ABSTRACT:
A key holder includes a generally flat base element whose length is substantially the same as or greater than the length of a conventional automobile or house key. One or more arms are hingedly attached at one end to an edge of the base element to fole in overlying relationship with the element. A key may be coupled to the free end of the arm in such a manner that the key can be folded generally flat against the arm between the arm and the base element. If more than one arm is provided, alternate ones of the arms are attached to one side of the base element and the remaining arms are attached to the other side so that when the arms are folded over the base, they lie in a generally parallel relationship to one another. In an alternative arrangement, keys may be held generally flat against the base element by a series of loops disposed on the element and into which the keys may be inserted. Loops are formed on both sides of the base element so that keys may be held in place on both sides. In still another alternative arrangement, the key holder includes a case having generally parallel top and bottom walls, at least one arm hingedly attached at one end to one side of the case to pivot toward and away from the case, and a coupling element for coupling a key to the free end of the arm in such a way that the key may be folded to a position between the arm and the case to be received between the top and bottom walls when the arm is pivoted toward the case.
