Title: Method of installing a beverage bag into a container
Inventor: ANDERSON IAN
IPC: B65D25/16
Filed: 2003-11-26
Abstract: The method of installing an alcohol beverage bag into a container such as a beer keg through an aperture in the container has the steps of folding the bag into overlapping panels so as to have a cross-sectional area able to pass through the aperture of the container and then inserting the folded bag through the aperture and into the container. The beverage bag comprises first and second rectangular panels having peripheral edges welded together to form a first seam. Each panel has an area larger than a cross-sectional area for the keg and the panels are sized relative to the keg cross-sectional area to permit the panels to be forced apart during bag filling so as to expand bag internal space to approximate the volume of the keg. The bag has an open neck member passing through an aperture of the first panel and welded thereto to form a second seam. The aperture in the first panel of the bag is preferably offset from the centre of the panel to reduce the likelihood of the first seam of the bag being bunched together and pulled at one time through the keg aperture during bag extraction. Consequently, it is stated that less stress is placed on the seams during bag extraction from the keg thereby enhancing the recycling life of the bag.

Title: Lamp with coaxial rotating reflectors
Inventor: HOOD ALASDAIR STUART
Filed: 2006-06-01
Abstract: A lamp such as a bedside lamp is provided with coaxial reflectors 4, 5 mounted for concentric rotation on a bearing element around a light source. Each reflector includes an opening to allow light projecting radially from the light source to pass through the opening. The first reflector can be rotated around the light source in either direction so that the opening is contiguous with that of the second reflector so that light can project through the aperture from the lamp. A rotation limiter such as a ratchet and pawl arrangement is operative with respect to the reflectors so that when the first reflector is rotated in one direction the second reflector is rotated with it and at the same speed whereby the orientation aperture is varied. Rotation of the first reflector in the opposite direction does not constrain the rotation of the second reflector so that the aperture size may be changed.
