  • Patent number: 11737505
    Abstract: Proposed is an apparatus for manufacturing a hair cap. A rubber band mounting unit is formed on one side of the top surface of the workbench. A rubber band conveying unit is formed on the top surface of the workbench and grips the expanded rubber band. A nonwoven fabric cutting unit is formed on the other side of the top surface of the workbench to cut a nonwoven fabric. A nonwoven fabric fusing unit couples the rubber band, conveyed by the rubber band conveying unit, to the nonwoven fabric. A driving unit makes the rubber band conveying unit reciprocate to the rubber band mounting unit or the nonwoven fabric fusing unit. A collecting unit grips and collects the fused hair cap. Processes for placing the rubber band on the peripheral edge of the nonwoven fabric and bonding same are performed rapidly in succession.

  • Patent number: 6381039
    Abstract: A method for outgoing automatically an abbreviation dial list by a printer when either a user repeatedly inputs a non-registered number for a given number of times or when the user finishes a dialing in the midst of dialing a registered number. The method for achieving the object includes the steps of: a first detection for detecting whether it is the registered number, in case there is an input of an abbreviation dial number from the user; and a second detection for increasing a count in case it is not the registered number in the first detection step and then for detecting whether the count value is more than a given value. The abbreviation dial list can be printed when the count value is more than the given value in the second detection step.

  • Patent number: 5966436
    Abstract: A redialing method in a communication apparatus provides that the digits of a telephone number are consecutively input by a user, and the actual time intervals between the consecutive inputs are measured and stored in memory along with the digits of the telephone number. During redialing, the digits of the telephone number and the actual time intervals between the consecutive digits are read from memory, and the telephone number is dialed by inserting the previously measured actual time intervals between the respective digits of the telephone number. According to this method, the redialing operation can be effectively performed in various kinds of information service telephones or key phones, and cumbersome key manipulation can be eliminated.
