Abstract: An illuminating key fob including a key fob body having a base and a cap secured together. Various compartments, disposed on the base within the internal chamber, store batteries providing a power source to a light emitting diode light source adjacent the key blank disposed within the internal chamber at a front side of the key fob body. The light source is provided to illuminate a key hole opening for insertion of a key produced from a key blank. The batteries are in selective operational communication with the light source to operate the light source upon the alternate activation and deactivation of an on-off button switch on the cap. A loop-receiver opening in the rear side is sized to receive a key ring therethrough. A notch in the cap along the rear side assists in grasping the rear side for insertion of the key ring through the loop-receiver opening.

Abstract: A door latch mechanism mounted in a door frame cooperates with a door bolt separating the cockpit compartment on an aircraft from the passenger compartment. The mechanism prevents a hijacker from entering the cockpit compartment and allows the door to open rapidly when a catastrophic decompression event occurs in the airplane.
