FIG. 7 is a fragmentary sectional view taken from the 3,266,501 line 77 of FIG. 5. COIN AND KEY HOLDER As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings, the coin Donald Hankey z i Land Dnve and key holder of the present invention is provided with Filed g b gg; 438 596 a body member which may be made of plastic, metal 7 i f 133 6) or other material.

'4; and due to the fact that dimes may assume a diameterand 3 position as indicated by broken lines A in FIG. 4 of the drawings, and yet be retained by the coin retaining members 66 and 68. At the same time nickels may be held in the cavity and they may be of such diameter as to fit quite closely within the confines of the cavity 42 It will be seen that a key or keys 76 may be posltioned on the wire loop 58 and that the coin retain ng portions 66 and 68 are disposed in a converging relation from the loop 58 and are converged inwardly toward the body 40 when in a removed broken line position B shown in FIG. 4 of the drawings. When the converging coin retaining elements 66 and 68 are in the broken line position B, it will be seen that resilient character of the loop 58 tend to hold these portions apart as well as the detent portions 60, so that normal resilient tendency of the loop 58 is to hold the detent portions 60 apart and in engagement with the ledges 62 and 64 and within the recesses 50 and 52 in order that the body be efiiciently and rigidly retained on the loop 58.
When it is desired to remove the loop 58 from the body 40, the loop may be squeezed together, thereby forcing the detent portions 60 closer together and releasing them from the ledges 62 and 64.
When it is desired to replace the loop 58, it may be forced in a direction of an arrow C in FIG. 4 of the drawings, whereby the converging coin retaining portions 66 and 68 pass into the slotted portion 48 and engage the recesses 50 and 52 and are, thus, cammed closer together until the detent portions 60 snap into position in engagement with the ledge portions 62 and 64, hereinbefore described.
The detail of the recess portions 62 and 64 is illustrated in FIG. 7, showing the structure in section and illustrating one detent portion 60 firmly engaged with a ledge 64 and showing the respective integral portion of the loop portion engaged in the recess 52 at one side of the slotted portion 48.
It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that operation simplicity and economy of the coin and key holder, in accordance with the present invention, is advantageous and that several keys may be retained on the loop 58 and may be removed without having the keys readily accidentally displaced from the loop, while coins are being removed from the cavity 42. This is due to the fact that the coin retaining portions 66 and 68 are disposed in converging relationship and that their opposite ends do not readily permit keys to reach the space between them, due in part to the joggled portion 60 and to the slight spaced relationship of the ends 70 and 72 when the loop member is removed from the body 40.
It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications of the present invention may be resorted to in a manner limited only by a just interpretation of the following claims.
I claim:
