Abstract
A disclosed device may have a clamping mechanism operably coupled to a rotatable positioning mechanism, the clamping mechanism being intended to retain a position of at least one key. The device is shaped such that additional torque can be applied to the key when rotating the key when inserted in a lock. In some embodiments, a light source may be included with the device.
Claims15
A key grip device comprising:
- a device body comprising a first surface and a second surface with the second surface being opposite the first surface, wherein the first surface comprises a planar surface and a raised surface;
- a clamping mechanism operably coupled to a rotatable positioning mechanism, the clamping mechanism being configured to retain a position of at least one key, wherein rotation of the rotatable positioning mechanism causes the clamping mechanism to move relative to a position of the device body to apply a force to the at least one key to retain the at least one key within a slot of the device body;
- a locking mechanism comprising a depressible button, the locking mechanism being configured to engage a securement mechanism and maintain a position of the clamping mechanism,
- wherein depression of the depressible button disengages or engages the securement mechanism with the rotatable positioning mechanism, and
- wherein the securement mechanism prevents movement of the clamping mechanism once engaged and permits movement of the clamping mechanism once disengaged;
- and
- at least one light source contained within the raised surface.

A key grip device comprising:
- a quadrilateral device body comprising a first surface and a second surface with the second surface being opposite the first surface, wherein the first surface comprises a planar surface and a rounded raised surface;
- a clamping mechanism operably coupled to a rotatable positioning mechanism, wherein rotation of the rotatable positioning mechanism causes the clamping mechanism to raise or lower relative to a position of the quadrilateral device body to apply force to a key to retain the key within a slot of the quadrilateral device body;
- a depressible locking mechanism comprising a depressible button, the depressible locking mechanism being configured to engage a securement mechanism and maintain a position of the clamping mechanism,
- wherein depression of the depressible button disengages or engages the securement mechanism with the rotatable positioning mechanism, and
- wherein the securement mechanism prevents movement of the clamping mechanism once engaged and permits movement of the clamping mechanism once disengaged;
- and
- a spring-loaded arm configured to enable a key ring to be coupled to the device;
- and at least one light source contained within the rounded raised surface, wherein the at least one light source is squeezably operated.
5 more elements
A key grip device comprising:
- a quadrilateral device body covered in a gel-based material, the quadrilateral device body comprising a first surface, at least one side surface, and a second surface with the second surface being opposite the first surface,
- wherein the first surface comprises a planar surface and a rounded raised surface, with the rounded raised surface being disposed on a first side of the planar surface, and
- wherein there is at least one slot disposed in the at least one side surface;
- at least one clamping wall operably coupled to a rotatable positioning mechanism, wherein rotation of the rotatable positioning mechanism causes the at least one clamping wall to raise or lower relative to a position of the quadrilateral device body to apply a force to a key to retain the key within the at least one slot;
- a depressible button configured to lock a position of the at least one clamping wall,
- wherein depression of the depressible button disengages or engages a securement mechanism with the rotatable positioning mechanism, and
- wherein the securement mechanism prevents movement of the clamping mechanism once engaged and permits movement of the clamping mechanism once disengaged;
- a spring-loaded arm configured to enable a key ring to be coupled to the key grip device;
- and
- at least one light source configured to emit light proximate to the at least one slot.
