  • Patent number: 8011703
    Abstract: A handle assembly has a handle, a handle spigot to which the handle is attached, a biasing member to bias the handle to a naturally closed position, an operating plate which is rotatable by the handle spigot, a mounting stock, and a housing, the spigot, the biasing member, operating plate and a majority of the mounting stock being positioned within the housing, the mounting stock being securable to the housing to hold all the components within the housing. In this manner, the handle assembly can be made as a “complete” unit with all the internal components being in position and with the handle being rotatably attached relative to the housing. Thus, no separate rose is required. Another advantage is that the unit can be assembled using a substantially concealed fixing arrangement to improve security and also to improve the aesthetic appeal of the assembly.

  • Patent number: 7015234
    Abstract: Compounds of the general formula (I) are described wherein R1 and R2, which may be the same or different, is each a hydrogen atom or a CF3, CF2H or CFH2 group, provided that when one of R1 and R2 is a hydrogen atom, then the other is a CF3, CF2H or CFH2 group, and the salts, solvates or hydrates thereof. Compounds of the invention are potent MMP inhibitors which advantageously do not cause tendonitis in a relevant animal model. Compounds of the invention may be expected to be of use in medicine, especially where the avoidance of side effects, such as joint pain, is desired.
