ABSTRACT:
A retractable key holder having an external housing and an internal housing pivotably secured at least partially within the external housing by pivot pins, a retractable transverse spring biased pin that extends through substantially vertically aligned slots formed in the external and internal housing, an actuator button on each end of the retractable pin and positioned outside the external housing for access by a user, and a key ring attached to the spring biased pin. The user can retract keys secured on the key ring into the internal housing by retracting the retractable pin along the length of the slots and pivot the internal housing within external housing until the keys engage a sound buffering material within the external housing disposed to press against keys to prevent rattling of the retracted keys.
