ABSTRACT:
A key holder is provided which includes a plurality of resilient, generally S-shaped key partitions arranged in a pack and generally disposed in spaced-apart, parallel relationship. Each of the partitions having two opposite end portions which are joined together by a sloping intermediate portion, and the end portions of adjacent partitions defining key head-receiving slots therebetween. A plurality of partition spacers are also provided, each of which is disposed solely between the intermediate portions of an adjacent pair of the partitions. The key holder also includes a pair of generally S-shaped side plates, each of which is disposed on an opposite side of the pack of partitions. Each of the side plates have two opposite end portions which are joined together by a sloping intermediate portion, which are in substantial alignment with the end and intermediate portions of the partitions. The intermediate portions of the side plates extend laterally outward beyond the lateral sides of the intermediate portions of the partitions so as to define uninterrupted key bit-receiving channels on either lateral side of the intermediate portions of the partitions. The key heads of a plurality of keys are demountably and pivotably secured in the key slots under adjustable frictional tension so as to permit the keys to be individually pivoted between a non-operative position, in which the key bit thereof lies within the uninterrupted key bit-receiving channel, and an operative position, in which the key bit is pivoted completely out of the channel.
