ABSTRACT:
A key holder is provided that includes an upper housing connected to a lower housing, such that the upper and lower housings together form a key housing. A turn table for receiving a key having an end portion is attached to the key housing. The turn table is movable between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position the key end portion is retracted within the key housing and in the second position the key end portion extends from the key housing. The key housing includes a slot between the upper and lower housings for allowing movement of the key end portion when the turn table is moved between the first and second positions. A locking device is attached to the key housing and lockingly engages the turn table when the turn table is in the first position. A push button is moveable to cause the locking device to disengage the turn table, allowing the turn table to rotate from the first position to the second position.
