The present invention is a self-defense instrument comprised of an ergonomic key holder and a key with a sharpened tip that is retained within a slotted compartment defined within the key holder, said key holder further including opposite extending protrusions that extend generally perpendicularly away from the slotted compartment and that are configured to be graspable by the user's hand.

A device for holding objects such as key rings, security cameras, and the like to the corner of a pair of walls. The device is a mount having a pair of bodies each having magnets and attachment features. The device also includes connectors which can be used to connect mounts together and object supports which can be attached in multiple ways.

An electronically addressable object carrier for enabling the management of removably suspended objects, such as keys, distributed in an object location space, The object carrier includes a housing having an object retention element for securing an object to the object carrier and a lock element for releasable engagement with an associated locking device, the microcontroller having a unique object address serving to identify an object secured to the object carrier; a plurality of electrically conductive contact pads in the housing for electrically coupling the microcontroller to a source of object address signals and electrical power signals and a visible indicator coupled to the microcontroller for activation whenever the microcontroller receives an address signal representative of the unique object address. The lock element is a recess formed in a surface of the housing with an abutment edge. The associated locking device is a solenoid having a retractable plunger terminating in a control element which engages the recess. The locking device is mounted adjacent a mounting aperture in a support element, such as a cabinet interior wall. In use, the carrier is inserted into the wall aperture until the control element engages the housing recess, which locks the carrier in place. To unlock, the solenoid is operated to retract the plunger to release the carrier for manual removal.

A key holder includes a key tag, the key tag attached to a key. The key holder further includes a device body, the device body including a slot, the key located in the slot of the device body and the key tag wrapping around the device body from the slot to an outer portion of the device body, the outer portion of the device body including an attachment point for the key tag, the key tag attached to the outer portion of the device body and under sufficient tension to prevent the key from sliding out of the slot.

An electronic key for a vehicle includes an upper case component of a key case, a lower case component attachable to the upper case component, and a mechanical key that is selected from among a first mechanical key that is used in a state of being totally removed from the key case and a second mechanical key that is used in a protruding state of partially protruding from the key case. The lower case component is selected, so as to correspond to the mechanical key, from among a first lower case component that accommodates the first mechanical key to be removable and a second lower case component that accommodates the second mechanical key to be movable into the protruding state.
