Mesechtas Shabbos 3a Shmuel says that every time it says Patur (exempt) by the laws of Shabbos it means Patur Avol Assur (exempt [from Korban/death], but still forbidden [rabbinically]) besides for 3 cases which are listed there. Rashi explains that means that it is 100% not permitted M'Drabanan. The carrying Gemara in the question says Patur.

Indeed, as SethJ and ShmuelBrin noted in their comments, the Gemara (Eruvin 11b) discusses such a case. Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim 362:12) summarizes it thus: כיפה, אם יש ברגליה דהיינו קודם שהתחיל להתעגל י' טפחים, מותרת משום צורת פתח "An archway, if its legs - before it begins to curve - are at least ten tefachim tall, then it is permissible as a ...

Obviously this does not address the S"'A or later Posekim, but it would seem from the Gemara that this would qualify as a Tachshit. I don't know how it could be considered anything else. As it is something you would specifically not take off outside while walking, I don't see how it would be considered something to be banned lest one come to carry it. Of ...

Chicago Community Kollel reports that if the key serves a purpose it is considered “clothing” eg where “pin of a belt buckle” is replaced “with a key”.

The kitchen (#4) combines 1, 2, and 3 as a de-facto eruv chatzerois. (Same for the other side.) See: http://www.yna.edu/archive/s_ask58e-04.html and http://belogski.blogspot.com/2007/07/carrying-on-shabbat-in-hotels-and.html People who live around a courtyard and all eat at one table, even if each has his own house, do not need a Eruv, because they are ...
