Abstract: The present invention is a suspension device comprising a frame and a means for holding a microphone. The means for holding a microphone is secured to the frame by two arms lying in a plane and the arms are shaped to allow movement of the means for holding a microphone in a direction transverse to the plane.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a locking means (1) for use in releasably locking a first tubular structure (100) of a first diameter and a second tubular structure (101) of a second diameter in a predetermined position telescopically in relation to each other. The second diameter is less than the first diameter and the locking means comprises a component (2) adapted for gripping at least the second tubular structure and a component (5) adapted in use to cause the locking means to have a locked position in which the second tubular structure is held in place relative to the first tubular structure and an open position in which the second tubular structure is telescopically movable relative to the first tubular structure.

Abstract: A portable lifting frame comprises an elongate track provided with a bogie movable there along. The bogie is adapted to accept a lifting device. An elongate support is provided for the track wherein the track and support are made up of two or more cojoining portions 2a and 2b. The co-joining portions 2a and 2b are hinged together end to end at pivotal hinges 3. The co-joining portions 2a and 2b have an open position where they lie in the same place and a closed position where they lie parallel to each other. The support is provided with two or more legs 4, 5, 6, 7 pivotally attached to one end of the support where only each leg is extendable. The other end of the support is provided with a support element.
