  • Patent number: 5833054
    Abstract: A key case is provided which allows for the exclusive selection of individual keys. The case has a plurality of compartments capable of holding one or two keys. The compartments may be zippered or have an access door. In a first embodiment the main body of the case is made out of leather or fabric. Each key compartment is accessed by way of a zipper which allows for the keys to be selectively available for manipulation by the user. In another embodiment the case is rigid and has an access door for each compartment. Opening the access door allows access to the keys. In both embodiments the key is attached to the interior of the key compartments by a relatively long chain which allows the user to use the key while the key case is still attached to the users belt, purse, etc. The case is provided with a velcro patch which allows it to be secured to vertical surfaces such as the dashboard of an automobile.
