Abstract: An increased air pressure forced hot air towel warmer comprising a substantially airtight enclosure configured to be more desirable and user friendly when placed in close proximity to a tub or shower whether mounted within cabinetry, on the wall or when permanently installed between existing standard 16 inch on center wall support studs while protruding as little as possible into the room. Intended for use with large area plush towels and bath sheets for which insertion in a limited width wall enclosure or shallow depth cabinetry leads to greater vertical depth of towel material to be penetrated and substantially increases the resistance to air flow, therefore back pressure, thereby necessitating increased supply pressure to maintain adequate hot air flow through the towel. Increased supply pressure is created without objectionable noise by use of low noise rotary blowers and associated pressure accumulator cavities arranged in tandem such that their respective pressure gradients are additive.

Abstract: A towel warmer heated by either forced hot air or microwave energy comprising a trapezoidal substantially airtight enclosure having a minimal vertical dimension access door consistent with bathroom vanities and free standing nursery towel cabinets to enable placing a towel to be warmed in the enclosure and to enable removing the warmed towel there from; an inclined shelf disposed within an inner rhomboidal cavity to support the towel and inclined from front to rear in order to facilitate insertion of the towel; an electrical control circuit disposed within the enclosure to automatically control the heating process for a given period of time or until the access door is opened, whichever occurs first and an operator friendly electronic control system which anticipates the users intent without the need for external pushbuttons.

Abstract: A programmable sewing machine adapted to learn and store, in Automatic Learn or Key Learn Modes of operation, a series of sewing machine operations for later automatic duplication, in an Automatic Sew Mode of operation, at the same sewing rate as the initial operation, or at the peak sewing rate achieved during each operation; or, in a Control Sew Mode of operation, at a controlled lower speed. Additionally, the machine operation may be limited in a Set Up Mode to preset rates for machine speed, copy or peak speed automatic operation, number of start stitches, number of stop stitches, start speed and stop speed. The machine may be operated in the Manual Mode with provision for first tack and last tack and thread trim and wipe when desired. The automatic operation of the sewing machine may be interrupted to go into a Repair Mode during which the sewing machine may be operated manually, and, on proper command, to revert back to the Automatic Sew Mode at the particular operation which was interrupted.

Abstract: A programmable industrial sewing machine adapted to learn and store a series of sewing machine operations for later automatic duplication, in an Automatic Sew Mode of operation, at the same sewing rate as the initial operation, or at a peak sewing rate achieved during each operation; or, in a Control Sew Mode of operation at a controlled lower sew speed. The automatic operation of the sewing machine may be interrupted in order to vary the sew speed, and will revert to automatic operation on operator command where the interruption took place. In the Automatic Sew Mode of operation, stitching may also be interrupted to vary a prior pivot delay time, i.e. a time duration with the presser foot elevated and the sewing needle in a lowered position through a work material. Again, stitching will be reinitiated on operator command at the point at which interrupted.

Abstract: A home knitting machine is provided with electronic control means which function pursuant to patterning instructions on a program card and in response to the operation of control devices by an operator causing needle actuators on the carriage of the machine to be selectively operated and fabric knitted in a prescribed manner on the machine.
