Abstract: A container for packaging a folded fabric product comprising: an end cap (3) including a base wall (5) and peripheral walls (7) surrounding the base wall; a central support (9) secured to the base wall and including at least two support panels (11A, 11B) extending generally perpendicularly from the base wall, the support panels having free ends (9A) which can be joined together; wherein at least one folded fabric product (8) can be packaged within the container, the folded fabric product being retained in position within the container by the central support with a portion of the folded fabric product located within the end cap, and another portion of the fabric product remaining exposed when accommodated within the container.

Abstract: A sensing device is provided. The device comprises a gas permeable member, a sensing member and optical means. The gas permeable member is arranged to receive gas from a substance to be tested. The sensing member is located adjacent to the gas permeable member and comprises a sensing substance. A property of the sensing substance is modified when it is brought into contact with the gas received by the gas permeable member. The optical means comprises a light source which is arranged to irradiate the sensing substance together with a first sensor which is configured to detect a change in the aforementioned property of the sensing substance.

Abstract: A food slicing device includes a container for containing a food product for slicing. The container has an open bottom end and is arranged so that a food product can be fed by gravity in a direction towards the bottom end. A movable slicer is provided as well as driving means to move the slicer. Supporting means support the food product contained within the container. The supporting means includes at least two supports, a first of the supports having a fixed position relative to the container and a second of the supports being movable with the slicer. The second support being arranged to slide across a downward facing surface of the food product as the slicer slices through the food product. The supporting means is arranged so that as the slicer slices through the food product, the food product slice can fall away from the food product under gravity.
