ABSTRACT:
A key holder is for keys with standardized heads of about the same width as standard key blades. The key holder includes a casing which has a flat base wall and a plurality of parallel, spaced-apart, elongated key compartment side walls extending integrally upwardly from the base wall to form a plurality of parallel key compartments. Keys are pivotally mounted in outer end portions of the key compartment side walls on removable cap screws and are pivotable about openings in the key heads and these cap screws from storage position inside of the casing to position for use of the key outside of the casing. Leaf springs, one in each key compartment, push the keys against the side walls with sufficient force to frictionally hold the keys in place each within its own key compartment whether or not one or the other of the cap screws is temporarily removed to insert or remove other keys. Each leaf spring also exerts sufficient force against its key to frictionally hold the key in whatever position the key is positioned by the user. Key movement fingers, one in each key compartment, are pivotally mounted about their center portions in position where upward movement of only one end of only one such finger will access only one key to move it from the storage position to a position where it can be accessed manually and pivoted out for use.
