Abstract: A belt is provided having a longitudinal axis configured to encompass the waist of a person, a patch is disposed on the belt, the patch extends across a width of the belt and forms a longitudinal pocket for a key between the patch and belt where an opening of the pocket receives the actuator end of the key, the longitudinal pocket is oriented to receive the key parallel to the longitudinal axis of the belt and a cutout in the patch extends outwards from the opening and from the pocket along the longitudinal axis, the cutout traces the outline of the handle of the key wherein a curvature of the belt causes the portion of the patch surrounding the opening to pull the handle of the key into the cutout against the belt thereby preventing the key from being accidentally dislodged.

Abstract: A non-threatening combination baton and spray dispenser that can be readily employed was a baton or as a dispenser without requiring complex re-orientation or concentrated aiming, including an expandable baton having a mounted connector coupling that facilitates connection to an end of an irritant spray dispenser disposed in axial alignment with the baton. The connector coupling supports a switch mechanism readily operable by the user's thumb while grasping the connector coupling to selectively dispense spray axially from the dispenser with the baton in either its retracted or expanded positions.

Abstract: An expandable baton has a twist release for retraction. Each inner section of the baton can lock in its extended position, relative to the preceding section, after axial extension. That section can be released for axial retraction by rotating that section about the longitudinal axis relative to the preceding section.

Abstract: A protective display and gift package includes a base defining a product support surface, a product support clasp pivotally mounted on the product support surface and operative to releasably support a product, and a cover pivotally connected to the base for movement between a first position mutually cooperable with the base to overlie the product display surface and a product supported by the clasp, and a second position supporting the base in an upstanding position with the product display surface and product support clasp exposed. The clasp enables the product to be selectively rotated relative to the product support surface and enables customers and merchants to view and display the product from various angles.
