Abstract
Abstract A device for holding a key ring or the like in which a hook projects from the lower edge of a plate from one side of the plate member, the upper end of the plate being inclined from the hook, while one or more prongs extend downwardly from the upper end to a position of engagement with the opposite side of the plate, terminating in pointed ends bent outwardly away from the plate. A pressure-sensitive adhesive element may be included on the opposite side of the plate.
