At least part of the said lanyard means includes a portion to be received and/or engage with said socket means and said socket means shaped and/or orientated such that the flexible lanyard cannot pass freely through said socket means when the user lets go of the tool and/or lanyard.

A holder in which a cord-like member is inhibited from being pulled out and is can suppress the load on a winding mechanism. A holder includes a casing internally housing a reel to which one end of a cord body is connected and winds up the cord body, having an opening communicating between inside and outside and through which the cord body passes when pulled out or wound up, and a magnet through which the cord body passes is provided in the opening, a carabiner attached to the casing, a detachable part to which the other end of the cord body is connected, having an opening through which the cord body is inserted, and a magnet through which the cord body passes is provided in the opening, and a ring attached to the detachable part, the detachable part being detachably attached to the casing, by the magnetization of the magnet.

A system for mitigating the transmission of infectious threats by providing an easy access to a cloth or mitt attached to a retractable cord to allow the user to grab a doorknob, subway passenger strap or pole without having skin contact with public touched surfaces. A protection cloth and retraction cord are attached to a personal attachment device, which can be worn on a belt, also has a container with sanitation solution that is applied to the protection cloth after use and can also be applied to a person's hands. A second cloth is also used to wipe down surfaces such as seats, knobs, switches, etc. providing a reusable sanitation cloth and refillable sanitation container. The invention will reduce the contact transmission of infectious disease threats in a more convenient method than current traditional methods of disposable cloths or liquids.

Connector and retractor systems are disclosed with some embodiments comprising a retractor housing and a line within the retractor housing. The housing also has a hole from which the line extends, and a spring within the retractor housing which urges retraction of the line. A personal article can be attached to the line. A connector is included between the retractor housing and the personal article, with the connector having magnets to cause alignment of the personal article with the retractor housing when the personal article is retracted to the housing.
