alt' whom t may macerie:

it known that i, Lnrif'inn a citizen ci the United States of iinioriea, and resident of Hart-fomv county oilartford and State of ont, have irwnted certain new al iniprovein in v-iolder Rings or A,

' which the .o ovving is .a full, clear, v act oeswio on.

yThe chir this invention 'is to provide der liey ring that is divided into two ons err-.by lrey or other article can 1 rept in a special part separated frein the keys or other articles on the ring to be quickly accessible for use when desired.

`lie invention described in coni'` Jtion with the accoi'npanying drawings and set vtoi-th in the claims ln the accompanying drawings illustrating embodiments of iny invention Figure shows in side elevation, and

Fig. 2 in edge elevation, one forni ofthe clip; and

Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the same.

ln the drawings I show a ring formed of a piece of thin rod or Wire 8 that has a reduced or converging portion at 9 in Which the end portions lo and il lap each other, and which lapped portions are flattened on their contignonssides in. the plane of the clip.

in this particular form the material or sides beyond the said lapped portions are brought into close proximity, or almost into Contact, for the purpose of confining keys and the articles that may be strung onto the ring, at the annular portion 12 beyond the adjacent portions 18 and l-l, and which portion lig' is shown as substantially circular. l

By this arrangement or configuration is formed a comparatively large loop 12, and a snaller loop 14, and the latter caribe utilized to hold a special key or other siiriilar deviceA so that when a bunch of keys are arranged on lthis clip, this particular key or article is segregated from the bother keys, so as to be Spceicaton of Letters Patent.

`retained on the Sina .other keys strunb r quickly accessible i necessity of hn, cli oiflreys t n,

will be readily i or by to string the l then by parts a ylihe smaller lo n eonvenient place or a chain or other holder me larger tion l2;

l claim l. A key ring consisoing of a length of spring wire, the intermediate portion of which is bent around to form almost, but` not quite, a complete circle, to serve as a key ring proper, the extremities of the Wire being bent to forni opposite-similarly curved loops and to have the end portions thereof overlapped -facevvise alongside each other, the spaces Within the key ring proper, and the supplemental ring-like portion inclosed by said loops communicating with each other by a very narrow connecting space.

2. A key ring consisting of a length of spring Wire, the intermediate portion of which is bent around to form almost, but not quite, a complete circle, to serve as the key ring proper, the extremities of the Wire being bent to form opposed similarly curved loops and to have the end portions thereof overlapped facewise alongside each other, the overlapped portions of the loops being of reduced thickness and flattened at their contiguous sides, the spaces Within the key ring proper and the supplemental ring-like portion inclosed by said loops communicating with each lother by a narrow connecting space.
