The present invention overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art by providing a key pouch which makes organizing keys easier. To keep all the keys together on one side and the remote control unit transmitter on the other side, the keypouch of the present invention is provided with two pockets. One side pocket is adapted and configured to hold the remote control unit transmitter and the other side pocket is adapted and configured to hold the keys.

The two side pockets are formed by flaps. The pouch is provided with three attachment rings. The three rings are secured to the pouch by a strap. Preferably, one of the three rings is larger than the other two. One of the smaller rings is adapted to hold the remote control unit transmitter on one side pocket. On the other side pocket, the other small ring will hold the car key and the big ring will hold the rest of the keys. The present invention protects the remote control unit, permits easier organization of all the keys also ensure that holes in the user's pants pocket are avoided.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The “KEYPOUCH” illustrated in FIG. 1 consists of a central body A and opposite side flaps B and C. Flaps B and C can be folded onto either side of body A to form two opposite side pockets located on opposite sides of central body A. Flap C can be held in a folded position over body A by means of snap or velcro fasteners S and V. Likewise, flap B can be folded over and secured on the other side of body A by means of snap or velcro fasteners S and V.

The strap D, secured at the top of the body, hold three key rings E. Preferably, one of the key rings is larger than the other two. One of the small key rings is intended to hold the remote control unit transmitter which can be stored in one of the side pockets formed by flaps B or C. In the other side pocket formed on the opposite side of body A, the other small ring can hold the car key and the larger ring may hold additional keys such as house keys, garage door keys, mailbox keys or the like.

With the flaps folded over body A, the keys can be safely held in the pocket formed between the flap and the central body, as illustrated in FIG. 2 . The keys, and the remote transmitter, are thereby protected by the overlapping flap.
