ABSTRACT:
A finger-retained key holder assemblage has been provided that will prevent the loss of keys when carrying the keys in the hand as in the dark or carrying bundles without having to close the fingers about the keys in the palm of the hand. This key assemblage is secured to the hand by a ring placed upon the third finger or by a button, disk or clip extended over two fingers, a chain depending from the disk and squeezed by the two fingers and a key-supporting bar lying under the fingers and clamped thereto. Keys are loosely suspended from the underside support bar. While the flexible assemblage is secured to the third finger or between fingers, an individual key can be easily selected and grasped by the thumb and forefinger of the same hand and made ready for use for projection into a key hole. As well, the fingers can be closed comfortably about the assemblage to further safely retain the keys in the hand. The overall length of the assemblage has been kept to a minimum so that the keys can be easily reached by thumb and finger to select the key and aim it toward a key hole, thrust it home and turn the lock, all without loss of the keys. The assemblage can include the finger ring or made to be clipped or detachably attached to the bottom of the band of any ring normally worn on the third finger of the hand for ornamental purposes. The key support bar thus can be made as a separate assembly and simply attached to any ring that stays on the finger whereby the need to provide different size rings for the assembly to fit a user's finger is easily eliminated. The ring assembly thus is usable with either a tight fitting ring or a loose fitting ring. Likewise, the button, disk or clip for the top of the two fingers can be of any style or ornamentation and preferably in the form of a clip so that the assemblage can be attached to the side of a pocket. Both the ring and disk has means for hanging the assemblage upon a wall hook when not in use. Both the ring and disk has means for retaining a coin.
