Abstract
A key holder and belt attachment device having a body with two legs and a push button in the second leg of the body. The push button is mounted and slidable within the second leg to abut a swinging catch member which allows removal of the belt from a U-shaped slot created by the legs of the body. The swinging catch member is pivotally attached to the second leg and may be biased to the closed position where the belt is held within the slot of the body. The spring-biased push button may close off a second opening of the body which retains keys.
Claims20
A belt attachment device for holding keys and wearing on a belt, the belt attachment device comprising:
- a body having first and second legs defining a slot for slidely engaging the belt;
- a push rod extended through and slidably located in the second leg of the body, the push rod having first and second ends;
- and
- a latch pivotally connected to the second leg to pivot with respect to the second leg, the latch having a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion extends toward the first leg at an acute angle with respect to the second leg, and when the second end of the push rod abuts against the second portion of the latch, the first portion of the latch pivots toward the second leg to maintain an open position to allow the belt to slide into the slot.
A belt attachment device for holding keys and wearing on a belt, the belt attachment device comprising:
- a body having a U-shaped slot for sliding onto the belt, the slot defined by first and second legs, the body further having a key retainer portion;
- a push rod slidably extending through the second leg of the body, the push rod having first and second ends, wherein the first end abuts against the key retainer portion to form an enclosed loop;
- a spring located in the second leg and in surrounding relation to the push rod to bias the first end of the push rod to abut against the key retainer portion;
- and
- a latch pivotally connected to a lower end of the second leg to pivot with respect to the second leg to define at least one of open and closed positions, the latch having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion extending toward the first leg at an acute angle with respect to the second leg to prevent the belt from escaping from the slot.
A belt attachment device for holding keys and wearing on a belt, the belt attachment device comprising:
- a body having a first and second legs defining a U-shaped slot for slidely engaging the belt;
- a push rod extended through and slidably located in the second leg of the body, the push rod having first and second ends;
- and
- a latch pivotally connected to the push rod to pivot with respect to the push rod while moving along the length of the second leg, wherein when the push rod is pulled from the body, the latch is extended toward the first leg of the body to form an acute angle with respect to the second leg to prevent the belt from slipping, and when the push rod is pushed toward the body, the latch folds inside the second leg to allow the belt to be removed from the body.
