Abstract: A lid and a jug for a blender. The lid and jug cooperate, wherein the lid is a relatively tight fitting polymeric lid having an outer edge and an upper surface. A pull tab being integral with the lid. The pull tab forms a ring above the upper surface of the lid that defines an at least finger-sized opening located adjacent to the outer edge of the lid, the opening having a central axis of symmetry that is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the jug.

Abstract: An insulation pad for rails on sleepers, the pad comprising a base section adapted, in use, to be interposed between a rail and an underlying sleeper, and two upper sections adapted, in use, to extend over the respective upper surfaces of the rail foot, the upper sections being formed integrally with the base section, wherein the upper sections are hingedly connected to the respective side edges of the base section, which hinges are formed by sections of pad material of reduced thickness, and wherein the upper sections and the associated side edges of the base section adjacent the respective hinges incorporate interlocking knuckle and groove arrangements for resisting differential movement between the upper sections and the base section longitudinally of the hinges.
