Abstract: The invention relates to a remote access system designed to make the task of positioning, manipulation and/or maintenance of devices, which are difficult to access or in hostile environments, a much easier operation. The system comprises remote manipulation whereby a device (420), such as a bulb, may be moved from a remote access position (200) along a guide (300) to an enclosure position (100). The enclosure position may, for instance, comprise an area formed in the side wall of a swimming pool, such that, a lens (120) of the enclosure sure (100) is arranged, in use, to have the device (420) to one side of it, and, sealed from the device on the other side of the lens (120), there may be water. By providing an arrangement whereby the device (420) can be remotely positioned, the need for draining a swimming pool for the simple replacement of blown bulbs etc. is avoided.

Abstract: The invention concerns portable liquid containers with improved pouring capabilities. Particularly, there is disclosed a container comprising a body region (1) a hollow handle (3) with first and second ends (4, 5), an outlet spout (6) which communicates with both the body region (1) and the first end of the handle (3) and an elongate pouring tube (2) firmly located and fixed in position relative to the outlet spout (6). The pouring tube (2) has a first end (23) via which the interior of the pouring tube (2) directly communicates with the body region (1) and a second end from which, in use, liquid is dispensed.
