ABSTRACT:
A receptacle for a key comprises a casing defining an interior space for receiving a key. The casing is formed at one end with an opening through which the key can be introduced into the interior space, with its operating portion first, and at its opposite end with an opening large enough to allow the operating portion of the key to project therethrough while the gripping portion of the key remains in the interior space. The casing has a main face which is formed with a slot-form opening extending substantially the entire distance between the opposite ends of the casing. The receptacle also comprises a key push member which can be fitted in the slot so that it engages the gripping portion of the key in the interior space but has a part which is disposed to be manually accessible from outside the casing, whereby the key push member can be actuated manually to slide the key in the interior space between a retracted position, in which the key lies substantially wholly within the interior space, and a projecting position, in which the operating portion of the key projects from the casing.
