Abstract
Luggage, such as hand carried briefcases, purses or the like, are provided with key ring holders on an inner face thereof, preferably a cover. The holder is in the form of a short horizontal or longitudinal strap secured at its midsection to the face just above an open top of a conventional pocket or envelope mounted on the inner face. The strap has wings or legs projecting from its secured mid portion. The end of each wing or leg has a pad of a hook and loop ('Velcro') fastener secured on its inner side. A complimentary hook and loop pad is secured to the opposing inner face of the cover at a location to secure the outer ends of the wings or legs in an extended flat condition against the cover. The two wings or legs are pulled free of the cover carried pads, and are brought together on opposite sides of their secured mid portion. A key carrying key ring is draped over the juxtaposed wings which are then spread apart back to their original extended positions and pressed against the cover pads to trap the key ring on opposite sides of the secured central portion of the strap. The keys on the key ring are dropped into the mouth of the pocket or envelope to be held flatwise in an easily accessible position until needed.
