[Also in Division D1] Apparatus for forming loops 13 in a web 11 of weldable sheet material comprises a bed 1 having a plurality of transverse recesses 2 in which shaped holding pieces 10 can be placed to overlie the web 11, the pieces 10 comprising upper portions upon which a double layer of the web 11 can be arranged to rest, these upper portions acting as counter-electrodes for the welding of each double layer to form a loop 13 in the web 11. The bed 1 is made of electrically insulating material and levers 3 are each mounted by a hinge 4 to a retaining plate 5 between the recesses 2. Magnets 4<SP>1</SP> hold the levers 3 against their respective plates 5 which are rockable about pivots 6 and magnets 9 hold the levers 3 vertical. Metal rods 8 are carried between bifurcations 7 in the levers 3. In use, the web 11 is drawn off from a reel (not shown), laid across the rods 8 and clamped by a hinged magnet bar 12. The first of the pieces 10 is inserted into the recess 2 nearest the bar 12 and the first pair of levers 3 is swung to the left to the position shown in Fig. 3, further material being drawn off from the reel. Further pieces 10 are inserted into successive recesses and a pair of levers 3 swung to the left after each insertion to form loops 13. The web 11 is then severed from the reel. The bed 1 is slid into a high-frequency welding machine. The loops 13 are welded by electrodes 14 with the shaped pieces 10 forming the counter-electrodes. After welding, the levers 3 are swung back to the vertical and then pivoted away from the plates 5 so that the rods 8 are free. The pieces 10 and the rods 8 are removed. To form a motor vehicle hood hoops are subsequently passed into the loops 13. Alternatively, the hoops, instead of the rods 8, may be inserted into the levers 3. The hoops may be straight or curved and the electrodes 14 may be correspondingly profiled. The web 11 may be cut to size beforehand and the position of the loops 13 marked. The web 11 may be made of plastic material or a fabric laminated with a thermoplastic material.
