Abstract: A resilient metal clip is suitable for use in securing adjacent panels of a knock-down structure, for example a collapsible container, to one another. The resilient clip includes two legs that extend away from one another, the two legs being resiliently connected to one another at one end in order for the legs to be resiliently displaceable relative to one another. Each leg has a free end, with the free ends terminating in panel engagement formations. A disengagement member is displaceably connected to one of the legs, and is displaceable relative to the leg between a rest position in which it does not interfere with an engagement formation provided on the leg, and a release position in which at least part of the disengagement member exerts a release force on the engagement formation of the leg.

Abstract: The invention relates to a releasable clip for use in a knock-down structure, and more particularly but not exclusively, to a releasable plastic clip for use in securing panels of a knock-down structure, for example a collapsible container, to one another. The releasable clip includes two legs that extend away from one another, with the legs being connected at one end, and each leg having an opposite free end that terminates in a panel engagement formation. At least one of the panel engagement formations is an adjustable engagement formation that is adjustable between a locked position, in which the engagement formation is adapted to engage a securing aperture provided in a panel, and a release position, in which the engagement formation is adapted to be released from the securing aperture.

Abstract: This invention relates to an elastic bandage for supporting a body extremity such as a leg. Such bandages are used to overcome problems with fluid retention and swelling in the legs, occurring as a consequence of varicose veins, vascular incompetence, pregnancy, etc. It is a task of this invention to supply an active support for a body extremity such as a leg, which can be used by a person underneath the clothes and will not reduce the mobility of the patient. This task is solved in that an elastic bandage comprises an elastic layer for surrounding a body extremity to exert compressive force on the extremity, the bandage being, at least partly, formed by elastomeric actuation elements, whereby electrical control of the compressive force is possible, and where the control is due to a signal from some sensing system.

Abstract: This invention discloses an improved process of distributing liquid physiological specimens over a surface, i.e. the filming process in a laboratory, during which a liquid sample is distributed over a specimen-display surface like a conventional laboratory slide. The invention relates to the utilisation of the centrifugal force in a rotating device. By placing the surface that is to be filmed by the sample, in such a way that it is pointed towards the axis of rotation, the influence of the centrifugal force will distribute the sample over the whole surface.
