Abstract
The multiple key fob holder is a case which stores a plurality of key fobs. The multiple key fob holder comprises a base, a cover, a master fastener, and a cord loop. The base and the cover form an enclosed containment structure within which the plurality of key fobs are contained. The base and the cover attach such that the cover rotates relative to the base. The master fastener attaches the base to the cover such that the containment structure can be secured in a closed position and unsecured to form an open position. The cord loop is a loop structure positioned at a location selected from the group consisting of: 1) the interior of the containment structure when the multiple key fob holder is in a closed position; and, 2) the exterior of the containment structure when the multiple key fob holder is in an open position.
Claims11
A storage apparatus for one or more key fobs comprising:
- a base, a cover, a master fastener, and a cord loop;
- wherein the base and the cover form a containment structure;
- wherein the containment structure is configured for use with a plurality of key fobs;
- wherein the enclosed containment structure contains the plurality of key fobs;
- wherein the base and the cover are permanently attached such that the cover rotates relative to the base;
- wherein the permanently attached is referred to as bound edges;
- wherein the storage apparatus for one or more key fobs is further defined with a closed position and an open position;
- wherein the master fastener attaches the base to the cover such that the containment structure can be secured in said closed position and unsecured to form said open position;
- wherein the cord loop is a loop structure;
- wherein the base is a plate structure;
- wherein the base forms a portion of the exterior surface of the containment structure;
- wherein the base is formed as a semi-rigid structure;
- wherein the plurality of key fobs attach to the base;
- wherein the base further comprises a plurality of holsters and a coin purse;
- wherein the plurality of holsters attach to the base;
- wherein the coin purse attaches to the base;
- wherein the base is further defined with a first interior surface;
- wherein the cover is a plate structure;
- wherein the cover forms a portion of the exterior surface of the containment structure;
- wherein the cover and the base are geometrically similar;
- wherein the cover folds on to the base to form the closed position;
- wherein the cord loop is a cord;
- wherein the cord loop forms a loop that attaches to a location selected from the group consisting of the base and the cover;
- wherein the cord loop is a flexible structure that takes a position selected from the group consisting of:
- a) the interior of the containment structure when the storage apparatus for one or more key fobs is in the closed position;
- and, b) the exterior of the containment structure when the storage apparatus for one or more key fobs is in the closed position;
- wherein each of the plurality of holsters secures a key fob selected from the plurality of key fobs to the base;
- wherein each of the plurality of holsters is an elastomeric structure;
- wherein each of the plurality of holsters are identical;
- wherein each of the plurality of holsters attach to the first interior surface of the base such that the plurality of holsters are contained within the interior of the containment space when the storage apparatus for one or more key fobs is closed;
- wherein the coin purse is a pocket;
- wherein the coin purse is formed on the first interior surface of the base;
- wherein each of the plurality of holsters comprises an elastic loop and a stay webbing;
- wherein the elastic loop is a webbing;
- wherein each free end of the elastic loop attaches to the base to form the loop structure of the elastic loop;
- wherein a primary sense of direction of the elastic loop is parallel to the bound edges of the cover and the base;
- wherein the elastic loop is an elastic webbing;
- wherein the elastic loop binds the elastic loop to the selected key fob;
- wherein the stay webbing is a rigid webbing;
- wherein the stay webbing attaches to the elastic loop;
- wherein the stay webbing attaches to the base;
- wherein the stay webbing prevents the selected key fob from sliding out of the elastic loop.
The storage apparatus for one or more key fobs according to claim
- wherein the base and the cover are formed from a single plate;
- wherein the single plate allows the cover to fold on to the base to form the closed position;
- wherein the single plate is a semi-rigid structure.
The storage apparatus for one or more key fobs according to claim
- wherein the master fastener is a hook and loop fastener;
- wherein the hook and loop fastener attaches the edge of the cover that is distal from the bound edges to the edge of the base that is distal from the bound edges;
- wherein the remaining edges of the cover and the base remain open into the interior of the containment structure when the storage apparatus for one or more key fobs is in the closed position.
