Abstract: A stable antimicrobial aqueous hypochlorous acid solution that retains its activity for at least three months and can be provided with high levels of hypochlorous acid (more than 500 ppm), the aqueous hypochlorous acid composition having low chloride concentrations (maximum chloride levels of 1:3 chloride to hydrochlorous acid) and a pH between 3.5 and 7.0 to stabilise the composition without the need for additional stabilisers. A solid composition is also provided for producing the stable solution.

Abstract: A feed and drink bottle is made of plastics material preferably by an aseptic process. In its basic form the bottle (2) has a mouth (4) intended to be sealed with a closure (10) put in place after the feed has been put in the bottle through its mouth. The bottle is rendered unfit for re-use as a baby's bottle, thus making it disposable either by preventing the closure from being able to be removed from the body of the bottle once it has reached its fully engaged position, or by preventing it from being replaced in a fluid tight position once it has been removed. The closure (10) has a teat (24) secured to it in an irremovable manner, as by the teat being clamped between the closure and a retainer member (18) held in place in the closure, or by the teat's being bonded to the closure.

The closure has a teat secured to it in an irremovable matter, as by the teat being clamped between the closure and a retainer member held in place in the closure, or by the teat being bonded to the closure. When the closure and teat are formed as a single unit, the unit may be used more than once on a body of aseptic plastic material, thus putting back on the user the responsibility of ensuring that the body is sterile or aseptic before such re-use.

Abstract: A feeding bottle (10) for babies or young children is provided in stackable form. The bottle comprises components that are stackable in sets of the components. For example, a bottle comprising a container body (12) and a closure (14) therefor, might be provided as a stack of container bodies one within the other and a stack of closures on top of each other.

Abstract: A screw fastener (10) including an elongate shank (11) having a longitudinal axis (A), a tip (12) at one end of the shank (11), a head (13) at the opposite end of the shank (11), and a self-tapping screw thread (14) extending along at least a major portion of the shank (11). The head (13) includes a generally planar end face (17) which is generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (A), and which includes means (18) for cooperation with a screw driver. The head (13) further includes boring means (15) that permits the head (13) to bore into a sheeting substrate (20). Control means (19) are provided for controlling the depth of penetration of the head (13) into the sheeting substrate (20).
