Abstract
A system for a novel key ring device for holding an associated consumer product is disclosed. The device includes a hollow casing configured to enclose at least part of a consumer product, a movable latch member, including a key retaining portion which is configured to cooperate with the hollow casing to hold an associated key ring, a biasing member connected to the hollow casing and movable latch member and an interacting mechanism configured to interact with the associated consumer product. Furthermore, the device may include a biasing member that has a first and second length, such as a spring, whereas the biasing member would, in its first position, contribute to the contact of the movable latch member and hollow casing creating an enclosure for an associated ring to be securely held. Furthermore, the biasing member may also have a second length where when the biasing member is in this second length, the key retaining portion of the latch is not in direct contact with the hollow casing, allowing for the key ring to not be enclosed in the key ring device. The system may also include it being configured to hold an associated lighter, an associated flashlight, an associated spray product, an associated writing product, or any other suitable consumer product.
Description
- The present application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/826,984 filed Sep. 26, 2006, which is incorporated herein in its entirety.
- The following disclosure relates to a device that attaches to a key ring. More specifically, a key ring device that includes a housing, or casing, that holds small consumer products such as a flashlight or cosmetic products, a writing instrument and/or a lighter, etc.
- Many people carry key rings to hold keys to their automobiles, houses, office, gym lockers, etc. Because these individuals feel the need to secure their items, it is often desirable to have a key ring which holds all the keys that that individual may commonly use.
- There are often times when an individual may want to use consumer products. Although the individual may routinely carry these consumer products, they often may be bulky or it is possible that the individual may forget to bring the consumer product with him when he leaves his home and/or office.

FIG. 1 , akey ring device 50 capable of housing a relatively small, i.e. pocket-sized, consumer product, such as lotion, mouthwash, cologne, a lighter, a flashlight, a pen, a pencil, etc. is shown. In the depicted embodiment, thekey ring device 50 includes ahollow casing 52, a key retainingmember 54 and aninteracting mechanism 56. Thedevice 50, and more particularly thecasing 52, is generally key-shaped having awider section 58, similar to the bow of a conventional key (see bow inFIG. 1 ) and anarrower section 62, similar to a blade of a conventional key (see blade inFIG. 1 ). - The key retaining
member 54 is movable with respect to thecasing 52. In the depicted embodiment, the key retainingmember 54 is movable in a direction generally defined byarrow 64 inFIG. 2 . The key retainingmember 54 includes a U-shapedkey retaining portion 70, a first narrowedcasing engaging section 72 that extends from an end of the key retaining portion and a second narrowedcasing engaging section 74 that extends from an opposite end of the U-shaped key retaining portion. Thefirst section 72 is square in a cross section taken generally normal to the direction of thearrow 64. Thesecond section 74 is generally circular in a cross section taken in an axis parallel to the direction ofarrow 64. - With reference to
FIG. 5 , anopening 76 is provided in the first narrowedcasing engaging section 72 to receive abiasing member 80, which will be described in mare detail below. ComparingFIGS. 3 and 4 toFIG. 5 , to remove a key ring from thekey ring device 50, thekey retaining member 54 is displaced upwardly in the direction of arrow 62 (FIG. 5 ). This results in a space between an end of the secondcasing engaging section 74 of thekey retaining member 54 and thecasing 52 such that the ring can be removed from thedevice 50. Removal of a force in the direction ofarrow 62 results in thebiasing member 80, which in the depicted embodiment is a spring, urging the key retainingmember 54 towards thecasing 52. Where thefirst section 72 of thekey retaining member 54 extends from the key retaining portion 70 afirst ledge 82 is defined to limit further movement of the key retainingmember 54 toward thecasing 52. Similarly, where thesecond section 74 extends from the U-shaped key retaining portion 70 a second ledge 84 is defined that also limits movement of thekey retaining member 54 in a direction opposite thedirectional arrow 62 inFIG. 5 . - The
hollow casing 52 is configured to accommodate a number of different consumer products. The hollow casing includes afirst section 90 that secure to asecond section 92. In the depicted embodiment, once a consumer product is disposed in thehollow casing 52, thefirst casing 90 is permanently attached to thesecond casing 92 via an adhesive or other similar securing method. Alternatively, the first section and thesecond section 92 can attach to one another such that they can be selectively removed from one another without damaging thehollow casing 52, for example using a latch. As most clearly seen inFIGS. 5 and 6 , thehollow casing 52 includes afirst opening 94 that is configured to receive the first narrowed casingengaging section 72 of the key retainingmember 54 and aspring 80. Thefirst opening 94 is square-shaped in cross section (FIG. 6 ) to receive thefirst section 72 of thekey retaining member 54. If thefirst section 72 were to take another configuration, for example, circular, the configuration of thefirst opening 94 of thecasing 52 may change to complement the configuration of the firstcasing engaging section 72. The depth of thefirst opening 94 is long enough to accommodate the stroke of the key retaining member to provide an opening so that a key ring can be removed from the key retaining member as depicted inFIG. 5 . In the depicted embodiment, the depth of thefirst opening 94 is substantially equal to the depth, i.e. the vertical dimension as depicted inFIG. 5 , of thewider section 58 of thehollow casing 52. - The
hollow casing 52 also defines asecond opening 96 that is configured to receive the second casingengaging section 74 of thekey retaining member 54. As more clearly seen inFIG. 2 , thesecond opening 96 is circular in configuration to complement the configuration of the second casingengaging section 74 of thekey retaining member 54. The orientation of either can change if desired. - With reference to
FIG. 5 , thehollow casing 52 defines a firstinternal housing area 100 generally disposed within thewider section 58 of thehollow casing 52 and a secondinternal housing area 102 generally disposed in thenarrower section 62 of thehollow casing 52. The first internal housing area is typically where the consumer product that is to be housed in thecasing 52 is engaged. In other words, it is in the firstinternal housing area 100 where the activation of the consumer product is taking place. Examples of this will be described in more detail below. The secondinternal housing area 102 generally houses a portion of the consumer product which will be described in more detail below. Anopening 104 is provided at a distal end of thenarrower section 62 of thehallow casing 52. The opening 104 leads to the secondinternal housing area 102 and is the opening through which a consumer product extends and/or is dispensed. - The
hollow casing 52 also includes anouter recess 106, which in the depicted embodiment is formed in thefirst section 90. Theouter recess 106 receives the interactingmechanism 56 such that anouter surface 108 of the interactingmechanism 56 is recessed with respect to anouter surface 110 of the first section 90 (seeFIG. 6 ). Such a configuration inhibits accidental actuation of the consumer product that is disposed in ahollow casing 52. - With reference to
FIG. 7 , the forming of theouter recess 106 in thefront section 90 results in anindentation 112 that extends into the firstinternal housing area 100 a defined by thefirst section 90. Aslot 114 is formed in theindentation 112. Theslot 114 receives a portion of the interactingmechanism 56 in a manner that will be described in more detail below. Thefirst housing section 90 also defines a portion of thefirst opening 94 a, a portion of thesecond opening 96 a, a portion of the secondinternal housing area 102 a and a portion of the product dispensing opening 404 a. Similarly, thesecond housing section 92 defines a portion of thefirst opening 94 b, thesecond opening 96 b, the firstinternal housing area 100 b, the secondinternal housing area 102 b, and theproduct dispensing opening 104 b. When thefirst housing section 90 attaches to thesecond housing section 92, the above described openings and housing areas are formed. - A
pin 116 is disposed in thesecond housing section 92 and extends towards thefirst housing section 90 when the two sections are attached to one another. Thepin 116 is received in anopening 118 that is formed in thefirst housing section 90. If desired, the pin can be located in thefirst housing section 90 and the opening can be located in thesecond housing section 92. Thespring 80 attaches to thepin 116, which is disposed at a lower end of thefirst opening 94, such that thespring 80 can bias thekey retaining member 54 towards thehollow casing 52. - With continued reference to
FIG. 7 , the interactingmechanism 56 includes a generally square-shapeduser contact area 130 and anextension 132 that extends normally from theuser contact area 130.Barbs 134 are located on theextension 132. Thebarbs 134 are sloped to facilitate insertion of theextension 132 into thevertical slot 114 while inhibiting removal of the interactingmechanism 56 from thecasing 52 once theextension 132 has been fully inserted into thevertical slot 114. Accordingly, an end of thebarb 134 that is generally parallel with the rear surface (per the orientation ofFIG. 7 ) of theuser contact area 130 is spaced from the user contact area such that the interactingmechanism 56 can move freely along the greatest dimension of the vertical slot ′114. - Now referring to
FIGS. 8 and 9 , thekey ring device 50 houses a consumer product, which in this example is a writing utensil A. Examples of writing utensils not only include a pen and a pencil, but also include an eye liner dispenser and a lip stick dispenser. In this example, the engagingmechanism 56 is configured to operate a button B to release the tip of the writing utensil A through thelower opening 104 of thecasing 52. In which case, when the engagingmechanism 56 is pushed downwardly towards thenarrower section 62 of thecasing 52, the writing utensil is released for use. Furthermore, when the engagingmechanism 56 is pressed once again, the consumer product, which again in this example is a writing utensil, is stored inside of thekey ring device 50. - In another example, the associated consumer product is a lighter C, as shown in
FIGS. 10 and 11 . Once again, the engagingmechanism 56 is pushed downwardly towards thenarrower section 62 of thehollow casing 52 to operate a button D of the lighter C. - It should be noted that in the two previous examples, it may be desirable for the engaging mechanism to respond differently when pressed. For example, in
FIGS. 8 and 9 when the consumer product is a writing utensil A, the engagingmechanism 56 may include and/or cooperate with a click and hold feature which is known in the art and is commonly used in ball point pens. In this example, the engagingmechanism 56 would hold the tip of the writing utensil A in an extended position as inFIG. 8 when pressed once, and when pressed again, the tip would be in a retracted position, in which case the writing utensil would be stored. - With regard to the embodiments depicted in
FIGS. 10 and 11 , the engagingmechanism 56 may be biased towards thekey retaining member 54. If this were the case, when a user releases the engagingmechanism 56, the engaging mechanism would automatically retract upwardly towards thekey retaining member 54, thereby extinguishing the flame. In other words, when the engagingmechanism 54 is not pressed downwardly the flame is not ignited. When the engagingmechanism 54 is pressed and held, the flame is ignited only as long as the engaging is held in place. - Moving on to
FIGS. 12 and 13 , the consumer product shown here is a flashlight. In this instance, when the engagingmechanism 56 is pressed downwardly, the result would be that the consumer product, which in this embodiment includes a light source F, would turn to an “on” or an “off” position. The light source F is in electrical communication with a battery G through a switch H. The switch H selectively opens and closes a circuit that includes battery contacts I and wires J. When the engagingmechanism 56 is pressed downwardly the engaging mechanism contacts a button K to operate the switch H. - Referring now to
FIGS. 14 and 15 , the consumer product in this example is a fluid dispenser N. Examples of fluids 0 that can be dispensed include, but are not limited to, perfume, cologne, mouth spray, mouth wash, bug spray, hand sanitizer, etc. In this embodiment, the fluid 0 may be under pressure in a fluid chamber PI in which case when the engagingmechanism 56 is pressed downwardly, it contacts a button Q that allows communication between the fluid chamber P and a fluid line R to release the fluid 0. Alternatively, the button Q can operate a small pump to deliver the fluid 0 to the fluid line R. - Referring to
FIGS. 8 through 15 , it should be appreciated that other suitable consumer products and/or arrangements, can alternately or additionally be used in operative association with thekey ring device 50. The key ring device that has been described above can be viewed as an inexpensive integrated consumer product having a key-shaped outer housing, which attaches to a key ring and provides an attractive device that is similarly shaped to the keys that are attached to the key ring, and an inner portion that is a small consumer product. Thecasing 52 as described herein is suitable to enclose many different types of consumer products that require some sort of activation. Alternatively, other configurations concerning the engagingmechanism 56 may also be used. Moreover, thehollow casing 52 may take other configurations. These other configurations may more closely resemble a conventional key, e.g. the narrower section may be more flattened to more closely simulate the bow of a conventional key. These other configurations may also depart from the configuration associated with a conventional key. As such, if should be understood that modifications may be implemented and still remain with the spirit of the claims. - While considerable emphasis has been placed on structures and structural interrelationships between component parts of the embodiments disclosed, it will be appreciated that other embodiments can be made and that many changes can be made in the embodiments illustrated and described without departing from the principles of the novel concepts of the disclosed embodiment. Modifications and alterations will occur to others upon reading and understanding the preceding detailed description. Accordingly, it is distinctly understood that the foregoing descriptive matter is to be interpreted, merely as illustrative of the novel concepts, and not as a limitation. As such, it is intended that the invention be construed as including all such modifications and alterations insofar as they come within the scope of the appended claims and any equivalents thereof.
