Abstract
An integrally formed resilient holder is configured in the form of a two-turn spiral ring body with an elongated configuration. The holder includes an upper loop and a lower loop having a size substantially different from that of the upper loop, such that pivot points are created at which the upper loop and the lower loop intersect each other. In the light of its deformability, the holder can be easily triggered to open up an entry port through which keys or rings may be introduced or removed by a simple press from the user. The holder is of high durability and versatility and is cost-effectiveness accordingly.
Claims10
A keyring holder comprising:
- an integrally formed resilient ring body, wound spirally downwards from a first end portion extending continuously and terminated at a second end portion;
- wherein the ring body comprises a first section constituted by the first end portion and the second end portion, a second section arranged opposite to the first section, and two side sections connecting the first section to the second section, and wherein the first end portion and the second end portion are configured to abut against each other in an upward-downward direction when the ring body is not subjected to an external force;
- and
- wherein a lower loop is proximal to the first section and an upper loop is proximal to the second section, the lower loop is substantially greater than the upper loop in terms of areas enclosed thereby and is arranged in contact with the upper loop on the two side sections at two pivot points proximal to the second section, and wherein the second section has a gap in the upward-downward direction to constitute a press portion facing towards the second section, so that the first end portion is levered upward about the two pivot points to move away from the second end portion as the press portion is forced to move downward.
