A plurality of nested shuttlecocks are stored inside a storage tube that has removable (e.g., screwable) caps covering both ends of the tube. There are two removable caps, one at each end of the tube. One cap is long enough to hold a perforated container (i.e., puck) that contains a humidifying material (e.g., water-containing Propylene glycol, or water-containing Polymer); while the other (opposing) cap is long-enough to contain a battery-powered, electronic hygrometer

A spring carrier for receiving, retaining and discharging of a coil spring in a manufacturing assembly process comprising an elongate hollow body defining an inner cavity configured to receive a coil spring and an opening at a first proximal end of the hollow body for the insertion and/or extraction of a coil spring into/from the inner cavity. The hollow body includes a second distal end opposite to the first proximal end. At least one deflectable member is located proximate to the second distal end of the hollow body and includes a retaining formation which is configured to engage a coil spring when located within the inner cavity. The deflectable member is movable between a first unbiased position, whereby the retaining formation extends into the inner cavity to engage the coil spring when located within the inner cavity, and a second biased position, whereby the retaining formation is disposed outwardly to disengage a coil spring when located within the inner cavity. An apparatus comprising such a spring carrier, and a method of manipulating a coil spring using such a spring carrier, are also disclosed.

A thin-walled polypropylene product display tube. The thin-walled polypropylene product display tube includes a tubular member having a closed end, an open end, an inner diameter and, between the closed end and the open end, a first outer diameter, the open end terminating in a flared portion having a second outer diameter, the tubular member having a wall thickness sufficient to yield a level of haze equal to or less than 8%. A process for forming a thin-walled polypropylene product display tube is also provided.

A protector for a windshield wiper assembly includes an elongated body defining a cavity receiving at least the blade of the wiper assembly. The cover is used to protect the assembly from snow, ice, mud, etc. Preferably, the assembly is pivoted away from the windshield before the blade is inserted into the body. Caps with decorative covers are provided at the ends of the body. The body may be made of a translucent material and may be covered with logos, insignia and other advertising materials.

A latchable package comprises: a support (200) for supporting one or more items; a structure (300) for selectively blocking access to the one or more items; and a latchable insert (400). The latchable insert comprises a substantially planar tab member that is coupled to the support such that the insert and support are movable together in an opening direction from a first position in which the structure blocks access to the one or more items to a second position in which the one or more items are accessibly clear of the structure. The structure and the latchable insert comprise co-operating latch features (380) configured to engage when the insert and support are arranged in the first position.
