  • Patent number: 11929603
    Abstract: A cable management system for an enclosed chamber includes a fixed member which has attachment formations associated therewith for attachment to the enclosed chamber and a displaceable member which is displaceable relative to the fixed member between at least an extended condition and a retracted condition and which has cable fixing formations. The cable management system includes a guide mechanism for guiding the relative displacement of the displaceable member relative to the fixed member, wherein the cable fixing formations are configured to fix at least one cable at a first point to the displaceable member, such that displacement of the displaceable member causes the cable to be displaced therewith. The cable management system may also form part of a cable management assembly which includes an enclosed chamber to which the fixed member is attached or attachable.

  • Patent number: 9321474
    Abstract: The invention provides a theft-inhibiting carrier which includes a body 12 having a chassis 16 on which three wheels 18, 20 and 22 are mounted. The carrier 10 includes theft deterrent means 12. The theft deterrent means is configured, when activated, to dismount the wheels 20, 22 from their respective axles 44 but to retain them connected to the chassis 16 by an elongate flexible tether to impede the movement of the carrier. Two containers 60, 62 are provided and contain chemicals which are fed via pistons 68 to a mixing device 76 and into a valuables receiving chamber in which they foam and set thereby encasing valuables contained therein. A pair of arms 88 are pivotally displaced from a retracted position to an extended position in which they protrude from the containers 60, 62. Sharpened teeth 94 are provided on the arms to further inhibit displacement of the carrier.

  • Patent number: 5128482
    Abstract: The invention provides a process for the production of 3-(1-amino-1,3-dicarboxy-3-hydroxy-but-4-yl) indole and certain salts and internal condensation products thereof. An unsaturated indolyl ester is reacted with ethylchloro(hydroxyimino)acetate in the presence of triethylamine in an organic solvent to cause a 1,3-dipolar addition reaction to form a di-ester. The di-ester is saponified to form a di-acid which di-acid is then reduced to form either the product indole or a salt thereof.
