Abstract:
1. An attachment device for keys having a key head rigidly and coplanarly connected to a key shaft, comprising: a key holding body adapted to receive and hold the head of a key so that the head of the key is substantially covered by the key holding body and the key shaft protrudes from the key holding body; and a joining means adapted to allow interconnection of two or more key holding bodies, wherein the joining means is provided on the key holding body distal from both the key shaft and the key head when in use and comprises a complementary lug and recess arrangement such that at least two key holding bodies can be pivotally and reversibly joined together by a push fit arrangement of the lug from a first key holding body being push fit into the recess of a second key holding body, so that in use the second key holding body can be pivoted at least 90 degrees away from the direction of the first key shaft extending from the first key holding body to allow that portion of the first key holding body surrounding the first key head to be gripped to allow the key to be turned.
