A retaining arrangement for retaining a key holder of a type comprising a tag suspended from a ring with the ring also holding at least one key, the retaining arrangement including:
- a surface defining element;
- and
- at least one retaining means defined by the surface defining element, the at least one retaining means being shaped and dimensioned to receive the tag of the key holder through it such that the key of the key holder lies on one side of the surface defining element and the tag lies on an opposed, operatively outer side of the surface defining element.
The arrangement of any one of the preceding claims in which a plurality of slots is defined in the surface defining element so that the surface defining element can hold a number of key holders.
The arrangement of any one of the preceding claims in which the surface defining element includes a mounting formation for mounting it to a support structure.
The arrangement of any one of the preceding claims in which, where the key holder holds a key having a thickness approximating that of the tag, an excluder element is mounted on the ring of the key holder, the excluder element, in use, being arranged on said one side of the surface defining element.
