  • Patent number: 7377145
    Abstract: A key case includes a top plate slidably mounted on two rails on a bottom plate, and a key is movably received in a space between the two rails. A first block is connected to an end of a blade portion of the key and has a stop which is engaged with a push member on an underside of the top plate so that when the top plate is pushed, the blade portion of the key extends out from an opening defined in an end of the key case. The first block is connected with a first spring member that can pull the key back to its original position. Two push bars each have a first protrusion to be engaged with two notches of the first block to position the key. The two push bars can be pivoted to release the first protrusions from the notches to allow the key to be pulled back by the first spring member.
