specified.

It is obvious that minor changes may be made in the form and construction of the invention without departing from the material spirit thereof.
