Second-hand purchases: Are consumers protected by the CPA or not?
Prior to the establishment of the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 (the Act) there was an unfavourable balance of power in respect of sale transactions in favour of the supplier. The implementation of the Act has gone a long way to redistribute the power equally among consumers and suppliers.
Since the implementation of the Act consumers who enter into transactions for the purchase of new goods are afforded protection from the Act should the goods purchased turn out to be defective. However, the question is whether consumers enjoy the same protection from the Act when they purchase second-hand or used goods that turn out to be defective.
For example, is a consumer who purchases a defective second-hand vehicle protected by the Act, or is he bound by the defect since the seller was not obliged to guarantee the quality of the goods since the goods purchased were second-hand or used goods.
The Act provides protection to consumers. For this reason, it deserves mention that a consumer is a person to whom goods are sold in the ordinary course of the supplier's business. If a person is a consumer in terms of the Act, such person will be protected by section 55 and 56 of the Act.
Section 55(2) of the Act states that a consumer is entitled to goods that are:
Reasonably suitable for the purpose for which they have been sold;
In good working, order and condition; and
Useable and durable for a reasonable period of time having regard to the normal use to which the goods sold will be put.
Section 56(1) of the Act states that the provisions in section 55(2) are implied in every transaction concerning the supply of goods to a consumer.
Section 56(2) of the Act states that if a consumer purchases goods that do not comply with the requirements set out in section 55 a consumer may within six months of the purchase return the goods to the seller at the seller's risk and expense and the seller must at the direction of the consumer either:
Repair or replace the defective goods; or
Refund the consumer fully for the goods purchased.
Section 56(3) of the CPA states that if the seller is unable to repair the defect within three months the seller must:
Replace the goods; or
Refund the consumer fully.
There are certain consumers who are excluded from the protection afforded by section 55 and 56 of the Act, these being those that purchase goods through an auction.
From the abovementioned law in the Act it is evident that the Act does not distinguish between the purchases of new or second-hand goods. For this reason, a consumer who purchases second-hand or used goods will also enjoy protection from the Act except when:
The sale of second-hand goods by the supplier to the consumer does not fall within the supplier's ordinary course of business; and/or
The consumer purchases the goods through an auction; or
More than six months have passed since the purchase.
Provided neither of the abovementioned exceptions apply, a consumer who purchases defective second-hand or used goods will be protected by the Act. Such protection will entitle the consumer who purchased the defective second-hand goods to return the goods to the supplier at the supplier's risks and expense. The supplier is then obliged to repair the goods or alternatively replace them free of charge for the consumer. Should the supplier attempt to repair the goods, but not be able to do so successfully within three months of the goods being returned to the supplier, then the supplier is obliged to replace the goods or refund the consumer fully.
In conclusion, the Act does not only afford protection to consumers who purchase defective new goods, it extends such protection to consumers who purchase defective second-hand or used goods. To exclude second-hand goods from the protection afforded by section 55 and 56 of the Act would undermine the very purpose for which the Act was implemented, namely, to protect vulnerable consumers. Excluding second-hand and used goods from such protection would exclude protection for that part of the population most in need of such protection – the socio-economically vulnerable.

A container assembly includes a central connecting member that extends to an attached support plate at the bottom of the container. After opening the top of the container, lifting of the connecting member results in the contents of the container being pulled up by the support plate for ease of use. The use of the assembly is particularly useful for materials having a thick consistency such as dog food or cat food or spackling paste which are difficult to remove from their containers. In the preferred embodiment the support plate includes openings to drain any liquid from the contents of the container as the contents are being lifted from the container.

Description BACKGROUND
This invention relates to container assemblies and in particular to an improved container assembly with means for easily removing the contents of a container.
It has long been a recognized problem that foods having a thick consistency such as canned meats, including dog or cat foods, or even tomato paste, are difficult to remove from a container. Once the container is opened it is necessary to use aspoon or other utensil to scoop out the food from the container. Alternatively, it is necessary to use a knife to cut around the sides of the food to break the seal and cohesiveness between the food and the sides of the container. Other methods ofremoving the food from the container consist of opening both the top and the bottom ends of the container and then pushing the bottom lid through the container in order to push out the entire contents of the container. Similar problems have also beenrecognized in containers for non-food items such as putty or spackling paste.
It is also recognized that it is common to use only a portion of the contents of a food container. Therefore, it is undesirable to destroy the container in the process of removing a portion of the contents, such as opening both ends of thecontainer.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
A container constructed with a connecting member that attaches to a support plate at the bottom of the container and extends substantially to the top of the container. The contents of the container, such as dog or cat food or any other materialhaving a similar consistency, surrounds the connecting member and covers the support plate. The connecting member is attached at its other end to a finger engaging handle which protrudes from the top surface of the contents of the container. Thecontainer is then sealed in the conventional manner. When it is desired to remove the contents of the container, the top cover of the container is removed in the conventional manner and the connecting member that extends above the top surface of thecontents of the container is lifted, thereby lifting the lower support plate and the contents of the container contained above the lower support plate. The amount of the contents of the container desired to be removed is cut or scooped off into aseparate container, such as a dish.
In the preferred embodiment of the present invention the connecting member is flexible, such as a string, wire or a hollow flexible tube, so that it may be rested on the top of the remaining portion of the contents of the container when only aportion of the contents of the container is removed. The container would then be covered by a typical well-known cover, such as a plastic lid, and stored for future use. When it is desired to remove additional contents of the container at a later datethe flexible connecting member would be grasped and pulled up again to lift out the contents remaining in the container.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Referring to FIGS. 1-10 the content removal assembly is referred to generally as 10. A container 20, such as a dog food container, is constructed so that a connecting member 30 attaches to a lower support plate 40 at the bottom 24 of thecontainer 20 and extends substantially to the top 22 of the container 20. Connecting member 30 of a flexible material such as plastic, rubber or metal. The connecting member container may be a wire, a string or thread, a hollow flexible tube or even asolid post. One end of connecting member 30 is connected to the support plate 40 and the other end of connecting member 30 is secured to a finger engaging handle 50. The finger engaging handle 50 may be made of the same material as the connectingmember 30 or may also be made of any other non-toxic or non-corrosive material such as metal suitable for canned foods or plastic.
The lower support plate 40 is made of a rigid material capable of supporting the contents of the container when the finger engaging handle 50 is pulled. The support plate 40 may be shaped to conform to the shape of the container in which it isused. As shown in FIG. 2, the support plate 40 for use in a cylindrical container 20 is circular and conforms to the shape of the container 20. The diameter of the support plate 40 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the container 20 so that itmay easily slide and fit inside the container 20. The support plate 40 also has openings 42 so that any liquid from the contents of the container 20 may be drained as the support plate 40 is lifted from the container 20. The openings 42 may be circularopenings as shown in FIG. 2 or may be in any other shape such as elongated slots. In a slot configuration, the openings 42 are suitably sized so as not to permit the contents of the container to slip therethrough.
The support plate 40 also has a central aperture 45 through which the connecting member 30 may be threaded and then attached to a stopper 46 having a larger diameter than the central aperture 45 as shown in FIG. 6. The stopper 46 is positionedat the bottom of the support plate 40 and acts as a means for engaging the support plate when the connecting member 30 is lifted.
In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, instead of being circular, the lower support plate 40 comprises of a number of fan-like side extensions 44 as shown in FIG. 3. The fan-like side extensions 44 would be used when the contentsof the container 20 have a thick consistency such as canned meats. As canned meats tend to stick together and retain the shape of the interior of the container 20, it is not necessary to have a circular support plate 40 as shown in FIG. 2. A supportplate 40 as shown in FIG. 3 would be adequate to lift the canned meats out from the container 20.
As shown in FIG. 4, the support plate 40 may also have an upstanding lip 48 at its circumference to scrape the sides on the inside of container 20 as the support plate 40 is lifted from the container 20 in order to avoid leaving any contents ofthe container 20 on the bottom or on the sides of the container 20.
As shown in FIG. 7, as an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the connecting member 30 may be a hollow flexible tube and may have a length that is substantially longer than the distance between the support plate 40 and the top 22 ofthe container 20 so the connection between the finger engaging handle 50 and the support plate 40 is slack as shown in FIG. 7. As the finger engaging handle 50 is lifted, the connecting member 30 is pulled taut to remove the slack in the connectingmember. As the slack is removed, the connecting member 30 being, a hollow flexible tube, creates an air channel throughout the contents of the container 20. The air channel permits air from the exterior of the container 20 to flow through theconnecting member 20 and to communicate with the space S below the support plate 40 through the central aperture 45. In the space S, between the bottom of the contents within the container and the bottom 24 of the container 20, a vacuum exists whichacts to pull and keep the contents of the container from being removed from the container 20. The vacuum in the container is eliminated by the communication of air through the connecting member 30 to the space S. As a result, the contents of thecontainer 20 may be easily removed by lifting the support plate 40. Once the contents of the container 20 are lifted by the support plate 40, the amount of the contents desired to be removed is cut or scooped off into a separate container, such as ananimal's food dish.
As an alternative, an air channel may be created through the contents of container 20 by a connecting member 30 that is a string or a wire instead of a hollow tube. When the string or wire of the connecting member 30 is lifted, an air channel iscreated in the contents of the container 20 so that air flows from the exterior of the container, through the air channel and through the central aperture 45 of the support plate 40 to eliminate the vacuum between the contents of the container and thebottom 24 of the container 20.
As it is possible that the finger engaging handle 50 might sink into the top surface of the contents of the container during shipping or inversion of the container, the finger engaging handle 50 may be removably affixed by a ring 52 to the insideof the top 22 of the container 20 as shown in FIG. 7. When the top 22 of the container 20 is removed, it lifts the finger engaging handle 50 out of the contents of the container 20. The user may then remove the finger engaging handle 50 from the ring52 and commence pulling on the finger engaging handle 50 or the user may continue to lift the top 22 in order to raise the supporting plate 40 and the food supported thereon out of the container 20.
Referring to FIGS. 8-10, in containers having a "pop top" removable top 22, an external tab T used to pry open the top 22 and then to pull the top 22 back is typically riveted to the top 22. A portion 60 of the rivet R which passes through thetop 22 and fastens to the interior surface 21 of the top 22 may be attached to the finger engaging handle 50 so that when the top 22 is pulled back, the connecting member 30 is also pulled. Once the top 22 is separated from the container, the contentsof the container may be lifted out.
As shown in FIG. 10, as an alternative, the portion 60 of the rivet R may have a hook member 62, extending from the interior surface 21, for engaging the finger engaging handle 50 once the top 22 of the pop-top container is removed. The hookmember 62 avoids the need for the user of the container 20 to use his fingers to engage the finger engaging handle 50.
During assembly, the container assembly 10 of the present invention is inserted in the container 20 at the time the container 20 is filled with the contents to be stored therein. The support plate 40 with the flexible connecting member 30already attached is inserted so that it is seated at the bottom of the container 20. The contents of the container 20, such as dog or cat food, tomato paste, or other non-food material are then poured into the container 20 and surround the connectingmember 30 and cover the surface 32 of support plate 40. If the connecting member 30 is a hollow flexible tube as shown in FIG. 7, it is placed within the contents of the container so that it is not fully extended in order to maintain a slack between thefinger engaging handle 50 and the support plate 40. The finger engaging handle 50 is then placed so that it protrudes from the top surface of the contents of the container or may be attached to the top 22 as described above. The container 20 is thensealed in the conventional manner.
When it is desired to remove the contents of the container 20, the top cover 22 is removed in the conventional manner and the connecting member 30 that extends above the top layer of the contents of the container is lifted either manually or bythe top 22 if attached thereto, thereby lifting the support plate 30 the contents of the container 20 contained above the lower support plate 40.
While the present invention has been described in detail with respect to its preferred embodiment, it is appreciated that other variations of the present invention may be devised which do not depart from the inventive concept of the presentinvention.
For example, the container 20 instead of being cylindrical may be in the shape of an oval, rectangle, or a square. The food assembly 10 of the present invention would then be shaped to correspond to the shape of the container 20. The foodcontainer 20 may also be made of a plastic material, coated paper or any other suitable material.

Broncho quietly released a new song ("It's On") late last year.
The song will appear on the season three premiere of the HBO show "Girls", which airs this coming Sunday, January 12 at 8pm CST.
The song will also hopefully appear on the band's early awaited follow-up to their 2011 debut, Can't Get Past the Lips.


Gurney's Pitta: lost and found - and lost again?
Once thought to be lost forever, the Gurney's Pitta has dodged extinction several times over the decades. Now, confined to Myanmar and beset by habitat destruction and civil unrest, it may be running out of chances.
Gurney's Pitta Hydrornis gurneyi (Endangered) has declined by a staggering 70% in just 13 years, its rapid population plummet a result of habitat loss. Following its relatively recent extinction from Thailand, the species now occupies a small range of flat, low-lying forests in Myanmar. Unfortunately, these same forests are being cleared to make way for oil palm and betel nut plantations.
This isn't the first time this striking species has been in danger of extinction. Widespread in Thailand before 1915, Gurney's Pitta was feared extinct after there were no confirmed sightings between 1952 and 1985. Rediscovery came with excitement in 1986, and populations were then discovered in five separate locations. However, by 1997 the species had again dwindled – occurring in only one of its previous five Thai habitats. By this time, the global population was estimated at a mere nine pairs and the pitta was believed to be one of the rarest species on earth.
Luckily, a search for the species in Myanmar in 2003 found the bird at several sites and estimated the population at between 5,000 and 8,500 pairs. Despite this encouraging discovery, since then the decline has been precipitous. Whilst it is currently listed as Endangered, civil unrest within the final stronghold of the range could increase rates of habitat loss and push the species to Critically Endangered. Without slowing this decline through habitat protection, Gurney's Pitta may disappear from Myanmar just as it has from Thailand, except this time there will be no second chance.
The Helmeted Hornbill is under threat from a resurgence in demand for carvings made from its solid red casque. The trade is so intense that the bird is now Critically Endangered. Can it be saved?
Hotspots of exploitation: where are species under greatest threat?
A new paper pinpoints global hotspots for unsustainable commercial harvesting of species to prioritise efforts tackling one of the greatest threats to nature.

A new Griffin on campus: Sylvia O'Hara
By Chloie Dale on September 13, 2015
There was not a dull moment at the opening ceremony for the new Center for Veteran and Military Services, except for Westminster trustee Kim T. Adamson's scissors, but with fellow trustee Wood Moyle's help, the ribbon was successfully cut. Photos by Rachel Robertson
Sylvia O'Hara joins Westminster's staff as the new executive director for the Center for Veteran and Military Services.
O'Hara was born in Woodruff, Utah (a farming community located up north) and spent most her childhood there. Upon graduating high school, O'Hara enlisted in the Utah Army National Guard and served for six years. During her service, she met her spouse and also graduated from the University of Utah with a bachelors in mass communication.
This July, O'Hara was appointed as the executive director for the new veterans center on Westminster's campus. From co-organizing a documentary shedding light on female veterans to planning Veterans Day events at the University of Utah, O'Hara has an extensive background in helping veterans.
"I started by helping other [military] spouses through the [deployment] process," said O'Hara when talking about her first experience with helping veterans.
She said she found it hard to find people who could relate to her situation. Because of this, she said she wanted to reach out to military spouses and be the support they needed. O'Hara said this was an unexpected path for her to take, but also a rewarding one for her.
Before joining Westminster, O'Hara was part of the University of Utah's Veterans Support Center. While there, she met a group looking to gain more knowledge on how to effectively run a veterans center (hint: it was a group from Westminster).
"Westminster has a great reputation, and I was impressed with how intentional and thoughtful they were at getting this [center] right," O'Hara said.
Westminster College's President Steve Morgan played a vital role in selecting the executive director, and after interviewing multiple candidates, he determined O'Hara was the perfect fit for the job.
"We were really fortunate that she applied," Morgan said. "We liked her immediately. She is not a rookie. She hits the ground running…I think our veterans will connect with her."

Three years ago, former staff members suggested the idea of a veterans and military student center. After countless meetings and visits to other Utah higher education veterans centers, Westminster created its own.
Safia Keller, director of corporate relations, has been part of this process since the beginning. She is a driving force behind acquiring funding for the center. Keller was on the tour of the University of Utah's veterans center, where she first met O'Hara.
When asked about O'Hara, Keller said she immediately knew she had the personality to make Westminster's new center succeed.
O'Hara said she hopes the center will provide a place for veterans and military students to share similar experiences and feel accepted.
"My favorite part is working with students," O'Hara said. "I think it is enjoyable to see students bloom. They learn the ropes, learn what they want to do and excel."
The new center is located in Walker Hall, and an opening ceremony was held on Friday, September 11.
