Abstract: A lighting device for vehicle wheels for illuminating the inner portion of a wheel. The lighting device includes a generally translucent annular tube that is filled with neon gas for producing light when an electrical charge is introduced. The tube and extends around an outer perimeter of a brake drum such that the light emitted from the tube is visible through the spokes of the rim of a wheel. A plurality of brackets are coupled to the brake drum towards the outer perimeter of the brake drum. Each of the brackets has first and second flange ends. Each of the brackets is bent to form a generally annular eye between the flange ends of the brackets, through which the tube extends. A power source is electrically connected to the tube.

Abstract: In a loom of the type wherein the filling yarn is inserted into the warp shed in the form of cut lengths and wherein a reed serves for beating-up the inserted filling yarn into the fabric at the fell of the cloth, the combination therewith of improved means for severing the terminal ends of filling yarns projecting outwardly from at least one of the selvages of the fabric being woven; which improved means comprises positioning a cutter adjacent at least one end of the reed, and providing a relatively wide widthwise extending opening in the reed adjacent the end where the cutter is positioned, with the opening being of a width substantially greater than the dent spacing of the reed; so that when the reed is reciprocated in beating-up the filling yarn into the fabric, the cutter has portions thereof that are positioned in the opening in the reed for severing the terminal ends of the filling yarn close to the selvage of the fabric being woven.
