  • Patent number: 6435340
    Abstract: A protective case for keys, comprised of a sleeve constructed from an elastic based fabric, and a split ring. The sleeve is mounted to the ring in a method that allows it to be reversed inside out, and allows one half of the ring to always be contained within the sleeve. The keys are attached to one side of the split ring. By reversing the orientation of the sleeve, the keys are then captured on the interior of the sleeve. The elastic fabric of the sleeve applies pressure to the keys, preventing them from rattling amongst themselves, this protects the keys from damage and eliminates the rattling noise.
