A walkway assembly () for attachment to a support structure such as a roof of a building includes a primary support () for on-site attachment to the support structure, a plurality of tread modules () each attached relative to the primary support and moveable between a first position and a second position at which a part of each tread module is spaced further from the primary support than when at the first position, and at least one riser unit () for supporting the tread modules relative to the primary support in at least the second of the first and second positions.

Walkway assembly

A tread module () for a walkway or stairway includes a body of material which defines a load-carrying surface (), the tread module including at least two sub-module sections () which are formed integrally with one another and inter-connected by at least one severable formation () whereby the tread module may be reduced in size by severance of the severable formation(s).

Tread module

A buckle for use with a safety harness includes a plurality of slots each for receiving an end of a harness belt section, each slot having associated therewith a retainer which is moveable into and out of engagement with an abutment surface defined by the end of a belt section, first bias elements normally to urge the retainers to move to a position at which they each engage with an abutment surface of the end of a belt section following insertion into a slot, at least one of the retainers having associated therewith a lever which is pivotable against the action of the first bias elements to move the retainer to a release position at which it is free from engagement with the abutment surface, and an actuation member operable to act on the or each lever whereby the or each lever moves a retainer to the release position.

The invalid lifting device comprises a first mast upstanding from a first elongate chassis member and a second mast upstanding from a second elongate chassis member which is parallel or substantially parallel to the first chassis member. The lifting device also comprises a lifting arm supported by and extending between the first and second masts, the lifting arm comprising two parts pivotable relative to one another so that the distance between the masts can be varied. One part is supported by the first mast and the other part is supported by the second mast. Power operated means are provided for moving the two chassis members towards and away from one another. Each part of the lifting arm comprises a parallelogram linkage to maintain the chassis members in parallel or substantially parallel relationship as the two chassis members are moved towards and away from one another. Each mast may be telescopically extendible/retractable and power operated means may be provided for extending and retracting the two masts in synchronism with one another.

A connector assembly for a handrail installation comprises two connector components one of which locates within the bore of an end of a tubular member of the handrail installation and the other of which connects to a second member of the handrail installation, each connector component comprising a head portion and a location portion and the head portions of the two handrail connector components being provided with apertures to receive a retention means for holding the two connector components in interconnected relationship, said apertures and the retention means each having a major axis thereof extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of said bore of the end of a tubular member of the handrail installation whereby, during construction of a handrail installation, the retention means may act as a pivot to allow the two connector components to pivot one relative to the other about an axis substantially perpendicular to said longitudinal direction, a first of said connector components providing a fixed location of the retention means relative to said first of the two components and a second of said components having an aperture which is of elongate form in a plane perpendicular to said major axis whereby, during construction of a handrail installation, the second member may be selectively positioned relative to the first member, said retention means being operable firmly to secure the two head portions relative to one another.

The invalid hoist comprises a lifting arm, a sling hanger support angularly displaceable relative to the lifting arm about a vertical or substantially vertical axis, and a sling hanger which is a unitary construction pivotable about a horizontal axis relative to the sling hanger support and which presents two spaced sling attachment points on one side of the horizontal axis and at least one sling attachment point on the other side of the horizontal axis. The invalid hoist also comprises rotary drive means for pivoting the sling hanger about said horizontal axis relative to the sling hanger support and switch means for selectively rotating the rotary drive means in one or other of two opposite directions.
