Abstract
A key ring holder of the type designed to be supported by a belt, including an elongated loop member adapted to surround and be retained by a belt, the loop member having secured thereto an eye which projects outwardly from the loop member and which carries a spring clip for holding a key ring spaced outwardly from the body of the wearer. The outer wall of the loop member preferably diverges outwardly from the inner wall from the top to the bottom so that it can be used for belts of different thicknesses. In one form, the ring may have secured thereto by means of a flexible wire a second ring so as to permit dividing the keys into two groups each of which is carried by a separate ring.
Claims5
A key ring holder comprising:
- an elongated closed loop member designed to have a belt passed therethrough for support of said loop member by the belt and which can be withdrawn from the belt only by longitudinal movement thereof off of the end of the belt;
- said loop member having inner and outer walls joined by top and bottom walls and spaced apart sufficiently to accommodate a belt therebetween and of a length sufficiently great to provide for the full width of such a belt within said loop member, said outer wall of said loop member diverging outwardly from said inner wall from top to bottom;
- an eye member having a shank extending along and secured to the bottom of said loop member and an eye portion, said eye portion extending outwardly from said shank in such a manner to extend outwardly and downwardly from the outer wall of said loop member with the entire eye portion being disposed beyond said outer wall;
- and a spring hook suspended from the outer lowermost portion of said eye member so as to be spaced transversely from the inner wall of said loop member and hence from the body of the wearer, said spring hook being adapted to receive a key ring upon yieldable opening of said hook.
