Abstract: The invention teaches a hinged clip (10) comprising two arms (22), each arm having a free end (34) and an extension forming the other end, resilient bias means urging the free ends together, the extensions being movable towards one another against the force of the resilient bias means to separate the said free ends characterised in that the resilient bias means is non-removably secured to each arm. An edge protector for an article (14) having sides (16) joined by an edge (12) is also taught, as is the method of manufacture and use.

Abstract: This invention relates to a product packaging material and method, and in particular to a product packaging material (27) formed from a length of rolled corrugated paper (20) and a method of manufacture therefor. There is provided a packaging material comprising corrugated paper (20), the corrugated paper including non-sinusoidal corrugations (16, 18, 72). There is also provided a method of making a packaging material of multi-layer corrugated paper (27) including the steps of forming corrugated paper (20) having a sheet with sinusoidal corrugations (42), and compressing the sheet to destroy the sinusoidal form of at least some of the corrugations.

Abstract: An edge protector for use in particular on generally flat-faced, panel-like articles such as doors, worktops, tabletops and the like, and to the articles when fitted with the edge protector. The edge protector is of "U-section", the sides of said "U-section" being thinner than the base, the said sides and at least a part of the base being formed from a single length of semi-rigid paper, said base including at least one extra piece of paper located between the said sides, characterised in that the said single length is of corrugated paper and in that the fluting of the corrugations runs laterally around the "U-section".

Abstract: A separator of T-section made from a unitary roll of single faced corrugated paper, and a method and machine therefore.

Abstract: Forming machine comprising a first and second pairs of former and jaw arrangements, each of the former and jaw arrangements being relatively movable from an open to a closed condition (and from the closed to the open condition), but only after corresponding movement of the other former and jaw arrangement.
