Abstract: A fastener cartridge can include, one, a cartridge body comprising a deck and a plurality of fastener cavities and, two, a plurality of fasteners positioned in the fastener cavities. The cartridge body can further comprise extensions extending from the deck having different sizes and/or configurations. The extensions can control the flow of tissue relative to the deck and/or support the fasteners as they are ejected from the fastener cavities.

Abstract: An eye protector comprising a lens structure spanning a wearers eye in use, a circumambient wall member projecting rearwardly from the lens structure and spacing the lens structure from the wearers face in use while leaving a substantially clear flow path for air across an interior central zone of said eye protector, said wall member having a plurality of ventilation apertures each provided with a rearwardly angled cowl preferably 10 to 20 mm deep and set at from 60.degree. to 90.degree. to the angle of vision and each providing individually a substantially unobstructed ventilation area of at least 80 mm.sup.2 e.g. 250 mm.sup.2 and in aggregate providing a substantially unobstructed ventilation area of at least 500 mm.sup.2 e.g. 1000 mm.sup.2 each side of said central zone.

Abstract: An eye protector comprising a lens structure for spanning both eyes of a wearer, a circumambient wall member extending rearwardly from said lens structure and such as to leave a substantially unobstructed flow path for air across an interior central zone of the eye protector, and an open fronted, open backed frame member adapted to engage a wearer's face in use, said lens structure being carried by said frame member spaced forwardly from at least a substantial part of the front of the frame member, preferably by integral connection of the top portions of the circumambient wall member and frame member, side portions of the circumambient wall member being disposed laterally beyond said frame member, wherein one or more ventilation apertures are defined between the frame member and the circumambient wall member having a substantially unobstructed area on each side of said central zone of at least 500 mm.sup.2.
