In one embodiment, Figs. 1, 3, 4 and 6, the weft strands in the areas 50a, 50b are omitted during weaving and the number of weft threads omitted exceeds by at least two the number of weft strands remaining in areas 20a, 20b, Fig. 1. It is stated that 5-12 weft strands may be omitted or removed. Some warp strands are cut out all across the width in the areas 50a, 50b, e.g. every second, third or fourth strand is cut out or two strands together are cut out and one left. The warp strands remaining in the areas 50a, 50b are bent in directions 9a, 9b, Fig. 3, to produce partially uncrimped strands 8a, 8b. The end 1a is placed over the end 1b so that the strands 8a, 8b are meshed together and a pintle wire 10 is inserted therebetween, Fig. 4. Tension is applied by pulling areas 30a, 30b apart, Fig. 5 (not shown), and the areas 20a, 20b align themselves along the strands 80, 8b, Fig. 6. To prevent separation at the end edges 1a, 1b the warp strands are heat sealed or adhered to weft strands 21a, 21b. In another embodiment, Fig. 7 (not shown), strands (70a), (70b) extending from the areas (20a), (20b) are interwoven, respectively, into areas (30b), (30a). In a further embodiment, Fig. 8, two or more crimps 100a, 110a, 100b, 1106 of unwefted warp may be intermeshed with two or more pintle pins 200, 300 inserted.

Abstract: 1400828 Tape cartridge apparatus MATSUSHITA ELECTRIC INDUSTRIAL CO Ltd 28 Sept 1972 [30 Sept (5)] 44869/72 Heading G5R A tape cartridge apparatus wherein cartridge insertion automatically initiates playback includes selectors 14, 46 to permit recording and fast-forward transport respectively, whereby, in order to record, the record selector 14 must be held actuated during cartridge insertion and is thereby locked, while the fast-forward selector 46 is rendered inoperable. The record-mode selector 14 includes a slide 15 having a pin 26, and a switch 21 linked to the slide 15 by a lever 23, which is biased against the pin 26 by a spring 28. A further slide 31 for latching the selector slide 15 is moved in response to cartridge insertion/withdrawal by a detector lever 41 engaging the cartridge 4. With no cartridge inserted, the slide 15 may be pushed in and latched in its operative position by a lug 39 on the latch slide 31 engaging a notch 38. Upon cartridge insertion, however, the latch slide 31 moves and releases the slide 15. A second lug 36 on the latch slide 31 thereafter engages either notch 35 or 34, according to whether the slide 15 has been manually held in its operative position or not, and the slide 15 is thus locked in its operative or inoperative position. After cartridge insertion, the slide 15 therefore cannot be moved unless the cartridge is withdrawn. The fast-forward selector 46 includes a slide 47 carrying a latch pin 49, Fig. 5. When the slide 47 is pushed in, the pin 49 enters a notch 50 of a latch lever 52 and abuts the side of an oblique lug 51 of the lever 52, and thus latches the slide 47. The slide 47 is released by depressing it further, when pin 49 moves under the lug 51, whereupon the slide 47 can return, lifting up the lever 52. The lever 52 can also be lifted to release the slide 47 by pivoting an operating member 56, when a lug 58 thereon engages a lug 59 on the lever 52, and an edge 56a engages the pin 49 to prevent further depression of the slide 47. The member 56 is actuated by a lug 63 on a lever 61 to render the selector 46 inoperable during recording, when a lug 18 on slide 15 engages a lug 62 on the lever 61, and during cartridge insertion/withdrawal, when the lug 63 is engaged by a lever 8 on which a cartridgelocking roller 9 is mounted.

Abstract: 1,245,598. Feeding webs. MASCHINENFABRIK BENNINGER A.G. 20 Sept., 1968 [26 Sept., 1967], No. 44929/68. Heading B8R. A web B passing from a driven winding roller 1 to a driven winding roller 2 or vice versa is formed into a loop by two rollers 6, 7 connected to a doubly bent arm 10 controlling a regulator 5 which regulates the friction drives connecting a motor to the winding rollers 1, 2. The loop is immersed in liquid 4 in a vat 3. The roller 6 is arranged at one end of the arm 10 and the roller 7 is mounted on a bolt 12 pivotally interconnecting two levers 13, 14, one 14 of which is pivoted at 15 to the vat 3 and the other 13 of which is pivoted at 17 to the arm 10. Outside the vat the arm 10 is pivoted about a shaft 11 and is connected to the piston 19 of a pressure cylinder 20 by means of which any desired tension is imparted to the web. An increase in web speed owing to an increase in the diameter of the windup roll tends to shorten the loop of web in the vat and consequently the arm 10 is rocked and actuates the regulator 5 which adjusts the speeds of the rollers 1, 2 to maintain the same tension in the loop. The length of the loop thus remains constant.
