Talk:Keyring

Although a key ring is essentially a very simple device, expanation of such is always difficult. A picture counts a lot. Indeed a picture of the alternate forms where a clasp is hinged to the ring and can be lifted similarly to a bridge to allow a key to be added is probably best described with a picture unless someone is really good with words.

I suggest that this is a dictionary article, not an encyclopedia article. It should be moved. soverman 03:53 28 Sept 2005 (UTC)

Keyloop?
Ive left a question at: Talk:Keychain. Btw, wouldnt it make more sense to merge fob, chain and ring than to further split this article? Sparafucil 08:08, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Inventor?
Something I've always been curious about- exactly who invented the modern keyring, and when? (of course I'm talking about the metal loop type). 76.199.13.11 15:27, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm doing a little research; I find:
 * About Key Rings -- references US patent numbers #1327534, #1333655, #1338085, all in 1920.
 * WikiAnswers -- someone says "G Herluf Johnson" did it, but that "the ring part" was done by a juggler in Russia from the 1830's..? More on the juggler, from another source, after the tall tale, but this is hardly an authoritative source.

UNNECESSARY PHOTO
Do we really need the photo of the clear photo slide with a keyring? Destroyer000 (talk) 12:57, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
