Abstract: A spherical cloth weaving machine in which radially stretched warp yarn and circumferentially running weft yarns are woven into a desired spherical shape, the machine being constructed with a mechanism for moving the warp yarns alternately by shuttle chucks which hold required numbers of the warp yarns at their outer peripheral part. A mechanism is provided for hooking the circumferential weft yarn and beating the same toward the center of the warp yarns for compact weaving. A weft yarn rotating mechanism causes the weft yarn to pass through the warp yarns which are being moved by the warp yarn moving mechanism. A mechanism is provided for maintaining the woven cloth in a spherical shape.

Abstract: A welder head comprises a pair of welding electrodes arranged opposite to each other through workpiece to be welded, an electrode holder including a sliding member for holding one of welding electrodes and a support member for supporting the sliding member slidably in an opposing direction of welding electrodes, a pressure mechanism for pressing the one of the welding electrodes toward the other of the welding electrodes through the electrode holder, an elastic member for urging the sliding member toward the opposing direction of the welding electrodes, and a U-shaped electricity feeder provided between the one of the welding electrodes and the support member of the electrode holder and for supplying a welding current to the one of the welding electrodes.
