  • Patent number: 12137778
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 12004675
    Abstract: A mounting bracket lock may be configured to secure the mounting bracket of a window treatment housing to a rail of the housing. The mounting bracket lock may be slidably attachable to the rail and, when in a locked position, may prevent the mounting bracket from detaching from the rail. The mounting bracket lock may include a body that is mountable to the rail. The body may include a first portion that slidably attaches to the rail, and a second portion that receives a portion of the rail and a portion of the mounting bracket, thereby securing the mounting bracket in a locked position relative to the rail. The body of the mounting bracket lock may define one or more projections that extend therefrom, and that engage in a friction fit between corresponding surfaces of the mounting bracket when the mounting bracket lock is in the locked position.
