Abstract: A device for making textile products from fibers and/or filaments moving in the form of a web is essentially formed by the cross-over movement of a set of identical spaced apart looper discs located on a common transverse axis with a set of identical looper fingers. The looper discs have spaced apart teeth along their perimeter.

Abstract: A device for holding and articulating a removable rear shelf of a motor vehicle. The device has a support which is secured to the vehicle. The shelf is able to pivot relative to the support about an axis of rotation. The shelf is held relative to the support by a first portion arranged on the support and a second portion arranged on the shelf, which engage one another. The shelf can be detached by resilient deformation of the first and second portions.

Abstract: The invention concerns a stretcher comprising a carriage (21) subjected to a back-and-forward motion (2) for depositing in successive segments (2a . . . 2d) a web of fibres (2) on an outgoing conveyor (6) moving along a direction (9). In order to produce ranges of different plies in the transverse profile of the lap (4) formed on the outgoing conveyor (6) by the web deposited in mutually overlapping segments, the points of inversion of direction (21) in the backward and forward motion of the carriage are different. As a result the successive folds (2ab, 2cd; 2bc, 2da) of the same direction are differently positioned, and the number of web plies in the lap is not the same over the whole width of the lap. The invention is useful for streamlining the lap freely and accurately.
