What sort of clip is a keyring?

There's clips out there that look like little keyrings. Or maybe two- turn springs.

What's their real name if I were to go searching for something on Amazon or other hardware suppliers?

I've ordered them before off ebay and they're called key rings, split rings . Searching amazon for "split rings" turns up loads of the items I think you're after.

I think they're generally called split rings. That's what we fishing-lure makers call them:

I'll echo the "split ring" designator.

Yes, they are split rings. Thank you all.

Split ring. If you are looking for smallish ones look at fishing tackle craft suppliers. Barlow's, LureCraft, etc.

I've seen such when looking for Belleville washers.

Not a Belleville washer. They're shaped like shallow cones.

I know, but when I was searching for Bellvilles I saw something like the

2-turn springs that Tim is looking for. Tim didn't expand on his application. BTW, Bellvilles are one of those "magic" components that the inventor deserves a special place in heaven.

I attach my phone case to a carabiner with a split ring. I then clip the carabiner to my belt loop. While mowing the lawn today, I got the phone caught on something, it stretched out the split ring into an egg shape. I would have expected my belt loop to give up before that. Miek
