Abstract: An open ring-like device for holding articles such as plastic cards and keys is formed so that its ends are opposed to one another and includes tips at the ends. The distance between the tips is less than the thickness of an article. Articles can be inserted into the device by pushing the edge of an article against the tips to spread the tips apart. The article is slid in between the tips to fit a tip through a hole in the article to hold the article on the device. The device allows for the insertion or extraction of articles without a separate step of opening or closing the device.

Abstract: A device for holding plastic cards and keys includes an open ring formed into a shape such that the ends of the ring are opposed to one another and includes tips at the ends. A spine is located at the base of the open ring and a jacket is attached to the spine, for covering the cards. The distance between the tips is less than the thickness of a card or a key so that it can be inserted into the device by pushing an edge of the card or the key against the tips to spread the tips apart. The card or the key is slid in between the tips to fit a tip through a hole in the card or the key to hold it on the device. Cards or keys can be inserted or extracted without a separate step of opening or closing the device.
