Abstract: A twist key holder is provided to enable a user to attach or detach a key to a key ring in a simple yet secure manner. The holder, molded from stiff but somewhat pliant plastic material, includes a body which acts as a base and a hook on the base that follows a spiral path. The hook curves around and defines an opening, which via a passageway of varying width, leads to the exterior of the holder. An attaching button, molded initially with the body, can attach a standard key to the holder. The band of a key ring can be pushed through the passageway and into the opening, at the end of the spiral path, thereby connecting the key to the key ring. The key can be removed easily by a twist of the key holder.

Abstract: A key holder is provided to enable a key to be readily attached to or detached from a key ring. The key holder includes a snap lock permanently attachable to the head of a key, and a spring clip engageable in a slot in the snap lock. The snap lock has a pair of legs which can engage the usual aperture in the key from opposite sides thereof, and the snap lock further has a mount which contains a configured slot. The spring clip is made of spring wire, and includes a retainer which can slip into the slot, but cannot withdraw from it, and a ring which has one leg which can be swung away from the remainder of the key holder, to permit engagement with a key ring.
