Abstract: This invention provides a case system that removably stores a laptop computer so that it can be removed normally through the top of the case when needed, but also through a flap formed in the side of the case while residing upon a tray with retention lips on at least three sides. The case can be a briefcase, messenger bag or backpack, among other styles. The tray edge facing the top opening is free of any lip or raised obstruction to allow laptop removal from the case through a conventional top flap. The tray is withdrawn/slid from the side of the case unzipping and opening the side flap. The tray is tethered to the case interior so that it extends only slightly beyond the adjacent edge of the case. In this manner, the tray/laptop is prevented from excess rotational movement (e.g. jackknifing) with respect to the case. The tray is free of any x-ray opaque structures or materials, thereby allowing an unobstructed scan to be performed on the laptop.

The latter has a tear-open thread (24) which extends obliquely or diagonally in the region of a front wall (14) and rear wall (15) and merges into side walls (16, 17) via arcuate regions. This allows optimum opening and removal of the outer wrapper with the aid of the tear-open thread (24).

Abstract: A device (10) for location at an opening to a receptacle comprises a projection in the form of a hingedly movable cutter (32) which is located on a sleeve (38) which is adapted for location at the opening of the receptacle. The device (10) also comprises a lid (12) for location at the opening including a sealed compartment (20) in the lid (12) that is positionable at the opening and a longitudinal rib (24) located inside the lid (12). In use when the lid (12) and its compartment (20) are positioned at the opening and the lid is rotated relative to the receptacle, the rib (24) is caused to act on the cutter (32) to move it into a position whereby it opens the sealed compartment (20). The movement of the lid (12) in a unidirectional rotation alone with respect to the receptacle causes both opening of the compartment (20) followed by removal of the lid (12) from the receptacle.

Abstract: A carrier (800) that is reversibly erectable from a collapsed condition to an erected condition and that reliably maintains its erected condition. The carrier includes a tubular portion defined by side walls (118, 146, 152, 142, 156, 160) and a bottom wall defined by bottom panels (230, 260). The bottom panels are hingedly connected to an edge of the tubular structure. Gusset structures connect the bottom panels to the tubular structure and cause the bottom panels to toggle as the carrier is erected. The gusset structures additionally retain the bottom wall in the erected condition. In the erected condition, the bottom wall of the carrier includes a buffer for limiting or preventing damage to articles as they are loaded into the carrier. The handle of the carrier is ergonomically defined in multiple planes and includes handle flaps including curved portions that improve the comfort of a handle.

Abstract: An assembly for wetting a medical device, in particular a urinary catheter, with a fluid medium is provided. The device is packed in a package which contains the fluid medium confined in a compartment. To ensure wetting of the device, the package is adapted to open the compartment and the package in one and the same opening action, preferably so that the compartment opens at the latest when the package opens. In that way, removal of the device from the package requires opening of the compartment and the device is therefore wetted automatically as part of the opening procedure.
