Abstract: The dispensing container has a bottle with at least two compartments for accommodating different fluent components. The compartments are so designed that they dispense their contents at equal flow rates when the bottle it tilted. In addition, security is provided against cross-contamination of the contents of the different compartments when, after a dispensing operation, the bottle is righted again. The bottle is provided with a cap that seals off the outlets from the compartments simultaneously when fitted to the bottle. The cap can be a separate component or it can be provided as a flip-top cap. The bottle is made entirely of plastics material and directional pouring spouts can be provided to ensure that the contents of the compartments leave in well-defined streams during a dispensing operation.

Abstract: A modular unit 10 for constructing structural supports comprises an elongate member 12 and a link 14 extending laterally from the member. Castellations 28 are provided around a rim 26 at either end of the member so that the elongate members of similar units can be mated together. The link is made up of two struts 16 and 18 which are offset to one side of the elongate member and a flange 20 with bolt holes 22 is provided at the end of the link. Thus the links of two similar units can be bolted end to end to form a basic unit for use in constructing structural supports. Such a basic unit has two elongate members which are substantially parallel to each other and held apart and connected by the links. The invention also extends to an integral basic unit having such a configuration.
