Abstract: The modular high-capacity hanger was conceived to exceed the capacity and versatility of existing heavy-duty hangers. To achieve this goal, the hanger body features 3 sets of customized arms, a lower hook and four twist-on accessory hooks. The hanger swivel handle and the 4 accessory hooks are removable to reduce the size of the hanger when not in use. As a result, the modular high-capacity hanger offers an unmatched versatility and a storage capacity equivalent to multiple conventional heavy-duty hangers.

Abstract: A garment hanger with a hook either metal or plastic that moves between a substantially vertical position and a substantially horizontal position or also remains in a stationary upright position. The body of the hanger has arms that collapse and move between a substantially vertical position and a substantially horizontal position. Secondary “locking” system on arms and bodies to ensure the arms remain in a horizontal position without folding unintentionally by being interlocked with each other in a manner that requires a user to manually release the interlocking through use of a lock releasing lever. This allows easier insertion or removal of hanger in closed neck garment. When both arms and hook are folded or collapsed this creates footprint reduction of hanger, creating space savings in packaging and transport. A size tab can be fitted to the hanger.

Abstract: A tool allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. Based on a laser input file with a pattern, a laser will burn the pattern onto apparel. With the tool, the user will be able to create, make changes, and view images of a design, in real time, before burning by a laser. Input to the tool includes fabric template images, laser input files, and damage input. The tool allows adding of tinting and adjusting of intensity and bright point. The user can also move, rotate, scale, and warp the image input.

Abstract: A method of forming a patterned carpet in a tufting machine with a sliding needle bar (4) comprising a plurality of needles (5). The method comprising analysing desired pattern data to determine if a problem condition is present for a particular arrangement of tufts in the desired pattern data based on the relative location of at least two stitches in the desired pattern data. Changing the colour of at least one tuft from that required by the desired pattern data to create actual pattern data in which the problem condition is eliminated (or alerting to a user). The problem condition may be the tufts will be spaced by less than a predetermined amount. Alternatively, it may be that a needle (5) forming a tuft in a transitional line is not required to form a tuft for a more than a predetermined number of reciprocations of the needle bar after to the transitional line.
