Abstract: A resilient buffer formed from strip-like material comprises hollow elongate first and second sections which extend transverse to each other. The first section has spaced apart limbs and the second section also has spaced apart limbs. The spaced apart limbs of the first section are joined at one pair of adjacent ends and the spaced apart limbs of the second section are also joined at one pair of adjacent ends. The spaced apart limbs of the first section are joined to the respective spaced apart limbs of the second section to form a closed loop. The closed loop is open at the sides thereof so as to enable relative flexing to take place between the first and second sections.

Abstract: A stand construction system which includes a support frame, support means on said support frame to be spaced from a surface on which the system rests, a floor-carrying member, and connecting means adjacent a rear end of said floor-carrying member locatable on said support means to position said rear end substantially horizontally, the floor-carrying member having its front end arranged to be supported directly by the surface or by support means of a further support frame to be arranged at a lower level than the support means of the first said support frame.
