  • Patent number: 8418843
    Abstract: A holder of oblong objects pivotably mounted therein so as to be selectively positionable and selectively retainable therein comprising a pair of oblong sidewall structures spaced apart across an object retaining space from one another with a restraining spring formed of a resilient sheet curved sufficiently to form a joined spring end with a pair of spring sides across from one another to each have a free end across from one another with each free end having a spring opening therethrough and with the restraining spring supported on the mounting side end of a supporting one of the sidewall structures in the pair thereof such that the spring openings therein are also across from one another. An ejector is mounted in the holder to be positioned in the object retaining space at an ejector side of the object retaining space to extend between the pair of spaced apart oblong sidewall structures with the ejector formed of a resilient material.

  • Patent number: 8418842
    Abstract: A holder of oblong objects pivotably mounted therein so as to be selectively positionable and selectively retainable therein comprising a pair of oblong sidewall structures spaced apart across an object retaining space from one another each having a mounting end such that a supporting one of the pair of sidewall structures has a divide extending therein partially along its length to provide a pair of split sidewall spring sheets across the divide from one another with each of the pair of sidewall spring sheets having a sidewall spring opening therethrough. An ejector is mounted in the holder positioned in the object retaining space at an ejector side of the object retaining space to extend between the pair of spaced apart oblong sidewall structures with the ejector formed of a resilient material. A pivot pin is positionable concurrently through each of the sidewall spring openings, and also removable therefrom.

  • Patent number: 8322523
    Abstract: A holder of oblong objects pivotably mounted therein so as to be selectively positionable and selectively retainable therein comprising a pair of oblong sidewall structures spaced apart from one another each having a mounting side end across from one another with at least one of said pair of oblong structures having a sidewall opening at the mounting end thereof extending therethrough. A pivot pin is positionable in said sidewall opening, and also removable therefrom. An oblong object holder has a connection structure at a connection end thereof and supports a selected object to be held in the holder at an opposite support end thereof with the connection structure having a pair of connection bars each extending away from the support end and about an opposite side of a connection opening between them to result in gap ends thereof facing one another across a connection gap extending between them from the connection opening.

  • Patent number: 4646913
    Abstract: A key holder is for keys with standardized heads of about the same width as standard key blades. The key holder includes a casing which has a flat base wall and a plurality of parallel, spaced-apart, elongated key compartment side walls extending integrally upwardly from the base wall to form a plurality of parallel key compartments. Keys are pivotally mounted in outer end portions of the key compartment side walls on removable cap screws and are pivotable about openings in the key heads and these cap screws from storage position inside of the casing to position for use of the key outside of the casing. Leaf springs, one in each key compartment, push the keys against the side walls with sufficient force to frictionally hold the keys in place each within its own key compartment whether or not one or the other of the cap screws is temporarily removed to insert or remove other keys.
