ABSTRACT:
A key retainer, primarily having the facility for manually manipulating a key from a stored, inoperative position to a partially stored operation position, is disclosed. The key retainer includes a top planar semi-flexible member and bottom planar semi-flexible member, both of which are joined to one another generally, along their perimeters and vertical center lines, to form two adjacent key storing facilities. Each key storing facility is provided with a key receiving slot for inserting a key within the key storing facility, and a finger-manipulating aperture for manually transferring the key from a stored position to a partially stored operative position through an opening provided in the joining means. A major advantage of the key retaining arrangement, is the absence of key connecting devices usually associated with key retainers.
