Abstract: The field desk includes a cabinet 51 having a top 84 rotatably connected with an extensible worktop. The worktop has two leaves 110, 112 hingedly connected to sides of a central section 92. A swivel or twist of the rotatable coupling allows the worktop to be turned between a first position, where the hinges are supported by the top 84 of the cabinet 51, and a second position, where the leaves 110, 112 can be rotated downwardly to seal the front and back of the cabinet 51, which may form a transport cube. The leaves 110, 112 may be held in the second position by connectors or magnets. The cabinet 51 may include removable closure boards 76, which can include sound-proofing, a white or pin board, an electronic display or ballistic panel, and can be erected onto the worktop. The cabinet 51 may be a cupboard or set of drawers. The closure boards 76 may be stored in a drawer and may partially seal an upper opening in the drawer.

Abstract: A modular body armour system (100) includes an upper shoulder harness (102) in which shoulder straps (106, 108) are pivotally rotatable relative to each other and also to front and back connecting bridges (112, 114) that define a closed loop for the harness (102). Armour plates (124, 126) are attachable to the bridges (112, 114) and extend generally downwardly to protect the front and back torso regions of a wearer of the body armour (100). Pivotal articulation of the body armour (100) permits the armour to roll advantageously with the movement of its wearer such that movement, such as crouching or the adoption of a firing position, is not generally restricted. A lower girdle (104) incorporates additional plates and panels (140, 142, 105, 152) to provide enhanced protection to the wearer, which lower girdle (104) may be entirely independent of the upper shoulder harness (102). By providing for chest expansion through an elasticated connection within both the shoulder harness (102) and the lower girdle (104), a wearer is placed under less physiological stress during times of exertion and mental stress, thereby improving the overall performance of the wearer.

Abstract: An evaporative cooling device (40) is disclosed for cooling water or other liquids comprising a vessel (50) adapted to receive water or another liquid, said vessel comprising a vessel wall (53, 54, 55), an outer layer (90) of absorbent material and a wick (85) extending through said vessel wall, such that said wick is positioned to contact said water or other liquid within the vessel and is adapted to transport a portion of said water or other liquid through the wall by capillary action to said absorbent material, said wick being substantially impermeable to gas or vapour, so that the cooling device (40) can be connected in-line in an hydration system of the kind comprising a reservoir (12) and a drinking tube (32). Water or other liquid transported from within the vessel to the outer layer by said wick is absorbed by the absorbent material, from which it evaporates, the latent heat required for such evaporation being removed from the water or other liquid disposed within the vessel as sensible heat through the vessel wall, thereby cooling such water or other liquid. In some embodiments, the cooling device (40) may be fan-assisted. Also disclosed is a cooling garment comprising a garment portion that is adapted to be worn by a user and an evaporative cooling device (40) for cooling water or other liquids that are circulated through integrant channels or tubes provided in the garment.
