Tamper-evident ring assemblies

A tamper-evident, single use, ring assembly, is assembled from first and second interengaging broken rings (1, 2). The first broken ring (1) is of a first material and the second broken ring (2) is of a second material. A break in the ring of the first material is offset circumferentially from a break in the ring of the second material. The assembly of the rings forms a closed ring assembly which can be cut through in the region of the break in the ring of the first material to open the ring assembly. At least one of the rings (1, 2) of the ring assembly is resiliently stressed in its assembled state such that, upon cutting through of the ring assembly, the confronting ends of the assembly move apart.

A key chain includes a bisected hollow cylinder, one side of the bisected hollow cylinder forming a first side and another side forming a second side. The key chain further includes a first holder, the first holder having a first half cylindrical body, the first holder located inside of the first side of the bisected hollow cylinder, such that a first outer radius of the first holder is coextensive with a first inner radius of the second side when interconnected. The key chain further includes a second holder, the second holder having a second half cylindrical body, the second holder located inside of the second side of the bisected hollow cylinder, such that a second outer radius of the second holder is coextensive with a second inner radius of the first side when interconnected. The key chain further includes a first magnetic material and second magnetic material, the first magnetic material located in the first holder and the second magnetic material located in the second holder, the first magnetic material and the second magnetic material oriented such that when the first side and the second side are proximate to forming a complete cylinder, the first holder is guided to the second holder through magnetism between the first magnetic material and the second magnetic material.

Rotatable connector

A rotatable connector formed from two parts, each comprising a body extending from a connecting head having a first face and an opposed second face, the second face having an arcuate tail section on an outer perimeter edge and shaped to be received by a tail socket defined between the first face and a pin extending from a proximal end of the body. When the two parts are engaged, the connecting heads are coaxial to define an axis of rotation. When the parts are rotated on the axis relative to one another, the tail section of the first part travels through the tail socket of the second part and the tail section of the second part travels through the tail socket of the first part, thereby connecting the two parts together. When the parts are rotated in the opposite direction, the parts are disconnected from each other.
