Flat card for dispensing keys

Abstract

The invention is a flat card structure having one or more holes through its planar surfaces enabling one or more keys to be bound to the flat card structure using two-part attachment fixtures. The keys on each planar surface are coplanar in a plane parallel to the card's planar surface. The keys may be rotated so as to be used to open a lock, and then rotated back into stored position wherein no key portion extends beyond the card's dimensions. The card with keys attached and in stored position can fit in card pockets of wallets and card cases.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A key dispensing system comprising:
 a rectangular card having two parallel planar surfaces;   at least one hole through both said two parallel planar surfaces;   said at least one hole is essentially perpendicular to said two parallel planar surfaces; and   at least one attachment fixture comprising two mating portions such that said mating portions extend into said at least one hole and are terminated by capping structures whose diameters are larger than diameter of said at least one hole through both said two parallel planar surface, and which capping structures, after attachment, are located on opposite sides of said two parallel planar surfaces.   
     
     
         2 . A claim as in  claim 1  further comprising
 said rectangular card's longest dimension is limited by a range of 3.0 to 4.0 inches; and 
 said rectangular card's shortest dimension is limited by a range of 2.0 to 2.5 inches.
