CHARLES E. VAN NORMAN, OF XVALTIIAM, MASSACHUSETTS.
KEY-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 409,255, dated August 20, 1889.
Application filed January 24, 1889. Serial No. 297,341-- (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that 1, CHARLES E. VAN Non- MAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of \Valtham, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Keyllolders, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanyin drawings,is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in key-holders; and it is carried out as follows, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 represents a detail perspective view of the improved key-holder and Fig. 2 represents it in use on a chain having keys suspended thereon.
Similar letters refer to similar parts whereever they occur on the different parts of the drawings.
The improved key-holder is preferably made of bent wire, and has in its lower end a loop or eye a adapted to be connected permanently to one end of the chain Z), on which the keys 0 are located. Above or near the loop or eye a the wire is bent in the form of a laterally-proj eeting loop enlargement or cross-bar a, which serves as a means for preventing the keys from dropping off the chain 1) when the other end of the latter is temporarily det ied from the key-holder while keys are being removed from or placed on the said chain. One end of the eye a extends upward in the form of aspringhook, clasp, or bail a, the bend of which serves for connecting to it one end of the chain 7), as shown, and the free end of said hook is adapted, preferably, to lie in contact with the crossbar or lateral extension at with a proper amount of yielding spring-pressure, so as to prevent the chain end from being detached from the bail or hook a except when manipulated by the operator for such purpose.
\Vhat I wish to secure by Letters Patent, and claim, is
The key-holder consisting of chain 1), the locking device, as described, having an eye a attached to one end of said chain, a crossbar or lateral extension a, and a spring bail or hook a", adapted to be locked to the opposite end of the said chain, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, on this 22d day of January, A. D. 1889.
