ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to a key keeper comprising a key-retaining loop 3 with an opening 17 for the receipt of keys; said loop is connected to a loop holder 2 being slideably mounted within a housing 1. The loop is being closed if the holder is in its slid-in position, whereas the loop can be opened if the holder is partially slid out of the housing. Means are further provided for locking the holder in its slid-in position.
The means for locking the holder consist of a wheel 4, which is rotatably mounted in the housing, the rotation of which can be prevented by a snap connection 11. By rotating the wheel 4, the loop holder is displaced in or out of the housing 1.
