Abstract
A magnetic key holder assembly for securing a key holder within a receptacle such as a purse or bag, the magnetic key holder assembly having a first magnet internally positioned on a wall of the receptacle and a second magnet externally positioned on the wall of the receptacle and magnetically attached to the first magnet, wherein the key holder is detachably connected to the first magnet within the receptacle.
Description
- Not applicable.
- The present invention relates to magnetic key holding assemblies and more particularly to, but not limited to, magnetic key holding assemblies for attaching to a wall of a receptacle such as a purse or bag.
- A well known problem of users of receptacles such as purses, hand bags, and the like is the tendency of key chains or key rings to become lost or hidden amongst the various contents carried within such receptacles. The keys and key holder often work their way down to the bottom of the receptacle where they become difficult to locate, particularly in the dark or when the user is in the most hurry or need thereof.
- Various attempts have been made in the past to make a key holding assembly which attaches the key holder to a portion of the bag thus making it easy to locate within a bag, such as U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,978,902 and 4,940,250. However, both assemblies suffer from the fact that they must attach the key holder to a specific, non-movable object or location within the bag or purse and thus the user cannot easily adjust the position where the key holder is secured within the bag or purse. Moreover, the prior methods use components which must be physically secured or permanently attached to an inner portion of the bag such as by stitching or an adhesive.
- Accordingly, previous approaches to providing convenient and flexible assemblies of methods for locating key holders within bags or purses have significant shortcomings and disadvantages. It is the objective of the present invention to overcome these shortcomings and disadvantages and provide a versatile key holding assembly for various types of receptacles.
