Abstract: A reconfigurable carrying device, such as a cart, is provided for storing and/or transporting objects. The cart may include a first storage section for receiving the objects, and a second storage section pivotally attached to the first storage section. The second storage section may be movable upwards relative to the first storage section to be positioned on top of the first storage section in a first mode of operation of the cart and may be movable downwards relative to the position in the first mode of operation to be positioned adjacent to the first storage section in a second mode of operation of the cart.

Abstract: An isolator (10) formed to facilitate the entry and exit of products into and out of the isolator, the wall (12) of which includes an upper part (16) and a lower part (18) capable of being disconnected completely along one section of the isolator. The upper part (16) includes a flexible wall (24) forming a skirt, the lower edge of which emcompasses the upper edge of the lower part (18). A sealed connection of the two parts is obtained by inflating an inflatable seal (36) mounted in a recess (34) formed in a rigid portion of the lower part (18). The seal (36) then comes into sealing contact with an unstretchable belt (26) affixed to the lower end of the flexible wall (24).
