Abstract: A waterproof boot is provided that has a waterproof upper, having a foot portion, a leg portion and an ankle region located between the foot portion and the leg portion. A pocket is provided in the upper at an anterior aspect of the ankle region. An expansion mechanism is provided in the upper and is adapted to allow the upper to expand in the ankle region. A selectively removable insert is also provided that is adapted to snugly fit within the pocket.

Abstract: The present invention relates broadly to a rail joint assembly and relates particularly, although not exclusively, to a play apparatus incorporating said joint assembly and a method for constructing a play apparatus comprising a framework structure of interconnected rail members and a plurality of said joint assemblies. The play apparatus comprises a framework structure including interconnected rail members and a plurality of joint assemblies each arranged to interconnect at least a pair of the rail members to construct the framework structure. Each of the joint assemblies includes a structural hub configured for detachable connection to an end of one of the rail members and a joint housing mounted about the structural hub and including one or more bracket anchorages for securement of one or more panel brackets to which a panel of the play apparatus is removably mounted.

Abstract: A waterproof boot (10) is provided that has a waterproof upper (14), having a foot portion (16), a leg portion (20) and an ankle region (18) located between the foot portion (16) and the leg portion (20). A pocket (30) Is provided in the upper (14) at an anterior aspect of the ankle region (IS), An expansion mechanism (24) is provided In the upper (14) and is adapted to allow the upper (14) to expand in the ankle region (18). A selectively removable Insert (32) is also provided that Is adapted to snugly fit within the pocket (30).

Abstract: A respiratory mask assembly includes a respiratory mask and a forehead support secured to the mask via a joining member. The forehead support includes a cushion frame pivotably mounted to the joining member so as to be pivotably movable relative to the mask when the cushion frame is secured to the mask. At least one cushion is mounted on the cushion frame. A finger-operated adjustment control member is provided to the cushion frame. The finger-operated adjustment control member is manually manipulable to adjust a position of the cushion frame relative to the joining member along a predetermined path generally towards and away from the patient's forehead.

Abstract: A forehead support adapted to be secured to a respiratory mask includes a joining member for securing to the mask and a cushion frame pivotally mounted to the joining member. The cushion frame is adapted to locate one or more forehead cushions. The cushion frame is adapted to pivot relative to the joining member. The cushion frame is selectively lockable at two or more predetermined angular positions relative to the joining member.

Abstract: A dispensing apparatus comprising a spout and a spigot. The spout includes a tubular member. The tubular member includes a first end, a second end, an inside surface and an opening extending transversely through the tubular member between the first and second end thereof. The tubular member defines a cavity capable of receiving a flowable material therein. The spigot is attached to the inside surface of the tubular member. The spigot includes a peripheral wall, a transverse wall and a handle. The peripheral wall includes an outer surface positionable over the opening. The transverse wall is coupled to the peripheral wall. The peripheral wall and the transverse wall cooperating to substantially seal the first end of the tubular member and the opening from the cavity of the tubular member. The handle is associated with at least one of the peripheral wall and the transverse wall.

Abstract: A controller (101) is configured for the reading of so-called electronic “smart cards” which are configured to operate as a control template. The controller (101) is formed of a housing (102) incorporating a control template receptacle (104) and a viewing area (106). The receptacle (104) includes an access opening (110) through which a smart card (300) is insertable. An upper boundary of the viewing area (106) is defined by a sensor in the form of a substantially transparent pressure sensitive membrane (108). Arranged beneath the membrane (108) is a data reader provided in the form of an arrangement of exposed electrical contacts (107) configured to contact complementary contacts of the smart card (300).
