Claim:
A key holder, comprising: (a) an external housing; (b) an internal housing, (c) means for pivotably mounting said internal housing inside said external housing; (d) means by which keys can be retracted into said internal housing (e) means by which keys can be extended out of said internal housing while said internal housing remains within said external housing; (f) means by which said internal housing can be rotated in relation to said external housing when the keys are retracted into said internal housing; and (g) means by which keys in the internal housing can be held under pressure while in a retracted position inside said internal housing comprising a plug of soft material; wherein said external housing defines an internal chamber sized and configured to contain a remote key adjacent said internal housing when said internal housing is retracted into the key holder; and whereby the key holder dampens the rattling of keys held in a retracted position by being held under pressure while in a retracted position inside said internal housing.
