Abstract: A storage container 10 has multiple concertinas 34, said concertinas 34 can individually be clicked down when collapsed and such that when clicked down it is self-maintaining in a collapsed state. This provides improved storage options for when the storage container 10 is not in use.

Abstract: A storage container (10) has a storage vessel (12) and a lid (14). The lid has clips (16) for attaching it to the storage vessel. The storage vessel (12) has a separate lip (20) assembled onto an opening flange (72) of the storage vessel. The lip seals with a circumferential member (18) of the lid (14). The lip 20 thus allows the opening flange (72) to form a seal with the lid (14). This provides greater freedom in the manufacturing techniques used for the storage vessel (12) whilst still enabling a seal with the lid (14).There is also a concertina-type vessel described in combination with the lid.

Abstract: A door handle (1) is adapted to apply liquid or gel (liquid/gel) to a user's hand. The handle (1) comprises a handle grip (2) and a liquid/gel reservoir (6) associated with the handle (1). A liquid/gel displacement device is arranged in the grip (2) and a non-return valve (53) is provided to allow liquid/gel to flow from the reservoir (6) to the displacement device. A hollow trigger (8) is displaceably mounted on the grip (2) and adapted to actuate the displacement device when the handle (1) is gripped for displacement of liquid/gel from the displacement device, into the trigger (8) and then on to a hand or its digits gripping the trigger (8).

Abstract: A liquid heating vessel comprising heating means for heating liquid in the vessel, electronic control means, electromagnetic switching means for interrupting or reducing power to the heating means, and temperature sensing means for providing a signal dependent on the temperature of liquid in the vessel to the control means. The control means is arranged to operate the electromagnetic switching means to interrupt or reduce power to the heating means in response to the control means determining that a pre-determined temperature condition has been reached.
