PURSE LINING SUPPORTED KEY HOLDER Filed May 22, 1959 INVENT OR.
United States Patent 3,025,580 PURSE LINING SUPPGRTEI) KEY HOLDER Hilda H. Castle, 6810 W. 66th Terrace, Overland Park, Kans. Filed May 22, 1959, Ser. No. 815,185 1 Claim. (Cl. 2413) The present invention relates to a key holder for attachment to the lining of a purse.
Ladies purses presently in use are employed to contain a relatively large number of articles deemed necessary to the daily habits of the owners. Key supports in cases or in the form of rings and the like, are in common use and are generally employed to keep together keys, commonly used every day, such as the keys to an automobile. An infrequently used key, such as a key to an office, church, or the like, and not generally in the custody of the owner of such a purse, is most conveniently kept separate and not attached to a support in a case or on a ring as it is desired to avoid confusion in the identity and use of such a key. However, when a single key is dropped into such a purse, the key frequently becomes lost among the numerous articles contained in the purse.
An object of the present invention is to provide a key holder for attachment to the lining of a purse which will support a single key or a pair of keys in a convenient location readily accessible to the user of such a purse and in a position where it will not become lost among the numerous articles contained in such a purse.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a key holder for attachment to the lining of a purse which lends itself to attachment to the lining of a purse with ease and facility and in such a manner as to become a permanent fixture within the purse, and one easily transferred to another purse.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a key holder for attachment to the lining of a purse which lends itself to manufacture in many forms and at reasonable cost, one sturdy in construction and having relatively long-life characteristics, and one which is economically feasible.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will be fully apparent from the following description when taken in conjunction with the annexed drawing, in which:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a ladys purse with the key holder of the present invention installed therein on the lining within the purse, the purse being shown in open condition;
FIGURE 2 is an elevational view of the key holder attached to the lining of a purse, the purse being shown broken away, with three keys supported in the key holder;
FIGURE 3 is a view taken on the line 3--3 of FIG- URE 2;
FIGURE 4 is an elevational view of the reverse side of the key holder removed from the purse;
FIGURE 5 is a view taken on the line 5-5 of FIG- URE 2; and
FIGURE 6 is an elevational view of the front side of a modified form of the key holder according to the present invention.
Referring in greater detail to the drawing in which like numerals indicate like parts throughout the several views, the reference numeral 10 designates generally a ladys purse having upstanding sides 12 and 14 and a lining 16 extending about the interior of the sides and bottom of the purse 10. Handles 18 project upwardly from the exterior walls of the purse 10 above the open top of the latter.
The key holder of the present invention is designated generally by the reference numeral 20 and comprises a backing member in the form of a rigid plate 22 fabricated of metal, plastic, or the like.
A prong element in the form of a resilient pin 24 is positioned inwardly of each side edge of the plate 22 on one face of the backing member or plate 22. The pins 24 are in parallel spaced relation and have, as seen in FIGURE 4, their upper end portions flattened as at 26, and secured by welding or soldering to the one face of the plate 22 adjacent the upper edge of the latter.
A midpart, as at 28 in FIGURE 3, of each pin 24 curves backwardly toward the one face of the plate 22 so as to frictionally engage the lining 16 when the point 30 of the pin 24 has penetrated the lining 16 and the plate 22 positioned in abutting face to face relation with respect to the lining 16.
Abutting means, in the form of a pair of elongated horizontally disposed loops arranged in end to end relation, as designated by the numeral 32, are positioned on the face of the backing member or plate 22 opposite to the pins 24 and each is adapted to have the shank of a key 34 inserted and supported therein when the plate 22 is positioned in abutting relation with respect to the lining 16 of the purse 10.
Each of the loops 32 is formed by providing parallel slots in the plate 22 and deforming forwardly the material of the plate 22 between the slots, as shown most clearly in FIGURE 5.
In FIGURE 4, showing the reverse face of the plate 22, the reverse side of each loop 32 is shown, and the slots are designated by the numerals 36 and 38 defining the bottom and upper edges of the loop 32.
In FIGURE 6 is shown a modified form of the key holder of the present invention, designated generally by the reference numeral 20' and in which on one face of the plate 22 are loops 32 arranged at opposite angles to the horizontal and each adapted to have the shank '40 of a key 42 inserted and supported therein with the heads 44 of the keys 42 converging toward each other. The other side of the plate 22 is provided with pins 24 identical in respect to the pins 24 previously described.
In use, the key holder 20, 28' of the present invention is readily attached to the lining 16 on either the side 12 or side 14 of a purse 10 with the pins 24, 24' penetrating the lining 16 and with the respective parts 28 of the pins 24, 24 frictionally engaging the lining 16 and securing the plate 22, 22 in abutting relation with respect to the lining 16.
A key 34, 42, is easily inserted into one of the loops 32, 32 so that the shank of such key extends through the loop 32, 32', or one key of a pair of attached keys may be supported on the plate 22, 22 with the shank of one key inserted in one of the loops 32, 32'.
When so used, the key holder 20, 20 of the present invention supports one or more keys in a position readily accessible to the user of the purse 10 and avoids the losing of the key among the numerous articles contained within the purse 10 as would happen if a single key were dropped into the purse 1t) among such articles.
The resilient pin 24 may be omitted from the backing member and the device attached to the inside of a purse made of leather or other material by use of an adhesive or other appropriate attachment or made as a component part or member of the purse.
What is claimed is:
For use with the lining of an upstanding side of a purse, a key holder comprising a rigid backing member adapted to be positioned so that one face abuts said lining, a prong element embodying a resilient pin carried by said backing member one face and penetrating said lining when the backing member is positioned in abutting relation with respect to said lining for retaining said backing member in position on said lining, the mid-part of said pin being curved backwardly toward said member one face and frictionally engaging said lining when the pin has penetrated the lining and the member is positioned in abutting face-to-face relation With respect to the lining, and supporting means embodying a pair of elongated loops arranged at opposite angles to the horizontal projecting from the other face of said backing member and each adapted to have the shank of a key inserted and supported therein with the heads of the keys converging toward each other When said backing member is positioned in abutting relation with respect to said lining.
