[0022] The following describes a key holder according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the embodiment shown below is merely an example of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. The symbol X indicates the key holder according to the present invention.

[0023] In this specification, the state in which the second member is hidden behind the first member and cannot be seen from the front will be referred to as the stored state, and the state in which most of the second member is exposed from behind the first member and can be seen from the front will be referred to as the deployed state. In the accompanying drawings, components that are not visible from the outside are indicated by dotted lines.

[0024] <Embodiment> As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the key holder X includes a first member 1, a second member 2, a connector 3, and a decorative band 4.

[0025] The first member 1 is formed in the shape of a rectangular thin plate, and has a first decorative surface 11. Although specific decorations are not described here, any decoration can be applied, and decorations that resemble the cases or jackets of records, CDs, etc. are particularly suitable.

[0026] The second member 2 has a second member body 21 formed in the shape of a circular thin plate, and a protruding portion 22 protruding from the second member body 21.

[0027] The first member 1 and the second member 2 are connected by a connector 3 at one of the corners of the square of the first member 1 and at a protruding portion 22 of the second member 2 so that they can rotate relative to each other. Details of the connection will be described later.

[0028] The second member body 21 also includes a second decorative surface 21a and a plurality of grooves 21b.

[0029] Although a description of specific decorations for the second decorative surface 21a is omitted, any decoration can be applied, and in particular, decorations that imitate the label side of a record are preferably applied.

[0030] A plurality of grooves 21b are formed concentrically with the second member body 21. This allows the appearance of the second member 2 to be closer to the appearance of a record or the like.

[0031] The key holder X may further include an electronic tag (not shown) coated on the first member 1 or the second member 2.

[0032] The first member 1 and the second member 2 are connected by a connector 3 so that they can rotate relative to each other, and therefore can be freely switched between the unfolded state shown in Figures 1 and 2 and the stored state shown in Figures 3 and 4.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 5, the connector 3 is preferably a pair of eyelets 31, 32, for example, and connects the hole h of the first member 1 and the hole h of the second member 2.

[0034] Note that, as long as the first member 1 and the second member 2 can be connected so that they are rotatable relative to each other, the configuration of the connector 3 and its surroundings is not limited to the one described above.

[0035] 6A and 6B are diagrams for explaining one manner of attaching the decorative band 4 to the first member 1 and the second member 2, in which (A) is a rear view of the key holder X and (B) is a bottom view of the key holder X. FIG.

[0036] As shown in Figure 6, the first member 1 and the second member 2 can clamp a part of the decorative band 4 between them. This clamping force can be adjusted by the size of the connector 3, the degree of fastening, etc.

[0037] 7A and 7B are diagrams illustrating another manner in which the decorative band 4 is attached to the first member 1 and the second member 2, in which (A) is a rear view of the key holder X and (B) is a bottom view of the key holder X. FIG.

[0038] 7, the decorative band 4 can be wrapped around the first member 1 and the second member 2. In this case, the fixing force can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the decorative band 4 in relation to the thickness and size of the first member 1 and the second member 2.

[0039] 8 to 10 are diagrams showing examples of decorations on the key holder X, including the first decorative surface 11, the second decorative surface 21a, etc. However, the decorations on each part are not limited to these.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 10, the second member 2 can be formed from a transparent material, and can also be formed from members of various colors to match the associated characters, member colors, etc. <Effects of each component> The illustrated embodiment of the present invention provides the following advantages, for example:

[0041] The first member 1 formed in the shape of a rectangular thin plate and the second member 2 having the second member main body 21 formed in the shape of a circular thin plate are connected so that they can rotate relative to each other, so that the first member 1 can be likened to a record jacket and the second member 2 to a record, and the movement of removing a record from the record jacket can be reproduced, which is very interesting.

[0042] Furthermore, the first member 1 has a first decorative surface 11, and the second member main body 21 includes a second decorative surface 21a, which makes the appearance of the first member 1 more similar to that of a record jacket and the appearance of the second member 2 more similar to that of a record, making it even more interesting.

[0043] Furthermore, the second member body 21 includes a plurality of grooves 21b formed concentrically, which makes the appearance of the second member 2 more similar to that of a record, and is more interesting.

[0044] Furthermore, by further providing an electronic tag coated on the first member 1 or the second member 2, it is possible to maintain the aesthetic appeal while further enhancing the interest, such as by playing video and audio data using the electronic tag.

[0045] Furthermore, by further providing a decorative band 4, it is possible to recreate the "band" that is one aspect of record culture, making it even more interesting.

[0046] Furthermore, since a part of the decorative band 4 is sandwiched between the first member 1 and the second member 2, the decorative band 4 can be further provided with a simple configuration, which adds to the appeal.

[0047] Alternatively, the decorative band 4 is wound around the first member 1 and the second member 2, so that the decorative band 4 can be further provided with a simple configuration, which is more interesting.

[0048] As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a key holder X that is more interesting than conventional ones.

[0049] It should be noted that the configurations and functions of the embodiments described in this specification are merely examples, and various modifications are possible based on design requirements and the like. [Explanation of symbols]
