A key ring includes a body having an upper ring and a lower ring, the upper ring having a closable opening. The upper ring and the lower ring are separated by a pinch point. The pinch point includes a first and second side of the body, the first and second sides of the body in very close proximity at the pinch point, such that a key sliding along the lower ring of the body may not easily pass the pinch point to the upper ring.

A lanyard coupler for selective attachment to a lanyard strap and an attachment member, the lanyard coupler including a body having a first end and a second end, an arm portion being formed toward the first end, the body tapering from the first end toward the second end. A strap receiving opening extends across a portion of the body, while a connector extends from the second end of the body.

An electronic payment card and key holding assembly for carrying an electronic payment card in conjunction with keys includes an electronic payment card and a key ring that has a plurality of keys thereon. A holder is provided that slidably receives the electronic payment card for storing the electronic payment card. The holder has a hole therein and the key ring releasably engages the hole. Thus, the electronic payment card can be carried with the keys. In this way the holder inhibits the electronic payment card from being lost or stolen.

In a tracking device, a crescent-shaped printed circuit board partially encircles a battery to minimize a thickness of the tracking device. A speaker and a light-emitting diode emit alerts upon receiving a command of a control apparatus or in response to a motion or a temperature sensed by a sensor. A local network has one hub for tracking a plurality of tracking devices and a wider area network has multiple hubs for more detailed tracking of the plurality of tracking devices. The wide area network tracks the plurality of tracking devices anywhere and stores data of each tracking device including its last known position and its sensor data.

A wiping apparatus includes a body with an attachment assembly. The body includes a proximal end mounting the attachment assembly, and a distal end forming a mouth. The body is generally covered with a fabric material, and the mouth is lined with a plush material for cleaning, polishing, wiping and drying objects placed therein. The attachment assembly includes a recoil line reel placed in the body adjacent to the proximal end, and a recoil line selectively extending therefrom. An elastic band mounted on a distal end of the recoil line is configured for placing the apparatus on a vehicle rearview mirror or other object.

Aspects of the present disclosure generally pertain to an apparatus and method for holding a key for self-defense. Aspects of the present disclosure more specifically are directed toward a self-defense key holder or an apparatus that rapidly converts a key (e.g., house key) into a fighting weapon, for example, for self-defense. The defense key holder may utilize an existing key (e.g., home/office/auto) to replace bulky and often prohibited self-defense aids. This disclosure may be useful for giving a user additional control and force in a variety of motions with a key or other object.

The present disclosure relates to a bobblehead key chain. In one aspect, the bobblehead key chain includes a head having a top opening on an upper surface of the head, a bottom opening on a lower surface of the head, and a mounting feature located within an interior space of the head. The bobblehead key chain also includes a pivot mechanism disposed through the interior space of the head, where the pivot mechanism includes a spine that extends through the top opening of the head and an axle that extends from the spine. The axle is retained by the mounting feature. The bobblehead key chain may also include a connection feature at the top of the pivot mechanism to allow key rings, keys, or other objects to be attached to the bobblehead key chain. The bobblehead key chain may also include a body connected to the pivot mechanism.

An integrally formed resilient holder is configured in the form of a two-turn spiral ring body with an elongated configuration. The holder includes an upper loop and a lower loop having a size substantially different from that of the upper loop, such that pivot points are created at which the upper loop and the lower loop intersect each other. In the light of its deformability, the holder can be easily triggered to open up an entry port through which keys or rings may be introduced or removed by a simple press from the user. The holder is of high durability and versatility and is cost-effectiveness accordingly.
