Description
June 3, 1947. 1. GELLER KEY HOLDER PLATE Filed May 15, 1945 INVENTOR. ISAAC GELLER BY g fw SM QQQ Attorn e Patented June 3, 1947 UNITEDFSTATES PATENT OFFICE 3 Claims.
This invention relates to a holder plate for a key ring having a head of the character disclosed in my Patent N0. 2,197,218. In that patent I disclosed the best holder plate I at that time knew how to make, but consider the plate of the present disclosure quite superior.
The objects are, as in all devices of the kind, to hold a keyring in a holder plate so that it swivels freely and moves through a half circle more or less, to extend outwardly for putting the contained key into use, or folds back flatly so the keys carried will make as compact a bundle as possible.
Originally, such key rings and holder plates were merely spring snaps, swivelly connected to a plate; but it is found that users, especially when they are in a hurry, are prone to open a door with a key. swing it open and step into the opening, meantime trying to take the key and its holder along with them, which usually results in wrecking the key holder or at least making the attached snap useless. Therefore, it is a further object to make my new holder plate so that it will successfully resist the strength a person may be able to exert by grasping a key holder with one hand, without any damage to the holder and yet will be so constructed that it is even easier than before to attach and detach a key ring of the type mentioned, with its key.
I accomplish these objects by the structure illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of my holder plate showing plural slots and key rings to be hereinafter described;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of the left hand side of Fig. 1, the key rings being omitted and the tubular member 2 rocked from its normal position;
Fig. 3 is a section at 3--3, Fig. 2; and
Fig. 4 is a section at 4-4 of the same figure, Fig. 2.
Further describing the drawings; l is a plate, rebent as at 3 to form a mounting for the tubular member 2. The turned up edge of the plate I between the mountings constitutes the guard [0, the purpose of which will be explained. The
'tubular member 2 is provided with cross slots 4 which terminate in enlarged holes 9 so the head 6 of a key ring shank,5 may enter and the shank slide in the slot. The holes 9 are shown uncovered in Fig. 2 and will be presumed to be the same in Fig. 1 with the head 6 about to be inserted; the finger handle 1 having been depressed, rocking the cylinder 2 for that purpose. The holes 9 are normally just covered by the cylinder guard in under influence of the spring 8, which in this embodiment of the device serves also to lock the cylinder 2 into the mountings 3 within which it is rockable by bending the spring as shown in Fig. 3. It also acts as a retainer for the cylinder 2 as shown.
The plate I will be secured to the usual folder, ordinarily leather, by the rivet holes shown in Fig. 1, but bearing no numerals.
It will be observed that when the holes 9 are guarded by the guard Ill, a stress up to the point where something must fail from overload will have no tendency to rock the tubular member 2 and if the user unconsciously holds tight to his key container, as he often will, and passing through a door slightly turns the key to establish heavy resistance, he will find he cannot pull the container apart and that is an important result of the new mounting, for the improved key ring not claimed here as it is patented to me in my patent hereinbefore referred to.
Having fully disclosed my key container plate, thus enabling the great natural strength of the key ring to be realized, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A key container plate rebent at one side to form opposite aligned cylinder mountings with a cylinder guard intermediate said mountings, a tubular cylinder mounted rockably in said mountings, said cylinder provided with cross slot key ring engaging means enlarged to receive a headed shank key ring at one end. said cylinder retained in said mountings by spring means that normally hold the enlarged portion of said slots behind the cylinder guard.
2. A key container plate for engaging a plurality of key rings having headed shank cooperative engaging means comprising a plate member embodying a mounting for a cylinder to hold it parallel with one side thereof, with a cylinder guard intermediate the ends of the cylinder mounting, a tubular cylinder rockably engageable with said mounting in juxtaposition with said guard, said cylinder characterized by a cross slot terminating in an enlarged hole for each key ring and spring means for retaining the cylinder in the mounting and urging its rotation to keep the enlarged holes behind the guard.
3. A key container plate having a cross slotted tubular member rookably mounted parallel to one of its sides, said cross slots provided with an enlarged hole at one end of each slot, said enlarged holes adapted to admit the head member of a headed shank key ring for the shank to slide in the slot, said mounting comprising a pair of spaced end loops made integral with said plate REFERENCES CITED to contain said tubular member, one of said loops The following e e enc s a e o re ord in the and the tubular member provided with registerfile Of this P t t! ing openings, and an elongated spring member 5 that reaches through said openings with one end UNITED STATES PATENTS 7 thereof and is attached to the plate by its other Number Name Date end to resiliently hold said rockable tubular mem- 2,197,217 Geller Apr. 16, 1940 her in operative normal position. 1,922,755 Buxton Aug. 15, 1933 ISAAC GELLER. 1o
