Abstract: A ring serves as a retaining device for objects. A gate on the ring opens to receive objects that move on one specified axis of direction for entry and retainment. A gate on the ring opens to dispense a retained object that is moving on a separate specified axis from that on which it entered. Depending on embodiment, entry and exit are provided through a single dual axis gate or by two respective gates. Biasing mechanisms urge the gate(s) closed whereupon moving force of contact from an object to enter or exit overpowers the respective bias. Absent overriding directional force, the ring remains closed, retaining an object within. A provision to mount the ring to an anchor which exceeds by inertia the gate biases is included.
