Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a soft finish on a fabric such as a suede tone, raised loops, broken loops or fleeced and for providing a faded effect such as a washed or faded denim. A fillet having a plurality of wires extending therefrom is wound on a cylinder of a finishing machine. The outer ends of the wires extending from the fillet are angled at approximately 80 DEG  from vertical. The wires are covered with an abrasive coating which is applied by an arc spray system. The coating extends around the perimeter of the wire from at least just below the bend of the wires and extending to the outer tip of the wires. The fabric is driven over a nip roll that is adjusted to bring the fabric in closer contact with the wires on the cylinder which is rotating. An alternative embodiment of accomplishing the same type of soft finish such as suede or washed or faded denim finish is accomplished with multi rolls (or kiss rolls) finish machinery using the coated wire fillet on each roll. The wires of fillets for napping machines are similarly covered with the abrasive coating for achieving a more efficient operation on a napper finishing machine. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a rotary grinding jig for use with the rotating shaft of a grinder and the like. Said rotary grinding jig comprises a base and a grinding member. The base is composed of a central member adapted to be fixed to the rotating shaft of the grinder and a retaining member for grinding member to be adhesively attached to the grinding member. The central member and the retaining member for grinding member are removably engaged with each other by means of ridges. The central member can be firmly secured to the rotary shaft by fixing screw, and the retaining member for grinding member can be removed with the central member remaining attached to the rotary shaft. If the grinding member wears out, only the retaining member for grinding member and the grinding member may be thrown away for exchange for new ones. Additionally, the retaining member for grinding member may be of a two-piece type; the one member can be repetitively used while the other one may be discarded, so that the residue of members to be discarded can be reduced to a minimum. There are provided a stopper for preventing dissolution of the rotative engagement of the retaining member for grinding member and a means for preventing the retaining member for grinding member from dropping out of the central member. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A coupling device for the releasable connection of a lifting element, in particular of a jacquard machine, to at least one lifting element of a warp thread in a weaving machine. The preferred coupling device connects a sinker cord of a jacquard machine to a harness cord of the harness of a weaving machine. The coupling device has a first coupling part assigned to the lifting element and a second coupling part assigned to the harness cord. The coupling parts execute a radial relative movement during coupling and uncoupling. The coupling device provides for rotational alignment of the two coupling parts with one another. At least one coupling part is assigned or capable of being assigned a rotational alignment mechanism. The coupling device is used in a system which rapidly connects and disconnects many connectors at the same time. The system includes a positioning mechanism for vertically moving two positioning elements which operate the coupling devices between standby and operative positions, and for horizontally moving at least one of the positioning elements to cause the coupling parts of each coupling device to interlock and disengage. The positioning elements also cooperate with portions of at least one of the coupling parts to rotationally align the coupling parts so they may interlock.

Abstract: L'invention concerne le montage d'un connecteur électrique (20) sur une carte à circuits imprimés, notamment sur une carte à circuits imprimés contenant un matériau céramique, par exemple, un substrat LTCC ou un substrat HTCC. Pour éviter que le connecteur (20) ne se détache du substrat lors des variations de température dues à la différence entre le coefficient d'expansion thermique de la carte à circuits imprimés et celui du connecteur (20), on utilise une cale (10) dont le coefficient d'expansion thermique est compris entre celui de la carte à circuits imprimés et celui du connecteur. Une face de la cale (10) est soudée au connecteur et l'autre face à la carte à circuits imprimés. Le connecteur (20) est ainsi fixé à la carte à circuits imprimés. Des contraintes de cisaillement agissant entre le connecteur (20) et la carte à circuits imprimés sont réparties dans cette carte à l'aide de deux joints au lieu d'un.
