ABSTRACT:
A key ring assembly includes first and second half bodies which are coupled together, a pivot member pivotably received between the first and second half bodies and having a retainer movably received therein, a biasing member having a first pressing end abutting against the retaining arm and a second pressing end adjustably engaged with an arcuate rib formed on the first half body. With such an arrangement, the retainer extends through a channel in the pivot member and a trough in the arcuate rib and selectively extends into a sliding groove between the first and second half bodies, so that key fasteners are able to be confined in the sliding groove and freely leave the confinement of the key ring assembly only when desired.
