Abstract: A collapsible child's stroller with a handle frame (30), a front wheel frame (10) and a rear wheel frame (20), mutually connected at a hinge joint (12, 22, 42) for mutual angular displacement between folded and unfolded configurations. The hinge joint has two spaced apart, parallel hinge axes, about which the frames (10, 20, 30) mutually rotate. The stroller is further provided with a locking element (43, 44) moveable between a locked position in which the frames (10, 20, 30) are locked in the unfolded configuration, and an unlocked position allowing the frames (10, 20, 30) to rotate to the folded configuration. The locking element (43, 44) moves in a direction traverse to the parallel hinge axes to better transfer loads between the frames.

Abstract: A cartridge for receiving a plurality of adjacent, aligned, disposable gloves is described, the cartridge comprising a base; and a first element being arranged in use for alignment of the finger portions of the plurality of gloves. Furthermore, a machine arranged for dispensing a disposable glove is described, the machine comprising: an articulated arm arranged in use for contacting and retaining a first part of the glove and for moving said glove from a first position in which the glove is located in a cartridge containing one or more gloves, to a second position in which a second part of the said glove is able to be contacted with and retained by an anchoring means to open the cuff to allow a user to don the glove.

Abstract: There is provided a package of disposable gloves (10) and a glove dispensing apparatus (60). The package of disposable gloves comprises a plurality of gloves (25) joined to one another in a line wherein adjacent ones of the gloves are connected together by a respective first frangible connection (26) which is breakable to separate the gloves from one another. Each of the gloves has a glove edge (29) lying transversely to the first frangible connection to form an open cuff (30) of each glove (25), and at least one finger (11b) of each glove is connected to an adjacent finger (1b) or thumb (11c) of the glove by a corresponding further frangible connection (52) which is breakable to separate the connected fingers or finger and thumb of the glove. The glove dispensing apparatus (60) can be used for enabling hygienic location of a glove of the glove package (10) on a user's hand.

Abstract: A separable container including a top and a base joined by a locking ring, the top and the base attached to the ring through locking tabs adapted to sealingly attach the top to the base through the ring. The base is of a converging shape allowing bases to be nestled within each other when separated from the top for easier transport when empty. When assembled the container typical includes a bladder to hold a liquid to be dispensed and a pressuring means enables the liquid to be dispensed.

Abstract: A method of making a pallet (10, 210) includes providing a pallet inner core (16, 218), and attaching, by adhesive, first and second complementarily shaped plastic skin shells (12, 14, 226) to portions of the core, and interconnecting the shells by heat fusing or interlocking elements. Each shells is formed of two plastic materials. The core is formed with reinforcing truss beams (700) therein, each having an upper chord part (710) which is flush with an upper surface of the core and in contact with the upper shell or adhesive. Each beam has webs (708) connected to chords, straight central portions (702) and end portions (704) extending downwardly into leg portions of the pallet. Also disclosed is a pallet having such features.

Abstract: A container for a relatively brittle product, such as a haemostatic bandage, including a body and a lid for closing the container to hermetically seal the product therein. A sealing rim of the lid includes a layer of elastomeric material which sealingly engages with a sealing rim of the container body to provide a first, static, seal and a second, dynamic, seal. The elastomeric sealing material extends into the interior of the container beneath the lid to provide an elastomeric formation operative to engage an upper surface of the product within the container so as to apply a resilient bias thereto to hold a lower face of the product against the base of the container. The elastomeric formation thereby acts to inhibit substantial movement of the product within the container.

Abstract: A substance dispensing device is disclosed having a body that defines a chamber for receiving a substance capsule. The capsule is operable to dispense substance therefrom and has an outlet through which substance is dispensed. The body has two relatively movable parts that are moved relatively apart from a rest position to condition the device for use. A closure member associated with the movable part obstructs the outlet when the movable parts are in the rest position.
