Double ended key holder with disconnect

A key chain assembly for retaining a key, the key chain assembly comprising:

• a body member, including, at least, a body first end, a body second end, and a body side, wherein said body member defines a cavity therein;
• a button member movably disposed within said cavity and defining a button aperture;
• a sleeve member disposed within said cavity and defining a sleeve bore therethrough,
• wherein said button member moves relative to said sleeve member,
• wherein said sleeve member is connected to said body member and extends into said button aperture,
• wherein said sleeve member contacts said button member to restrict movement of said button member, and
• wherein said sleeve bore is accessible at said body first end;
• and
• an insert member removably housed within said sleeve bore, wherein said button member engages said insert member to releasably attach said insert member to said body member;
• and
• a retention means connected to said insert member for retaining the key.

A latching assembly comprising:

• a first body member, including, at least, a body first end, a body second end, and a body side, wherein said body member defines a cavity extending into said body member and accessible from said body first end;
• an insert member removably insertable into said cavity, wherein an inserted configuration is defined when said insert member is inserted into said cavity;
• a second body movably disposed within said cavity,
• wherein said second body defines an aperture,
• wherein said second body is movable between a first position and an second position within said cavity,
• wherein when said insert member is in said inserted configuration and said second body is in said first position, said second body engages said insert member to resist withdrawal of said insert member from said cavity, and
• wherein when said insert member is in said inserted configuration and said second body is in said second position, said second body cooperates with said insert member to allow ready withdrawal of said insert member from said cavity;
• and
• restriction means cooperating with said aperture and said second body for restricting movement of said second body between said first position and said second position.

A key chain assembly comprising:

• a first body member, including, at least, a body first end, a body second end, and a body side, wherein said body member defines a cavity therein that is accessible at said body first end;
• an insert member for insertion into and removal from said cavity;
• a collar member disposed within said cavity and connected to said first body member for movement between a first position and a second position,
• wherein when said insert member is inserted into said cavity and said collar member is in said first position, said collar member at least partially encircles and engages said insert member to resist withdrawal of said insert member from said cavity, and
• wherein when said insert member is inserted into said cavity and said collar member is in said second position, said collar member cooperates with said insert member to allow ready withdrawal of said insert member from said cavity;
• an object connected to said first body member,
• wherein said collar member moves relative to, at least partially encircles, and contacts said object, and
• wherein said contact between said object and said collar member restricts movement of said collar member and retains attachment of said collar member to said first body member when said insert member is removed from said cavity;
• and
• a key retention means connected to said insert member.
