The aid shown was devised to incorporate purpose made
bearings to facilitate rotation of the cones . The arrangement was specifically made to be weighty to give stability during use. Details of the device itself are attached together with the result of Client's endeavours.

Paddington Bear Money Box
Case ref:08/26 (24)
Case ref:08/26 (24)
The three foot tall Paddington Bear money box belongs to the national charity 'Action Medical Research' www.action.org.uk and had been vandalised - decapitated - whilst in a supermarket. Our services were therefore requested by the charity's local cammittee to effect a repair'
As the charity is dedicated to the 'improvement of health of babies and children for life' it was considered to be within our remit to undertake the repair. Construction was established to be from PVC and the repair was made by bonding the two parts with PVC adhesive, but in recognition of the extreme weight of the box when full - £400 on average - the repair was reinforced by placing wedges within the head and bolting these to the base.
