Abstract:
1. A key locator comprising, in combination: a) a bent rod-shaped first member having a first end portion and a second end portion; b) a second member configured for selectively retaining at least one key; and c) a container comprising a first face that is configured to move between (i) an open configuration that exposes an interior portion of the container, and (ii) a closed configuration that seals the interior portion of the container; wherein said bent rod-shaped first member incorporates a planar bent interior region between said first end portion and said second end portion; said first end portion and said second end portion are not urged against each other and are configured to allow said planar bent interior region to hang from or clasp an edge; said first end portion of said bent rod-shaped first member comprises a hook in either an open form shape or a closed form shape that substantially permanently and flexibly engages with the second member; said second end portion of said bent rod-shaped first member is configured for affixation of said container so that, when affixed to the second end portion of said bent rod-shaped first member, the container is substantially rigidly affixed to the second end portion of said bent rod-shaped first member such that movement of the container necessarily causes movement of the second end portion of said bent rod-shaped first member; said first face of said container is exposed and faces away from an interior of the bent rod-shaped first member when said container is directly and permanently fixed to the second end portion of the bent rod-shaped first member, wherein the interior of the bent rod-shaped first member is defined by the planar bent interior region between the first end portion and the second end portion; the second end portion of the bent rod-shaped first member comprises an enlarged portion; and the container further comprises a second face that is opposite to the first face of the container, wherein the second face of the container is directly and permanently fixed to the enlarged portion.
