Abstract: A non-woven fabric is produced by the transportation of a fiber flow at an angle which is less than 90.degree. to the transport direction of the non-woven fabric to be manufactured, with the feed rate of the fiber flow being controlled, the fibers which are to form a fiber layer being placed next to one another, and with the formed fiber layer being simultaneously, and in the lateral border areas of the fiber layers, being consecutively, combined with the preceding fiber layer, reinforcing the produced non-woven fabric. The angle of the fiber flow to the transport direction of the non-woven fabric to be manufactured is set between 0.degree. and 89.degree.. The controlling of the fiber flow comprises monitoring of the quantity feed rate and/or dissociation of the fiber flow and/or fiber mixing, immediately prior to the formation of a fiber layer.

Abstract: Bridal headdress apparatus includes a frame portion, a fastening portion, a supporting portion, an illuminating portion, a diffusing portion, a power supplying portion and a circuitry portion. The frame portion includes a face section formed with spaced generally parallel horizontal elongated upper and lower peripheral sections with end sections extending between the horizontal sections. The fastening portion includes at least one securing member extending from the lower horizontal section. The supporting portion includes an intermediate section extending between the horizontal upper and lower sections. The illuminating portion includes a plurality of spaced miniature incandescent lamps disposed along the length of the supporting portion. The diffusing portion includes a semi-transparent membrane over the lamps with the membrane being disposed on the side of the lamps adjacent the face section of the frame portion.
