Abstract: An anti-misuse system for a sheet dispenser having a roll of sheet material and a housing to receive the roll. The anti-misuse system includes an end portion of a roll incorporating a first projection and a corresponding end wall portion of the housing comprising a retracting portion incorporating an interacting mechanism. The retracting portion is movable between a deployed position in which the interacting mechanism affects the functionality of the sheet dispenser and a retracted position in which the interacting mechanism enables the sheet dispenser to be functional. The retracting portion further incorporates an abutment drivable by the projection upon insertion of the roll into the housing to move the retracting portion into the retracted position.

Abstract: A security barrier (10) comprises a first fence (20) and a second fence (40). The first fence comprises a first series of posts (22) and the second fence comprises a second series of posts (42). The first and second fences are provided adjacent to each other with the first fence being coupled below ground level with a the second fence. A footing having first and second post sockets is also provided for receiving a first post from each of the first and second fences respectively.

Abstract: There is disclosed a film dispenser comprising a housing adapted to receive and hold a roll of film and having a dispensing opening through which a layer of film may pass, the dispenser being provided with a movable cutting unit having a blade mounted therein, the dispenser further comprising a cutting channel shaped and positioned to receive said blade. It is preferred that the dispenser has means to maintain tension in the film as it is cut.

Abstract: A theft deterrent bracket for holding and presenting at least one item from a wall or panel, the bracket including at least one socket for receiving a portion of said item. The casing comprises: a) a locking component positioned within the casing and comprising a locking element having first and second configurations; the locking element being sized and shaped to, in the first configuration, engage with a corresponding element positioned on the item and fixedly retain the item within the casing, and, in the second configuration, not engage with the corresponding element of the item; b) releasing component to move the locking component into the second configuration; and c) protecting component to shield the locking component and the releasing component from direct access or interference. The bracket is provided with affixing component for attaching it to a panel.

Abstract: A road safety barrier having four or more ropes 4-7 supported by posts 1-3 rigidly mounted on or in the ground is described. Each rope is held in tension against the posts and follows a sinuous path between the posts. The ropes are tensioned against the posts and this gives rise to a combined frictional resistance to displacement of the ropes relative to each post along the length of the safety barrier. The structure of at least some of the posts and/or their mounting with respect to the ground defines a minimum bending yield strength in a direction along the length of the barrier. This minimum bending yield strength is greater than the bending moment resulting from the combined frictional resistance forces acting on the post.
