Abstract: A mooring retrieval device for retrieving a mooring rope in water, the device comprising a buoyant member adapted to be tethered to the end of the mooring rope. An elongate retrieval member having an end adapted to engage with the buoyant member whereby, in use, the end of a mooring rope tethered to the buoyant member can be more easily retrieved. Advantageously the end of the retrieval member engages with the buoyant member by magnetic attraction.

Abstract: A lice comb (10) including a plurality of teeth (14) for capturing lice when the teeth (14) are passed through hair. The lice comb (10) is provided with a receptacle (22) including an adhesive inner surface and a means for moving lice captured by the teeth (14) into the receptacle (22) such that the lice come into contact with the adhesive surface, preventing escape of the lice.

Abstract: A lice comb (10) comprising a plurality of parallel teeth (12) having upper surfaces (16) and lower surfaces (18). Each pair of adjacent teeth (12) includes a first set of projections (22) on a side surface (24) of one tooth and a second set of projections (26) on a side surface (28) of the adjacent tooth. The first set of projections (22) are provided along at least a portion of the length of the tooth such that hair moving downwardly between the pair of teeth (12) passes through gaps (32) defined between the first set of projections (22). The second set of projections (26) are interspersed between and in a direction toward the lower surface (18) of the teeth (12) such that the strands of hair passing through the gaps (32) are deflected in a direction parallel to the teeth (12) in use by the second set of projections (26).
