ABSTRACT:
A key locator allows identification of a given key on a key ring. A flexible tab, or strip of leather or similar material, is folded around the end of a key, and a spring clip holds the strip in place on the key. Holes through both the tab and the clip allow the key to be placed on a conventional key ring in conventional fashion. The tab extends beyond the key and includes a unique identifier so a given key can be easily selected from a group of keys. Several key locators can be placed on keys on the same key ring, and different identifiers can be used on each locator. The locators can be determined by feel alone, and are easily grasped while wearing gloves and the like.
