Quoting%20commentary for Kelim 12:1

טַבַּעַת אָדָם, טְמֵאָה. טַבַּעַת בְּהֵמָה וְכֵלִים וּשְׁאָר כָּל הַטַּבָּעוֹת, טְהוֹרוֹת. קוֹרַת הַחִצִּים, טְמֵאָה. וְשֶׁל אֲסִירִין, טְהוֹרָה. הַקּוֹלָר, טְמֵאָה. שַׁלְשֶׁלֶת שֶׁיֶּשׁ בָּהּ בֵּית נְעִילָה, טְמֵאָה. הָעֲשׂוּיָה לִכְפִיתָה, טְהוֹרָה. שַׁלְשֶׁלֶת שֶׁל סִיטוֹנוֹת, טְמֵאָה, שֶׁל בַּעֲלֵי בָתִּים טְהוֹרָה. אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹסֵי, אֵימָתַי, בִּזְמַן שֶׁהוּא מַפְתֵּחַ אֶחָד, אֲבָל אִם הָיוּ שְׁנַיִם, אוֹ שֶׁקָּשַׁר חִלָּזוֹן בְּרֹאשָׁהּ, טְמֵאָה:

A ring for a person is susceptible to impurity. A ring for cattle or for vessels and all other rings are not susceptible to impurity. A beam for arrows is susceptible to impurity, but one for prisoners is pure. A prisoner's collar is susceptible to impurity. A chain that has a lock-piece is susceptible to impurity. But that used for tying up cattle is pure. The chain used by wholesalers is susceptible to impurity. That used by householders is pure. Rabbi Yose said: When is this so? When it comes from one door, but when it comes from two doors or if it had a snail[-shaped] piece at its end, it is susceptible to impurity.
