Abstract: A venetian blind assembly having slats of flexible material which are removably mounted in brackets. The brackets have grooves into which opposite side edges of the slats are received. There are stops which limit the insertion of the ends of the slats into the brackets. The brackets and slats also have detents which connect the brackets and slats, to each other and which may be released by deflecting the slats causing the portion of the detent therein to clear the bracket. The slat then can be pulled out of the bracket for cleaning or replacement. The brackets are also assembled in vertically stacked relationship by cords which are threaded through apertures of adjacent brackets and run around the edge of and over a side of the brackets. Hooks are provided for retaining the cords on the sides of the brackets.

Abstract: An attachment to a key to facilitate concealment of the key, which takes the form of a bifurcated housing within which is embedded magnetic material. The bifurcated housing includes a fastener, which in operation passes through an opening formed within the large handle section of the key. The exterior sidewalls of the bifurcated housing deflect to become recessed during operation of the fastener to thereby form recessed areas to facilitate grasping and holding of the attachment thereby facilitating operation of the key.
