ABSTRACT:
A holder for keys or other orificed elements comprising a helical loop of a thin rigid but resilient element having overlapping end portions, said end portions being flattened to present faces abutting each other with at least one curved segment not in the plane of the loop nesting with the curved segment of the other end portion. When the sides of the loop adjacent the end portions are pressed inwardly towards each other, the curved segments are caused to unnest by camming action, thereby separating the tips of each end portion from contact with the other end portion so that a key or other orificed element may be threaded between the end portions and onto or off of the loop. Upon release of the pressure on the sides of the loop, the end portions return to their nesting position and any key or other orificed element may then be moved freely around the loop.
