Abstract: The present invention provides a garment comprising a soft, knit tank top with a built-in, floating bra. The bra cups and front bridge are constructed with the same fabric as the tank top. Bra cups connect to the tank top partially along front neckline and are double-layered to provide space for removable and inter-changeable sized inserts for different levels of coverage. A floating back panel is made with a single-layer of compression fabric to provide tension support and anchor the front. The straps of the tank top are double-layered shell fabric and connect at a top of the shoulder to wide, flat-lock stitched vertical back bra straps made with compression fabric. This tank top with built-in bra support is a bra replacement worn as a stand-alone top garment or a layering piece underneath outer layers.
Abstract: Apparatus for the automated assembly of sandwich items, such as biscuit and sausage sandwiches, consists generally of a frame on which are carried a slicing station, a separation station and an assembly station, all of which are automated. The slicing station includes slicing means for slicing into upper and lower sections the material which is to become the exterior layers of the layered product. At the separation station the upper section is removed from the lower section thus exposing the lower section for receiving the middle layer of the layered product. The assembly station includes of a pair of pneumatically operated transfer shuttles carrying a plurality of downwardly depending pickup cylinders which include extendible piston arms having suction cups on the depending end of each arm.
