Abstract: To enable a scaffolding structure to serve horizontally curved structures such as storage tanks, a connection is provided to allow horizontally adjacent scaffold transom element to be relatively inclined to one another in a horizonal plane. The joint includes connection means including a wedge to engage a socket afforded by a scaffold upright and such connection means is pivotally mounted on a scaffold cross member, such as a transom element, which itself affords a socket for the connection of a further cross member, such as a ledger element. Alternatively, the connection means may be pivotally mounted on a part provided with two such sockets for the releasable connection of a transom element and a ledger element.

Abstract: A process for the manufacture of gloves comprising: pre-coating a light-weight textile fabric substrate on one side only when a foamed dispersion consisting of a synthetic rubber and polyvinyl chloride; curing the dispersion; superposing two plies of the pre-coated fabric with their pre-coated surfaces in contact; welding together the two pieces of fabric along a welding zone in the shape of the outline of a hand; cutting out the shape thus defined using a shaped knife through the welding zone; turning the so-formed glove-shell inside out to bring the pre-coating to the outside; placing the inverted glove-shell onto a form in the shape of a hand; and dipping the form and the precoated outer surface of the glove shell mounted on the form into a liquid plastics material to provide an impervious outer coating, such outer coating being prevented from striking through into the fabric due to the pre-coating of the fabric.
