Key holder

Abstract

The present invention, as it is expressed in the statement of this descriptive memory, refers to a key holder that has the purpose of grouping inside a box several keys in a form totally gathered occupying a reduced volume, so that when one is going to utilize one of the keys, the extraction of the key will be done in automatic manner by pressuring over a spring button, the key staying always attached to that box. It is made up of a box in whose interior are located various modules which are superimposed and stacked leading keys via independent ways which allow the gathering of the keys and also their extraction through turning of keys to the exterior for their usage. The application also can be extended to a set of screwdrivers, to a set of utensils, etc.

1 .—KEYHOLDER, that being a carrier of several keys, it characterizes itself because it is made up of a set of modules ( 4 ) of little height superimposed and stacked, and arranged at least between a higher base ( 5 ) and a lower base ( 5 ′), at the same time that each of those modules is a carrier of a key associated to its respective module through a device of anchorage and liberation ( 7 ) of the respective key ( 6 ) so that in an extreme position the key remains hidden inside the respective module, whereas in another usage position at least the body of the key shows by outside from a lateral point of the module.  
   
   
       2 .—KEYHOLDER, according to the  claim 1 , characterized because the device of anchorage and liberation is determined to start from a spring in spiral ( 15 ), whose extremes are fixed in a short fixed axis ( 8 ) where it adapts by uniting the head of the key ( 6 ) by mediation of a greater orifice ( 9 ), while the extreme opposite of that spring in spiral ( 15 ) it fixes itself to a short pin ( 13 ) associated also to the head of the key ( 6 ) by mediation of minor orifice  12 , in proximity to the greater orifice ( 9 ), being adjusted and guided of said pin ( 13 ) in an arched groove ( 14 ), including also some elements of coupling of the extreme positions of the key that are supportive of two rods that converge on a spring push button ( 17 ), as it is pressed down the coupling of the key is liberated, everything in order to be able to put the key in the exterior position of usage pressing the spring button ( 17 ) through the spring in spiral ( 15 ) and also be able to place the key in the collected position inside of the module pushing with the hand, against the resistance of that same spring in spiral ( 15 ).  
   
   
       3 .—KEYHOLDER, according to the  claim 2 , characterized because the push buttons ( 17 ) are located in the in the interior hole of some prismatic portions ( 20 ) supportive of the modules ( 4 ), appearing said push buttons above the upper base ( 5 ), so that the prismatic portions ( 20 ) increase its height as the modules find themselves in lower levels, counting for it the modules with complementary entrants ( 21 ) where they are inserted part of such prismatic portions ( 20 ).  
   
   
       4 .—KEYHOLDER, according to  claim 2 , characterized because the modules ( 4 ) are part of a flat base of a rectangular form and two adjacent lateral walls, counting the flat base with the short axis ( 8 ) of joint of the key ( 6 ) with the arched groove ( 14 ), at the same time that the lower face of such flat base includes two furrows ( 24 ) where two rods that converge are located on the push button ( 17 ).  
   
   
       5 .—KEYHOLDER, according to  claim 2 , characterized because the minor orifices ( 12 ) where the short pins are adjusted ( 13 ) are located in a radial extension ( 11 ) which are part of some wrapped cases ( 10 ) adapted in the keys' heads ( 6 ).  
   
   
       6 .—KEYHOLDER, according to claims  2  and  4  characterized because the elements of coupling consist in some wedges ( 19 ) with flats inclines located in the extremes of the arched groove ( 14 ) established in the flat base of the respective module ( 4 ).  
   
   
       7 .—KEYHOLDER, according to claims  2  and  4 , characterized by the elements of coupling consist in some extreme pins ( 27 ) guided in some orifices ( 28 ) located in the flat base of the modules ( 4 ), being complemented with said pins ( 27 ) with a second orifice ( 29 ) located in the radial ( 1   1 ) extension of the case ( 10 ) of the key ( 6 ), putting such pins in convex portions, including in addition to the case an arched portion ( 32 ), one of which extreme pieces constitute the radial extension ( 11 ), everything in itself in order to avoid interruptions during the turning of the key ( 6 ).  
   
   
       8 .—KEYHOLDER, according to  claim 1 , characterized because the modules ( 4 ) and upper bases ( 5 ) and lower ( 5 ′) are united among themselves through narrow rods ( 30 ) which adjust themselves in complementary drillings ( 31 ) established in perimetrical portions of those modules ( 4 ) and bases ( 5 , 5 ′).  
   
   
       9 .—KEYHOLDER, according to the  claim 1 , characterized because the modules ( 4 ) are located inside a box ( 1 ) which is made up of two contiguous lateral walls, one higher base and another lower base.  
   
   
       10 .—KEYHOLDER, according to the  claim 9 , characterized because the lateral walls of the box ( 1 ) and modules ( 4 ) include nerves ( 3 ) and channels ( 2 ) complementary of guidance and connection among themselves.  
   
   
       11 .—KEYHOLDER, according to any of the claims  4  and  9 , characterized because the flat bases of the modules ( 4 ), the same as the upper bases ( 5 ) and lower ( 5 ′) are affected by a lower arched ( 23 ) confronting each other.  
   
   
       12 .—KEYHOLDER, according to  claim 2 , characterized because the box ( 1 ) is made of a parallel configuration, whose upper base ( 5 ) can be disassembled, at the same time that it does not have two contiguous lateral walls.  
   
   
       13 .—KEYHOLDER, according to  claim 2 , characterized because the short vertical axis ( 8 ) includes a finger button ( 26 ) at half height of the seat of the head of the key ( 6 ).
